I have been to Rose Water twice, once for dinner and once for brunch! It is amazing. The food is so fresh and tastes as though it was just picked from a garden! Their fish was de...

Worst

I had high hopes for Rose Water. I have to say the atmosphere - we had a table outside in the sun - was terrific, but overall, brunch was disappointing. The ingredients were fresh...

How to enjoy Rose Water 8/6/2004

We came all the way from Queens, and glad we did. Try the artisinal cheese's appetizer with Sardinian, Gouda, and Goats Milk--with Strawberry preserves for a dip and grapes on the side! Simply mouthwatering! And the tomato and thai basil with mozzerella? Also very good. The skirt steak was delightfully tasty too. As a seasoned restaurant visitor in New York, this place is a find in Brooklyn. Highly recommended. Pros: ambience, appetizers, wine more

Good Job Brooklyn 3/19/2003

Great place in Park Slope. THe service and help is impeccable. They offer different flavors and a variety of ingredients that blend very nicely together. The help with the wine was great. I will be returning to this place even though I do not live in the area. Pros: service more

where's the saffron 2/15/2003

Duck confit cigar was nice, thought slightly oily. Skirt steak was perfectly grilled and drizzled with a balsamic clove reduction which complemented the blandness of the beef. Housemade saffron fettucine (whose house? where's the saffron?!!) came in appetizer size (of course, entree priced), it was dry and devoid of flavor. The pasta's saving grace came in the form of a poached organic egg. The wait staff forgot our wine order and bread was slow to arrive. We want to like this place -- having came twice before and enjoyed it -- but this time around we left disappointed. The ambiance is still excellent for couples. Pros: ambiance, location, friendly Cons: attentiveness, portions, wine list more

One of Brooklyn's Best!!!GO!! 1/13/2003

I've been going here ever since it opened. I've brought friends, GF's, friends and family of GF's and parents. While it has undergone some normal transformations from being slightly pretentious when it first opened up it has been very resilient and consistantly quality oriented. I've had a few minor bumps with service and yes it can be a bit cramped at times, but as a chef I have to dispute the claims of this website ed. staff and some dissenting reviewers in saying it is always well seasoned and DUH, they provide a cleverly placed tray of salt for you to use if you think otherwise. I've always found the staff caring and compasionate. The bathroom is always clean, etc. Try the seasonal stuff, there is NOTHING like this in the SLOPE. I've raved equally about Al Di La, but this is a different experience and well worth it! Pros: Intimate and friendly, Unique and fab food, Excellent overall Cons: Small place, That's it! more

a delicious taste of the seasons 12/2/2002

What an improvement from when it first opened! The food is just yummy. Terrific service, and food that is really appropriate for the season. more

catchy title here 11/1/2002

My dinner at rose water after a recent bam performance was very enjoyable. The host helped me select a wine that I think served the meal well. Tapping local organic growers for many ingredients helps ensure fresh and tasty dishes. I also like the low key atmosphere inside, but green plastic patio chairs should be banned from all restaurants. Pros: Host Cons: Patio chairs more

Amazing Place 9/19/2002

Yes, I absolutely love this restaurant and no, I don't work here. I had a meal at Rose Water that I won't forget anytime soon, one of the best since I've moved to New York. Everything was cooked with fresh organic ingredients, and with such care, preparation and skill! In such a small restaurant, it was as if you were dining at a friend's house (well, if the friend were an exceptionally trained chef). The service, the decor - intimate, informal and enthusiastic. I cannot think of a more lovely combination, and I will definitely return to see what creations they whip up next. Pros: Intimate, Excellent Food, Great Service Cons: A Bit Pricey, Smallish more

over-hyped 7/28/2002

The previous reviews were written by the familes and friends of the restaurant owner!! I had a totally different experience last Friday. My daal soup was drenched in olive oil and my blue fish entree was cold and poorly accompanied by the mustard greens. This place tries too hard to create fusion food and ends up dragging the ingredients kicking and screaming into an unhappy union. It did not merit a 24 food rating in Zagat's. more
