    I booked this reservation for my daughter and her husband to celebrate her 28th birthday. I sent a note ahead of time letting the restaurant staff know and they were very timely in responding back stating they would make her experience special. Well I’m so very pleased to report back that they both had an AMAZING night! They stated the food was fabulous however, even better was how they were treated by your entire servers/team. Thank you Rose Mary staff as I truly believe she had a very memorable birthday this year all because of your attention to detail and for going above and beyond. Absolutely incredible!! And I will be certain to share out their experience with others so they patronize your place as well. Cheers, Pam

    The short rib hummus and the truffled salmon were unreal. Harissa Bloody Mary was very good. The Brussels sprouts and the steak and eggs were tasty but nothing extraordinary. The restaurant is so beautiful which really add to the experience. The patio being open in the winter is great, but it could’ve used an extra heater or two in the corners. Overall I am excited to go back and try more things.

    This was way better than anticipated. The food was delicious. We went on Valentines Day (with a reservation we did not get until the night before) which included a Prix Fix menu. The food was tasty and not too much. I left feeling full and not over fed. There was a jazz trio playing. The room is not overly crowded which I very much like. The decor is a mid century vibe. The views were nice overlooking north Michigan Ave. We had a great view of the Allerton sign.
