I've never had a bad meal at Real and Rosemary. I love that I can get fresh healthier food for a good price. This is the only place I will gladly order vegetables! Happy that they've opened up at the summit to grab a bite to eat before running errands

Tasty food casual dining. Service is fairly prompt. I will go again for a quick lunch!

I couldn't find the Crestline location so had to post to this one. Theres no way the chicken i received wasn't microwaved, it was so dry. I tried to stomach it with the sauce but couldn't finish it due to the dryness. The sweet potato casserole was bland and tasted as if it were microwaved as well. Who ever is "cooking" the food is afraid of adding spices to the food. The ambiance is nice and, honestly, the only redeeming quality. But the food, not so much. Stop microwaving your meats and add flavor to your food. Sweet potato casserole shouldn't taste like a mouthful of bland mush. The pecans for the garnish were more flavorful than the casserole itself, this is a problem. Spices and herbs are your friend. You do not use a microwave to cook chicken and you don't have to overcook it until it looks and feels like leather. You also don't need to use frozen "premade" chicken. Take 1 chicken breast, add pepper, salt, paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of turmeric. Make sure that chicken is spiced up on both sides. Place it in a preheated pan for about 5-6 minutes until there's a nice little crust forming on the pan side of the chicken. Then flip and put it in the preheated oven at 400F for about 13-15 mins depending on the thickness of the chicken. Get it out and let it rest for a minute, or don't; either way it'll be better than the chicken we received the other night.Heck if you want grill marks just heat up a masher or a small grate and sear it a second or two.

Great food and wonderful atmosphere. I really enjoyed my visit. We were planning to go to one of the other restaurants in the shopping plaza but the line was too long. We found Real and Rosemary and decided to try it, we were not disappointed. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Service was very good. When you eat inside, it's comfortable but loud!! I had a veggie plate. The Brussels sprouts salad was delicious- fresh, crunchy, great flavor. The Corn Polenta cake was also very good - crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside with corn kernels throughout. The Mac & Cheese was bland - not much flavor. And the fruit reminded me of high school cafeteria fruit cup. A bit fresher, but seriously - not interesting at all, and honestly not as fresh as I expected. And can we just stop with green grapes?

I came by one Saturday for lunch because my sister suggested this restaurant while I was out and about shopping at the summit. It was hard for me to choose what to get, their whole menu sounded delicious! I finally settled on one of my favorites, a Reuben and then a side of mashed potatoes. Both were excellent! I liked how flavorful the potatoes were. They are set up cafe style where you place your order at the counter and then they bring your meal out to you. It wasn't overwhelmingly busy like I expected it to be on a sunny, summer Saturday. My food was out quickly after I placed my order.

Lovely lunch place, had the BLT with fried green tomatoes. Not my favorite BLT. Would probably have enjoyed it more with heirloom tomatoes. The bread is insubstantial for the pile of bacon & the FGT. The Brussels sprout coleslaw was delicious. Bit noisy & crowded for a conversation.

Disappointed to be giving this review to this location, seeing that we love the Homewood location. We placed a to-go order 24 hours in advance to be taken to a friend’s house. It was scheduled for 4:00. When I showed up, it was still not prepared because they said an egg allergy was specified on the order and the seasoning in the kids chicken had egg in it, so therefore they couldn’t make it. R&R called us earlier in the day (which I appreciated) saying that one of the adult meals had egg (which was fine) but didn’t mention anything about the kids meal and so thought we resolved it on the phone that morning. Instead of apologizing and offering some sort of consolidation in the form of a small discount or otherwise for the inconvenience, they had an attitude about it and tried to blame US for not “answering the phone” to sort this out. They admittedly had a staff change which caused the issue but still were not apologetic in any way. I don’t know what’s worse - the fact that they didn’t notify us of the egg in the seasoning for the kids meal the first time we spoke and thought we’d sorted this out or the fact that they just blatantly disregarded our pre-paid order, made us wait and tried to push the blame on us. The lack of accountability overall is disappointing and I’ll never visit this location again even for just take out. Go down the street to Homewood - it’s 10 times better without the attitude.

We tried Real and Rosemary for lunch recently, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! It was pretty dead for lunch time, so we were sat immediately and our food came out very quickly. Because it was our first time (and we were famished) we tried several different things. The only thing I did not enjoy was my appetizer- the honey ricotta dip. The presentation left a lot to be desired, with the bread and apples stabbed into the dip. The taste was boring. To be fair, I frequently make a whipped honey feta dip and thought this would be similar, but the ricotta was so flavorless it made me sad. We also had the fried green tomatoes which tasted good but should have been sliced thinner prior to frying because they weren't cooked thru. My Reuben sandwich was delicious! I enjoyed it. All in all, not a bad experience. The service was good and the restaurant cute. We will probably dine there again if we are at the Summit.
Delicious, fresh, quick food! We enjoyed a glass of Rose with our dinner. The staff really does a great job making you feel comfortable! Order at the counter, then relax!Great addition to Crestline!

The upbeet salad was excellent with well-balanced flavors and the staff was awesome.

The only table in the place. two glasses of $10/bottle cheap Pinot, two cans of IPA, two vegetable plates, no servers, had to ask for water, room temp vegetables, $60. + a 25% tip because there were people working. Last time I ever darken the door. Gave it 2 stars because there were only 2 or 3 flies buzzing us during dinner.

One of my favorite lunch spots! Herb chicken with sweet potato fries is my go-to but I also love the grilled chicken sandwich and the southwest salad.
