The Roosevelt

"As many of the old Richmond staple restaurants are closing their doors (Mama Zu, Comfort, etc), I feel like The Roosevelt has become one of the quintessential Richmond flagship restaurants. It's now 10+ years old. We were there last week. The quality of food is still excellent. The restaurant is still beautiful. The service is still outstanding. We showed up without a reservation and they were able to squeeze us in. Best catfish I have ever had. My wife's scallops were perfect. We also had the pate and tartare as appetizers and they were outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough, without being overbearing. The bartenders were busy but got to us quickly. Keep doing great things, y'all!"

"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!"

"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!"

"Immediately no. Everything was mediocre. And if not mediocre- it was bad. The menu reads (and is priced) like it has been nominated for something. The food "looks" good. Well some of it. The gumbo, not so much. But no. To start, the corn bread was DRY as I don't know what. Wings were cooked well. But the Alabama sauce did little for them. Every dish was just a salt bomb- very little flavor. The service was s-l-o-w. Dessert... we got the tahini brownie, ALSO dry. Just see the pictures. Richmond has better options"
