So dinner was great! There were 4 of us. We enjoyed 2 appetizers, Hamachili which was delicious and the Rose & Ivy salad, soooooo yummy. 2 of us had the shrimp & scallops with a miso sauce which was delicious as the scallops were perfectly cooked, a Miso Sea Bass that was delicious also but a touch over cooked and a bit firm but tasted delicious as well and had the same sauce as the shrimp & scallops- I’d love the recipe for that sauce and the 4th of us had a NY strip that was also delicious and had an amazing sauce as well and a side of garlic broccolini that I could go back and have a big bowl of that. The service was great, Alex was our server and he was fabulous with great knowledge and recommendations! The upstairs bar was so cool because it was built by Ringling as his prohibition bar. Gorgeous. Can’t wait to go back!

I made a reservation for lunch through open table and when I got there the restaurant was closed. It looks like a lovely place and everyone says they have good food but obviously their reservation system is broken.

A wonderful experience. 'Only negative comment was that my Manhattan drink was a little on the small side - but an excellent drink.

Great vibes and delicious food. Excellent vegetarian options and they are quick to adapt a meal for a vegetarian palate. Love the ringling era building and energy.

We went with another couple for Valentines Day dinner and everything was nothing short of spectacular! The ambiance and drinks were great, the sushi is fresh and delicious, and the meal was to die for! The filet literally melted in our mouths. We would highly recommend Rose and Ivy and will definitely be returning.
