    The service was outstanding! Our attendee was close by, attentive and ready to do anything necessary to make our evening delightful and issue free. As far as I could see, the same service was being received by the other guests too. The food quality was excellent with very tasty steak (I personally had a fillet) and succulent chicken (my partner's dish). Faultless is perhaps the word I would use to describe the evening. Good food, a buzzing atmosphere, and great service. No more to be said, thank you Red Ash.

    Best vesper martini we’ve ever had in our life. You can tell there is skill and how they make the cocktails that’s different from anywhere else. Also my clover club was on point and excellent . Hands-down will be Uber in there and getting cocktails pre-dinner and will take my friends there for sure just because they offer the highest quality of classic cocktails. There’s no riff on it. It’s just perfect classic cocktails . parking around that area gets a little bit shady and it’s difficult unless you come early, I can snag a street spot in front. I don’t like walking around there by myself late at night when I’m a lady, but that’s not the Roosevelt room‘s fault.
