Fountain Lounge

Our experience is the Fountain Lounge has more a restaurant vibe with music and a bar than a lounge. The cocktails are very good but I felt the food seems more the reason people come. The food is also very good with a fairly wide selection. The service was good and we really enjoyed the piano player in the evening. Slightly less formal than the Sazerac bar but still a lot of fun and good food.

One of my favorite locations for breakfast is at The Fountain Lounge at The Roosevelt. I am a frequent visitor to the hotel, and every time I stay, I eat at The Fountain Lounge. I always request to be seated in Glen’s area because he is by far the best waiter I have experienced. He knows what I want to order without having to ask, and he is always attentive and ensures my experience is better than the time before. My last visit was for a birthday, and he catered to the whole table. He ensured everyone was satisfied with their order, and he went above and beyond for each person in the party. He is very professional, and I commend him for his dedication and awesome customer service. If a breakfast item on the buffet is not fresh, I just inform Glen, and he corrects it immediately. The food is always great, and the omelet bar is very good. There are several options at the omelet bar, and each omelet is prepared based on the customers selections. Also, I recommend the shrimp and grits located near the omelet bar. It is seasoned well, and gives you an authentic creole experience. I would highly recommend the restaurant. Even if you can not make it for breakfast, they reopen at 5 for dinner, and the dinner is good as well. I’ve never had a bad experience, and I have been well over 20 times for breakfast and dinner. Also, ask for Glen, but if he’s not available, I know the others will be just as great. They are all very professional.

We went to the Fountain Lounge for lunch on Christmas. We got the Beignets, the garden omelet, and the crawfish and tasso ham omelet. The food was delicious. We did have a minor issue with food. Our order was taken, but my orange juice, my fruit cup, and my husband's bacon weren't served to us. After letting our server know it was brought right out. Food and atmosphere wise I would highly recommended.
