   We checked out Vol. 2 of Rooster & the Till's Winter Brunch Series today, and as expected, the menu was packed with incredible culinary creations. We made it our mission to try as many dishes as possible. Merguez Lamb 'Benedict' This twist on a brunch classic was a bold start. The rich, spiced lamb paired beautifully with whipped feta, all topped with a perfectly fried egg. The Jamison B English muffin provided the ideal base--pillowy with just the right amount of chew. Pork Belly Hash A standout dish with melt-in-your-mouth pork belly, complemented by the sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes. The poblano sofrito added a smoky depth, while the salsa macha brought a hint of heat that tied everything together. Duck Confit Tartine Crispy duck leg atop a crusty tartine with frisée, paprika aioli, and caramelized pear--this dish had it all. The balance of savory, smoky, and sweet flavors made this one of the highlights of the meal. Blue Crab Salad Light and refreshing, the blue crab salad came with crisp green apple, earthy celeriac, mustard greens, and a surprising pop of flavor from curry-fried garlic. Tiramisu French Toast This was the ultimate indulgence--espresso-soaked brioche, rich mascarpone, and cocoa, topped with candied hazelnuts for crunch. A tiramisu lover's dream turned into brunch perfection. The Cocktails Rooster's brunch cocktails were just as impressive as the food: * Irish Cold Brew: Natterjack Irish Whiskey, cold brew, and a bourbon cream float--like an elevated iced coffee with a boozy kick. * Breakfast Tonic: Bright and refreshing with Condesa Prickly Pear Gin, grapefruit, and Becherovka Spritz. * Sangrita Mary: A spicy twist on a Bloody Mary with Herradura Blanco and Ancho Verde * Acai Berry Bowl: A creative cocktail featuring New Amsterdam Vodka, Fair Acai, yogurt, and granola syrup--smooth and subtly sweet. Every meal I've experienced at Rooster & the Till has been an unbelievable culinary adventure, and today's brunch was no exception.

   First timers here and the experience blew us away. The foie gras was insane. As good as the food was the service was even better. I wish I could remember our servers name. She was a young lady with very short hair. I think it began with a B. Thank you for making our night incredble. Every one of your recommendations was right on.

   Really cool dining experience. We sat at the bar top overlooking the kitchen. It was cool to watch the food being made and talk to the cooks. Somewhat loud environment. Very vibrant. Our waitress recommended 4-6 dishes to split between 2 people. We ordered 2 at a time. They come out as they prepare them. Took about 1 and 45 minutes to eat so it's an experience. Very cool date night - definitely not good for kids.

   Honest review of Rooster and the Till Restaurant: Located at 6500 North Florida Ave. Rooster and the Till has been awarded the Bib Gourmand from Michelin! Since 1997, the best value for money restaurants – offering a three course meal at a reasonable price – have been pointed out using this award so I was excited to finally get reservations. The exterior of the restaurant is minimalistic, when I entered I quickly noticed the Square bar that encloses the culinary staff and bartenders. I sat at the Chefs counter which has high chairs that were comfortable. The staff were welcoming and very knowledgeable about the menu. My starter was their Asian take on Chicken and waffles with Miso, Yuza maple and caviar. This dish had soooo much flavor with a crispy piece of chicken over a soft waffle with a perfectly cooked crust. For my main I ordered the Prefix 3 course meal. My first course was a Wagyu beef tartare with charred pineapple and Chicharron Cracker. The tartare was great especially when you added a squeeze from the lime, the house made chicharron cracker was light, airy and a great crunch. My next course was the scallop tiradito with in season scallop, burnt tortilla mayo, Asian pear and Yuzu kosho (a Japanese condiment). This was one of my favorite dishes of the night, the scallop were perfectly seared, the mayo and yuzu kosho personified the dish to another level with the flavor profile. The next dish was Lechon, Moro rice, plantain puree, and sour orange jus. The lechon was everything you want a lechon to be, succulent , tender and rich with mojo flavor….the only thing it was missing was that crispy skin lechon is known for. The Moro rice was cooked well and had a good amount of black bean, but paired with plantain puree it was a dream. For dessert I finish the night with Nixtamalized Papya with in season papaya, roasted strawberry raspado, and plantain skin cajeta. This was the most unique dessert I have had in a while, it was surprisingly great

   Reserve wine pairing may have been over-valued but presentations were too rushed to be sure. All of the courses were rushed. The server was very blasé and insincere and poured water like a 4-year-old. He spilled water on the table and on the floor and did not attempt to wipe it up. There was a large piece of tendon or fascia (about 1 inch x 1 inch) in my beef ravioli and I attempted to discretely spit it into my napkin and set aside and of course the only seemingly attentive server noticed my napkin, picked it up, shook out the food onto the floor, and folded my napkin very nicely and set it back on the table beside me. The ambiance was a roaring din because of the amount of people packed in and the volume of the house music. I would have gently mentioned all of this to the owner in the ball cap but he had his back turned with his hind end 2 feet from my face while he spent quite a bit of time entertaining the table beside ours.

   Rooster & the Till is a hidden gem! From the outside, it’s unassuming, but inside, it’s a beautifully designed space with a classy, intimate atmosphere. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and seamless. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and packed with incredible flavors. While it’s on the pricier side, the quality absolutely justifies it. A truly impressive dining experience!

    Rooster & The Till gets a five star rating for presentation of food; I’m sorry to say the food is underwhelming and very much over priced.
