"This tasting menu spot from the Rose’s Restaurant Group doesn’t take itself too seriously, throwing a party gathered around a four-course meal ($350) that diners are encouraged to dress up for and celebrate with champagne. Another sibling to Rose’s Luxury and laidback Little Pearl, offerings here include creative larger format dishes like “udon” made of squid and bacalao-filled ravioli topped off with caviar. Cocktails and wine are served a la carte and a 22-percent service charge is added to every meal. The tasting menu spot lost a star in 2024, but could earn back its two-star status in the years to come." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
