Cozy Capitol Hill Dinner: Rose's Luxury
Let me start by saying all of the hype you have heard about Rose's Luxury is true. I have dined at Rose's for dinner three times in four weeks. Yes, it is that good.
Rose's Luxury is the perfect modern day dining experience.
The food is sophisticated, but not fussy. The wait staff is knowledgeable, but not pretentious. The decor is elegant, but not over the top.
Rose's Luxury does not take reservations and yes, they are slammed on Friday and Saturday nights. If you want to go on a weekend night, go at 6 or at 9:30pm. If you show up at a normal dining time you will have a three hour wait.
Personally, I like to go on a Wednesday or Thursday around 6:30pm. Enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail at the chic and cozy upstairs bar before being seated for dinner.
Considering the number of times I have been to Rose's Luxury I have now tried almost everything on the menu (which does change seasonally). A few of my favorites are as follows:
1. Oysters - both Chicken Fried and Raw, absolutely delightful
2. The Bread - which is free, is omg-amazing. The whipped butter with crispy potato skins on top, out of this world. I could make an entire meal just from this bread and butter.
3. The Fried Chicken - drizzled with a bit of honey for a savory & sweet experience. Try it with and without the Crystal's hot sauce. By the way, shout out to Rose's for offering legit southern hot sauce to pair with the chicken.
4. The Brisket - juicy, savory, cooked to perfection. If you don't want the family style platter ask for a brisket sandwich - trust me, it's exactly what you want. Technically the sandwich is only on the bar menu, not the full dining room menu, but they will serve it at the table.
5. The Sourdough Donuts - mixed with the vanilla bean ice cream, this stuff is heaven.
Happy Hilling!
