    Every single visit, you can expect outstanding service, attention to detail, beautiful presentation, and quality drinks! I recommend the Roosevelt to out of town guests, work colleagues, clients, and neighbors. When you get a chance, make your registration and experience it for yourself. I also highly recommend taking one of their cocktails classes throughout the year. I learn something every time. Cheers to Justin and his stellar crew!!

    It was a fun and delicious time as always. They were able to accommodate expanding our reservation size from 9 to 12 people and it absolutely made our night! Can not recommend enough.

    We were sat at a very small table which felt like sitting in an economy seat in an airplane, but when we asked the server to move us to a bigger table, they did. It would have been nicer if they offered a spacious option from the beginning. Everything else was good

    We wanted a date night that was chill and involved fun cocktails so this was perfect. Purposely went early. The place was perfect. Loved sitting at the bar and watching the amazing beautiful drinks the bartender was creating. Our drinks were great and just the right size so we could have 2 different ones and not feel over served. And we could have a convo and not be yelling . We will be back.

    We make it a point to visit the Roosevelt Room every few months - do we spend a small fortune on drinks? Yes. Do we enjoy talking to the bartenders at the pass? Yes. Do we discuss the ins and outs of the trade as laymen? Yes. Is every sip expertly created??Absolutely. The people, atmosphere, and working our way across the classic cocktails keeps us coming back again and again.

    Took my wife here for after dinner drinks; this was a very posh setting, and the ambiance harkens to the modern take on the prohibition era as the photos will elude to. It's loud but not too loud; we were able to have a conversation, albeit on the noisier side, but still intimate enough to bring that special someone. The drinks were great; I tried the classics and their takes on the classics. It was very well balanced, and their takes on them were well done, enough to know it's a classic but with a very unique touch. Where you know it's a classic, but something else is there to make you wonder how they could play with the flavors but make it unique. Service was friendly and attentive, and drinks came out fairly quickly given the number of people, and it's a cocktail bar! Just be prepared to pay a pretty penny; the drinks add up quickly as you can enjoy several given on how fantastic they tasted.
