Rosemary's has always had stellar reviews on Yelp and Chowhound so I wanted to try it for myself. The opportunity to do so came when I was in town with some girlfriends. We were staying at Red Rock so it was just a few miles away.
When I walked in I thought the place looked a little suburban. I was not expecting much. Boy was I wrong!! Everything about that meal -from the food to the service to the call afterward to see if we enjoyed our meal - was amazing.
We all went with the three course prix fixe menu. Since I am not a big dessert person you can order two apps and a main meal. I got the steak tartare for my first app. It was just perfect. I've had a lot of steak tartare through the years and as simple as the dish is, it is very easy to screw up. Not this time. Just perfectly seasoned and presented beautifully. It was one of the best steak tartares I have ever had.
Speaking of presentation, I really enjoyed the coordinated serving of each dish. We were a group of 6 and every course was served simultaneously. I always think that is a nice touch.
I then got the scallops with prosciutto and they also were great. Perfectly cooked and served over a delicious cous cous. I tried the cauliflower soup and risotto that my friends were having and both were excellent.
I ordered the veal as the main dish at the waiter's recommendation. Again, it was flawless. The meat was cooked at the perfect temperature and served with the delicious lentils. I was so full from the other two dishes (the portions are very large) that I could not finish, though it did make for an excellent breakfast.
The rest of our group also loved their food. We were all stuffed at the end.
The service was wonderful. Roberto took very good care of us and was attentive without being too intruding or aloof.
As we were driving back to LA after a fun filled weekend, Rosemary's called us to see if the meal was to our liking. I really enjoy when a restaurant goes that extra mile. There is no doubt I will be back and make the trip out to Rosemary's again. Thanks for a great meal.
