The Roosevelt
Richmond, Virginia
It's fitting that a restaurant named after one of the country's great political families would be located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in the state. Opened in July 2011, The Roosevelt has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best spots in Richmond. Set in a small building in Church Hill, this neighborhood restaurant's menu focuses on modern takes of traditional Southern food — think fried chicken biscuits for brunch and North Carolina trout for dinner — and also features a lengthy list of all-Virginian wines, as well as craft beers and a number of both original and classic cocktails, including the signature Seersucker — a mix of Maker's Mark, sweet tea syrup, bitters, and charred lemon.
