Rose - International Tapas & Bar — Restaurant in Boston

This was the restaurant we choose for Valentine’s Day to go share a meal with 3 other couples, Let’s just say… the atmosphere as in decorations wise was not disappointing at all! Our server was very kind and nice. I definitely feel as if his boss ( the owner) owed him a lot more respect and appreciation than I overheard him saying to him. “ you need to stop talking so much and move.” Something to that effect. Which is not okay to talk to your employee like that especially in an over area with customers. That was embarrassing and very disrespectful to make him feel like he wasn’t doing enough when he was juggling a million orders and it’s not his fault you were accepting more reservations than you had staff. That bad/greedy choices on the owner/management for only thinking about the money to be made. They definitely took way more reservations than their chef/ staff could handle. After waiting 2 hours ( with reservations booked prior) Everyone of our 8 dishes were all disgusting. My ribeye had no flavor and was so rubbery I couldn’t eat it, never mind enjoy it. My boyfriend got the filet mignon, asked specifically for it to be cooked well done no red or pink, when he cut into it, it was reddish and I mean after waiting 2 hours I thought it would be definitely cooked super well done. Smh. Everyone else’s was cold or not cooked right as well. My brother in laws steak was great the first few bites until he gave me A piece and I went to eat it and noticed a light colored hair in it. ( all of us have black hair.) it was just not a good experience at all. A very big disappointment. We all have children and work a lot and don’t get to get out with each other much so choosing this place was a mistake. Not only did we leave annoyed and hungry, but charged 360.00 for drinks and appetizers. In my opinion, we deserved more Than the owner coming over and telling us “he’s on our waiters ass” it wasn’t his fault at all and I felt so bad for that guy! The owner took off the 8 dinner plates we didn’t eat, but for someone who choose to allow walk ins and more reservations than he had staff he should of taken off the appetizers or given us a gift card to come back to give it a try again. ( not that we would want to drive an hour and a half away again to be disappointed) but it would of shown that he at least wanted to make up for his own mistakes of over booking on a day that is a special day for people to spend eating a good meal with loved ones. And that he actually is a good business owner and valued his customers. It was just an awful experience and a complete waste of of time. And due to it being Valentine’s Day all the good/ prepared restaurants in the area were not taking walk ins and more reservations than they had staff. Not...

Omg this was one of the WORST. Restaurants I ever been to. To start off the night, we barely could find parking. You had to park on the street but most parking said residential parking. We get in there and we bump in with a couple friends. We get seated and the vibes are good, music is good, 20 minutes pass no one has been to our table to give of drinks or nothing. Some guy finally comes up and he asks us what we want to drink. We ordered our food because we realized they were gonna take long. So we got empanadas and two drinks. Drinks come like 15 minutes later. By the time the food came we finished both drinks. We ordered two empanadas but they brought us one??? We were like okay, so we just shared it. After 20 minutes there was no sight of the other one and we just ordered two more drinks. Not very good. The menu was very mundane and not great. ATP it’s been like 25 minutes and the waiter never came back. We decided we just wanna go. We had to by force flag down the guy for our check. He goes back 15 minutes later he brings it. I read the check and we get charged for TWO EMPANADAS, when we only received one. So I told the guy uh no we only got one so take it off thank u. He said okay, right when he leaves guess what mysteriously arrive 45 minutes later? The other empanada. She was like this is for you guys? Where light no cause at this point where ready to leave. He finally comes back and we out the card and he bring the check back. We are not the type to not leave tip but I swear we barley even saw the guy all night and he didn’t even bring us drinks other workers did. He did not deserve it tbh. We got there at 7:15 and we left at 9:30???? And all we had where four drinks and one empanada. Our friends that where there said within every order they had to wait 20 minutes for a drink. There was barely any options for food and the option where so butt. We left and ended the night at Wendy’s. We will never return. Not to mention the random workers would bring us random food asking us if we ordered that. And putting other peoples food in our faces and then bringing it to them. That’s so gross. Everything about this restaurant is not worth it. I would never recommend this to anyone and when people ask what our favorite restaurant is I’ll tell the the worst...

I would give it 3.7 stars. Also please read the side notes on the bottom. We love great restaurants and were so excited to see it's opening. Restaurant atmosphere was amazing, very pretty and all the staffs are very welcoming. Here are what we ordered and it's price. (It bothers me so much when I can't find any menu and pricing online lol ) So here are what we ordered. Food: Patatas bravas $8 - Very standard flavor, for its price and value, I'd order again. Asian sweet style wings $10- this is my husband favorite of all food. Personally think it's just okay not wow. Gambas Al Ajillo $8 - shrimp with pineapples. Price is good for a tapas. Ceviche $17 - as you can see in my picture, the portion is super small, it's no more than my palm size. the flavor is just okay. Totally not worth for $17.. for it's value, it's more acceptable no more than $10 unfortunately. Chicken vodka pasta $15 (was from Javeli's recipe. supposedly) - this is actually my favorite dish of all night lol it's funny to say that at a tapas place.

Drinks Ometra & secrecy $18 - great craft cocktails. Very well presented. I talked to their bartenders, they are super helpful and great explanations. Picked the cocktail for me and it was delicious. I have no issues paying $18 for the cocktail.

My husband just had a beer, there was an accident happened when the beer was arrived, it was spilled all over my son and his food. but they take care of it very quickly and Replace the drinks and the plates. They didn't charge us for the beer.

Overall: Love the atmosphere there, I like the drink that I ordered. Not crazy about their foods. I'd order again for their pasta tho. If we come back, will be sitting at the bar have a drink or two. We ordered 4 tapas dishes, 1 pasta and 1 drinks, total cost $100.56.

Side notes They automatically added 20% of gratuity and also charge extra fee if you use credit card. It would be great if there's a heads-up, if you don't look through the bill, it's easily to pay 40% for the tips..

All of these above is just our personal experience. You might feel differently than us. Wouldn't hurt to give it a shot, you might like it? Or overtime, there might be some adjustments. Hope...
