PK’s Roosevelt Room -Food CA (Near St. Augustine)

4 /5 Surayyo Ismatullayeva: The food was very tasty, the atmosphere was good, but we were a little dissatisfied with the service. They absolutely dont know how to make a proper latte. We werent even offered water, and when we wanted to ask, they didnt even come up to us. We came with friends and wanted to pay everything by card and leave a tip in cash, but the waitress accidentally made a mistake and withdrew money incorrectly, and also added tips to online payments herself, and we unknowingly left tips cash, and then saw them on the card. I wanted to ask you to be more careful in such things. Our bill came to $135 and we left a $50 tip. I wouldnt be writing this if the waiters were so great. Thats why I gave 1 for service. Sorry for the negativity Thank you.

5 /5 Matthew Garrepy: Teddy Roosevelt’s moustache would twist in delight this daring cuisine. PK’s Roosevelt Room is a “presidential” offering within the pantheon of fantastic food haunts in St. Augustine, Florida - and a gastronomic gem worthy of your vote. This quaint spot is located on the eclectic and charming St. George Street, considered the cultural epicenter of the Ancient City. And while the decor (stamped ceilings and Victorian nods) evokes a by-gone era, it’s anything but old. The chef has elevated brunch to a fresh level, adding a zig where other zag. With so many intriguing options, we attacked the menu like a three-course meal. Start with the tomato soup, which features grilled cheese croutons. Or devour the salmon board with fried capers. Delectable. For the “entree,” you have to try the Sweater Weather - a sublime seasonal concoction with pumpkin spice bacon and a sweet hollandaise. The home made bread knocks it out of the park. I also recommend the quiche. Dessert - if that’s what you prefer to call it - came as the signature brûlée French toast, which is simply unmatched. The carmelized crunch meets the soft, comforting bread with pure ecstasy, and your mouth will thank you for it. They also make amazing waffles; we tried the chocolate s’more with a homemade marshmallow and graham cracker center - a total slam dunk for your tastebuds. There’s a great bar, and I might suggest you sit and chat with Jeanne, who was incredibly kind and knew her way around the menu. She also mixed some solid cranberry apple mimosas and cafe con leches to keep us properly hydrated. Roosevelt’s is a no rez scene, so things can get busy. I suggest a weekday jaunt if your schedule permits. It’s owned by the Prohibition Kitchen (located next door), and that’s another great spot to hit. Oh, if you have a special event (reception, party, etc.), this place is dynamite. They transform it into a long table for a large guest list - it ends up looking very sheik. Check the Instagram for photos. Parking is a bear in St. Augustine, so give yourself time and the feed the meter. But don’t be a Rough Rider and miss Teddy’s namesake - this might be the best brunch you’ve ever had.

5 /5 Michelle Ciliberti: We came in without a reservation so had a bit of a wait and when we sat down it was still about 10 mins before having anyone come up to us. Though it was New Years Day. But we waited and SO worth it. The host Tommy and our servicer Clark took such good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. We also got the crab cakes for an appetizer and they were great! More crab than bread! The lamb melted off the bone and was delicious in even the smallest bites. The fresh grouper was light yet so tasty. The combination of the sides enhanced the flavor! Must try!

5 /5 REX SCOTT: PK’s ROOSEVELT ROOM, ST. AUGUSTINE’S ANSWER FOR IF YOU ONLY HAD 1 CHANCE TO BRUNCH OUR CITY, RANDI IS THE BEST SERVER With only 1 day in St. Augustine for Brunch, we did the research & came up with PK’s Roosevelt Room. Our server Randi did a fabulous job & we never felt rushed & was always present. We enjoyed Monte Cristo & Corned Beef & Potatoes dishes. I always have grits wherever we go. It’s fun to try as each place always has its own unique way of making their grits. The PK’s Cheddar Grits were stone ground & very flavorful. Cheddar Cheese (yum). I added extra butter just because. On a side note, the potatoes were crunchy on the outside & nice & tasty on the inside. Order a dish with these or as a side. You’ll be glad you did. Who has a draft beer with their Brunch? Me! It was a great local selection. The Mrs. had the Orange Juice Mimosa which was spot on & came with a beautiful floating flower.

5 /5 Danielle J. Edwards: Worth the wait. The vibe is relaxed and charming, with Bridgerton-style classical music and beautiful crystal antiques throughout. The food was so good we ate here two days in a row. We tried the Sweater Weather eggs Benedict, the ham and brie omelet, brisket rancheros, and corned beef with potatoes, every dish was excellent. Kelly, the bartender, was fantastic and added to the overall experience. Gentlemen, take your lady here. You will both love it.
