    We had an amazing experience. We made a reservation for two and were placed at a shared 8 top table. Not what we wanted to experience that night. We asked the reservation specialist if we could move to a quieter more private table and she was able to accommodate us within 5 minutes. Marcus, our server, did an asking job explaining the food and beverage menu. The food was quick and tasted amazing (oyster's, artichokes, pizza). Atmosphere amazing and the bathrooms were clean. Love the lotion in the bathroom.

    I booked this reservation for my daughter and her husband to celebrate her 28th birthday. I sent a note ahead of time letting the restaurant staff know and they were very timely in responding back stating they would make her experience special. Well I’m so very pleased to report back that they both had an AMAZING night! They stated the food was fabulous however, even better was how they were treated by your entire servers/team. Thank you Rose Mary staff as I truly believe she had a very memorable birthday this year all because of your attention to detail and for going above and beyond. Absolutely incredible!! And I will be certain to share out their experience with others so they patronize your place as well. Cheers, Pam

    Had a wonderful time. We checked in for a birthday dinner, and the hostess inquired whose birthday it was and greeted the birthday boy warmly, as did our server when she came to our table to greet us. Everything was delicious. We had the Prosciutto and warm bread, fried artichokes, rigatoni amatriciana, the NY strip and the roasted romanesco. Highly recommend the artichokes and the rigatoni, just outstanding. We had 2 cocktails, both delicious, and the pistachio gelato (one serving is enough for 2 people to share). They had 2 glasses of prosecco brought out for a birthday toast. We will definitely be back. The pricing is standardly high on the food side, but that is to be expected these days.

    Food and service were great. Place can get a bit noisy. But again, it is a bar/restaurant. Saying that, would still go back again in a heartbeat!
