omg, so good! great music, bouncers opened the cab door for us and we all had a great time last week. Tough getting a cab when you’re leaving though!

Went on a Friday for dinner with a group of 6.
Venue: 3.5/5 (didn’t live up to all the hype)
Food: 3/5 (small portions, average food)
Service: 3.5/5 (slow, even though it wasn’t busy)
Overall experience, value for your money: mediocre at best.

Will not visit again.

I will summarize this club in few words: Rude stuff, over priced drinks, and lousy DJ. You will get more value for your money somewhere else :)

This place is getting killed by negative reviews all over the place. The Star is the latest to blast them http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/restaurants/article/742059–roosevelt-room-is-a-banal-take-on-roaring-20s

Just went to the Roosevelt Room for a Christmas function. I had read the negative reviews posted prior to the visit but wanted to keep an open mind because in theory, I liked the concept.

Well…

It didn’t take long before the reviews I had read all manifested. The food was terrible. I’ll explain it like this; Salads were warm, entrees were cold.

The servers were all the usual pretentious Toronto types with the bad attitude and general apathy towards paying customers.

This is just another sub-par Toronto venue with sub-par service and food. Do not be mislead by the “romance” the idea presents. The Roosevelt room is a lot like the Overlook Hotel if you know what I mean.

Tried getting into Roosevelt Room last night for a birthday. The bouncers are straight out arrogant pr!cks. Not only did we call in multiple times and received confirmation for our guest lists, but we also waited outside like everyone else in the cold trying to get in and were still denied entry.

I knew some others who were inside already and they said it wasn’t anything special. Think the novelty of this ‘new’ place will wear off quickly and the true colours of this business will be begin to show on the top line of O’Brien’s financials.

Disclaimer: We had more women then men, we weren’t rude or out of line. I’m not new to the club scene and know how this works. We were all in front waiting before our guest list expiry time.

Not going back, wouldn’t recommend the place to others.

Made it to The Roosevelt Room on Tuesday and it was excellent! Not a single complaint from our party of four. Everything was great, from the service, to the delicious food, to the design. And the place was well over half capacity…on a Tuesday! Not bad at all for such a new restaurant. In fact, most restaurants I patronize on a Tuesday (or just look inside as I’m passing by) aren’t usually this full. The value was definitely there too.

Shocker, your sarcastic apology shows your immaturity. You know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Your comments that TRR will fail are speculative and your review is subjective. You had already decided it won’t work before you even went. You HAD to dislike it. An insecure no-it-all like you would rather be disemboweled than eat his words. You were inherently unable to be objective, making your opinion meaningless. Next time, do yourself a favour; try to be a little more positive and first ATTEND the new establishment before forming your negative opinion. You might surprise yourself. You might even enjoy some time during the course of your miserable, petty existence.

The Roosevelt Room is elegant and cozy. The food is superb.
Me and my friends will visit this club again ad infinitum.
Thanks Roosevelt Room and good luck!

I am sorry everyone.
It is true, I have no friends.

I was looking to see the buzz on RR, but instead found some angry little fella who apparently whittles away his time on the interweb instead of working. He attributes his ability to do this to his “flexible” boss. Well kudos to you, your mother must be so proud of this situation you fell into.

There are only two reasons I can think of where a boss would be so “flexible” to let you piss away your day on a 10,000 word treatise.

The first is that you are sooooo fking unimportant that it isn’t worth his time to watch over you. You are at the bottom of the bottom tier of a bottom level organization. And your boss, afterall, has more important things to do with his time. Like clean the grease trap.

The second would be if you worked your ass off on Bay street and started his own effin’ bank in your late twenties, and are so filthy rich now you can do what you want. Given that you seem to have all this time on your hands to tweet away your day and make zero dollars for your boss, this seems very unlikely. Also, that description would also make you Jeff O’Brien.

Don’t take this personally. I hope we can be friends… really. We should be friends. I even have a rad name just like you.

Regardless of the outcome of the Roosevelt Room, I thoroughly enjoyed all of the above banter.

Hey, if it doesn’t pan out, who cares?

Let’s not get our (NY) knickers in a knot here folks! :)

Shocker, you’re worth your weight in (Dep hair gel) in gold. You’re too much…
