My friends and I were visiting NJ area from NY and saw the reviews for this restaurant and decided to give it a try. We arrived and found parking right away across the street. We were seated in the speakeasy area of the restaurant. Very cool. Out waiter was super attentive and friendly. We ordered the calamari and white wine muscles for appetizers. 2 of my friends got burgers which they both enjoyed, and my husband and I shared the skirt steak which was delicious. Their truffle fries are excellent, and they sang happy birthday for my friends birthday. We tried their lava cake for desert which was a special and it was rich and delicious. For 3 entrees, 2 appetizers and 4 sodas it was under $150. The food truly was spectacular along with the service. Highly recommend.
I had my graduation party at Lucy's Parlor at The Roosevelt. It was perfect! Everyone loved walking through the bookshelf into the speakeasy! All my guests raved about the food. Multiple people even went up for thirds. People complimented the bartender, Nick, on how good he was and how receptive he was throughout the party. The bus person was so quick and attentive. Ally and the owners were so kind and accommodating. I'm so glad I chose to have my party here. The price was extremely fair, especially for this area. You will definitely get your money's worth. Highly recommend and would have my party here again!
We recently had a work holiday in the private party room and it was a great experience. Sorayda, the party manager was great and made arranging the party very easy! She took care of all of the details. The night started with passed appetizers. The staff that was going around with them was very very friendly and there was more than enough. The appetizers were elevated and delicious- and it was one of the best cocktail hours we’ve ever had. After that, we had a sit down buffet dinner that was equally delicious. We were able to control the music and play our favorite songs. The space was great- and very private- that we didn’t feel at all that we were in a restaurant (although the restaurant itself is also great!) As great as the food was- the real star of the show was Brian, our bartender. He was amazing behind the bar, managing all of our drinks, and even running upstairs and grabbing High Noons. Overall, we had a great experience with the Roosevelt and we would highly recommend it for private parties.
Hosted my sister’s 40th surprise birthday here in Lucy’s parlor with the help of Keith and the amazing staff. The speakeasy was the perfect vibe and the service from pre-planning to day of coordination was smooth. Not to mention our bartender, Nick, made the best drinks! Highly recommend!
I hosted my husband’s surprise birthday party at The Roosevelt, and it was amazing! The staff was so kind and helpful from start to finish. The food and drinks were delicious, and the whole vibe of the place was perfect for a celebration. A special shoutout to Ale, who greeted us and somehow managed not to give away the surprise — she was the best! And thank you to Keith, the owner, for being so accommodating and making sure everything was perfect. Everyone had such a great time, and the team made sure the night went smoothly. We’ll definitely be back for another event!
My husband and I threw his 55th Birthday at The Roosevelt earlier this month. With very little notice, Keith, Alli, and the staff helped make this night extra special & allow us to host about 35 people in the bar area. Alli helped with the menu selections and everyone loved each dish! The DJ of the night was DJ Joey G who had everyone dancing, including other people not in the party! They heard the music and enjoyed the party too! Alli and the servers and bartenders all made sure everyone was taken care of, from our older guests to the birthday boy. We appreciated everything and definitely recommend this venue!
I had an incredible first experience at the Roosevelt largely thanks to the bartender this past Friday evening. Their attention to detail and accommodating demeanor was a great impact. He is a true asset to this establishment. I started off with the mussels in marinara which was absolutely delicious that I requested for more bread to clean the sauce off the plate lol. The halibut was superb and the burger was delicious. The establishments ambiance has a vibrant vibe. Every corner of it is instagram worthy lol. The chic decor makes this place a visual delight. They have an outdoor seating as well.
We hosted my 50th birthday party in the speakeasy downstairs at the Roosevelt! It was one of the most perfect nights I can ever remember. The bartending staff was fantastic, making all of our guests any cocktail that they wished for! The food was spectacular, and the staff was superb! Following the private party, we went upstairs where there was a DJ and continued the festivities! Everyone at the party had a magnificent time and we will definitely be back. I would highly recommend the Roosevelt.
Last weekend I had my engagement party here and it was amazing! Pricing was top tier for what we got! And my guest raved about the food! Both managers were so attentive and helpful throughout the entire process! They even made sure my parents were having a good time! I recommend this to all! Thank you again The Roosevelt for making our dreams come true 🤍
Stopped by The Roosevelt today for happy hour and it did not disappoint. Lots of great options and very reasonable prices. The food was delicious, the oysters were fresh, the tuna tartare was amazing, and the pie we ordered was incredible. The drinks were also on point.The bartender was super friendly, welcoming, and gave us some great recommendations, which made the experience even better. Overall, we had a great visit and I’m really glad this spot is so close to home. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend checking it out!
