    I regret that I did not get the name of our waiter, he was fantastic. Made suggestions on add ons that we enjoyed and he was very attentive to us throughout our meal. The filet mignon was like butter! We will definitely return.

    The staff was friendly and the place was nice but the food was terrible. The ceviche had so much cilantro in it that it wasn’t edible, the chicken was dry but the guacamole was decent. Definitely will never go back

    Overall very positive. Been to several Rosa’s in Manhattan. My only critique would be that the shrimp that a friend and I both ordered was slightly over cooked.

    Oh my gosh, I had the best Caesar salad and meal so my server was awesome even gave me a birthday dessert to go. It was a great place to go to start my dining celebration. I usually start the beginning of March but this year for various reasons I only have a week left so it was nice to start it off there.
