    We were in Chicago for a couple of days in June and Roister came highly recommended. Our group of 6 was seated for an early dinner around 5:30PM. I loved that it was a completely open kitchen that I could peek at throughout the meal and see how the chefs were operating. The aged cheddar rilettes were 11/10. I'm still thinking about the bread. We also got oysters, roasted duck, smoked cauliflower, and the roister chicken. Though the duck was different from the traditional Peking style, I still really enjoyed the flavours. I wish all iterations of this dish came with scallion pancakes. We ended off the meal with the Cookies and Milk. I wasn't sure what to expect from its name, but this dessert was delicious. Overall, the quality of the restaurant was apparent in its unique menu items and level of service. I would definitely return the next time I'm in the city!

    My favorite restaurant in Chicago, hands down. The fried chicken is a MUST if you haven't had it. It's full of flavor and crispy. The rigatoni with crab is a second runner up for the best dish Roister has to offer. The prawn is also really good, but is not as filling as the other dishes. The prime rib was tender and cooked deliciously. You can't go wrong ordering anything off of Roister's menu! We always took our visitors here and every time it's a hit and Roister is their favorite meal of the entire trip that they still think about! I live in NYC now, and there's no restaurants here that are doing new-American cuisine like Roister.

    We sat outside and had some great food. The service was excellent, from the waitstaff to bus boy. Each dish had its own personality and some similarities but all were very different and exciting.

    My boyfriend and I went here for brunch and I loved it! We started with the cheddar rilettes, which was easily the highlight of the meal. I would go back solely for these. They were buttery, the rolls were soft and perfectly salted. We also got some espresso martinis which were fantastic. I ordered the mushroom toast. I loved the cheese on top, and I am a huge mushroom fan so I really enjoyed it. The toast was a little hard to cut and chew however. We also got the sliced potatoes as a side and they were so crispy! The staff were super nice and we sat at the counter so we got to watch them make the food which was cool. I would absolutely come back for their brunch especially!
