Roosters - Southpark

Mid-scale American
$46. - dinner for two (1/4 white chicken, mashed potatos, sugar snap peas, salad, french onion soup, 1 dessert and 2 waters)

Roosters is a new spot opened by the guy who runs Noble's. It's lower scale than Nobles, but the food is still really good. We arrived on a Monday night and it was packed. We ended up sitting at the bar which was a bar facing the cooking stations rather than a traditional bar. It's a cool setup at the "bar" where you can watch sous chefs prepare their specialties. We sat in the soup and salad section and watched the guy prepare a few. The menu is a la carte and ranges in price from $6 - $12 per item (less for sides but not much less). The salad was great ($6 for small portion) and the soup ($8) was a little rich both in flavor and price for me. Becky had the chicken and raved about the sauce it was prepared in. We split the sides which were really good and fresh tasting. The mashed potatos had a perfect amount of garlic but were a little small if the intention is to share. We split a dessert called chocolate peanut butter crunch with vanilla gelato. The flavor was nice but the texture was a little too crunchy and kind of hard to eat. It sounded better than it tasted. However, the gelato was awesome!! The interior of the restaurant is typical with the exception of one entire wall covered with stuffed Roosters. It was little strange, especially since we faced that direction the whole meal. All in all, I'd definitely go back. www.roosterskitchen.com
