I've been to Rosewater once for winterlicious and once for summerlicious. Both times there were things that I really liked and things that I really did not like. I'm going to comment mainly on my recent winterlicious experience.
The service was really really good, and that is one of the reasons why I gave this review 3 stars... or else it would have been 2 stars. The hostess was friendly, the waiter even offered to check up on our friends who were smoking outside.
The venue was nice, but the food was not up to par. The only thing I liked about my meal was the crab cake appetizer, the dinner and even dessert flopped. My dinner was tuna that was "rare", but really it should have been labeled raw. It was just like a huge slab of tuna sashimi that was warm because it was sitting on warm vegetables. My friends got the beef dish and they left the fat on it and they didn't enjoy that either. The dessert was some chocolate cherry thing, but I didn't see any cherry... I think they ran out and used strawberry instead or maybe the cherry was hidden in the sauce. It was hard on the outside and doughy in the inside. The inside tasted like cooked flour with chocolate flavouring. Very disappointed.
Just a warning for those coming here for the winterlicious event.
