We’ve been trying for months to get a dinner reservation for Rose Mary with no success. Finally it happened, at 5:30 on a summer-like Wednesday night. We’d reserved a high-top table at the bar because it was all we could get but when we showed up, and likely because the outdoor seating was in use, the 2 of us were given a prime 4-top by the big front window. Very kind of them. We ordered a round of drinks. I liked my “Like it’s Golden” cocktail, an aquavit-based drink. It was citrus-y light and refreshing with half a candied kumquat on a pick to nibble at the end. Our waitress, Katherine, was very personable and helped us choose the correct number of dishes (4 or 5, depending on your hunger) and described her favorites. Because the food is Italian and Croatian, there were both familiar and novel dishes to consider. We chose charred Gem lettuce salad with a kajmak dressing (salty-creamy and cheesy), grilled baby octopus tentacles in a tomato-y sauce, squid ink risotto, called "crni", and pork ribs in an agrodolce sauce. Pasta courses are popular menu items and sounded very appealing but with the risotto, we thought it would be redundant. Each dish was shareable for 2, tasty and attractively plated with some unfamiliar ingredients. The runner who brought them described each one for us. We left nothing on the plates and still made room for dessert, a fig toffee “zolten”, reminiscent of a sticky toffee pudding topped with vanilla gelato. Some menu items change seasonally, others have been on the menu since the place first opened. Service is friendly and competent (well, except for the 3 receptionists, who are unsmiling with a bit of “attitude”). The menu is accessible with a QR code but they’ll give you a paper menu if you ask. We were given clean plates and cutlery between each course. There was a full water bottle on the table and it also was replaced when needed. Katherine checked in with us after each dish appeared to make sure we were happy with it. The space is fairly large and well-lit, on a street corner with windows on 2 sides. It’s nicely decorated with high, sound absorbing ceilings, green plants (including a sad-looking potted rosemary shrub near the entrance), light-colored wood furniture and an open kitchen. Our table had a beautiful veined-marble top; there were no tablecloths. There were at least a dozen outside tables with umbrellas for good weather. The patrons were mostly young professionals, dressed casually but well. We noticed one family with a toddler in a high chair and a sprinkling of gray-haired folk. Dinner for two, including a surprise 4% surcharge “to help offset increased operational costs resulting from the COVID crisis” and tax but before tip was $135. Having had so much trouble getting in, we expected to find it over-hyped and disappointing. Happily, this was not so. We enjoyed ourselves, the food and the relaxed ambience. Note for those interested in going: At 5:30 the place was almost full. There was a lull around 6:30 with tables emptying and another influx between 7 and 7:30. That’s about when we left. The best strategy may be to get there when it opens without a reservation and hang out at the bar until a table opens up. It might be a long wait, though; we noticed several tables lingering over their meals and wine and the staff content to let them do so.
