| - First off, I have to admit most of the times I have been here is on First Fridays, which is why it gets four stars. Not that it is their fault that it is so ridiculously crowded that you can hardly walk through the place and not be in someones way, but, maybe they could make it more accommodating.
If I could enjoy their drinks and food without having to worm my way through way too many people and stalk a table or counter or any place to sit and enjoy my food, it would be perfect.
The ambiance is nice, a little dark, hardwood floors, the refurbished house is hip and well-done. Music is piped into every room and the volume is just a little too high. There is a wooden deck out back if you want to smoke.
The beer and wine list is great. I have yet to have something I didn't like. The micro-brew and local beers are rich and tasty, served ice cold. The food is absolutely amazing, possibly the best grilled cheese and tomato soup on the planet and the honeymooner is incredible, as is the cheese plate.
So if you don' mind being elbow to elbow with the psuedo-hip artsy fartsy new bohemians, The Roosevelt is well worth it. Better yet, go on an off day, like a Tuesday for better luck. The beer, wine and food will not disappoint.
