   Really disappointed with our meal last night. Took nearly hour for our food to be served and both our medium rare steaks that were ordered arrived were well done :(

   Love this place! Atmosphere, drinks, food and staff. The weekend roast is so the best in town, everyone should try it. Hidden gem, you so will not be disappointed when you visit.

   Great drinks but the staff were all over the place, I booked in advanced and booked a proper table. The staff stuffed up the order and made us sit on the high chairs which wasn’t easy if your short. They could be more organised

   We had a great night at The Roosevelt. Although the food menu is small, everyone was happy and food very good. Extensive Whisky menu and great cocktails. Loved the Bar presentation happening around us. Fun night out.

    Fabulous cocktails and wine menu with a very simple food menu. The service and comfort is outstanding. I really enjoyed the ambiance as it wasn’t too loud, cool retro music and soft lighting. The table service for everything is a treat and we never waited long for service. Very shmick!

    Come for the drinks! Menu states items that don't actually come with the dish and 2 dishes weren't available. Food isn't the greatest and we noticed most punters around us were not eating, only drinking

    I've been trying to find the perfect blazer for a number of years and the Roosevelt hit the spot perfectly. Great ambience, stylish, cool and relaxed with attentive service. Feel free to dress up and enjoy the prohibition vibe.

    Atmosphere and cocktail service fantastic. But the food was fair at best - eg. undercooked vegetables, overcooked sous vide. Plus 2 of our party of 5 waited an extra 20 minutes or so after the other 3 for their meals to arrive. We ate very well there a few months back. So we presume they've changed chefs or the chef was having a very bad night. We won't be eating there again for a few months. But we will definitely keep returning for drinks.

    It was very nice however I was standing waiting to be seated for a very long time >5min with no acknowledgement from staff even after catching a few of their eyes as they walked directly past, also with another group behind me waiting as well.

    Gorgeous venue. Extensive drinks menu. Took a long time to take our order and receive our drinks. Seemed to be short staffed. Some of the food was great. Sirloin was very average - fatty, bland and boring. Expect a lot more for the price. If you just want drinks, awesome options. Food was meh and overpriced.

    Sat down at 5 and nobody came to take our order. I had to go up at 5:20 as I was unsure if it was table service or not. We then had to wait a further 20 minutes for our drink. Staff were absolutely not in a rush to serve at all. Drinks ok, not as good as the Baxter Inn. I would recommend there instead if you’re looking for a similar vibe; but with better service and cocktails.

    Great venue in the middle of Potts Point. Unfortunately they were under-staffed on the evening my wife and I were there which dampened the experience. It took 15 minutes of hand raising (took me back to my school days) to get staff attention to take our order and almost 60 minutes to get our entree of grilled king prawns. The entree and main meals were delivered all at the same time which was disappointing but what can you say when you are quite hungry by that time. I have to say that the poor staff were very apologetic and sincere a number of times and one young lady and young man, both excellent, were still saying sorry when new were leaving. We felt sorry for them as they had not been properly supported by the owners/managers on the evening. The message for the owners is this. We also own a business and we know how hard it is to get good staff these days. If you don't support them and staff up to suit the business each day but rather place them in a no-win situation with customers then you will lose them and your customers are unlikely to recommend your establishment to others. Your staff should not have to apologise for the things that are not within their control. Yes there are always excuses, however actions speak far louder. Please consider.

    Ceviche was drowned in lemon juice and didn’t taste of anything other than that. Salmon had been completely “cooked” by it. Prawns were fine but nothing special. Same with steaks and lamb. Steaks were more medium than medium rare and lamb was a little dry. Great ambience, lovely (but quite slow) service but wouldn’t return due to the food.

    We ordered bar food but they never turned up, we specifically went for the experience with our friends from Melbourne for the Dry Ice Cocktail! But was told only one of us could have that for they were short staffed, very disappointed especially we had booked our table for four. It was very disappointing, for we were so looking forward to show our Melbourne Friends we can put a good show on with cocktails!
