    Christopher took care of us really well. Despite being arguably one of the best steak stops in Cleveland? We went for the seafood tower. Mac n cheese side and a chicken spring roll app. Food was incredible, everyone was attentive and the ambiance was superb. Honourable mention: the bananas foster desert is table made and done so beautifully. 10/10

    The food was excellent. Service was kinda slow. Restaurant was beautiful. The river running along the side of the building was a very nice touch. Would definitely eat there again.

    I've never had a bad meal at Rosewood Grill and this was no exception. Everything was very good to excellent. I think the best were the sushi shots starts - I could have eaten a dozen of them. The least exciting were the desserts - pretty much the same as everyone does: chocolate cake, creme Brulé and cheesecake; how about something a little more unique. Service was excellent, maybe slightly less attentive than usual, but they were very busy.
