This Michelin star restaurant more than lived up to the hype! To celebrate my friend's graduation, we opted for a luxury tasting menu and could not have been more impressed. From the intro milk bread to the caviar sorbet to the fried bread pudding, each bite was perfectly crafted and absolutely delicious. The pork and lychee salad, as everyone says, is a huge standout! The pasta in papillote was hearty and rich, while the udon with clams was light and fantastic. The cod, while a little less flaky than I prefer, was served on a delicious sauce with perfect wasabi on the side. And the fried chicken was EXTRAORDINARY! Probably the best fried chicken I've ever had. Our server Jacob was fantastic: extremely patient, thoughtful, and funny as well. He made the night a huge success for us and took care of us extraordinarily well. Every staff member was extremely kind and constantly enhancing the experience without being overwhelming. The interior is beautiful, and I love the open kitchen. I hope I can come back one day and sit at the kitchen counter! I highly encourage you to go visit Rose's Luxury... but you better bring me with you!! read more

The stand out dish was the Pork and Lychee salad. It was tasty but I wish there was more pork. Be prepared to spend some money. The experience is what you're paying for "choose your adventure." Chris our server was super helpful and attentive, and even treated us to a special dessert. Resys only read more

This was such an amazing experience. From the moment you walk in, you feel the warm and cozies. The ambiance and decor is so unique and perfectly fits the kitschy vibe that they're going for. We ordered some drinks before beginning our choose our own adventure journey. The starter of milk bread and homemade butter was amazing, and every course seemed to be compared to that. Our server, Lindsey, was fantastic. She thoroughly explained everything, followed up consistently--a plate and glass were never empty. The servings were great and the food was so good. The colonne Pompeii and miso glazed cod were my favorite--the pasta was so fun to eat and had such a soft and sweet taste, and the cod was *chefs kiss*. The final touch was desert--wow! We ordered a bit of each with the orange dessert being my favorite--we were told it was the owners grandmothers recipe. It was fantastic. This was such a wonderful time. Not only was it unique and warm, it was outstandingly delicious. read more

We really loved the casual vibe and friendly staff. Also loved the 90s hiphop play list for us older folks. :-) MUST try the caviar with coconut ice cream. The combination of salty & sweet were just perfection. MUST try the pork and lychee dish. You won't regret it. I thought the fried crispy cauliflower "gift" dish was blah based on the caliber of this Michelin restaurant. I really liked that rose's luxury isn't as theatrical as other Michelin star restaurants. Overall highly recommend for a fantastic dining experience. read more

Whoa! Dining at this Michelin‑starred restaurant felt like stepping into a world where precision, creativity, and hospitality are treated as an art form. From the moment I arrived, the staff struck the perfect balance between warmth and professionalism, guiding the experience without ever overshadowing it. We met so many new faces with each presentation of each masterpiece. Reservations are hard to come by, so when my bestie reserved weeks in advance the only table available was bar seating! So bar seating it was! (It actually was not bad!) Each course was a thoughtful composition, visually striking, technically flawless, and layered with flavors that unfolded gradually rather than shouting for attention. The chef's commitment to seasonality was unmistakable; ingredients tasted as though they'd been chosen at their absolute peak. One standout dish combined unexpected elements in a way that felt both daring and harmonious, a reminder of why Michelin recognition is earned, not given. We will get into that later! The pacing of the meal was impeccable, allowing time to savor each plate while maintaining a sense of anticipation. Speciality drinks were recommend and elevated the experience. The ambiance was understated yet elegant, creating a calm backdrop that let the food take center stage. Every detail, from the lighting to the atmosphere felt intentional. Overall, this restaurant delivers more than a meal; it offers a curated journey. It's the kind of dining experience that lingers in your memory long after the final course, and one that fully justifies its Michelin star. Furthermore, for those that think small portions cannot fill you, WRONG! I was so stuffed and didn't eat all the pastas. Price: PreFixe menu $128 a person An added fee for compensation for the employees. 3.75% With drinks (several) this bday meal was well over $400! Not cheap but sooooo worth it! Thanks to my bestie for the best meal this bday! Before we get into the dishes, let me just say this: Most women don't like a man who has too many female friends (ew) they want someone exclusive, someone not for everyone. But this restaurant? It is for everyone, and somehow still makes you feel like the experience was crafted just for you. That's its magic. Let's get into it! Rose's bread service pull‑apart milk bread with miso honey butter. YUMMERS The pork and lychee salad the one & only! A must‑order!!!!! Super charred cabbage with champagne sauce & parmesan. Delicious! Pasta en papillote aromatic, delicate, and beautifully executed. YUM! Miso‑glazed sea bass , a tribute to chefs nobu & robuchon a fusion of two iconic dishes from French chef Joël Robuchon and Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa bold, refined, and unforgettable. To die for! read more

