I had an amazing experience at Norman Rose Tavern. As someone who's been on the hunt for truly good…read morefish and chips, I can finally say I found something worth calling the real deal. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the portion size felt fair for the price. The staff struck a great balance -- friendly and attentive without constantly interrupting the meal to ask if everything was okay. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. At one point, the music was slightly loud for my liking. Another guest politely mentioned it, and the staff immediately turned it down and made sure everyone was comfortable. That kind of responsiveness really stood out. What truly went above and beyond was what happened after I left. I had forgotten my hat on the seat, and instead of just putting it in lost and found, our waiter actually ran out of the restaurant and caught up with me before I crossed the street to the parking area. That level of care is rare and genuinely appreciated. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. I'd absolutely bring my family here -- kids included -- and would recommend it to anyone considering stopping by. .

Service needs improvement…read more We went to this tavern to watch the World Cup soccer game. I was with a party at four and our dog. We sat out on the patio, which was dog friendly, which was very nice My gripe is that the service was rather slow, and the server wasn't very friendly. The kicker was we were ordering off the happy hour menu, which goes until 6 PM, and around 5:30 we asked the server if he would come back in about 15 minutes so that we can get our last order in before 6 PM He came back at 5:55 and we ordered a few more things from the happy hour menu and he said "happy hour is over, you can no longer order off the happy hour menu." I asked him "how can that be? It's still 5:55. The menu clearly states that happy hour goes until 6 PM plus we asked you 30 minutes ago if you can come back in 15 minutes and you said yes." He said he was told that happy hour is over and he can't take any more happy hour orders I told him to ask his boss or whoever told him that to come over and explain it to us He said the owner told him that I asked him please have the owner come over and explain that to us He went over and talked to the owner and then came back and said I can take your happy hour orders But that's just uncalled for you. They have a happy hour to attract business and they need to honor it. If it's 'till 6 o'clock they gotta take happy orders 'till 6 o'clock. Cutting people off five minutes early just results in upset customers. It's poor way to run a business. Other than that, the place is OK Food was all right, nothing to write home about. I won't be coming back.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience dining at Carpe Diem. I attended an event here recently…read moreand knew I had to return for a date night. The dining room is small, but really lovely. Nice touches adorn the restaurant throughout. The menu has a lot of wonderful options. The service, provided by Alex, was excellent. We started with the Dungeness Crab arancini, which are probably the best thing we ate all evening, and that's saying a lot because everything we had was great. These arancini are perfectly fried crab meat rolled into a ball served over a delicious tartar sauce. I wish I had 3 orders of this, at least. We ordered the soup of the day and their bread service. The soup was a white bean and sausage and it was perfectly salty and fatty. The bread and butter was a perfect accompaniment. The Carpe Diem salad was also really special. It had these Cabernet soaked dried cranberries that were so good and tart. For an entree, we ordered the short ribs which come over a risotto. It felt a little heavy, and maybe the sauce could've used a little acid to cut the heaviness. It was still really delicious though. For dessert, we had the espresso crème brûlée. This was just the icing on the cake of a great meal. I love Carpe Diem and hope to come back soon!

My dog has been behaving amazingly since boarding school and being able to put her obedience to the test at CD was amazing because everyone was so kind. To drink I had the HH margarita. Then I had the pork belly which was phenomenal, though I wasn't expecting a one piece pork belly--thought it was going to be multiple pieces. It was so good. To drink I also had the carpeninsula--so good! Love this spot and thank you for welcoming me and my pup so warmly

For cocktails my mom ordered a new Mom and drop martini and I ordered a 12 mile reset. We both got the steak. I got the mushrooms and my mom got the potatoes. For her being her 65th birthday this was absolutely amazing and I'm so glad the Cole's chophouse could accommodate so quickly. She had an unbelievable birthday and I greatly appreciate everyone in the staff and hostess. The ambience of Cole chophouse is an upscale laid-back steakhouse with surf and turf options. I highly recommend coming here. Our servers name is- Brian and he was absolutely phenomenal in serving and attending to our table at everything we needed and wanted for our evening. He is the epitome of fantastic service and fantastic ambience. 10/10

The staff (especially bartenders) were all super nice... they were busy, but still took the time to check in and chit chat. Definitely adds to the great overall vibe. Wine is wine so nothing to add there, but the pizza was really good. The dough was a little too thick for me and was a little chewy, but the sauce and toppings were delish. Dessert was very good... we completely devoured that. This is at a hotel and parking could be a little challenging - we were staying at the hotel so I am not sure if they offer valet for dinner. Overall great place - Would I go back? Yes.

The server(s) was very inattentive. We had to flag people down to get water. I ordered a glass of wine. When I was done, the server didn't even ask if I wanted another glass, just took my glass and walked away. To order desserts I had to ask to order it, while the table across from us was asked if they would like dessert, coffee or tea. I think our server stopped by our table once after we had our food. When I mentioned these to the manger, he was dismissive and defensive. R+D sends information of their standards before you visit, which is fine. However, if the restaurant expects a certain standard from their customers, then they need to provide the same level of service.
