Here we go again with another restaurant week experience, as I went on November 17th at around 6 pm with another dinner guest. Really have not had a better experience than this one, and the serivce and food were impeccable. Highly, highly, highly recommend sitting down to enjoying the food here. My favorite part of this meal was the collards as well as the potato salad!
I had a great experience here, my brown butter salmon was delicious. I think I can be pretty weird sometimes but when a woman stormed in with 2 bags of breast implants during our dinner and set up shop next to us for a sales pitch with a surgeon, it was both odd and also that feeling when you can’t look away. FWIW, most amusing/dramatic dinner in a long time. I thought pharma reps met in doctor’s offices but the Roosevelt must be THE place to close deals. I’ve been here three times and never had less than a stellar experience. 💥
Stopped by to explore The Roosevelt's specials for Duke's Hot Tomato Summer - 100% recommend! The Chef clearly knows how to embrace and spotlight the humble tomato, in many innovative and delicious forms. The specials will change throughout the week! Should I go every day??? Probably!
Pleasantly old fashioned, this small but bold restaurant is nestled in a quaint neighborhood area. Parking was tough, but a few times around the block found me a small spot. Reservations are a must, but even that had me waiting an extra half an hour for a table. I couldn't complain though, as dish after dish off the most wonderfully smelling food passed me by. It was hot and tight and the staff was at a feverish pace, busting tables and serving food. The bar tender had a constant rhythm in the background mixing drinks for the nightly patrons. I sat, enjoyed a drink and just took it all in. At my table I enjoyed a cornbread unlike I had ever had. Pie form, it just crumbled at the slightest touch. Coupled with the butter it was the perfect match. Got the catfish after asking between that or the hen. I. Was. Not. Disappointed. If your in the area, make sure you make this a stop. It is quality, quantity and perfection on a plate.
Great step above just casual. Well designed interior, high ceilings, large windows, and simply delicious flavors from the cocktails, to starters, to entrees, to desserts. Most of the flavors tend more to the savory than sweet (not all but most). Great vibe and service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.
We've been going since we used to live in Church Hill in 2020. We started by picking up their to-go chicken sandwiches they were offering once a week during the covid lock down. Ever since then we've been hooked and regular customers. Every member of the staff is welcoming and awesome to talk to. Chef Leah's dishes are unbelievable and the entire kitchen staff puts so much care into each dish. The bartenders are the best in the city, hands down. More knowledgable than any other bartender and will bend over backwards to accommodate anyone in the restaurant. If you can't tell, this is my favorite restaurant in Richmond and one I recommend to anyone when the topic of dinner or drinks comes up.
Outstanding meal and experience. Our first visit was fantastic. The pate a choux "gnocchi" were delicious and a novel way to do a familiar dish. Fresh spring peas and cheese sauce, that's spring!
The entire meal was magical! Seared scallops were perfectly cooked and delicious. The Wild Mushroom entree was a combination of exotic mushrooms sautéed in wine and butter. The pork butt entree was a generous portion of tender pork with cracklins, collard greens, and potato salad - every bit was delicious! Then. Dessert. A special dessert of corn pudding with a handcrafted jam of blueberries and red currants was ah-mazing. The fresh peaches were simply perfect. The panna cotta was topped with caramel popcorn - so fun and delicious! And the finger lime topping on the key lime icebox cake was like an explosion of lime pop rockets in my mouth and was the BEST.
Well seasoned and executed, beautifully composed food in a relaxed but refined atmosphere, plus great service. They were gracious and accommodating with my time constraints for the meal. Caprese cocktail was great. Will return.
I can easily say that the Roosevelt is one of the best restaurants on the east coast. The staff is so professional yet easygoing and personable. The food is made with fresh ingredients and so much love. The bar and dining room are small but cozy and nicely decorated. This place has everything to make your visit memorable. Thank you, the Roosevelt team!