Rose's has been on my list for many many years. I happened to snag a reservation and we were also able to sit at the chefs table. First of all, service here is top notch. Plates cleared, drinks full, and anything else we could need was attended to promptly. The ambience is very chill yet upscale. You can wear jeans here or a nice dress. The food was incredible! The chef at P&P even brought us a special gnocchi and truffle dish which was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Some top dishes were the bread starter, Bloomin' green tomato, Raw "bbq" beef, tteokbokki pomodoro, and fried bread pudding. Ooo and that Strawberry Jam drink was delicious. Given the chance I'd certainly dine here again and highly recommend that you do. read more

Rose's Luxury - Lychee Salad - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I went to Rose's Luxury for my birthday and had an excellent time! One thing about roses is that you will never leave hungry. Rose's Luxury has a prix-fix 5 course menu that allows you to choose dishes either for the table or per person for each course. We started off with their bread service which was a truffle madeline which had a good balance between the umami of the truffle with the sweetness of the madeline dough. For our appetizers we got the pro and lychee salad and the asparagus with pineapple aioli. Both appetizers were excellent. The pork and lychee salad is one of Rose's Luxury's signature dishes for good reason. The pork pairs nicely with all the accompanying flavors like lychee, red onion, coconut milk and other garnishes. The asparagus with pineapple aioli was also really tasty. For pasta we got the colonne pompeii and the Tteokbokki with vodka sauce. These dishes had a sweeter profile. The Colonee Pompeii was made with Sweet Pea Cream with feta and mint. The feta helped balance out the sweetness of the cream based sauce and added a nice touch of saltiness. The Tteokbokki reminded me of the Korean version of the dish but elevated and was a nice addition to our meal. For our protein we ordered the fried pork which was a large pork cutlet that was battered, deep fried and topped with a honey mustard based sauce. I didn't eat too much of this at the restaurant because I was starting to get full but I enjoyed it when I had it for breakfast with a fried egg the next day. We also got the adult happy meal which is a wagyu cheeseburger and fries, topped with truffles and served over a cheese based sauce on a sizzling skillet. I loved the cheese sauce and our waitress was nice enough to pack up the leftovers to take home. For dessert we got the Tres Leches Cake which was made with coconut milk and added a nice twist to the classic recipe. Overall the service and food at Roses Luxury was great and I will definitely be back! read more

Boy, do I miss when Rose's Luxury used to do à la carte. We could pick the dishes we actually wanted without being locked into a $130 pre-set menu. The issue with the pre-set is that it's a mixed bag & the main entrees're forced to be shared with the table. If we want to share, we could do that ourselves lol. I also think the menu back then was simply more fun. The pork & lychee salad's still on the menu and has always been my favorite. I'm glad they didn't get rid of it, since it's by far the best dish here. The tteokbokki à la vodka is also a fun fusion that works well. The main entrées meant for sharing were mediocre for us - a letdown, as none of the options're particularly good nor creative. It feels like the meal starts strong with the pork & lychee salad and then slowly goes downhill from there. The service, however, is excellent & is what's really carrying their Michelin Star 1 status in my opinion. Overall, I don't think it's as good as it once was. Is it enjoyable? Sure. But is it worth $130? Absolutely not. read more

What an experience! The staff was so friendly and you can tell they really enjoy working at this restaurant. Every dish was brought out by a very enthusiastic member of the staff and they all presented it with a background story. The food was truly very original in taste which was what I enjoyed the most. The lychee salad was nothing I ever had before, full of flavors, and a combination of textures/flavors that I never would've thought to put together (it was delicious nonetheless!). Also, one of my family members does eat pork so they brought out a lychee salad with impossible meat so he would not be be left out - I thought that was so thoughtful! The ambiance was very quaint. It felt very down home south/bed and breakfast vibes. The bread pudding was also amazing (forgot to get a pic bc we couldn't stop eating it!) read more

