For an event venue and non-foodie place, we thought the dinner Rosewater was pretty good. Its a nice venue with its high ceiling, pretty murals but to be honest, we didn't have high hopes for the food. We were redeeming a gift certificate and thought it would be a nice night out.
We ordered some reasonably priced wines and sampled the types of bread which were okay. Went straight for the main course (Tagliatelle and Cornish hen) which were both well prepared and delicious. Sure its no 'Torito' or 'Black Hoof' but maybe they are not going for that. Some places are just for the experience of dining at a glamorous place. Its definitely a more 'older-non foodie' crowd though.
I do have to say I expected better service from such a high end place. My theory is that if you aren't looking to score high points on your menu, you should excel in service and ambiance. We weren't even brought water or attended to for the first 20 minutes and it wasn't a busy night at all. Until a manage saw us glancing around, none of the 6/7 servers milling around came to our table. We finally got a nice enough guy but who was a bit pushy with appetizers and dessert. He checked in often and when I said I was too full from the main to order dessert, he commented about how that would be true because I finished that giant plate of pasta!!! DUDE, not cool! you never say that to a girl. Obviously, we didn't say anything and left a generous tip. But in retrospect, I'm not sure if there's a reason to come back.
