Rosewater Kitchen and Bar brings to life the charm and intimacy of the village lifestyle. An intention to be the center of the community; it’s where people gather to celebrate in sharing honest food, craft cocktails, and a well curated wine selection.

Rooted in the style of the new American kitchen, its menu is an illustration of local partnerships and perennial ingredients that pay homage to the gardeners, farmers, fishermen, and foragers who bring them to our tables. Inspired by European romance, the nourishing garden, and intimacy of slow cooked food; Rosewater is our interpretation of the never ending, always evolving garden party.

    Our waitress was lovely, and her attention stellar. The bartender willingly made a cocktail not on the current menu, but one that one in our party had had there several weeks ago and loved—very much appreciated! Appetizers and dinners delicious. Shared dessert, chocolate cobbler, was a bit underwhelming—more of a brownie we could have made ourselves at home, and elevated only by the vanilla ice cream.

    Rosewater is a beautiful restaurant. The food and service are both very good to excellent. The only complaint we have is that it's a bustling energetic restaurant. The later the night went on the quieter it became, which made up for the initial barrage of sound.

    What an amazing meal!!! My coworker and I each had the branzino. I had the Brussels sprouts and she had the mashed potatoes. We both cleaned our plates and remarked on how well the fish was cooked and how juicy and flavorful it was. 10/10!

    Although staff was friendly that’s the only positive I can say about our experience. Terrible acoustics - my apple watch even went off to warn of high decibel levels!! Service was extremely slow. Entrees disappointing. We would not recommend to anyone.

    Great food, great service. We had 3 courses and were in and out in a little over an hour. Pretty amazing for a Saturday night. Service was outstanding. I’m older (44) and did feel a little out of place. Everyone else eating there was in there 20s.

    This is the best Sunday Brunch spot in Raleigh. I have tried many items on the menu, but the French toast is among my favorites. The mimosas are excellent. My friend had the traditional breakfast and loved it as well. The service is always kind and efficient. The atmosphere is elegant, yet comfortable. If you go on a warm day the outdoor seating is perfect.

    The brunch menu was very limited and they ran out of a few items. When the manager, Jason Sabin, came around asking all the diners how everything was, I told him we were a bit disappointed as there were no biscuits. He was then corrected me and said there were biscuits, but they ran out. He was quite rude and agressive in his tone. I told him I had not called him over, he was the one going around to just check on the customers. He asked my opinion and I told him, and I certainly did not appreciate being spoken down to and condescended to when I’m out yo eat with my family. He then offered us Danish, and I said ‘no thank you’. I really felt like I was not a valued customer and this experience has really turned me off Rosewater. I had always had good experiences so this was extra disappointing as I had brought visiting family as a special treat, and it ended up being a very unpleasant meal.

    We always love Rosewater. The only thing this time was that our server could have been a bit more attentive. We received our appetizers but no appetizer plates. We were so hungry that we just made due. The server did not come by between when the appetizer was served and the mains were served.

    Rose water is a beautiful spot. It is noisy and if an apart larger than 2 people guest may find it difficult to hear each other. Our wait staff was amazing with the perfect amount of interaction.

    Have to say I am a bit disappointed. Went for brunch. Service was slow and food unimpressive for the price. Eggs were far overcooked, French toast wasn’t served as described on the menu (was plain with couple of blueberries) and the Bloody Mary was watery. I would expect better than that for the price.

    We went for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. The food and service were absolutely superb. My little table was a bit loud (celebratory) and the staff managed it well and were truly welcoming and kind. I recommend all of the mimosas and all of the food :-) Do not miss the espresso creme brulee. Yum

    I loved everything but I have one thing I think needs to suggest. Every time I have ever ordered Branzino whole it was filleted at the table to serve the fish and remove it from the bones. I was scared to death that I would swallow a bone. You need to remove the flesh from the bones. One for service and presentation and two for safety. Just a thought and suggestion.

    Our server, Michael was excellent. We were seated quickly. Entrees took too long to come out. Potatoe Fritter was bland. Both sides came out ahead of our entrees. The Yukon Potatoe side was dry and needed butter or something added to it. The pork chop was sliced (not the case on a previous visit) with green cilantro or something over it that took away from the dish. It was tender, but not enjoyable. Hubby has had better prepared salmon. I rarely post, but we were disappointed. Oh and the cheesecake didn't make the mark either.
