Like a small Parisian bistro. Monday night Lobster special and chicken pot pie were both fabulous. Bread worth getting fat over. Server was great

The cinnamon toast latte is divine! Not too sweet either. I also ordered the chicken sandwich and it was good and big. My only complaint is that I came in at 10:45 for breakfast with a friend because online it said they are open for breakfast until 11am. But upon arrival, they weren't serving food at all! They said they would start taking lunch orders at 11:30am. So we drank lattes for 45 minutes until we could order food. A bit annoying, but everything was good, the hotel is so cute, and the service was actually great as well. I'd definitely go back... especially for that latte!

We had a great job celebrating my mom’s birthday! I have always gotten their delicious chicken and waffles but decided to go with the fish and grits this time and WOW. What a great decision. You can’t go wrong at Rosie’s.

What a pretty setting in nature! Overall, a pleasant evening, but . . . not easily accessible for anyone with mobility issues. Dining is on the lower level, reached by either a somewhat steep stone, outdoor path or indoor staircase two flights—meaning there’s a landing in between the stair access areas. We had a very good and attentive waiter, which was very nice. The food was “OK,” but not extraordinary at these price points. My husband had the duck which he said was somewhat dry, and I had the rockfish on pasta special, which was somewhat like having a so –so piece of fish over noodles with a basic tomato sauce, (think boyardee). We are very glad we went but for us, not a do-over.
