This was our 3rd time dinning at Q1227 and it's time I left a review:…read more First I want to say- I love the ambiance they had live music, I felt like I was some where in New Orleans eating a 5 star meal. Second- the drinks are on point! I appreciate a well rounded craft cocktail! Third- the oxtail- I hope this NEVER leaves the menu! Smoked, fall off the bone, large portion.. it was incredible! I thought I had the best Oxtail ever in Aruba, this one takes the cake! Forth- the sautéed wild mushrooms- I'm a huge fan of a few well known celebrity steakhouses in Las Vegas (living there for a year and a half-I tried quite a few, these mushrooms standup to one of my favorite- Tom Colicchio's Graftsteak. I spent 9 years traveling all over the country for work and enjoy international travel for fun so my palate is well rounded. I'm happy to have settled here in Roseville so I can dine at Q1227 as often as my heart desires. Lastly- service was fantastic! Chef Q even stopped by our table. What a humble and gracious man! Thank you for bringing such a great dining experience to Roseville!

They market themselves as upscale southern food, not soul food, so coming here with realistic expectations is definitely important to your experience. It felt loosely southern inspired, definitely seasoned and prepared with the Roseville demographics in mind. We ordered the Caesar salad, the fried chicken, the ribeye, and a side of mac. Out of those items the ribeye was our favorite, the least favorite was the mac. I ordered a cocktail and they definitely do not skimp on the liquor. I definitely want to try more of the menu. I've heard the burger is delicious, and the brunch menu looks super appealing.

Oh... my... gosh. YUM! I had heard positive things and have been saying for the better part of a…read moreyear now, that I wanted to get out there and give them a try. The food was superb and the service was top-notch! The only regret that I have tonight, is not going sooner. I ordered the special, which consisted of soup or salad, an eight ounce filet mignon, three jumbo prawns, and a side of creamy cajun pasta. For starters, I went with the soup which was a green chicken chili I recall? One sip into it and I was wondering if I should have simply ordered a bowl of that, because it was THAT good. I'm usually weary of ordering steak, too, because I make a mean one at home. SO glad that I did! Was cooked perfect to medium rare and seasoned just right. So tender, that it nearly melted in my mouth. Did I mention that the pasta was homemade, too? DELICIOUS. I rarely order dessert, and was stuffed by the end, however they just so happened to have key lime (my favorite) cheesecake. Of course, I had to indulge. *inserts chef's kiss emoji* The staff were just as amazing and I have to give them credit as well, because a restaurant is only as strong as it's team and they all shine here. Paul was our server and suuuuch a nice guy. A f*ckin' rockstar. I could feel the genuineness oozing from this man. So polite, well-spoken, and just the right amount of professionalism was held without coming across automated. The kids who helped run the food were very polite as well. What I loved most, outside of the meal, was the down-to-earth vibe and atmosphere. There was no crazy dress code that I noticed, in fact, it seemed like majority were dressed in their casual everyday wear, from head to toe. I think that's important because it gives them a chance to express themselves and their individuality, providing us a chance to be able and see them for who they are, and not just an "employee." They all appeared natural and confident, "at home" you could say. The relaxed setting was fantastic and they slang out one of the best meals I've ever had had, accompanied by the service that I just noted. If I was absolutely forced to choose something about the experience that I felt could have been better, maybe add one or two more prawns to the plate? That being said, I walked out full (a good type of full, not feeling like garbage) and can say with 100% confidence that this is the best experience I've had in a restaurant in... well, I'm not even sure how long. Quite some time. Mind blown by the quality and literal love that I felt, and tasted, masterfully crafted into this utter soul-food. 10/10, so keep doing what you guys are doing! Proud to call this place my new spot. P.S. Please excuse my garbage hand writing lol.

We walked in when they opened and were greeted by a very friendly host who allowed us to sit…read morewherever we wanted. We chose a high top in the bar and I was very impressed with the sound quality of the music and the atmosphere. The waiter was on top of it and very helpful. I had the Shaved Brussell Sprouts Salad and my wife had the Crispy Chicken Wrap. My salad was wonderful with a lot of well-balanced flavors. Next time I will ask them to mix it for me. My wife's Crispy Chicken warp was really good and we would both get them again. Not a big selection of food but what they do have they do right. We will definitely make the effort to spot in the next time we are on our way through.
