After a completely disappointing and frustrating start years ago, Rosewood has become a default local restaurant for my wife and I.
I admit it. I hated Rosewood when it first opened. The entire "we don't take reservations" infuriated my wife and I. We have little kids and a fixed schedule; we can't just wait around to maybe someday get a table.
But, years later things have settled down. My wife and I are fairly confident that we can walk in at nearly any time and get a table without much hassle.
There are certain dishes that have become standard meals in our consistent favorite list. After the crowds have dissipated, Rosewood has become like a local dinner place. Consistent and always great quality.
A rough opening but settled down into something great.