I've been to Rose's a few times when it first opened so when the menu was à la carte. Now there's a preset menu and LITERALLY everything was a hit! No notes. Service was excellent and the food was definitely a surprise and delight one thing after another. The restaurant didn't feel so loud that we couldn't hear each other at the table which was nice because we got to discuss the food with one another as it came out. Definitely enjoyed the surprise dishes sent out and we tried everything on the menu without feeling stuffed. read more

Words cannot describe how incredible this experience was. From the second we sat down to the very last bite, every moment was perfection. The food... oh my... such great creative combinations THAT WORK. The coconut sorbet with caviar absolutely floored me, it should not have worked nearly as well as it did. The pork and lychee salad was divine, easily the best salad I have ever had. Every single thing we ate was a home run, the menu is an absolute smash. Most importantly, the service was as good as service can get. No matter who our server was on a particular dish, every single person was so friendly and personable, having a conversation and really getting to know their diners (especially our main server Rob!). I cannot recommend this place enough, we will certainly be back when we return to DC. Highly recommend sitting at the chefs counter and watching the action! read more

Throughly enjoyed this dinner! Especially for a special occasion, I would recommend. Why we got: - bread service (5/5) seriously delicious, how could it not be - pork and lychee salad (4/5) maybe overhyped but not our preferred appetizer - tuna tartare (5/5) love the combo of textures and flavors - pasta en papillote (4/5) delicious flavors, just didn't like the dried out parts on the edges - colonne Pompeii (5/5) creamy delicious - miso glazed sea bass (5/5) delectable and luscious - fried bread pudding (5/5) our favorite thing of the night, if you love a little heavy and chocolate desserts read more

Such an amazing restaurant and experience! It's very cozy and lowkey inside, the staff is incredibly warm and inviting, and it feels very un-pretentious for Michelin restaurant. I recommend sitting at the bar and doing the Choose Your Own Adventure menu. It's a lot of food and really worth it for the price ($128 per person so a nice special occasion dinner but for sure a lot of food). I also loved doing the wine pairing! All we tried were awesome and really elevated the experience (it's an additional $75 I believe). Some of the food highlights were the Pork and Lychee Salad (incredible!!), the Tuna Tartare Avocado, Cacio e Pepe, Fried Chicken, and all of the desserts (Strawberry Mousse and Fried Bread Pudding). It's a really worth it experience for a nice dinner that feels warm and leaves you full and wanting to come back! Worth it for the money and a super cool experience. read more

Roses Luxury in Capitol Hill has been on my bucket list for months. I finally got to check it off for my birthday. The first word that comes to mind to describe the meal is: FUN. Styled as a "choose your own adventure", as a party of five we tried everything on the menu. Every time a dish came out, we pulled out our cameras to capture its whimsical yet ornate presentation. We began with cubes of soft Japanese milk bread with miso garlic butter. It breaks apart into wispy cloud-like strands In our first course, our favorite was the pork & lychee salad--tender umami pieces and bursts of juicy sweetness, cut by the sharpness of raw onion. The restaurant brought out complimentary plates of roasted cauliflower, as if they were a long time friend. Look, I LOVE cauliflower. My night was already made. Out of the pastas, Colonne Pompeii was the star of the show. Majestic spirals turned green by sweet pea and mint, flourished with feta and violet flowers. We couldn't resist the miso glazed cod on a bed of decadent potato puree inspired by Chefs Nobu and Robuchon. For dessert, get the mousse. Dig past a layer of sliced strawberries to reach soft, airy whipped cream. As it melts in your mouth, surprise fireworks will burst -- ah, pop rocks! read more

Rose's Luxury - pastas - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Writing this review a bit late...but this restaurant was my first Michelin experience and it definitely lives up to the hype. My cousin treated me out to this place for my birthday and the service was top notch! We got seated at the bar and they gave some extra dishes and desserts for my birthday! At the end of the meal, they even gave us a tote bag!! As for the food, everything was absolutely delicious. The lychee salad was something different but the sweet and savory definitely worked. My favorite dishes for this menu rotation was definitely the sweet pea pasta and the tuna tartare with avocado. Presentation of the meals and service was spot on. I can't wait to come back and take others to try out this place! read more

