I swung by The Roosevelt recently for the first time. I totally dug it. First of all, I love the little brick house. The structure, the exposed brick and the decor give it a great vibe.
They had some great beer on tap - I tried the house brew which I believe is a Four Peaks? It was great.
Then I struggled with my order. I need to try the grilled cheese and tomato soup as I've heard such great things about it. Instead I got the chorizo and manchego cheese over toast. Not bad. I probably would have been in love with it if the toast were actually toasty. It seemed much more than toast. I also had the dates wrapped in bacon and stuffed with Parmigiano-Reggiano. These were ridiculous. Amazing flavors, rich, yummy. I'd be ecstatic with a couple orders of these and the house beer.
I definitely need to go back soon and try the grilled cheese and tomato soup and the pretzel as I've heard so much about them.
My first visit definitely made a fan of me though and I will be happy to head back as soon as possible.
