My mother and I hadn't been to La Rosa in years, so we decided to stop in for lunch today. While the food was delicious, and the presentation attractive, there were several issues during our visit.
- Service: The restaurant was relatively empty, so you would assume service would be good. However, the service was subpar at best. We kept having to call the server over, which was a task in and of itself, because the servers kept hanging out by the bar with their backs to the dining area. At one point, my mother had to get up herself to ask for sugar for our coffee. Additionally, our server brought us the check (without us asking for it), which was to be paid on a handheld computer. He hovered over me, rushing me to pay the bill. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary.
- The bill: Our two entrees were a lunch special, which includes the meat and two sides, along with a soup or salad and a soda. I ordered a soda which apparently wasn't part of the special, because I was charged for it and not told. Additionally, their diet soda options are extremely limited, with Diet Pepsi the only choice. Finally, after paying the check, we noticed our 2 coffees totaled $12, which was a shock. A cortadito at $6 a piece? Unheard of.
We would consider returning solely for the food, but our experience has soured our inclination.
