What an experience from the moment we arrived. The restaurant decor is a feast for your eyes! We did not have reservations and they only had a table outside on a 90 degree day. My hubby had been working outside all day and asked if we could wait for an inside table. The host personally went and cleared/reset a table for us. My husband tried to tip him and he would not accept it. Our server was Cassandra and she was amazing. After dinner and dessert we asked for some recommendations amd she had some great ones. We had the lamb, a filet and a ny strip. All were cooked perfectly. The standout for me was the fried chicken. You can add a breast or thigh to any meal. I had a thigh and it was one of the best I have had. Crispy, tasty and the chicken itself was tender and juicy. When I come back I am definitely ordering the chicken! If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. There is free valet parking, which is helpful since there is not a lot of parking. The valet were hustling! Did I mention the heat? Don't forget to tip them. The faster they move the higher the tip in my opinion. read more

I have never been in love with an ice cube, but here I am still dreaming about the clean subtle taste of my martini. Such a smart way to chill a drink without watering it down. Bonus points for the colours and addition to mint for flavor. Note on food: biscuits are lovely, chicken fried cauliflower is inspired. Pickles and sauces were sweet and disappointing (but nice of the to supply vinegar for the calamari) read more

Based on the great reviews, hubs and I went to Rose Villa for our 30th anniversary dinner. Love the old house the restaurant is in and the history behind it! The wine selection was ok. We started with the deviled egg appetizer which was great - the best part of the meal! Our server was very pleasant and answered questions we had about the menu. Hubs had the Rose Villa burger (no bun) and was not impressed - the brioche bun may be needed to pull it altogether. I had the shrimp and grits and taste was great at first but it was overly oily in my opinion - I could only eat about half. read more

I love the victorian decor of this place. It was built in the 1800s and you definitely feel a part of that era as you roam around the r hallways and rooms. I enjoyed their southern breakfast greatly ! I ordered the Brabant potato hash n eggs with biscuit and morhay sauce, peppers, onions and tomato relish. I enjoyed a nice hot cup of coffee and which it came in a kettle to serve myself. they are known for their chicken and waffle plate so I will definitely come back for another brunch. The staff was friendly and attentive. It was nice to have a room to ourselves. read more

The food and staff are great!! The only critique or bitch would be they need to cut some of the customers off before they go too far with the alcohol! The last few times we have been there unfortunately there seems to be that one person getting loud in the bar area - other than that the appetizers are scrumptious and the food portions are spot on read more

Took us too long to try this place. My new favorite restaurant in the Daytona/Ormond Beach area. Arrive just before 3 to learn their restaurant closes from 3-4pm, so my wife and I saddled up to the bar for some cocktails before an early dinner. Molly is my new favorite bartender holding down the fort in a deliciously cute bar area. The rest of the dining areas (and upstairs speakeasy) is a delight on the eyes as well. Though this isn't just my new favorite restaurant around because of Molly and the decor, but rather the food (of which we ordered far more items than we should) was delectable. Our served Cassandra as she kept our plates coming and coming throughout our meal. Will most certainly be back. read more

Some dining experiences are transformative. Once in a while you go to a restaurant where the food, the service and the decor all line up to take your breath away and you know you'll always remember it. The Rose Villa Southern Table and Bar was not just the best place I visited on a recent stay in the Port Orange/Daytona area, it's one of the best places I've eaten period and all I did was lunch. We stopped in without reservations but they found space for us outside on the front porch. It was right after Christmas and I have rarely seen a restaurant do it better. Cotton in the trees and bushes to simulate snow, classic Holiday decor everywhere you looked. Every detail was amazing! Inside was like stepping into 19th century home that was elegant and regal. The only thing better than the atmosphere was the food. Our Pork Belly Bruschetta was elegantly presented and just melted in your mouth. Salty, sweet, robust, just incredible and a great recommendation from our waiter. My wife and I split the Shrimp Po Boy along with a Chicken sandwich and there were both just next level compared to anytime we've had these before. If you're in the area, if you're within an hour, if you want to do a day trip, build it around the Rose Villa Southern Table and Bar. I can't wait to try their dinner. and bring others to enjoy this truly top-notch dining experience. This is what dining out should be. I highly recommend you give them a try. read more

