| - I was staying at the hotel Place D'Armes across the street, and had made plans to meet up with a friend at Rosewood due to its proximity to the hotel. This place turned out to be my nemesis before I even stepped foot into it. On both nights of my stay at the hotel, I could hear the band (mostly the drums and bass) and people hanging outside on the street smoking, and hooting and hollering. (The bar next door also contributed to the noise.) This went on until 1 or 2am each morning, interrupting my beauty sleep!
Anyway, not wanting the hassle of changing plans, I ended up here for a late lunch on a Sunday. The space is interesting; 2 storeys, and an a-ha! for me when I noticed the stage is set up right in the front of the resto, thus explaining why I heard so much bass.
There was an interesting crowd here; and despite it being afternoon, it was still busy. Overall, service was casual and friendly. And the food was just OK; nothing to write home about. But after food arrived, we were checked on a few times to make sure everything was OK. Sunday was their brunch menu, and I had the breakfast sandwich while my friend had the chicken and pancakes. The breakfast sandwich was OK; however, I wasn't asked whether I wanted bacon or sausage (and I had forgotten to specify when I ordered) and it defaulted to a sausage patty. The chicken was nuggets and she said it was "meh" but the serving was a generous size. While we didn't partake, many did order their bottomless mimosas.
An average meal, with an average price point. While the food wasn't memorable, I will always remember this place as the cause of two nights of lost sleep due to their noisy customers!
