    The sushi is off the charts! Our service was excellent. While we were disappointed that the table they had for us was on the sidewalk in the beating sun, it turned out fine to sit at a high top in the bar. Can’t wait to come back.

    Drinks were not good. One was so spicy we couldn’t even drink it. The happy hour quick and dirty martinis were awful. Served in the wrong glass and didn’t taste like a martini at all. Steak was undercooked and had a weird texture. Sushi rolls were okay but fell apart easily. Some of the fish tasted too fishy- which is not a good sign. Only saving grace was the crispy rice appetizers. Won’t go back.

    Great dinner with friends at Rose & Ivy. The food was outstanding and service excellent! The only downside was we were upstairs and it is so noisy you have to scream across the table. We will definitely go again, but request outside in the garden. Will not sit upstairs again.

    First time at Rose and Ivy - it was an amazing find for really fresh and tasty sushi classics! Wait staff and manager very personable and friendly. The Building (and especially courtyard) is really quaint and charming. We will return again!
