Rose's Luxury was on our list for a while. A few weeks ago, we decided to be brave and stand in line for more than 1h on a sunny Saturday.
Helena's take: I don't get the hype.
Desserts are good. Small plates are promising but disappointing in the end. Inconsistency is a big flaw in such a small menu. The food was not mind-blowing.
Compared with similar places in NYC or Chicago, RL is a 3 stars. The hype and line killed the experience.
Tips:
- If you are willing to eat right when it opens, you might get away without waiting much since most people in line put their names down for the 2nd rotation around 7 pm.
- Save some room to dessert.
- Go in small groups.
- You should go once for the experience.
Can't miss:
- English pea cake with edible flowers. Very creative and yummy.
Good:
- Vietnamese pate.
- Pork & Lychee salad.
- Coconut milk ice-cream
Meh:
- Grilled avocado topped with (tons of) cotija cheese. Unbalanced flavors.
- Grilled pork blade steak. Teriyaki sauce was terrible.
- Charred asparagus with pineapple. Not good.
Cons:
- Insane line.
