I'd like to share with the public a well deserved, top notch review about Rosemary's catering service.
I am a local resident of Lakewood and just this past week I was blessed with hosting a simcha where I was expecting a large crowd to show up. Making a Bris can be somewhat of a stressful experience, but if you're looking for the perfect blend of high quality cuisine and service then you must choose Rosemary!! Not only did they walk us through each step with confidence, being fully transparent about their pricing with a variety of options (no hidden fees), but when the big day finally came they delivered everything as promised and more.
The waiters came early to begin setup - subsequent to a massive rainstorm that took place the night before where there was major flooding throughout the streets the morning after. I, myself, had been hindered in reaching the venue because of the flooded streets and roadblocks in the area, and yet somehow when I finally arrived I was shocked to find that the hall was almost finished being set up. By the time I came down to begin the celebratory meal, laid out before my eyes was the sight of an exquisite presentation, each table topped with light blue tablecloths and loaded with fresh bagels and literally boards of spreads and toppings that were both visual and palate pleasers. Let's not forget the buffet stations of scrambled eggs, hash browns and pancakes that were all super delicious. The food came in ample amounts, and with the knowledge that everyone loves to take home food from a Bris, they provided their own custom-made, sturdy "to-go" bags rather than the typical more flimsy foil sheets that you would expect to find at an average Bris. Cereal and chocolate milk for the kids together with donuts and pastries galore. Orange juice and iced coffee provided in their own clear and compact capsule containers so the guests can keep their attention on the important stuff instead of distracting themselves with the ingredients on the conventional bulky containers you'd buy at the supermarket yourself. All of my guests came back to me with a "wowed" reaction, raving about how impressed they were with what an outstanding job Rosemary performed. Notice the flower centerpiece they provided on each table as well that added an elegant touch to enhance the party. No need to dread about the clean up and worry about getting on the hall's nerves - Rosemary got us covered on that too. They left the entire place spic and span exactly how it was the night before.
Keep in mind that a party like mine was definitely on the pricier side, but they make an effort to accommodate their customers, whatever the price-point may be, and securing you with a job that is par excellence. Whether going basic or more upscale, they make it worth every penny! Rosemary proved themselves to be highly experienced, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. A most...
Read moreOne of my favorite brunch places in Lakewood is Rosemary Artisanal Bagelry, located on the Jackson/Lakewood border. Not only do they have some of the best bagels in the neighborhood, but they also have some amazing dairy options like pasta, shakshuka, burritos and more. PLUS they have a drive through. On this last visit, we tried the Nacho Munch, which featured Tacos and salad with guacamole on top. We were already big fans of their Shakshuka, but they updated the recipe to make it more authentic and added a little spice. As always, it is served in a skillet with a side of their famous sourdough. For myself, I got their hash browns which we all love, with an Avocado Toast featuring a perfect sunnyside up egg and some red onions and tomato. We also tried their all new Breakfast Burrito, which is filled with sautéed vegetables, onions, cheese, eggs and potatoes. For drinks you must get their Strawberry Splash, a favorite in our household. We also got the brand new pancakes, fluffy and topped with some powered sugar, along with their brand new mac and cheese in a skillet. The mac and cheese features not one but three different types of cheeses and was picture perfect. If that wasn’t enough, we decided to check out two pasta dishes, the Fettuccini, and their new cast iron baked Ziti, which has the crispy cheese on top and melty cheese underneath it. Both were very flavorful and cheesy. While we were leaving, we noticed these beautiful platters of both sandwiches/wraps and muffins going out to a lucky client. We peeked into the kitchen and sampled their new Buffalo Cauliflower, which was crispy and spicy like a chicken popper. So check out Rosemary today and tell Tzvi that...
Read moreNew kosher breakfast place at the jackson - lakewood border.
As a fan of new food places, and after hearing good reviews, I decided to try rosemary.
At 11 am. on a summer Sunday, the place was packed. Apparently, its popularity has taken over. winning the hearts of couples, young and old looking for a good breakfast place in town. I will mention there was outside seating available as well as a bar style table. After a few short minutes, a few tables emptied, and I was able to get comfortable right away.
During my wait, I began ordering food from the kiosk and was astonished. The menue options were amazing. The menue offering normal foods as well as some unique options while offering prices that aren't outrageous. What can be better!!!?!!!
The food did not take long at all to come as they seemed to have ample staff.
When I had a question, the staff seemed happy to help find an answer, and was extremely helpful and nice.
The menue had a big variety of options, and I couldn't vouch for everything, but what I had was good.
All in all, I was very impressed and happy with my visit to Rosemary and would definitely go back!
Good parking! Good service! Easy ordering! No long waits! Nice...
