“Located this restaurant by doing a google search for new restaurants. In town for our wedding anniversary and we had a fantastic meal here. We are passionate about good food and we loved everything we ordered. We shared each dish, and thus got to try several different dishes, including dessert. The flavors--wow -- it was a meal to remember. This chef (who was nice enough to come out and say hello when he heard it was our anniversary) really knows food -- this is very high level cuisine. Yet, he hasn't lost touch with what matters---letting the flavors of high quality ingredients shine through. It was refreshing to be at a top notch restaurant that isn't trying too hard and actually is working to complement the natural flavors of the ingredients. So many restaurants these days are trying to be different or get a Michelin star and they serve dishes that look amazing but have odd or incompatible flavors that don't mesh well -- and you don't feel compelled to go back for that reason. Every dish we had at Rosewood Social had incredible flavor that we will remember for a long time-- very creative ingredient combinations that really worked! We definitely will be back. It was also very reasonably priced for the quality and skill level of the cuisine. (At most other top restaurants in coastal Southern California, we would have paid a lot more.) The service was also excellent. Jake was our waiter and he obviously loves his job. He made great suggestions and made the dining experience even more fun with his enthusiasm and warmth. The ambiance indoors on a very hot day was perfect, with ample air conditioning, and not too many tables-- well spaced. My husband who is a bit hard of hearing had no trouble hearing all the conversation at the table. On a cooler day, we would have sat outside on the terrace which is really lovely. I highly recommend this place, and honestly I'm pretty picky and don't rave in a review unless I really mean it. Another tip: Go during their happy hour so you can try several of the items on the Happy Hour menu at a discount price -- and have a reasonably priced glass of wine too. And if you like bananas, be sure to try the banana dessert with the sweet potato purple ice cream. Fantastic!!”
