Customer Reviews
I previously visited Rowland 6 years ago and gave them 4/5. Recently, I went for their Valentine's Day Prix Fix Menu. For my appetizer, I had the ravioli, which wasn't bad. I had the bronzino for my main dish, which was pretty good. I had the white chocolate bread pudding for dessert, which didn't really taste like bread pudding. My date had the salad, which was small, the eggplant, which she didn't like at all, and the lemon pastry, which she said was just ok. We were allowed to swap out the eggplant for the lamb shank. It was definitely better than the eggplant, but could've been seasoned better. Overall, I would rate my experience about a 3/5. The portions were relatively small and the service was ok, not great. I should also mention taxes and the automatically included gratuity added a
Rowlands is fantastic. Had dinner there last night and the food and service were amazing. We started with creative drinks, the four of us tried different versions of an old fashion, and then the appetizers. I had asparagus soup with trout in it. Just amazing. Then the main course. I had the veal and some one in our party had the pork chop. They were so, so good. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.
Went for October restaurant week. Food looks good, 2 out of the 3 courses were raw and cold. Had high hopes for this place unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. Heads up they also charge a $4 card fee.
Ignored by our waitress on Valentine's day and then forced to pay a 20% gratuity. We saw our waitress when she took our order and when she brought the check. Our empty glasses were ignored. When the check arrived with a 20% gratuity included I requested to have the amount adjusted in light of the lack of service. She refused. I can understand that sometimes there can be an "off" night. I cannot understand the customer having to pay for it beyond our less than ideal dining experience. Update: The owner graciously reached out to me an apologized for the problem we experienced. He even offered us a free dinner which we we declined because we only wished to have our concerns acknowledged.
Had the pleasure of dining here for Valentine’s Day with my significant other! The fixed menu was articulately designed and even included a vegetarian option which I really appreciated. The atmosphere is extremely intimate yet lively. Amazing food and flavor! Not to mention how attentive and friendly the staff was. There was even an incident where a couple refused to pay their bill despite their website mentioning to included gratuity upon booking. Despite this couple being disruptive to our romantic dinner, I thought the staff handled it so well on such a busy night! Cant wait to eat here again!
