The Roosevelt

Went in for dinner this past evening and it was quite a wonderful experience. The place has some real vintage vibes and feels to it, almost like stepping back in time, but enjoying a plate of New American Southern fare. The dim lights and dark colours of the atmosphere make it a relaxing environment.the food was very delightful as well. Their menu is constantly rotating but as for what I ordered.... A 🍸 called the Criterion Collection, which I picked because that is a fabulous collection of movies. The buttermilk fried 🐷👂 appetizer which was unique and vibrant in its taste, which reminded me of fried shoestring onions. For the main course it was the fried catfish served stop butter rice and smokey 🥓 🍅 gravy with a side of black eyed peas and 🧄 confit. And lastly, for desert, an 🍎 cider che

Fantastic dining experience. Everything from the craft cocktail to the appetizers to the entree had my taste buds doing a dance. Would definitely recommend and suggest securing reservations.

Came for a quick improvised dinner, sat in the bar and had a GREAT time. Good drinks, solid food, super service. Will definitely come back. UPDATE: went for the third time and will definitely go a fourth. 2026 UPDATE: new menu, looking forward to check a lot of the new plates, they look amazing

Delicious and creative dishes, and fantastic service from Kat! I have celiac, and this is a great place to dine safely. Tons of gluten-free options. I had the beef tartar with mini potatoes, and an apple salad with persimmon butter. I can’t wait to return!

Everything about this experience was amazing. Our server was knowledgeable and kind, the drinks were tasty, and the food was amazing. We got the brisket stuffed peppers, cornbread, catfish, and boudin. I will 10000% be back and I will be bringing all my out of RVA friends. There's a reason this restaurant is talked about!
