    Beso’s… originally didn’t know where the hostess stand was but found it before we reached upstairs 🙃. The ambiance was intimate and the food… seasoned to perfection! I usually don’t like capers in anything but they found a way to blend it in seamlessly and it added the flavor it was supposed to give. Pleasantly pleased. Our serve Anna was AMAZING and recommend you ask for her anytime you dine in.

    This was our first time dining at Maddy Rose. We loved it from start to finish! We were celebrating my daughter's birthday and she loved it! They even personalized her menu with her name and birthday! Beautiful views of the city from our table and the food was fantastic as was the service! We will definitely go back!

    Amazing food. Even better service. Unsure of the kind man that greeted us at the door, but he made our night all the better! And actually took the time to speak to my 5 year old daughter which I always appreciate! A great gem to have in the neighborhood. I’ll definitely be back!
