    I booked this reservation for my daughter and her husband to celebrate her 28th birthday. I sent a note ahead of time letting the restaurant staff know and they were very timely in responding back stating they would make her experience special. Well I’m so very pleased to report back that they both had an AMAZING night! They stated the food was fabulous however, even better was how they were treated by your entire servers/team. Thank you Rose Mary staff as I truly believe she had a very memorable birthday this year all because of your attention to detail and for going above and beyond. Absolutely incredible!! And I will be certain to share out their experience with others so they patronize your place as well. Cheers, Pam

    Food was good overall! We enjoyed the our burrata appetizer and the pasta was FRESH! So tasty! My friend’s food was lukewarm though which is why I scored lower on food. The ambience was not as described, the music was very club vibes, no R&B or Italian vibes.
