“Went to visit since my friend works here! Shoutout to Chef Hunter! Our waiter Lauren was amazing as well!! Everything we ordered was delicious and well portioned. Love the atmosphere a great place to visit if you are visiting Chicago or a cute date night!!”
“Very unique, Croatian cusine, beautiful food and wines.”
“Come ready to eat. Everything is delicious. Maybe research a little before ordering but the whimsy of ordering on the fly did not disappoint. Can’t wait to try Joe’s other restaurants and knock out our own Flamm-Slam. We really enjoyed the onset envy at looking at other people’s plates.”
“I went here with a few friends and absolutely had a blast. I couldn’t get enough of the food. Everything was fantastic.”
“A little noise, but great service, unique and tasty food, reasonable prices”
“Rose Mary absolutely lived up to the hype. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel welcoming without being overbearing. The atmosphere strikes a great balance between lively and comfortable, making it perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. If you’re visiting Chicago or looking for one of the city’s standout restaurants, Rose Mary is definitely worth the reservation. We’ll be back!”
“Oh my God! 🤯🤤🫠 We were incredibly lucky to walk in on a packed Friday night and still snag seats at the bar. The bartender was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. The cocktail featuring Maraska Slivovitz was the perfect way to kick off the evening. As for the food - Michelin star worthy. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin because everything was outstanding. If I had to pick a favorite, the gnocchi takes first place, but every other dish we tried deserves a very close second. Hats off to the chef! We’ll definitely be back the next time we're in Chicago.”
“What a fantastic experience we had at Rose Mary. The downside was that this was the first restaurant we had dinner at over our 5 day trip and none of the others could come close to matching this restaurant. We had a reservation and when we arrived they offered us a table or the Chef's Counter. We jumped at the opportunity to sit at the Counter and it made for a great experience! Not only enjoying the food, but having the opportunity to watch the kitchen in full effect was great. All the chefs and staff were great, would answer questions, and even provided a few additional samples. Together we ordered 6 dishes, I think 4-5 for a couple would be a good amount, depending on what items you order. We added dessert. We ordered: Zucchini Fritters, Crostino, Tuna Crudo, Gnocchi, Pork Ribs Pampanella, and Pistachio Gelato. The staff also gave us a small order of the Stracciatella to start and the strawberry Gelato as well. The food was fantastic! All 5 courses hit the mark and gave us a great variety for the meal. This place would be great for a night out with friends, a special evening with a loved one celebrating an event....anything really. But it would be best knowing the items should be shared so you can try everything. I just want to thank you to all the staff for making us feel welcome, stopping to chat, making great recommendations, and making sure we had a great experience. We highly recommend going to Rose Mary!”
“An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Rose Mary truly delivers on every level — beautifully executed dishes, bold yet balanced flavors, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and enjoy every bite. Each plate was thoughtful and refined, from the delicate crudos to the perfectly cooked meats and comforting pastas. A special mention goes to our server, Wes, who was absolutely outstanding. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming, he elevated the entire experience with seamless service and spot-on recommendations without ever being intrusive. This is the kind of place where great food and great hospitality come together effortlessly. Highly recommended — and definitely worth returning.”
“This restaurant had been on my list for a while, and I finally got a reservation and it did not disappoint. It’s officially one of my favorites now. I’m not even a sweet potato person, but the Sweet Potato dish was SO good. We also got the 16oz Dry Aged Strip, and wow smoky, full of flavor. I usually order my steak medium, and the menu said this one would be a bit undercooked, but I actually loved it. We also tried the Radiatore “Cacio e Pepe”. It was good, just a little oily for my taste. Dessert portions were huge definitely more than enough to share between two people. Would 100% go back.”
