The Roosevelt opened in Richmond, Virginia, in July 2011, to public and critical acclaim. The Roosevelt was named 2012 Restaurant of the Year by Style Magazine, Best New Restaurant in the Region by Richmond Magazine, and awarded an Elby as the city’s Best New Restaurant. The Roosevelt was again awarded Elbys in 2013 & 2017 for Best Cocktail Program, and in 2014 for Restaurant of the Year and Chef of the Year.
A native of Hamilton, Virginia, Chef Jared Martin began his restaurant career at age sixteen. After moving to Richmond in 2013, he worked at The Daily Kitchen & Bar – Carytown and as a private chef at The Executive Mansion, residence of the Governor of Virginia. In 2015, Jared began working under Chef David Shannon at his acclaimed restaurant, L’Opossum, ultimately being promoted to Sous Chef. Stages at Oriole and Schwa in Chicago and The Inn at Little Washington in Virginia punctuated Jared’s development and allowed him to further expand his culinary vision and hone his craft. When not in the kitchen, Jared’s love of the outdoors meets his passion for food as he can be found foraging for the season’s bounty around Richmond and across Virginia.
