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

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!

Outstanding meal and experience. Our first visit was fantastic. The pate a choux “gnocchi” were delicious and a novel way to do a familiar dish. Fresh spring peas and cheese sauce, that’s spring!

Well seasoned and executed, beautifully composed food in a relaxed but refined atmosphere, plus great service. They were gracious and accommodating with my time constraints for the meal. Caprese cocktail was great. Will return.

Great step above just casual. Well designed interior, high ceilings, large windows, and simply delicious flavors from the cocktails, to starters, to entrees, to desserts. Most of the flavors tend more to the savory than sweet (not all but most). Great vibe and service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great cocktails. Many of them seemed to be focused on mezcal and smokiness, which I loved. My wife doesn’t enjoy that as much but was able to find drinks that she really enjoyed as well.

Pleasantly old fashioned, this small but bold restaurant is nestled in a quaint neighborhood area. Parking was tough, but a few times around the block found me a small spot. Reservations are a must, but even that had me waiting an extra half an hour for a table. I couldn’t complain though, as dish after dish off the most wonderfully smelling food passed me by. It was hot and tight and the staff was at a feverish pace, busting tables and serving food. The bar tender had a constant rhythm in the background mixing drinks for the nightly patrons. I sat, enjoyed a drink and just took it all in. At my table I enjoyed a cornbread unlike I had ever had. Pie form, it just crumbled at the slightest touch. Coupled with the butter it was the perfect match. Got the catfish after asking between that or the hen. I. Was. Not. Disappointed. If your in the area, make sure you make this a stop. It is quality, quantity and perfection on a plate.

Fancy casual spot – you could dress up but I also saw people in jeans. Very swanky interior and love the menu options. Some dishes hit the spot, while others were a total miss or just OK.

The entire meal was magical! Seared scallops were perfectly cooked and delicious. The Wild Mushroom entree was a combination of exotic mushrooms sautéed in wine and butter. The pork butt entree was a generous portion of tender pork with cracklins, collard greens, and potato salad – every bit was delicious! Then. Dessert. A special dessert of corn pudding with a handcrafted jam of blueberries and red currants was ah-mazing. The fresh peaches were simply perfect. The panna cotta was topped with caramel popcorn – so fun and delicious! And the finger lime topping on the key lime icebox cake was like an explosion of lime pop rockets in my mouth and was the BEST.

I ordered the Wild Mushrooms with pulled bacon, roasted garlic purée, and root vegetable hash and it was phenomenal! The Sweet Tea Watermelon starter was another must have! My mom ordered the fried catfish with tomato gravy and it was also amazing. Wish I was going to be here longer so I could go back and try something else because everything was so GOOD! The prices are expensive for some of the items. Our meals were $20 each plus we had the starter and two drinks. Our total was around $100.
