I had an early dinner with my friend for her 40th birthday and we had a great time. The waiter provided great service and was super friendly. We had 4 cocktails from the drink menu and loved them all. We also had some appetizers, sushi, spicy noodles and a salmon dish and enjoyed every dish! We were glad we chose Rosewood to celebrate her birthday and plan on visiting again.
Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, ornate plating, nice wine selection. Rosh took great care of us! Can't wait to visit again! Thanks for providing us with a delightful evening! Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options. Looks like you can make most dishes vegetarian. Dietary restrictions: My friend has many dietary restrictions and had so many options to choose from!
I find that in fusion restaurants, the true elements of specific cuisines get lost in the mix. I wanted to love Rosewood, I did. To be fair, I've spent 5 months in Thailand, so my standards are high. We all had soup to start. I had the coconut soup, one of my favorite Thai dishes. It was overly creamy, very thick, and quite bland. I had ordered one sushi roll, to share with my son's gf, requested it to come out first, before our meal. So, our dinners finally come out, the food runner is auctioning off our food. Food runners should be delivering food to the right seat, not calling it out, especially in a restaurant that has plate prices in the $30 range. I said, oh but we didn't get our sushi yet. He goes over and gets it from the sushi guy, with no apology on the delay. Our actual server is clueless that this has even happened, didn't acknowledge it at all. I place my dinner off to the side to have my bear roll, honestly the highlight of my entire evening, it was divine! Now back to my stuffed flounder, everything is ice cold. The flounder tasted very fishy, possibly not fresh, or not rinsed properly before cooking. It was very dry and crusty, and all the "stuffing" was just ice cold. The fish is really rolled around all the other ingredients. The asparagus was greasy and the seasoning was a little off, completely unpalatable rice, dry, and cold. So, I can't eat my dinner, but not trying to send it back, I just set it to the side and ask the server to take it away. The manager stopped by later to ask if everything was ok, but didn't address me directly, to ask ME why I didn't eat my food. My son and I have both worked in food service, we don't make ugly scenes or send food back, so he just paid for everything and called it a day. And then I still needed dinner, haha! We did enjoy the pear martini and the tropical rum drink. The server seemed like she knew we weren't really that happy, but she didn't have the skills or confidence to try to make it right, nervously asking us three times if we needed our bill split. If I had to guess, I would say she was really just concerned I would pay separately and stiff her. Even if food and service are lacking, we always tip appropriately. To sum it up, it was a fairly expensive night out for a lackluster experience. Can't say I would come back if ever in Cincinnati again. *Edit....ummmmmm, ya might want to READ the review before you reply guys 3+4+5=12÷3=4, so I gave you a 4, but the most important rating, FOOD, was a THREE.
so many good places to eat in this city. this place just became a favorite. good sushi has been hard to find. Rosewood's was excellent. we all had meals also. all of us were very happy with our choices. if you have never been here. give it a try. we will be back very soon. to highly recommend, would be an understatement...
