I went to Rowes Wharf Sea Grille on my actual birthday, and overall it was a nice experience. The restaurant is inside a hotel and has a very fancy, elegant vibe. We had a 4PM reservation on a Sunday, and it wasn't busy at all, which was perfect. We got seated right away.
There were six of us, and I really loved that we got a round table as it makes it easier to talk to everyone and feel connected, which is exactly what I wanted for my birthday.
I ordered the Wagyu Steak Burger (medium well), and it came with fries. The burger was a decent size, but I didn't love it, there was something off about the texture that I couldn't really explain. The fries were amazing though, very crispy, flavorful, and definitely a highlight.
I was excited to try the Passion Fruit Sling drink, but it ended up being kind of underwhelming. Not bad, just didn't live up to the hype in my head (I love Passion fruit so my expectations are high).
Our server was attentive for the most part, though there were a couple of times when my water glass was empty for longer than I'd like and it took a while to ask for the check.
Now, I have to give a special shoutout to the pastry chef, Chelsea! She found out it was my birthday and sent out a special dessert just for me (pretty sure it was a Black Forest something), and it honestly made my day. That personal touch made the visit feel extra special.
Even though not everything hit, I'd still think about going back to try something different on the menu.
