    This place is a hidden gem! Came here with no expectations but left with a new place to go as a regular! Food was absolutely amazing "big shout out to the chef" and to the wonderful hostess who made us feel like family. The place was extremely cozy and gave just the right vibes to make you feel at home. The drinks are exceptional and I will definitely not only recommend this place but will be back!

    Rosie's is the best! The food, drinks and service are top notch. I love that you can start or end in the bar area with TVs but dine in the dining room for a nice sit down dinner. Drinks and wine by the glass are very reasonably priced and they have a great selection. The dinner menu has something for everyone and they always have specials. Servers are knowledgeable, attentive and go above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of. For example, even though we didn't order dessert, they brought out a little dessert with a sparkler for a birthday. There are a mix of dates, families and large groups so you can really come here for any occasion and I would definitely recommend that you do.

    I went with my dad for dinner a few weekends ago and had a really great experience. This is hands down his favorite place to eat in the area. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff was so friendly. We sat at the bar and had fun chatting with the bartenders and other guests while we ate. It was such a lovely dinner out!

    The food was great! I had the short rib with mash and subbed the asparagus for broccolini. It was a nice portion size. My fiancé had the halibut which was also a nice serving and was quite delicious. We had shared a few apps including the tuna on crispy rice (average) and the bang bang shrimp (great) we also got the scallops over rizzo for an app and they were pretty good! Mike, our server was very attentive and accurate. No dish was messed up at our table for 8. We had a nice window seat in the corner upstairs which was scenic and the Resturant itself was very lively. Only negative I would say is that we valeted the car and had to awkwardly walk thru the bar room which I believe there is another entrance but I'm not 100% sure. 5 min wait for the table which is not bad for a table of 8. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos. I would definitely go back though.

    Everything at Rosie's was spectacular! Definitely recommend reservations on the weekend as it gets busy. Appetizer had coconut shrimp, such big tasty fresh shrimp! The special wasabi crusted Chilean sea bass was great, lightly fried and perfect amount of spice. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Noise level does get loud on a busy Saturday night.

    Pork chop - sooo good!
    Chelsea N.

    Everything at Rosie's was fantastic! The atmosphere is modern beachy and we came here for a birthday celebration with 4 people. Service was quick and very friendly. Casual - fancy dress. Food was fantastic! The coconut shrimp was soooo good and tasted fresh. I had a great pork chop for dinner, seasoned and flavored perfectly. The waiter said it was sous vide style which made it tender and moist. One of the best restaurants I've tried in this area.

    First time here. Let me tell I will be back again. Everything was delicious. Server was very attentive. Lighting was perfect.

    Bread

    I am impressed!! The food is delicious and the establishment is beautiful inside. I lived in the area my entire life but this was my first time dining at Rosie's. For appetizers, we tried the honey whipped ricotta, lobster mac & cheese, coconut shrimp and the French onion soup. All were incredible. The star of the show is the BREAD! It is so incredibly soft, warm and tasty. Everyone also raved about the entrees. We got two of the specials (short ribs and steak) and they were fantastic. Our server was attentive and kind. The food and drinks all came out pretty quick. Great experience!

    Cookie's homemade pignoli pie..... A must get!!!!
    Priscilla M.

    What a gem! Love the specials cocktails & the short rib pasta is one of my favs. Tried the fabulous greeter Cookie's homemade pignoli pie for dessert! Absolute perfection! Server was super cool & decor reminds me of back home in NYC! Can't wait to come back!

The large pavilion is nicely appointed, as are the restrooms, with wrought-iron tables and chairs, beautiful landscaping, tall grasses and hibiscus, and nice background music. It really is a lovely place to sit. Unfortunately, that's where most of the positives ended. Our waitress took about 15 minutes to return after seating us. When I asked how the octopus tacos were prepared, I was told, "It's chopped up in pieces and put in a taco." When I asked how it was seasoned: "There's a bunch of stuff on it. It's blackened." I ordered the octopus appetizer and a baked potato as my dinner, Mom ordered the broiled platter, and we shared fried calamari as an appetizer. I specifically asked that my octopus and potato come with Mom's entrée. Ten minutes later, the waitress returned to tell me the octopus was an appetizer and suggested I order something bigger. I explained again that the octopus and potato were intentionally my dinner. The calamari arrived hot and nicely seasoned, but without the sauce we requested. We also never received the bread being served to other tables. Our entrées arrived about an hour after we sat down. My potato was missing and had to be requested again. When it arrived, it was microwaved--not what I expected for a $6 à la carte baked potato. The octopus was unfortunately inedible. It was so tough and rubbery I could barely get a fork or butter knife through it. When I explained this to our waitress, her response was, "Do you want him to cook it more, or do you want a different knife?" A more experienced waitress later came over and graciously offered me something else. By then Mom had finished her platter, which she enjoyed, and nothing else appealed to me, so I declined. She did remove the octopus from our bill, which I appreciated. I don't normally leave negative reviews over poor service because everyone can have an off day. But when the food itself is inedible and the service compounds the experience, that's different. What makes this especially disappointing is that I've stopped here before to buy seafood to bring home and cook. Based on this dining experience, however, I wouldn't return to eat at the restaurant--and I genuinely feel badly saying that. A knowledgeable, attentive wait staff can make a tremendous difference, particularly when something from the kitchen goes wrong.

I ordered the crab cake sandwich; my husband ordered the fried flounder sandwich. Both came with housemade fries. Fries were piled high; the flounder was so big we think it may have been a whole fish! The crab cake was fluffy backfin (VERY light on the "filler"-yay!) with a beautiful crust. I still had on my tiara and got lots of "Happy Birthday!" Wishes from staff as they passed by. We were too full for dessert, so we passed.

If you find yourself at the shore and only have time for one restaurant, this is the ONE! Others may have incorporated the concept of trawler-to-table, where restaurant-owned vessels harvest the daily menu specials, but AOF has perfected it. They have an adjoining fish market where you can review the catch and board of fare, and see what appeals to you. I was very impressed with the freshness, variety, and quality (including many deep water cold Atlantic species including cod, ling, monkfish, plus mussels, oysters, etc.) Service was exemplary, execution was flawless, and taste was sublime.
