   A wonderful experience. 'Only negative comment was that my Manhattan drink was a little on the small side - but an excellent drink.

   Great vibes and delicious food. Excellent vegetarian options and they are quick to adapt a meal for a vegetarian palate. Love the ringling era building and energy.

   We went with another couple for Valentines Day dinner and everything was nothing short of spectacular! The ambiance and drinks were great, the sushi is fresh and delicious, and the meal was to die for! The filet literally melted in our mouths. We would highly recommend Rose and Ivy and will definitely be returning.

   Geez- Do not mistake this for a great, upscale dining experience. More like a nice ambience casual spot for people with money. Had a reservation here for Valentine’s Day evening at 7:00. My boyfriend and I had heard great things and I figured it would be a total destination restaurant for Valentines. It was pretty busy but a handful of open tables and no line. Our server was nice but clearly in a nervous/confused state. Our two cocktails took longer than we would have liked but not outrageous, probably about 15-20 minutes. We ordered the two different bao buns and miso soup for appetizers shortly after. Two different servers (neither our original server) brought out our appetizers, not at the same time, and Both servers walked past our table and tried to give our appetizers to other guests. We waved them down and got our food. Both servers seemed very nervous and awkward, and didn’t apologize or explain what was happening, it was as if it was their first day (all three servers we dealt with). The bao buns were very disappointing. The buns were stale, they were teeny tiny and only two in an order (they were $15 each), bland and dry. My miso soup was fine but completely drenched in seaweed. Our cocktails were also just mediocre. We realized we had already spent over $50 and didn’t really enjoy anything we had, and the service was bad, and it wasn’t even upscale like it’s advertised (servers were wearing sneakers and pretty casual clothes). They had no specials for the holiday despite being marketed as a date night spot. We told our server, very politely, we were going to take the bill and go somewhere else. She said “Oh, I just put your sushi in!”…. We didn’t order any sushi! We told her we didn’t order that and she said “Oh okay” and brought us our check. No apology, no questions, nothing. All this to say it was just a let down, not at all the hype we had heard. We went to Element after and had a fantastic experience

   Went for Valentine’s day. Sat in the courtyard and the live music was absolutely perfect. Every dish was delicious and nice to look at. This restaurant does not get enough love, highly recommend.

   Wonderful place, yummy food, and delicious cocktails. Cristina was a delight, we have learned so much from her about the history of the restaurant.Her food suggestions were very good..Raphael was welcoming from the door, encouraging us to try the bar upstairs and he was right we had an amazing time.The ambiance and music is nice. We returned twice and also tried their other restaurant, Clasico, for good pizza and sald for lunch.Highly recommend this restaurant
