Rosemary's

“I had a wonderful experience at Rosemary’s! I was seated right away and received a warm welcome from my server from the moment I arrived. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and the lemonade that was recommended to me was absolutely delicious. Overall, I couldn’t have been happier with my visit. What made the experience truly special was my waitress. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely charming. Her warm personality and positive energy made me feel so welcome and added something really special to the evening. Thank you for such a memorable dining experience. Bravo, Rosemary’s!”

“Such a nice spot on a sunny day. I ordered the calamari and a salad with added chicken, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. The atmosphere was definitely the highlight — bright, relaxed, and even better with the outdoor seating. Perfect place to sit outside and enjoy the weather.”

“Food is always consistently delicious here - try the foccacia and all the pastas! The drinks are also lovely, and the bar area always has plenty of space to stand and hang / wait for your table. Love this spot! Quintessentially West Village.”

“It was very memorable. I celebrated my 34th birthday here. First time in New York. The food and overall vibe were amazing. I had a tasty desert as well. I had a ton of fun at this restaurant as a result. I would recommend this to anyone in the New York city area. A+ for me and very tasty food.”

“I had a disappointing experience at Rosemary’s while celebrating a friend’s birthday. We had a 5:30 PM reservation, but before seating us, we were told we would need to finish by 6:45 PM due to expected busyness. This was surprising and felt unwelcoming— although it resulted from their misunderstanding, as they initially thought we didn’t have a reservation. It set a poor tone from the start. Once seated, we noticed one of the napkins was stained with sauce. Although it was replaced quickly, there was little acknowledgment or apology, which made the situation feel brushed off. The appetizers were a highlight—we ordered the fried calamari and truffle focaccia, both of which were quite good. However, the rest of the experience fell short. Our entrées arrived late, around 6:25 PM, which felt ironic given the earlier time pressure. The main dishes (a variety of pastas and a risotto) were average in flavor, but the presentation was underwhelming. Several of the ceramic plates were visibly chipped, which detracted from the overall dining experience. We also brought a cake for the birthday celebration and were charged $5 per person for cake cutting. This would have been more understandable if the service matched the fee, but it took quite a while for the cake to be cut and served. Additionally, while clearing the table, a server accidentally dropped a dirty utensil on one of the guests. Although it seemed unintentional, it added to the overall lack of attentiveness. Overall, while there were a few positives, the service and attention to detail left much to be desired—especially for a special occasion.”
