| - Rosemary's Restaurant has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the highest rated Las Vegas restaurants on Yelp. With over 240 reviews and a 4.5 star average, I felt comfortable planning a reception here and was excited to finally try their food.
First off though, service is definitely the attribute that distinguishes Rosemary's from the rest. Although they are typically closed on Sundays for lunch, they agreed to open their whole restaurant for our small party and to give us a private room.
They then proceeded to customize the menu according to the favorites we had heard about on Yelp and were always quick to reply, respond, and help.
The day of the lunch, their staff was professional, friendly, and flexible. Food came out promptly and was hot and delicious. I personally thought the meal was quite good and was happy with all I ordered.
Hugo's Texas Shrimp - this is definitely only for blue cheese fans, but the shrimp came out moist and delectable with the tasty BBQ sauce and was served on a wonderful bed of slaw flavored with blue cheese. The blue cheese and BBQ sauce worked very well together and I see why this is a fan favorite.
Rack of Lamb - Normally a dinner item, Rosemary's was happy to include it on our lunch menu for no additional charge. Two large pieces of lamb came out that were cooked medium rare. The sauce was a slightly sweet combination that went went with the meat. A solid entree. I loved the diced olived and mash potatoes that accompanied the lamb.
Apple Tart - a warm apple tart was served with a cookie and caramel ice cream. I found the tart to be lacking apple, but liked the cookie and ice cream.
Despite it's strip mall location and off-the-strip location (about 10 miles), Rosemary's is definitely worth the visit. The value here is fantastic, including prix fixe lunch menus and $55 prix fixe dinner menus and you'll definitely get more than you could at a mediocre hotel restaurant.
We look forward to returning the next time we are in Las Vegas and thank Rosemary's for their great service and hospitality.
Rosemary's accepts credit cards, including American Express.