We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Rose's Luxury last night. Not only was the food luxurious, but so was the service! Even though it's a Michelin rated restaurant, it feels approachable and not stuffy at all. The menu is quirky and fun. I mean... they have an adult Happy Meal and "slightly ridiculously sized desserts." Love it. I really appreciated how much they accommodated our food preferences. They even wrote me a menu to show what was spicy and not. It was very helpful! They also started our dinner with a complimentary Prosecco. Now the food. Their truffled Madeline's were divine. Super crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. The truffles didn't overpower them at all. Wish I had 2 more! I didn't know what to expect with their lychee and pork salad. Honestly, it sounded weird to me - but we gave it a shot. The flavor of the sweet lychee with the salty pork, crunchy garlic and peanuts, and herbs all worked well together. I'm not sure I would order it again, but I'm glad I tried it! We enjoyed their whimsical tuna tartare that looks like an avocado. For pasta, we enjoyed their "the Bear" pasta but the Colonne Pompeii was a standout. The pea purée sauce was so creamy and the long spiral pasta was fun to eat. For entrees, we had to try their Nobu/Robuchon cod and the adult happy meal. The cod was a bit tough, but flavorful. The potatoes were insanely rich! Good for a bite or 2, but I don't think I could eat more than that. The burger was delicious! The Waygu was smashed nicely with melty American cheese. But, there was a topping that was a bit too sweet for us on top. The fries were crispy and salty - like fast food fries. For dessert - we didn't love the sticky toffee pudding. It was dense and the spicy sauce on the side was strange to us. But, overall it was a really interesting New American meal!! read more

Our expectations for Roses may have been too high, as it was hyped up for us, saying it was a really great place for foodies. We actually found the food a little underwhelming. We did a tasting menu. There were probably five or six courses. There was nothing that really stood out. The service was excellent, and the ambience was great. We had to do a last-minute change from one night to another, and they were very accommodating. Overall we spent just under $500 for dinner for two with tip. I'm not sure it was worth the price. read more

I do not recommend this place as I do not think the price and quality of food are worth it. The Milk bread was dry and not authentic to true Japanese milk bread. The "Pull apart" of the bread was just 2 dry pieces that separated from a cold cube of bread, the butter was pretty good though. The pork lychee salad was different and tasty, what I expect for the price and Michelin star. Sadly, that was the only stand out dish, but wasn't enough to make it worth a visit. The super charred cabbage was extremely soggy, it had a very strong fishy flavor (bonito?), no smoky or charred flavor as the name describes. The strawberry pasta was room temperature. The Japanese eggplant parm was very underwhelming. There was a lack of seasoning, and came out very bland. We had asked for it to be vegetarian as we do not prefer bonito. They served it to us with the bonito. (they did offer to remake it! but we did not want to wait longer). We had a reservation and they were not ready, so we waited outside for around 10 minutes (they do not have an indoor waiting area). The service was extremely slow, we were there for over 2 hours for a few small dishes, and the chairs are extremely uncomfortable to sit in for that long. The server did offer to replace the dishes for something else, we felt it wasn't necessary, as the dishes we picked fit our preferences the most, but it was offered. It was $320 before tip and for the dishes we received it almost felt like a scam. Do not recommend, hope to save someone's time and money. read more

Have been dying to try Roses for probably the last decade and finally got to try it, but felt super let down by the food. It is honestly way too expensive for what it is and semi laughable that they have a Michelin star. We recently ate at Albi and in no world is this restaurant on the same level as that. This was $380 after tax and tip for two with a drink each and at most should be at the $250 price point. Service was excellent so no negatives on that. The food is fine, but lacks any oomph to take it over the hump to be great. Bread and butter; warm, but just in general fine. Tuna tartare in an avocado; what the heck, tuna fine I guess, but guac/avocado literally tastes like Sodexo out of a bag. The star pork and lychee salad; fine, but honestly tastes like any starter appetizer salad you could get at a half decent Thai restaurant. Pastas; fine. Roasted cauliflower; forgettable and nothing special. Miso cod; well cooked, but again nothing new or pushing boundaries. Yeah maybe I just don't get the appeal of this restaurant or its best days are behind it. I'd be less critical if it didn't have a Michelin star, but to rank it equivalent to Albi and Nakazawa is a crime. I don't recommend coming. read more

