While I’m not sure if Bon Appetit’s annual top 10 best new restaurants are actually the best in the country, I have never been disappointed in any of them. Rose’s Luxury was no exception. We arrived a half hour before opening and when doors opened we were able to put our names on the list for later in the evening (although by this time the line had to have been a block long). With a group of five we were able to order almost the whole menu. Lovely friendly service and expectations exceeded.
