The Roosevelt Room

"Enjoyed a fantastic experience, drinks and wine list reasonably priced for the selection and creativity of the drinks. Started with the short rib dumplings, rich and bold flavor that also went well with the brightness of the second selection of the carpaccio with foie gras mousse, both fantastic. Their bread is warm, crusty and served with a homemade butter…delicious! We were offered an amuse bouche deviled egg topped with caviar…lovely treat. Dinner selections we chose were the seabass with a butternut purée and roasted beets and the halibut, both fish choices were cooked to perfection and the ingredients flavor showed through in every perfect bite. You can order sides but we were so satisfied with the choices as they were and the portions were excellent, did not want to get too full. Service was top notch, it’s refreshing to see the owner and the chef so involved and making their rounds to see each table and ask how everything is. Michael was kind and generous as was his talented chef. Excellent experience and excellent menu. I HIGHLY recommend a visit to the Roosevelt room."

"I had an amazing meal at the Roosevelt Room this past weekend. The spread was amazing and I was very impressed with the attention to detail that went in to every dish that graced our table. The Filet of Atlantic Halibut was exquisite and the calamari was delicious. Our service was terrific and everything came out spot on. I would highly recommend the Roosevelt Room for anyone interested in finer dining options in the area. You will not be disappointed!"

"My husband and I ate at the Roosevelt Room last week and I haven’t stopped raving about it since! First off - the atmosphere is classy and relaxed. The unique design & decor are unlike any other restaurant in the capital district; warm, inviting with hints of Italy. The staff was superb from the host to the servers, the bar staff, the chefs and the owner. They were attentive and knowledgeable of the food giving great recommendations. Watching the chefs work in the kitchen was like watching a fine tuned orchestra. Truly a pleasure to watch them in their craft. We are big “foodie” people and came with high expectations after reviewing the menu online. I can genuinely say they blew us away! You will not find a menu like this ANYWHERE else I promise. They use fresh high quality products and cook it to perfection. We couldn’t find a single thing that could be improved upon. Each table gets a fresh loaf of bread which in itself was delicious but I held back after 1 piece to save room. For appetizers we ordered the Red & Gold beet salad and the Spanish octopus. The owner was kind enough to send us the steak (filet mignon) tartar as well as cucumber carpaccio. The salad has a delicious dressing and the perfect mix to balance out the flavors, the octopus was tender and packed with flavor, the tartar was so chewy and delicious with the perfect sauces to compliment the flavors and the cucumber carpaccio has such a unique taste I couldn’t stop going back for another taste. For our meals we both ordered the filet dinner - mine medium well, his medium. The cook was spot on for each, the potato fondant paired perfectly with the pearl onions but the sauce… the sauce had magic! I used what was left of our bread to soak it all up! The dessert menu had delicious options but unfortunately we were too full. Overall the Roosevelt Room is hands down the best place to eat in the capital district right now. We are hooked and will now be regulars. You have to try it!"
