| - You know...I want to write a great review, but I can't. I can write a good review, though.
plus: the food was distinct. Interesting.
con: over $50 for a brunch for 2 and we both left hungry?
I can see why people love Rose and Son's: different offerings, cool music. But personally speaking, I found in the attempt to offer something different, this place falls short and I just can't quite buy what it is they are selling - and certainly not at those prices.
In their defense, I went expecting more of a traditional diner breakfast/brunch. This is not a diner in the least, so they can't meet my expectation. Definitely not their fault. (Le Petite Dejeuner is a good example, for me, of a place that offers a tasty breakfast/brunch, but does so uniquely - I felt that Rose and Sons attempted to do this, but what they offer just isn't for me, I guess).
Portion size and price (and lack of any offerings that aren't so super rich) will keep me from returning, as will the coffee being a strong americano - not a brewed bottomless cup (again, my expectation of brunch). The tiny $7 milkshake, to me, represents why this place isn't for me: (and I'm almost too shy to write this): The twee food and twee vibe just aren't for me.
Our waitress was lovely, absolutely no complaints there.
(Side note: we faced the kitchen and I would love to see some hairnets (or even hair tyed back) on people in the kitchen, given that the waitresses all have long, flowing hair).
