| - Thank you Yelp for recommending this place! I celebrated my 25th birthday at Rosemary's Restaurant, and had a wonderful time with my husband.
We chose the $55 prie fixe menu since it was a great deal. It was so hard to decide on which items you can choose since there are a lot of options on the menu! I chose the appetizer, main entrée, and dessert route. My husband chose the 2 appetizers and main entrée route.
The complimentary bread is so good! There was a white roll and a walnut raisin roll. Yum! I could eat the walnut raisin roll everyday, especially since the rolls were warm.
For appetizer we had the following:
1) Warm Mozzarella Crepe with Tomato Vinaigrette and Pea Sprouts and Popcorn Fried Morel Mushrooms (Special of the day) - The crepe was really delicious with the mozzarella cheese inside. The morel mushrooms were interesting. The batter was really light, so I wouldn't consider it as "popcorn fried."
2) Pan Fried Veal Sweetbreads - Wow! This was yummy. The sweetbreads were very tender. It's one of the best sweetbreads that I've eaten.
3) Panko Crusted Crab Boulettes with Sour Cucumbers - This is the Rosemary's version of a crab cake. The texture was a bit mushy to me, but you can taste the crab. There wasn't a lot of carb fillers either. I prefer the other two appetizers over this one.
We also received an amuse busche of a vegetable lasagna which was complimentary of the chef.
For the main entrée we had the following:
1) Pan Fried Soft Shell Crab on bed of Chanterelle Mushroom and Fingerling Potatoes with Sweet Corn (Special of the day) - The dish is presented beautifully with the crab on top of the mushrooms and potatoes. The batter was very light, and everythign tasted great! I always like to eat chanterelle mushrooms.
2) Roasted Rack of Lamb - Oh goodness. The lamb was very tender and cooked medium rare. The portion of the lamb was very generous. I love the balsamic reduction sauce. I soaked up every bit of sauce with the lamb. I'm not a fan of olives, so I didn't enjoy the mashed potatoes too much.
At this time, I was extremely full, but there is always room for desserts! I ordered the following as my birthday treat:
1) Rustic Apple Tart with candied walnuts and cinnamon ice cream -MmMMm.. the dessert was so good! I was also thrilled that the pastry chef wrote "Happy Birthday" on the plate. Love the extra touches that the restaurant gives. I love how the apple tart came in a tiny puff pastry. It wasn't what I expected since I thought it would be a mini pie. The dessert also came with a butter cookie underneath the ice cream.This is definitely a sweet dish but very good.
We also received a complimentary dessert from chef:
1) Fudge brownie which is really rich
2) Lemon tart
3) Two peanut butter balls - They reminded me of eating a really rich and soft Reese's peanut butter cup.
The service was great, and food was delicious. Highly recommended place in Las Vegas!