Just had dinner with a friend the other night. We hadn't been since they changed to a reservation system and a $128/pp prix fixe menu (Aka- "choose your own adventure). The fun energy and low light/candlelight are still great - and they've added fun twinkle lights for the holidays. Love the chef's table option - and it was humming Wednesday night at 630pm. We really liked our initial waiter - he was full of suggestions, fun historical facts for the restaurant and its menu and chef. The one who took our order was less fun - no suggestions - but that's fine. Really did NOT like the change to prix fixe, though. Super limits your options. Some people complain about the small portion, but DO NOT worry. You'll leave full. The small portions build and build. If you had any bigger, you'd be stuffed. THAT SAID -- the price is quite high for what you get. 1ST COURSE: Super flavorful truffled madeleines - 1 each - with these delightful crispy edges. 2ND: The appetizer section is great - you each get 1 item of 4, and there's a good selection. We chose the popular Tuna Tartare Stuffed Inside an Avocado. It was like yummy tuna with guacamole. Even better was the Jumbo Green Asparagus w/ Pineapple Aioli - the asparagus roasted to perfection - and those flour dusted, deep fried Jalapeños -- all of it just amazing. 3RD: The Pasta Course. You MUST get the Colonne Pompeii - the creamy sweet pea, mint, feta sauce wrapped around & tucked into swirling, large fusilli-like pasta (made at a special place in NJ) - - SO good. Our 2nd one was an interesting pasta w/ a Korean twist called Tteokbokki à la vodka. A punchy, spicy-sweet, bouncy, small gnocchi-like pasta. Super interesting. AND --- the kitchen surprise, the chef's take on caccio e pepe. Good - but really oily & rich. 4TH: Here was the rub ----- they make 2 people order ONE dish for an entree. Odd. We didn't really agree. We would've taken mostly any seafood dish over the pork, but we had not heard great things about the cod --- and it's just a 5OZ portion. SO -- we settled on the pork tenderloin -- pounded thin, rolled in panko (or similar), deep fried (again, not our fave), and sauce that appeared to be made w/ a stone ground mustard, béchamel, crystal hot sauce. It was ok. A small salad accompanied the dish / served in a tea cup. ‍ And -- deep fried lemon pepper pigs ears. Oddly tasty - though some pieces were WAY too salty. 5TH: "The Slightly Ridiculously-sized Desserts. And they are. Again - 1 dish only for 2 people. We couldn't agree. I wanted cornbread fried ice cream, but I settled for my friend's choice- the Coconut Tres Leches Cake. It was good - nicely soaked in the rich milky goodness and topped with chocolate shavings. Interesting. All in all a good meal, but the lack of choice in entrees means we likely won't return. Bring back more choice!! read more

We came to Rose's with high hopes--curious to understand the hype, I even watched the documentary afterwards. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the Michelin star reputation. While there were a few bright spots--like the coconut ice cream with caviar and their longtime signature salad--most dishes felt underwhelming. Some of the offerings lean heavily on truffle, to the point of distraction. Of the three pastas, the pea version was over-sauced and lacked depth, and the vodka-sauce gnocchi was rubbery, we did enjoy the sauce. The avocado tuna dish, while visually appealing, was basic. Even the tres leches dessert was dense and disappointing. Drinks were average, service was great. The burger was decent but comparable to a solid food truck offering; the fries, forgettable. Despite some creativity, the overall meal didn't justify the $250 per person price tag. It might be for others, but sadly, it wasn't for us. The space and atmosphere was solid. read more

Five out of five for Rose's! We've been meaning to go to Rose's Luxury for the longest time and we were finally able to make it out -- may I say, I was IMPRESSED! The overall vibe was hip. For just over $100 per person, the experience felt young & fun, more so than your traditional sit-down restaurant. Loved that they have their Lychee salad as their staple. Flavor combo was something I have never expected, yet worked so well. I wouldn't even know how to explain the layers and layers of flavor that work fabulously together. My second favorite dish of the night was their avocado tuna salad. Shaped like half an avocado, the salad felt like a tuna roll in my mouth!! Fresh fish, too. Their pasta dishes were all really great, their cocktails were yummy & strong-ish. They even packed us a dessert dish to go, after a dessert dish!! All in all, we had such a unique experience at Rose's Luxury and tasted some creative dishes we would never attempt to recreate at home. They switch up their menu, so I would certainly love to be back! Compliments to the chef!!! read more

