Drew, Ellie and Claire are the best. Good conversation and good people. Recommend Room 38 to everyone as long as you don't take my seat at the end of the bar.

Went out in the storm last night and it was one of the few open. Food was solid. Sweat potato tots were great. Good beer selection and full bar. Love the booths - very private. Waitress was awesome. Definitely a great stop

We had to come here based off the photos and the amazing cockatoo menu they had. The inside was still decorated for Christmas and it was amazing! I ordered the Raspberry Collins and the Strawberry Fields and both were absolutely amazing. We asked for recommendations for food and our bartender told us the Jalapeño Crab Rangoon Dip was a must try and he was right. Amazing drinks, fantastic service and amazing ambiance.

Room 38 is the best brunch place in town! Bottlomless mimosas on the weekends. I always get the candied burger and it's always delicious. Their fries are also very good. I got the lobster bisque for the first time and it was also very good. They have an upscale type feeling inside and a really cute brunch type patio that's really cute for pictures outside. The waiters and bartenders are always great as well!

Came in between movies during the True False Film Festival. Ordered the delicious Crab Rangoon dip. Loved the mango jalapeño mojito, the Chocolate Espresso and the Darkside of the Moon-Shine Sour. We also really loved the candied bacon on the salmon burger and the burger! Service was attentive and gave great suggestions.

Food was good! Loved the Brussels sprouts, truffle fries & the pretzel bites. Pomergeante cosmo martini was great too! I had the candied bacon burger and it was good. Came with sweet potatie frues. All in all it was a nice experience. Our waitress Armani was very attentive. Service was good considering it was a graduation weekend.
