| - Went to the Rosewood (former Inn at Turner's Mill) for the first time last night!
First off I would like to say this place gets an A for friendly service and a nice atmosphere. We were seated by the hostess immediately. Our server had many suggestions for us and was able to answer all of our questions about the menu. We sat on the patio which, although the only thing it overlooks is the parking lot, is surrounded by some nice landscaping and has a fire pit where we sat and drank our coffee after dinner. The interior of the restaurant was also visually very nice.
As for the food itself, well, it was pretty underwhelming. The salad I ordered to start was good, just a simple house salad with spring mix, cucumbers, vinaigrette, mozzarella cheese and a few croutons.
I was excited to see that there were a lot of seafood dishes on the menu, and I ended up ordering the special which was a white fish (forget which variety) in a sesame seed marinade, a small bed of arugula and frisee topped by some crab salad, and steamed baby bok choy. The fish was a nice texture but overall pretty flavorless even with the marinade. The bok choy was served whole, without any type of sauce, seasoning, etc. and it was completely overcooked to the point of being mushy and stringy. It was very hard to cut due to the mushy, stringy texture, got cold quickly, and was generally not very appetizing. I truly love bok choy and the baby bok choy was the reason I ordered the special! I think it would have been much better had it been cooked a lot less and then drizzled with a sauce of some type to complement the flavors in the fish. The little bed of leaves with crab salad was pretty nice although it seemed a bit disjointed from the rest of the meal in terms of flavor.
For dessert I had creme brulee and coffee. The creme brulee was very good, you really can't go wrong by ordering that. The coffee was also good and our waitress came by to give us a warm up pretty quickly too.
My dad got the caesar salad, the trout from the regular menu, and the creme brulee also. He also said his meal was just okay. His was served with the fish cut in half, and then risotto was placed in the middle of the two halves. This caused the fish to cool off more quickly, and also made the plate look a mess with just a pile of food.
Overall, I would give this place an A for prompt and friendly service, an A for atmosphere, and a C- for the food. Given the former, and the fact that this is one of the few places in town open past 9pm, I will probably be back at some point to try a drink and one of their flatbreads or sandwiches.
