    This is now my favorite restaurant. I had the duck which was terrific. Other menu items with my husband and family included scampi, grouper and a lobster tail. Everyone loved! The patio is so beautiful. We had entertainment by a violinist which was so nice. Such a beautiful evening.

    Had a lovely dinner on a stormy night, but inside it was comfortable and reasonably quiet (except one "Karen" that had a loud cackle for every comment). The Bermuda fish chowder was delicious, full of fish chunks in a sherry-tomato base. My wife had the lobster tail (3-4oz) with drawn garlic butter; excellent. Following a Caprese salad to cool the taste buds, we dove into the Meatloaf and pistachio dusted wild salmon. Both dishes were served hot and featured grilled asparagus and risotto as accompaniment. Really nice deep flavor, especially the meatloaf! A Tiramisu dessert capped the evening. Of course, we had a fantastic server (Katrina) that made the evening even more delightful! We wish her well as she was headed to Rhode Island for the Summer!

    An exceptional meal, which always seems to be the case when we visit R&T. Had the wasabi encrusted halibut and it was excellent. Flash fried but yet the fish was moist and properly cooked. Nice add on of a cold water lobster tail for only $3. Katrina was our server and she was conversant with the menu and very pleasant.

    Went for a date night on a Tuesday. Appetizer was good. The entrées were very small tiny. Very disappointing. My pork chop was sliced so thin I couldn’t believe it could be sliced that thin and it was mediocre at best. My wife’s fish was another very very small piece of fish. I’ve been there many times for date night and was never disappointing but this time very disappointed portions were never that small. Don’t know if we will be going back.

    The Rosemary has been our favorite restaurant in the area for many years. We were there the first night it reopened after the Covid closures and have celebrated many special occasions there as well as our own date nights so had to take advantage of George's date night special. We have enjoyed several of the special wine dinners and also lunches. What a delight last night when we recognized Shane, our server, from past evenings, though we had somehow not seen her recently. We will be back soon.

    Great service. Sat outside. Had a group of very loud very drunk ladies next to us. Not the restaurant's fault of course but it did interfere with a nice meal until after they finally left. This is our "go to" place for pre theater dinner and never disappoints.

    Four of us were there on Mothers Day--a day you don't usually expect great food and service. But we were seated at our actual reservation time which was a pleasant surprise on a busy day. Our server was helpful and very pleasant. It was the end of the day and he must have been quite tired, but you couldn't tell. While the menu was limited for the special occasion, all of us liked our entrees very much. Good Job!

    3 diners. One had lamb, one had scallops, one had halibut. Scallops were very good, lamb was more rare than expected but tasty, and halibut was dry. The entrees were expensive and adding salads made it even more so. A fine dining restaurant should not serve butter in a plastic cup. Ambience of the side of the restaurant we sat in could have been better - very sterile. Server was good.

    The Menu was well balanced with abundant choices of seafood and non seafood items. The food was outstanding in taste and texture and with perfect presentation. The service was exemplary. Staff stopped by frequently to check on our meals and needs. Not only were our meals prepared and presented quickly, but the staff was very responsive. The dining environment was perfect - that of a fine dining restaurant. We have dined at Rosemary And Thyme numerous times - all of which were perfect.

    Our experience at Rosemary and Thyme was very disappointing and as a result, we left the restaurant without having an opportunity to eat Mother’s Day brunch. While making the reservation, I informed the restaurant that we had a guest that is vegan. (Yes, they had vegan options on the regular menu so it has been our experience that our request could be accommodated). As we arrived at the restaurant, the manager acknowledged the note from open table and informed us that they could accommodate our request. Unfortunately, they had no concept of what vegan food contained or more specifically what it did not contain (dairy, meat, etc). After waiting 30 minutes for the staff to offer options, they came back to the table and said they couldn’t offer any solutions. I suggested easy accommodations such as an avocado toast or just sautéed vegetables. As they were in the kitchen verifying these options with the chef, my mother and I tried to order the eggs Benedict. The first waiter passed the table to another waiter that understood how to make a vegan toast. She returned to the table and said that they were transitioning to the evening menu and that the eggs Benedict option was no longer available and that we would have to order from the dinner menu. At this point, we had been at the restaurant for over an hour waiting on a simple vegan toast (bagel, avocado, tomatoes, salt &pepper). Once the transition to the dinner menu occurred, they wouldn’t accommodate the vegan toast request. The two servers and the manager could have found easy solutions while we were there. Instead, the made us wait for an hour and 15 minutes without delivering on any food orders. It was a frustrating day that was supposed to be a celebration and recognition of Mother’s Day. As a result, we left the restaurant without being served and without a formal apology from the manager or owner. Who screws up a Mother’s Day brunch?
