    As usual, we had a terrific meal last night. Paige, our Server, was outstanding. The last time we dined at Rosewood, it was extremely loud, and that’s probably why we hadn’t been in awhile, but last night was much better. Brussel sprouts were delish, and hats off to the bartender for a great Cosmo. My husband had the burger and I had the picnic chicken salad and both were very good.

    Wow everytime we come here it's exceptional. The food is always very good. The fish and chips never disappoint. The clam chowder is amazing. Their home made mule is out of this world. The service is attentive and the view is so relaxing. I can't recommend them enough. Our favorite spot!
