    12/10! LOUIX LOUIS is a true gem! The food was excellent, and the chic ambiance made the whole dining experience feel so special. The drinks are absolutely amazing, but the highlight for me was their signature cocktail, Pink in the City 🙌🏻 it’s absolutely to die for! The King’s Cake Slice is totally worth it. Perfect spot for a night out. Mariam who served us was amazing. Highly recommend!

    My parents and I had a wonderful dinner outing after my Dad had a conference nearby! Probably one of my favourite spots in the Financial District—hidden away in an office building which was a little difficult to navigate but found our way. I tried the PB Espresso and the Grilled Rigatoni Alla Zozzona, which was absolutely delicious. The dish was full of flavor, and the sausages paired perfectly with the creamy rosé sauce. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be back!

    Another extraordinary meal. Appreciated the warm welcome and attentive professional service provided by Harshit, the manager of Roses. They always go above and beyond. The suggested grilled salmon was cooked to perfection and the sides precisely prepared to make for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend.