I decided to take my colleagues here for an appreciation dinner of sorts. The service was stellar! Knowledgeable, friendly, gracious staff made my dining experience very memorable. I ordered a crab cake and it was tasty, although I might have preferred mine cooked more. I also ordered shrimp and grits. Again, it was tasty, but I wished the grits weren't drowning in the gravy. It was really too much gravy for my tastes. The antique dining room in this historic home was a unique environment in which to have dinner. Give this place a try! read more

My husband and I decided to finally try Rosa Villa for Christmas Eve. I made reservations several weeks ago, we arrived early but our table was ready for us which was on the front porch (I reserved outdoor dining). The restaurant was beautifully decorated and we were greeted by our server. We ordered a bottle of Cabernet as we checked out the menu. We heard how good their southern fried chicken was so of course we had to try. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles and my husband ordered the southern fried chicken which came with collard greens, mashed potatoes and gravy and he also ordered a side of Mac and cheese. Our food was delicious, the chicken crispy, juicy and the best flavor! My husband raved so much about the collard greens, he said best he's had. We definitely will be back! Perfect Christmas Eve dinner!! read more

To start, Patrick the server was the best server I've ever had. Funny, nice, kind, attentive, happy, and much more. I went with my mom and a family friend. We all got different items. I had the white bean sauté. Very yummy and filling. While my mom had the lobster mac and cheese. She wished the lobster was not just on top but in the sauce too. The style of the restaurant was very unique and antique without being gaudy. I loved seeing the outdoor holiday decor. Will for sure come back. read more

As always, a great time here at Rose Villa! Nicky was my server and bartender this time. He was so awesome and personable. Recommendations were on point! We opted for the pork chop & grits and the shrimp & grits! Great combo! Cannot pass up the scallop and deviled egg app! Always a must. Thanks for always delivering an experience I look forward to when I come to the beach! read more

Rose Villa is a not to be missed staple in Ormond Beach! Our night meeting out of town friends was absolute perfection. Drinks at the bar started our experience... shout out to the bartender, Maddy! She made my wife and I our classic "French Martini" and my "Godfather" masterfully crafted. Then, onto dinner... our server, Lindsey, nailed it! This was not her first rodeo. Made us feel right at home. Paced out our meal, never made us feel rushed. Our dinners were top notch as customary, kudos to the chef and kitchen staff! The food was delicious. Thank you to Savannah, hostess. Another perfect dinner! We will see you again soon! read more

The venue is beautiful as a well kept/restored Victorian home. Our large party was welcomed warmly and our waiter Wellington was quite charming. The cocktails were fun and delicious. The Deviled Eggs were as good as I had heard with the pepper relish an added flavor. The fried chicken portion was huge and those in our party that ordered that entrée were pleased. The Bouillabaisse was served warm and would have been much better if hot. It was ok and I would not order again if I returned. Unfortunately, while I do enjoy a slower pace between entrees, our wait between appetizer and main was excessively long. For predinner drinks and only 2 courses our time there stretched to around 2 1/2 hours with most of it waiting. Price for us (2) was $112 with tip for 2 drinks, an appetizer and 2 entrees. read more

We had been to Ormond Beach several times but never dreamed of the charm hiding behind this historical building. Since it's Christmas time, the building is done up like a gingerbread house. The house is decorated nicely all over including the outside porch front and back. We could not ask for a more beautiful day to enjoy sitting on the front porch with the sun warming us while we got to enjoy the various selections from their brunch menu. Lobster Fried green tomatoes. One of the best I have ever enjoyed , Mac and cheese. Creamy and delicious, Pork Belly Biscuits, comfort in a plate and goat cheese grits, like a warm blanket on a chilly day. Their drinks were also delicious and creative to match the season. The staff was very attentive, friendly and informative. Don't miss this gem on Granada Blvd. read more

Reservations for a family birthday celebration at one of our favorite restaurants Rose Villa made for a great celebration.

