    The Rose has become one of our favorite places to go from the greeting, warm and inviting, (especially if you’re lucky to be greeted by Elliott), to the wait service that continues the positive attitude that makes you feel like family. The meal choices are so varied that all tastes can be satisfied. The food is truly delicious and presented in an appetizing way. The the home made desserts are not to be skipped!

    My daughter took me to dinner tonight to celebrate my birthday. The service is excellent, and the staff are very thoughtful, when they took us to the table they had a happy birthday card for me. The plates are very creative and the food is delectable and perfectly executed. I highly recommend the lobster bolognese and the veal. It has a refined and inviting atmosphere. It is a bit pricey; nevertheless, I enjoyed my birthday dinner at Citrin. Thank you Kaelan.