We haven't been here in a long time. The style has changed a bit-- no more a la carte, but also no more waiting in line because you can make reservations. And we were able to make a reservation just a week in advance (albeit the early bird dinner timeslot on a Saturday). The food was still carefully thought out and very good. They asked for allergies and very specifically ensured we knew what we could/could not eat based on our allergies -- yesterday I learned that togarashi (a Japanese seasoning) tends to have orange peel, which is what I'm allergic to.... The non-alcoholic lychee lemon drink was really refreshing and not too sweet. Very well done. 1) I missed their soft rolls with butter, something I always loved and remember. But the truffled Madeleine was incredible. Crispy, slightly moist, truffle flavor. 2) I chose the pork and lychee salad-- they used to bring this out regardless of whether you ordered it. Now, if you've been here you know what to expect. Same wild combination of flavors. Loved it. My spouse chose the tuna tartare stuffed avocado-- that was pretty good too. Tuna mixed with tortilla chips, topped with smashed avocado. On the mushy side but the tortilla chips for texture help. This wasn't on the menu but they also brought out charred cauliflower on a bed of yogurt I think? That was very good. 3) we were to each choose a pasta but we both wanted the lamb Manfredi so we didn't share and each got our own. I had a LITTLE bit of buyers remorse because the calamari shaped pasta looked really good, but this and the other option were meatless and we have meat mentality lol 4) here we wanted different things but were supposed to share... And we asked if it was possible for us to both choose the course. We had to pay extra for one of the courses, but they made it happen. I got the fried pork which was like a schnitzel with a slightly tangy sauce on top. I loved the tea cup with the salad in it. I wasn't a huge fan of the fried pig ears but my husband loved them. He got the adult happy meal- he loved the burger; got the truffle upgrade. I loved the ranch-dusted fries, and especially dipped in the cheese. 5) we picked the "least sweet" and small portioned dessert -- the corn bread ice cream. It surprisingly came in a tea cup- 'like a latte.' The whipped foam on top was slightly tangy like a sour cream, and the ice cream was buttery, and the chunks of corn bread went perfectly. Really happy with the choice. Then for our anniversary they brought out a coconut sorbet (not sure if they said sorbet --it might've been an ice cream) with a candle. And it was the most creamy thing, great with the fruit and a little bits of stuff I don't remember on the bottom. Presentation was lovely. Glad my husband thought about Rose's I don't think I've been since before COVID, and the food and service is as good as ever. Definitely deserving of a Michelin star or more in my opinion. read more

We sat at the chef's table for their 12th birthday celebration, and the experience was absolutely incredible. The waiter was engaging, knowledgeable, and made the night even more special. The dishes were creative and unique -- we even had a lobster soup with popcorn. My favorite was the gnocchi, which was outstanding. It is definitely a pricey meal and more of a special-occasion spot, but I would absolutely go back, especially since their menu changes every month with new dishes. read more

Had been hearing good things about Rose's for a while and finally decided to try it after snagging an early dinner reservation. Although quite pricey at ~$130 per person without taxes, I would definitely say it was a unique and unforgettable dining experience. Service is fantastic - our server marked up our menus with options for making every course vegetarian-friendly. We were given blankets as it was a bit chilly inside - small touches like these made the service feel special. The menu is a fixed 6-course progression, and all the courses are decently portioned. We started off with the bread - brown and white twisted challah with flavored butter. The bread was amazing - crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, chewy all around - so good! Some of the best restaurant bread I've ever had. The second course were two unique salads, both very different - and they were able to customize one of them to have veggie sausage instead of pork which was awesome. Also, there as a seasonal dish - the strawberry pasta - that was absolutely INCREDIBLE. I had never tasted anything like it, highly recommend to get it if it's available. Finally, dessert was splendid and satisfied my sweet tooth - they even gave us a tiny piece of the other dessert because we couldn't choose! Overall, highly recommend Rose's Luxury for a special night out or even just because - it's an unforgettable experience and not at all "snobby" or fussy, just very welcoming and tasty. read more

