by Ryder M. on This is the place for dinner and jazz if you aren't looking to spend $100/person. I like that they have jazz every night and every band I have heard has been very good. It is a spacious place so if you are there just for the music you can sit feet away from the band or if you are trying to have conversation there is enough room to move to a quieter area and just have background music. The prices are what really won it over as the kind of place I return to since most entrees are under $20 and good portions. This is also in the Jazz district of Fillmore so it's a good alternative to the expensive, super highend Yoshi's a block away with equally good music. The food alone was nothing outstanding but I do not particularly like Ethiopian anyway but they also offer bar food for my kind. The service is the only thing I am deducting a star for as they seem to be understaffed so were slow on food service, getting drinks, and bringing the check but the waitress was very nice.
by Kayleen Cockran on There are 3 parts to the Roosevelt: Tropicana Bar: poolside, cool atmosphere that could remind me of Miami, could be the priciest drinks in LA. Hotel lounge/bar: Good vibes for a hotel bar, feels like real Hollywood. Teddy's nightclub: n/a, because I'm not a celebrity and I don't have outrageous breasts.
