| - I've been to roseangel once, about a month after it opened, on a Sunday evening. I believe my group comprised all the customers in attendance throughout the entire meal, and the staff and owner could not have been more attentive or congenial.
Everything was good, and most things were great. I had the Duck Confit (crunchy shell) and Seared Tuna (soft shell). The duck was delicious; the tuna was nice, but not mind-blowing. My table ordered one of the salsas (unfortunately, I don't remember which, but it was heavy on avocado and garlic, if that helps), and it was incredible.
My biggest disappointment was my drink. I really enjoyed the cocktail I had had at Luxe a few weeks earlier, and was looking forward to a creative combination of flavors. I ordered the Perpetula, a "Cucumber & Lemon Mojito with Bacardi and and Fresh Mint," which had a lovely cucumber and mint flavor but did not really taste of alcohol at all, and not in a good way. As far as cucumber and mint-infused water goes, it was great, but there was no way I was getting a buzz off of that drink. Maybe it was a bad night for the bartender, because with drink descriptions like roseangel's, I'd expect drinks with a kick.
The decor is rich and beautiful, in my opinion. Definitely very festive and trendy.
I'll definitely be back for duck tacos and guacamole, and I look forward to getting their happy hour prices ($4.25 a la carte for those tacos is already really good).