What an experience! Service was excellent and came from all angles, everyone in the restaurant was eager to provide excellent service. My only complaint is that it was a bit drafty in the there. Ambience is fun and energetic. We were wondering if there was a dress code, there is not one. Choose your own adventure was the motto. Apparently 3 people is the perfect number of diners as it optimizes the number of dishes you can order. The warm Madelines were a great start. Lychee and pork salad, grilled cucumber, cabbage, tuna Tatare, califlower were all fabulous, new flavors and combinations of flavors and textures. My 12 year old was able to enjoy this, says alot regarding the flavors. Pasta was perfectly cooked and again was completely new flavor combinations. Entrees were exciting right down to the fried pig ears that we couldn't stop laughing over. Save room for dessert! Drinks were perfectly constructed! My family highly recommends this place read more

We came here for a special occasion after hearing great reviews but left disappointed (given the Michelin star.) The interior is very small - feels like you are packed like sardines, and it looked like everyone was celebrating a birthday. The tasting menu was good but more on the carb heavy side. (I expect more unique protein with the price tag.) The portions were petite. We only felt moderately full after the second complimentary dessert. (Other Michelin star restaurants in the area do better with portions and protein on the tasting menu.) We left with a bag of complimentary dry pasta which tasted average. It felt random and would have preferred no souvenir. read more

Was only able to secure upstairs bar dining, but didn't realize we had to sit at the bar itself, instead of at a neighboring table. The food itself was good. Loved the bread! Service was ok. It felt like there was a long time in between dishes, unevenly paced. I really enjoyed the pork and lychee salad, the blooming green onion was ok, but wouldn't order again. Same with the pasta en papillote, just ok. The tteokbokki pomodoro was also very good. My drink was really good. I'd come back to give it another shot, but maybe not right away. read more

Rose's Luxury - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST experience I've had in DC dining scene so far. Rose's Luxury offered a tapas-like experience, with a set price per person, each person picking a handful of dishes. Since the menu is on the smaller side, if you can come with about 4 people, you should be able to try everything on the menu. It was just the two of us, so we got to try half the menu and every single dish was a HIT. The adult happy meal even came with an alcoholic beverage which I thought was fun! Chef created flavor profiles I have never had before and it was definitely a one of a kind experience. I truly enjoyed it, and I didn't mind spending $$$ for the kitchen team's effort in making such creative dishes. Where else would I be able to try such food?! Rose's was impressive and I will certainly be back again once the menu refreshes. Thank you for a great night out. It was memorable! read more

My friend and I were able to make a Friday 5:30 PM bar seating reservation a few days in advance this past week. We were excited to splurge on a nice meal while catching up. Both of us haven't been to Rose's Luxury and have heard great things about it! As part of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" prix fixe menu (priced at 128 per person), the two of us were able to pick our own appetizer (four options), our own pasta (three options), and shared an entree (two options). ROSE'S BREAD SERVICE We got two truffled madeleines each and they had an intense umami flavor baked in that made the perfect bites to get us excited for what there is to come. APPETIZER: THE PORK AND LYCHEE SALAD The pork and lychee salad is the only item on their menu that they ALWAYS have because it's what put them "on the map", according to our server. And I've only heard phenomenal things about the salad from friends who have been to Rose's Luxury. Unfortunately, due to dietary restrictions, we omitted peanuts and cilantro, which is 2 of 15 ingredients. Our server told us to mix all the ingredients up as much as possible -- "the uglier it looks, the better it will taste" -- which ended up being true! I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the savory, minced pork went with the lightly sweet, mellow flavors of lychee. The salad was reminiscent of Thai salad appetizers I've had, with tropical sweet and tanginess of coconut and lychee, nuttiness from the curry (?) sauce, the acidity from the raw red onions, and a slight spice that really tied everything together. This really was a phenomenal appetizer that's unique and definitely worth trying. My only qualm was that it was too salty, especially when I got to the bottom of the salad. APPETIZER: SUPER CHARRED CABBAGE I highly recommend cutting up the cabbage and mixing it well with the sauce and parmesan because... again, it can be really salty. This was generously topped with shredded parmesan cheese, almost like snow on the mountain peak. The sauce champagne was creamy and rich, and we really liked the flavors and textures overall. PASTA: ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICH PASTA If you're fan of the show "The Bear", this is Rose's take on the Italian Beef Sandwich, but in pasta form. The mafaldine pasta was the perfect al dente and the squiggly shape holds the meat sauce well. The pickled vegetables added a nice tartness. Overall, this was a very rich pasta that filled us up immensely. PASTA: COLONNE POMPEII If you think pasta is just either white or red sauce, think again! This is a modern take on making English chilled pea soup into a sauce for pasta. The pasta is "Colonne Pompeii", which is my first time hearing and eating it and is essentially a giant fusilli. The crevices of the pasta held the sauce and seasonings well, and it was generously topped with fresh herbs like mint, that gave it a very fresh and earthy flavor. Personally, we liked this pasta more since it's more unique, innovative, and not as heavy. ENTREE: MISO GLAZED COD A LA CHEFS NOBU & ROBUCHON The miso cod was in a pool of potato puree (which was probably more butter than potato) and a ring of chive oil, topped with a bok choy half with a dab of freshly grated wasabi on the side (which helps to cut the fattiness of the dish). The miso glazed cod was soft and tender, but the miso flavor wasn't strong. The potatoes were super creamy and addicting, but the chive oil really drove the dish home with its intense aromatic flavor. DESSERT: CORNBREAD FRIED ICE CREAM Lastly, we finished with dessert, which we enjoyed immensely. We both love cornbread, and the buttermilk pie bits added the flaky crust texture in every bite, and the corn was strong but not overpowering. Overall, pretty light dessert. This was definitely one of our favorite courses, and we'd highly recommend. The service was phenomenal and attentive, and the pacing of food being served was perfect. Additionally, we were given a few things on the house since we were celebrating a birthday. We enjoyed a caramelized cauliflower (?) in between the bread service and our first appetizer, which was crunchy and savory, with a creamy sauce that was topped with a sweet crunch that was delicious. After dessert, we were given a birthday dessert of chestnut cake (reminiscent of the texture of mooncake paste) that was a delightful surprise. Every dish here was unique and interesting, but my only qualm is that it was a bit too salty. The food was also very rich and heavy (truly a "luxury" experience), so that's my only warning for any first timers! read more

