"First time there and was a little nervous because it's named after Rosedale. Very nice people and great service and very welcoming. Great food as well. Recommended to all my friends afterwards. Will definitely go again thank you."

"This was our first visit, and all four of us were extremely pleased with our meals. The chicken dijonnaise was particularly amazing, and the moussaka, seafood linguini and sticky Asian ribs were also very tasty. Our server was very kind, helpful and he knew the menu well, and the drinks were also delicious. We definitely feel like we discovered a perfect and cozy little spot! The place is small, but the ambiance is great, music was great and played soft enough to enjoy in between conversation. Overall great experience. This place really is a "neighborhood gem.""

"We were there for Winterlicious which may not have been the best time to do a review what with the Restaurant being very busy, but we did enjoy the food and the price was reasonable."
