Editorial Review for The Roof Restaurant – by Robyn Galbos
The Scene
The dining room is elegant, but patrons are casually dressed and comfortable. The Roof caters to both intimate diners and large groups. And you won't find a better view of Temple Square.
The Food
A buffet menu is served with a dash of refinement. You'll find a mix of hearty salads and a variety of entrees with simple sauces. A carver stands by to serve ham and prime rib. Warm, flaky rolls are brought to the table with honey butter. As for main dishes, make sure to sample a little of everything. Best bets are the ham and prime rib, but be sure to save room for dessert. There's an eye-popping array of sumptuous sweets, including cakes, cobblers, mousses and flan.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkNothing here but soda, herbal teas, hot chocolate and some specialty drinks. Alcohol and coffee are not served due to a lease agreement with the owner of the building--the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Know Before You GoCall ahead to find out what's offered. The buffet menu changes daily according to what's fresh on the market.

The Roof is just one of those restaurants that you must eat at!!! The service was amazing and friendly, I felt like they anticipated my every desire before I even had to ask. The view of course is worth the price alone, not to mention the food! The desserts of course were the best part. As for the other reviews suggesting this restaurant is overated I would have to sincerely disagree. Where else can you get all you can eat gourmet food with excellent service for this price. Reall!!!! When my wife and I eat out at other places like Applebees we are a few bucks shy of spending the same amount! This place really has it all!!!! Not to mention I requested Lamb when I made my reservation and they had it for me, and my wife has several food allergies and the accomodated her every need with specical dishes straight from the chef!! Really they don't make restuarants like this anymore!! You have got to try it!!!
Pros: Ambience food and service...you really get what you pay for!
Cons: Not great to bring the kids along

This is a great place to eat. The prime rib is always perfect. I love the jumbo shrimp and the desserts. The servers are so helpful to recommend some wounderful drinks. They don't serve alcohol, but have some really fun drinks. You need to try their italian soda. Don't miss the chance to listen to a great pianist, enjoy the view, and mmmmmm the food!
Pros: ambiene, service, music, food
Cons: none