This is going to be a long one, but trust me--it's worth every word of praise I'm about to give! My partner took me to Rose's Luxury for my birthday last year, and let me tell you--it was a time! This Michelin-starred gem in D.C. exceeded every expectation, and I'm still thinking about it to this day. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Every single dish was a masterpiece, with flavors so perfectly balanced they felt almost magical. Some standouts? The coconut ice cream with caviar (yes, you read that right), the Korean-style ribs, the Spring Lamb Manfredi, and of course, their famous Pork and Lychee Salad. There were more, but honestly, I lost track in the best way possible--each bite was just that good. And I have to give a huge shoutout to our waitress, Ridley. She was absolutely phenomenal--kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. She went out of her way to make my birthday feel extra special, and her service was truly top-tier. When I say 10/10 across the board, I mean it. Atmosphere? Impeccable. Service? Flawless. Food? A dream. I could go on and on, but instead, I'll just say this: Do yourself a favor, make a reservation, and experience Rose's Luxury for yourself. You won't regret it. read more

i had really high expectations since i've only heard glowing remarks about this place, and it was my moms first time at a michelin star restaurant. the service was pretty good, nothing to complain about here. they were very attentive and friendly. i do wish they took time to speak and explain each dish & craft slowly since we are unfamiliar with culinary terms and because english is not my mom's first language. but, when it comes to the food, we were underwhelmed. everything we got was pretty salty, besides the miso cod and the madeleine that we started with... we found ourselves glugging so much water to balance the salty flavors. for the price point i wouldn't go back for seating i recommend getting main dining or outdoor patio especially for non-date occasions because it's otherwise very dim lighting and hard to appreciate what you are consuming read more

We went for a birthday dinner and sat in the private room. It felt at times like we had been forgotten back there; for instance the pasta course was delayed for 20ish minutes and there was no communication about what was going on and our drinks were not refilled that entire time. The main course was also very lackluster, the eggplant parmigiana was soggy and needed seasoning and the charred cabbage looked and tasted like something that had been regurgitated. The pork and lychee salad was good, as was the dessert course. The cocktails were delicious also. Overall, we had a good time, but our entire group felt that it did not live up to the hype and was expensive for what it was. read more

Went here years ago pre COVID and wasn't extremely impressed, but went again recently and it was wonderful!! Amazing food, definitely get the extra burger. Love the play on classic food staples. Ambiance is very casual for a Michelin, but makes it more comfortable and relaxing. Will return! read more
