“We visited Rose to celebrate my cousin’s 21st birthday with a party of 10, and we had such a wonderful experience! The restaurant was clean, beautifully decorated, and very picturesque, with gorgeous artwork and murals throughout.

Our server, whose name I believe was either Ryan or Brian, was incredibly attentive and accommodating. He even went above and beyond by taking my cousin’s birthday song request and having it played over the restaurant’s speakers, making her celebration even more special!

We arrived around 6 p.m., when the restaurant wasn't too crowded, so service was quick and efficient. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming.

We ordered a variety of dishes, including the pork, wings, salmon, steak, and plantain cups, and everything was delicious! The buffalo cauliflower could have been a little crispier, but that was our only minor critique. The portions were generous, and even the cocktail I ordered (can't remember the name!) was excellent.

I enjoyed the experience so much that I returned the following week with my husband for date night! Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, great service, and an overall wonderful experience. Definitely recommend Rose for a special celebration or a night out!“

“Such a wonderful night at Dalia! 🇪🇸 From the beautiful setting to the bold flavors, so many details to love. We started with the Gambas al Ajillo and the Pan Con Tomate with jamón and bone marrow, both fantastic. The robata was a highlight: the Pluma Iberico with passionfruit and quince jam, the Wagyu Bohemian, and the Pulpo were all cooked perfectly. We finished with the Churros (cardamom, orange, dark chocolate ganache, a must!) and the Gâteau Basque, this is the 8th wonder of the world 🌎 Perfect spot for a date night in Boston, I already want to go back. Highly recommend booking ahead on OpenTable!“

“This place was AMAZING! We were served at the bar by David, who was fantastic to begin with. He really knew his stuff, made incredible drinks, and was fun to talk to.

The atmosphere was so lively and fun. A great date night spot, or spot for small groups of friends to hangout!

The food was very good. The tuna crudo was light and delicious. The patatas bravas were mouth watering. You really can't go wrong with anything you order.

Churros were the perfect way to end the night.

10/10 experience, could not recommend it enough. It is a quite busy and popular place so can be hard if you don't have reservations.

Every time we come back it's amazing as always“

GR catering Tapas •
271 Meridian Street, East Boston

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“
