    Chez Rosa is a little hard to find. There’s no parking lot and there’s no reason for not going there and having a delicious meal served with love! The food is great the ambiance is delightful and the severs are friendly and knowledgeable.

    I love this place. It's intimate and cozy. The short menu offers plenty for all and the night we were there there was a special offering that we didn't take. We took menu items that were excellent. Sharing is a good concept too.

    David's 388 is like being in a local favorite upscale pub, where all of your friends are close together, everyone's talking, and you're having the time of your life while being served amazing food. If you don't go in with friends, you leave having made new ones. I highly recommend sitting at the chef's dining bar!
