excellent food, service, and pleasant. Tables not too close. But some people get noisy when they drink....

Thinking about our fabulous luncheon spring 2025, for our son’s college graduation. Sophisticated, simple elegance and not fussy at the same time. Food and drinks, service and setting , all delicious and magnificent!! We cannot thank the staff and chef/owner enough for the attention to detail and kindness for a magical event.

From the moment we walked in, we were pleasantly welcomed. The wait service was superb, not too overbearing. The food was fresh and well prepared. Price point was moderate and on par for a superb lunch. Highly recommend.

We've eaten at Rosemary Bistro several times this past few months and each time the food has been beautifully prepared. The duck confit is wonderful - I have them put the sauce on the side to preserve the crispy duck skin. The filet mignon and bronzino were also outstanding. The service was attentive. All in all a great place to dine.

Timothy D was a fantastic server who was extremely helpful. The escargot, sweet bread, and burger were all top notch.

The atmosphere of the place is what drew me in and that did not disappoint! The service was also incredible. But the actual food I ordered (the rosemary burger and the shrimp ceasar salad) was honestly lacking in flavor. The quality was nice but it was really not seasoned at all. The french onion soup and warm onion tart were better. So give this place a try, my food may just have been a one off.

While we have had a number of very good meals at Rosemary Bistro Cafe, the scallops we were served were relatively small and served only with a leek fondue puree. Five small scallops with a little puree for $38 was quite overpriced and not entirely satisfying. On the other hand, the special delicata squash salad for $18 was quite good. Had I not had that too, the scallops would have left me hungry.

This is a small neighborhood restaurant but since I had asked for a quiet table for guests from out-of-town, the proprietor met us at the door and had saved the best table at the back for us. We had no trouble carrying on our conversation. The food was excellent as always, and my guests (from Florida/New York) were quite pleased.

My daughter and I had the most delicious dinner last night at Rosemary! We were celebrating my belated birthday and I had the most pampering experience. As we walked in, everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The walls were covered with beautiful colorful art and pleasant music was playing in the background. We were able to converse and take our time looking at the menu while eating artisan fresh baked bread. The salad was so fresh and it came in a surprising edible shell for a bowl. I ordered the special bouillabaisse and was impressed with its taste and sizable pieces of shrimp, scallops, and fish. My daughter’s scallops were also cooked to perfection! And finally, our dessert was the perfect ending to our dinner. We highly recommend!

Wonderful food and service! Be warned, there is a new 5% charge on the bill for overhead, none of which goes to the waitstaff. Wish they would just change the food prices.

Another wonderful meal at Rosemary bistro: sea scallops over celeriac and leek puree, and Beef Wellington en croute for only $36! Excellent service,(serve us in time to get a movie ) and relaxed bistro ambience.

I was there for a quick snack but it was enough to get a sense of the place. I was there early so the staff had not much distractions. I dat at a table outdoors. The presentation was acceptable. The staff was attentative and the food, the soup of the day and a salad was really good. I would like to go back for a full dinner next time and try some of their specialities.
