Absolutely stunning place. The ambience was incredible, drinks were creative, and food was outstanding. The staff was also very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable of the menu. It did get a bit noisy at times but overall experience was 11/10. I would go back and eat the exact same meal- it was that good.

First, service was super relaxed and friendly, and I got some great recommendations. Second (and more importantly) the food was great! Highly recommend the leeks. Really enjoyed the bar seating - I love watching the cooks and got to ask some questions about preparation.

Another extraordinary meal. Appreciated the warm welcome and attentive professional service provided by Harshit, the manager of Roses. They always go above and beyond. The suggested grilled salmon was cooked to perfection and the sides precisely prepared to make for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend.
