The Fountain Lounge, located in the Roosevelt, offers a menu featuring dishes like the Fried Chicken Special on Mondays, which is highly praised. The food is generally delicious, with standout items such as garlic shrimp cooked perfectly, red beans and rice, and honey butter biscuits. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, with fresh and beautifully presented food, including a crawfish omelet that was especially tasty. The mussels, gumbo, and redfish are bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The fried chicken night is a highlight, served crispy, spicy, and flavorful with sides like cole slaw and biscuits, all at a reasonable price. Surprising beignets served for an anniversary were considered some of the best ever. Service varies, but when good, it is excellent—servers like T are charming and attentive, and the staff at the bar are friendly and hospitable. Charmaine is especially attentive and friendly, making guests feel right at home. The atmosphere is inviting and lively, making the lounge a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. However, the restaurant can be inconsistent, with some issues like unreliability in food service and closing early on some days, which can be frustrating. Despite these issues, the Fountain Lounge remains a popular spot, especially for its fried chicken and warm environment.
