The restaurant is a very modern tavern that gives off a very social feel. Ambiance rate 6.5/10. My friends and I ordered... 1. Wild Mushroom Scramble: This dish was great! The toasted bread smeared with a truffle cream was delicious! However, the truffle flavor was faint, so I'd recommend asking for truffle aioli on the side which essentially elevated its overall taste. Rate 8/10. - Side of French Fries: These were okay since they could've been crispier. Rate 6/10. 2. Chocolate Babka French Toast: This was a nice sweet dish! However, it lacked berry compote, and the bread itself was soggy on the bottom which was upsetting. Rate 7/10. 3. Steak and Eggs: This dish was yummy! The eggs were perfectly runny, and the chimichurri was good! Unfortunately, the hanger steak was cooked almost well done rather than medium rare which was what I asked for. Rate 7/10. The staff were friendly and the service was moderately quick. Service/staff rate: 7/10. Overall, this casual establishment is a nice place to hangout and enjoy a nice Sunday brunch.

Inside, the café is clean, inviting, and has a warm atmosphere that's perfect for grabbing a coffee or catching up with a friend. I ordered a large cold brew with vanilla syrup, and it was easily the highlight of my visit. Smooth, refreshing, and nicely balanced without being overly sweet. I would absolutely order it again. For food, I tried the Breakfast Burrito, although it's really closer to a Crunchwrap than a traditional burrito. It comes with scrambled eggs, bacon, peppers and onions, cheddar cheese, avocado mash, tater tots, and lima crema. On paper, it sounded like a home run. Unfortunately, the execution did not live up to the description. It ended up being extremely greasy, mushy, and surprisingly lacking flavor despite having so many ingredients. I kept expecting each bite to get better, but it never really did. It was one of those dishes that had a lot of potential but just missed the mark. My cold brew and breakfast came to $23.84 with tax, which felt a little expensive for a breakfast wrap and coffee. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee because it was excellent. As for the food, I'd probably try something different next time. If the kitchen can match the quality of the coffee, this place could be a real standout.

Didn't bother us too much but would probably bother another customer. The food was pretty disappointing for spending over $130 for two people. Our cocktail drinks were either too strong or too sour. We ordered the burrata caprese and it was not seasoned enough. There needed to be more salt or more balsamic glaze. Without either, it was just bland. We spent $38 on the bistro steak that was supposed to be medium rare. It was so underdone and tasted off and it was the biggest let down because it was the most expensive thing on our bill. The brussel sprouts, sauce, and fries were delicious though. Ironically, the sides to the steak were my highlight of the entire meal. Additional things we ordered can be seen in the accompanied pics. In summary, loved how beautiful the restaurant was but we wouldn't come again because the food does not justify the amount of money we spent.

My order was ready quickly, and everything tasted fresh and clean, which I appreciated. The ingredients tasted like quality produce, and it felt like a healthier lunch option. That said, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The chicken looked much crispier in the menu photo than what I received, and it was a little bland, even after adding sriracha. The cowboy caviar was good but lacked the kick I was expecting, especially since I thought it would have more jalapeño flavor. The broccoli was also softer than I prefer..I rather have it a bit crunchy instead of soft and mushy. The chicken portion was on the smaller side for me, and I was still hungry after finishing my bowl. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for a quick, fresh, healthier meal.

While the chicken was seasoned well, it was unimpressive. Not exceptionally crispy and I wasn't impressed with the portion size either.

I do not know but what I do know is i'd never have it again. Miso-disappointed Very bland and I think the miso gave it a strange aftertaste. Also, there were no waffles! I was looking forward to chicken and waffles and apparently waffles were no longer on the menu and they "didn't know when they were coming back". Lastly, even our lemonades were terrible. They came out of the fountain warm, and the ice it came with did nothing to help.

My two favorites are the Fillet Mignon and Beef Brisket Tacos both of which I've ordered and eaten more times than I care to admit. For non-meat eaters, Rosie also has delicious options on the menu for vegetarians and vegans; and you don't have to be either to recognize and enjoy delicious food without meat like the desserts; speaking of which Rosie is known for its gigantic muffins. When dining-in, I highly recommend saving room for a muffin or if you're too full at the end of your meal, order one or a few to-go. The banana walnut muffin is insanely good! Regarding ambiance, the restaurant is small, casual and quaint -- a place you'd expect to see in a small New England town that's also rated the best place to live in Connecticut.