I have been going to Rose Villa for a number of years and have had reservations for a Tuesday night dinner in the bar down stairs. When I got there on Tuesday my usually reserved table was taken. I then noticed that there were no seats available at the bar standing only no stools. When it came time for my reservation the two remaining tables were full and I didn't have a table set aside for me. The bartender was new a Goth like person dressed in black and had two different colored hair red and black she looked to be around 24 years old. She was not very personable and as a bartender she should have been more personable and attentive. I had one glass of wine that I didn't finish and left with my friend as there were no stools available. I have been going almost every Tuesday for 6 years and now I'm looking for another restaurant lounge to go to. I'm finished with Rose Villa. read more

Rose Villa Southern Table & Bar - Outside - Southern Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

We had two amazing meals on our recent vacation to the Daytona area and Rosa Villa was one of them. We visited on a weekday after the holidays for lunch and were surprised to only have tables available outside without a reservation. They were expecting a large party inside but we still had fantastic service. We sat on the beautifully decorated front porch and the weather was perfect. I started with a holiday special cocktail, it was very strong with most of the cinnamon flavor settled at the bottom. It was a good old fashioned but the holiday flavors with a bit overwhelmed. After that, every bite we had was fantastic. We ordered the belly and biscuits appetizer, do not miss this one! Cooked perfectly and combined with wonderful flavors of the tree fruit chutney along with the fluffy biscuits. Our main choices, the shrimp po'boy and the Charleston chicken were also delicious. I really loved my choice of their sweet slaw side as well. This Ormond Beach restaurant is not too far from Jacksonville and worth a drive! read more

I've had excellent experiences before with dinner, but lunch was disappointing. It was oddly quiet with no music. It was 50 minutes before any food came out, the fries were cold, and instead of honey butter with the waffles, we were accidentally given mayonnaise. Service was polite but tentative, I overhead that they were not understaffed, it was just "always like this." This restaurant is so cute, a historic building with a speakeasy bar and it was beautifully decorated for dinner. I'd give it another shot for dinner but not lunch. read more

Again for an event going to rosevilla. This time for my birthday. Reservations made and a request to the absinthe room. This place is so nice. Started off with thier biscuits and shaved Brussel sprouts with a Ceasars dressing. Very good. Candyce even tried it and she liked it. Main course was jambalaya for and candyce had the filet mignon. So tender she was just needed her butter knife. Both cources were great. Dessert was lava cake because of my birthday. A very nice night all tge way around. read more

Come check out this beautiful two story restaurant where the flavor and color both pop. You can choose from sitting outside, upstairs, at the bar or in the dinning room.

I would come back again read more

We went to Rose Villa for my birthday and had the loveliest dinner! The atmosphere is charming and cozy with a touch of vintage southern elegance--it really made the night feel special. We started with the soup flight, which was such a fun and flavorful way to begin. For our mains, we had the Rose Villa burger and the bourbon BBQ pork chop--both were absolutely delicious. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and everything was cooked just right. To top it off, there was live music--a man singing with the most beautiful voice, which added such a warm, personal touch to the whole experience. Service was also really good--friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. Highly recommend for a date night or special occasion. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

My boyfriend and I love this place especially at Christmas time. Last year we met there to see eachother for the first time after 23. Last night we went there again for dinner to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. The food is delicious. The ambiance is magical at Christmas time. They deck it out like a gingerbread house. The service is great and the staff is so nice. We love the fried green tomatoes. Have not had anything yet that wasn't good. They also have special holiday drinks. I highly recommend this place. read more

Good: Food and service was good. Bad: Made reservations two week out yet they sat out group of 12 on porch in winter with temperature at 57 after constantly requesting to be seated inside. Heather the events host was inflexible. There was plenty of seating available inside. One heater outside ran out of propane. Heaters were also waist high, at best it warmed your back. Half the group was wearing their sweaters and jackets. Food portions were small unless you got fried chicken. Cocktails were good but wasn't boozy. Apps didn't come out until they took second round of drink orders. Valet misplaced car keys. I wouldn't recommend this place for events or large party. read more

The food and service were both excellent. The history within the building was fascinating

We recently visited this establishment before attending a concert at the Peabody Auditorium, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The drinks were delightful, and the wine selection was impressive. The atmosphere was reminiscent of a Southern mansion, providing a warm and inviting setting. We would definitely return to this charming place. Pork chop is awesome and someone else in the party had the famous fried chicken, he commented it was a little salty. read more

I highly recommend it! read more
