Reviews for The Roosevelt in Richmond, VA
A tasty, memorable meal in Richmond, fortunately, is not hard to come by. Attentive, personal service and an excitement to... create -- on the fly -- a non-alcoholic drink and even a dessert without a trace of alcohol is rare. The tall cocktail is acitrus and hot pepper drink, and the dessert -- created just for the birthday guy -- features a watermelon gremolata and freshfigs, grapes, and cherries with honey. Thank you, chef Leah Branch, mixologist Eli Dwyer, and server extraordinaire Tegan P.,for an unforgettable experience! Read more
I went here with my father and son recently. Hadn't been in a long time. We had an excellent meal. This restaurant is a true... supporter of the fresh local food movement and a patron of my farm. The chef described the cuisine to me once as "fun Southern". I'd agree. Nice craft cocktail menu. Read more
Porkchops were perfect and the wife had the scallops. No complaints, good experience overall. We had no reservations but were... seated immediately. Read more
A nice casual-fancy quaint restaurant with incredible staff. I ate here for the first time and am very pleased. Our server was... truly perfect, made great recommendations when asked, came by the table the right amount at the right times, and was generallyvery prompt and friendly. They also treated us well as we had a birthday, bringing a dessert out with a candle that matched theperson's dress. (I only hope it was intentional) The plating was beautiful and the food tasted great, I recommend the scallops.The only reason I give it four stars is due to the two appetizers that we got. They weren't bad by any stretch, but were very,very average. I would give 4.5 stars, if I could. Read more
Tonight was my second time going to The Roosevelt and I have to say it’s my new favorite restaurant. We did not have... reservations but were able to find seats at the bar. Our bartender was Zach and the other bartender was Jackie. Both of them areABSOLUTELY fantastic. Personable, attentive, and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough good things about both of them. On top ofthe amazing service the food is amazing. We only got appetizer but every appetizer we got was phenomenal. We got adventurous perthe recommendation of Zach and tried the frog legs. So so good. The atmosphere in this place is great. The food is excellent andthe service is top notch. My husband said it’s his new favorite place and wished we lived closer. I’m only thankful wedon’t because I’d be broke eventually lol. But y’all…you need to go here! Read more

This meal was delicious from start to finish. We ordered many of the small plates and honestly found it difficult to determine a... favorite. The unique, explosive flavor combinations were very impressive. Our service was great and the cocktails weren't toobad either. Read more
Perfect date night restaurant. Located in Richmond's historic Church Hill this unassuming little restaurant delivers on... atmosphere, food and drinks. It is a small space so I recommend reservations. Food was delicious. We shared the cornbreadappetizer and then got gumbo and steak. Everything we are was cooked perfectly. The menu changes fairly regularly so we arelooking forward to returning to try new options. The cocktail menu is well curated with fun options for a special night out. Ourserver was friendly and knowledgeable and helped us make sure we avoided food allergies (nut allergy). Excited to return for afuture date night. Read more
