Rosebar Boston

We decided to give Rose Bar in Boston a try during peak dinner hours at 7pm, only to find the place nearly empty, with just one other table preparing to leave. Initially, we were reluctant to have the entire place to ourselves, with the chic and tasteful interior, along with comfortable seating, made us hopeful for a pleasant evening. The service was exceptional. The bartender/server was very attentive, friendly, and had a good sense of humor, which added a pleasant touch to our experience. The drinks were commendable, and I would definitely return just for their dirty martini. However, the food left much to be desired. We started with the salmon ceviche, which was a letdown. I haven't tried salmon ceviche before and was quite excited to experience a non-traditional ceviche made with something other than white fish or shrimp. Unfortunately, it was completely under-seasoned and lacked the necessary citrus elements to balance the fattiness of the salmon. It seemed like the only citrus was the lime wedge placed on top, which was insufficient. The pico de gallo and guacamole were quite basic and lacked any distinctive flavor, though I hesitate to call them store-bought. On a positive note, the tortilla chips were fresh and enjoyable. Next, we had the bone marrow, which was a decent attempt but ultimately fell short. The bone marrow itself was dense and not spreadable, giving the impression that it was slightly undercooked. The bone remained very white in color, suggesting it wasn't broiled or cooked enough. Overall, this dinner was not one I would look forward to repeating. Despite the pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and friendly staff, the food quality needs significant improvement before I'd consider returning for a full meal.

The place was nice, everything was so clean and bright. The atmosphere was great. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. My friends and I came to have some appetizers and cocktails. I ordered TRUFFLED FLATBREAD and their ROSEBUD cocktail that our server recommended because I wanted something sweet and light. The flatbread was good, it was delicious. However, the cocktail was not that good, it was too strong and it was not sweet. Then I ordered SECRET GARDEN and it was a little bit better. At least it was sweet and less strong.

The food here is AMAZING! The drinks are DANGEROUSLY GOOD! There were three of us dining for work and all diff tastes and personalities and we were all blown away by the food. Our server was super nice. The vibe here is very chill. And warning, If you’re an uptight person, you probably won’t like it here. I actually appreciated the chill vibes because I feel very rushed at most restaurants and they do not give you that pushy feeling here, at all. The decor and ambiance is gorgeous. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy more that the bar has to offer! YUM!

We went as a group of 8 with 6:00 reservation on a Thursday night. Our drinks took over 20 minutes to come out and they came 1 at a time. We watched the bartender reading the menu to see what was in them. Our food was equally as slow, with it being served over the span of about 20 minutes, once again with meals coming out 1 or 2 at a time. This is not how you serve a meal everyone should be able to eat together. Most of the escargot was tiny bits and pieces of escargot ($24!), like it was the bottom of the can and they were trying to use up the dregs....the Caesar salad was overdressed to the point of making the lettuce & kale soggy. The seared octopus was YUMMY, that was the best part of the meal. The atmosphere was nice. This was our first time in Boston. I wish I had read reviews like this prior to going. We are all in the food industry and understand the in's & out's of service, this was just bad. I'm sorry, I prefer to give good reviews, but with these prices, I really feel people should know what they are getting into if they go to eat there. Hopefully the restaurant will improve, it seems to have potential.

Super cute bar with good drinks

Awesome place! Great drinks, food and atmosphere, would definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for chill spot for a few drinks and quick bites!

I finally had a decent size dining award from Open Table ($110) and wanted to try something new. This place came up and it was easy to make a Rez. Upon arrival, there wasn't a host so we walked up to the bar. The bartender was friendly and he cleaned a table and sat us right way. The restaurant was pretty empty and the lights were super bright - not the dinner vibe I was expecting. They played good music but it didn't go well with the vibe of the food - Latin fusion. The drinks were good. And the food was alright. We ordered a few things - elote, chips and salsa plus guacamole, plantains, fish and chicken tacos, and the arepa nachos. My favorite was the elote. Some thoughts --The pico and the guacamole tasted store bought. The arepa chips on the nachos were too soggy with oil and there was too much guacamole; the cheese sauce was tasty. The fish tacos were tastier than the chicken. We weren't sure about the sauce on the chicken tacos but it wasn't very appealing. We wanted to try the chicken flautas but they were out. I really wanted to love this place. I think it has potential but def needs some more TLC.

The food was terrible. I went today on Valentine's Day. I wasn't aware it was a special menu night. I originally went for the flautas and didn't get it. The filet mignon was tasteless. No flavor whatsoever. Drinks was okay. Service was bad was waiting a lot for drinks and food. Ambiance was good and music but that's about it. I feel bad for the manager she was mostly waiting on her own. I won't be going back
