About Rose's Luxury

Behind a green-trimmed brick front on 8th Street SE, the dining room runs back to a courtyard strung with lights and hanging plants, and there is rooftop seating upstairs. The menu is built for sharing: the bread service, pork and lychee salad, pasta in paper, udon with clams and fried chicken with hot sauce come up again and again, and servers often send an extra plate while a table is still deciding. Doors open Wednesday to Saturday, from 5:45pm midweek and 5:15pm at the weekend, closing at 9 or 9:30. Google gives it 4.7 across more than 1,900 reviews, with the warmth of the floor staff the most common theme and a birthday treat a regular touch. A minority of long-time fans argue it has lost the edge of its early years, and some find the set format too much food. Dress is smart casual, though bills land higher than the relaxed mood suggests.
