Reviews For Rosewater Kitchen & Bar

Very cute place, intimate, but extremely loud due to close quarters. We felt like we were sitting in a school cafeteria trying to talk to each other across the table. Our server was amazing and everything came out on time and correctly. There were 5 of us, and the shareable apps are 100% the way to go! Everything is very good, but also on the decadent side, but are the perfect size for sharing. The Pipe Rigate was absolutely amazing, and the Potato Fritters were just the right amount of both crispy outside and soft, velvety inside. The salads are a great size for one, not too much and not too little. For desert, our table unanimously voted the Espresso Creme Brulee was to die for. The Chocolate Cobbler was loved by one of us, however the rest of us felt it tasted too much like flour. Overall, great food, service, and atmosphere. I would definitely go again!

Went for Sunday brunch. Sat outside, where we were able to hear live music from the restaurant across the way. We got avocado toast & breakfast risotto, both of which were delicious (especially the toast.) Definitely a winner!

I finally got the opportunity to go to rose water 12/10!! The food was just absolutely amazing. I got the short rib and a coolcumber spritz. My boyfriend got the filet mignon We also had an appetizer, the whipped feta! And then we ended the night with some espresso! I’d love to come back

Met up with some girlfriends at Rosewater for a late Saturday lunch, and everything was amazing. Our waiter, Michael was very informative, kind, and humorous. The food was delicious! We started off by ordering bread and a pitcher of red sangria. The bread was too good, we ordered a second serving. It was very soft and the olive oil/pesto they provide is amazing. I ordered the mahi-mahi dish and the kale risotto was delicious. For the family style sides, we ordered the whipped yuca & mushroom and the pipe rigate. We all finished our entire meal, and to end it off we also tried their house made butterscotch ice cream that was delicious! Will definitely be visiting again soon!

This is my top recommendation for brunch in Raleigh! My husband and I often make reservations here to make our Sundays a bit more special. The ambiance feels like you’re on a little getaway, with friendly staff and consistently satisfying food. They serve biscuits that any Southerner would love—huge and with a truly special butter. I highly recommend ordering them as an appetizer with your meal!

Wonderful brunch! We started with mimosas and the biscuits and honey. We were warned that the biscuits are big and they totally were! Entrees were the waffles and crab cakes Benedict. Both were wonderful. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. Sitting outside was a good call, it was quiet and a beautiful day. We will be back!

I had the pleasure of being the photographer for a wedding reception at Rosewater Kitchen & Bar in Raleigh, and I can't say enough about how wonderful this venue is! The atmosphere was absolutely perfect, with a charming and elegant decor that made for stunning photos. The staff was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was taken care of seamlessly. The food was exceptional, with a diverse menu that delighted all the guests. The presentation was beautiful, adding an extra touch of elegance to the event. The outdoor patio area provided a lovely backdrop for photos, and the lighting both inside and out was ideal for capturing the magic of the evening. Overall, Rosewater Kitchen & Bar exceeded all expectations and contributed to a truly unforgettable wedding reception. Highly recommend this venue for any special event!
