Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Rosemary Bistro Cafe is a charming neighborhood gem offering authentic French cuisine with a twist. Known for its "excellent food" and "dependably good service," it's perfect for both special occasions and casual get-togethers. Highlights include the "floating island dessert" and attentive staff like Tim. Outdoor seating is popular, though street noise may be a consideration.

    Rosemary is a true neighborhood gem, and offers inventive Franch-bistro cuisine in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Tim is a fabulous server to boot. We had the onion tart, the pheasant, and the hazelnut/pecan tart -- all wonderful dishes! Highly recommended!

    While I am a big fan of Rosemary both for lunch and dinner I was disappointed in my lunch there on Friday. I ordered the Ceasar salad with Chicken and the chicken breast was quite dried out and leathery, and the greens were meager .

    Great food and service. We had two young children with us and they took lovely care of them bringing their food right away and giving them dessert as a bonus. A lovely evening was had by all.

    Food was delicious -- fish, beef, and special main courses ordered by our group. All raved about them. Appetizers and dessert, especially creme brulle wonderful too.

    Great neighborhood restaurant that everyone in the area should try. The burgers are outstanding as well as the fries. The staff is friendly but not overpowering. A lovely evening or lunch to be had by all.
