Rosas Bar & Grill

Ok, so this was my first time here and I felt safe because there is security at the door that checks bags. I was shocked because this was at 11am lol. This place has a cool bar with TV's and cool drinks. It is a small establishment so if you would like to come and enjoy the food and the atmosphere definitely come early unless you like crowds. So the service was good had a wonderful waitress but the food was okay, it was definitely average and what really struck me is that they had catfish on the menu but I was tasting trout. But other than that the Grits are good the eggs are okay and the vanilla french toast was really good as well. The bacon was okay, it tasted like that paper bacon that is already precooked. Definitely would think about that and the fish that supposed to have been catfished. But other than that this is a cool place to come to

I went for a family member’s birthday. The food was okay. I got Salmon (I’ll post the photos) Collard Greens, and Mac & Cheese. Salmon was 6.5/10 a little dry, needed more flavor and I didn’t like the chili sauce. Collard greens 1/10 the flavor was bland & the food it self was hard I can’t explain it & when I let my cousins try it they said the same thing like maybe it wasn’t all the way cooked idk. But yeah, Mac & Cheese was a 9/10, so cheesy & flavorful. I also ordered tacos. The catfish tacos 10/10 & are 3 any flavor for $11 on Taco Tuesdays. My homegirl said the Alfredo was good. The service was okay there was music playing. There is gratuity so that could possibly explain why the waitress was a little rude.

I write this as I’m currently having my dining experience here… I will say, I truly love that there’s a Black space for us to brunch and enjoy and feel at home. I enjoyed our waitress, I enjoyed the atmosphere. I did not drink, but the rest of my table said the drinks were amazing. But the food. I’m unsure. Maybe I made the mistake of ordering fish and grits (something I don’t typically order out), but I expected the fish to be fresh. This IS Baltimore and we ARE in very close proximity to many seafood markets/distributors/etc. Catfish shouldn’t be mushy in mouthfeel, nor greasy. I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t catfish and was actually swai which, is a deceptive business practice but I’ll digress. The eggs were struggling… only to be saved by the grits, which were a bit dense, and I could tell they probably were made more to pair with the shrimp option over the fish. All in all, this my first visit, and I’m going to chalk this up to me picking the wrong menu item. Looking forward to coming again.

I was there on Thursday and it was literally freezing in there. I should have taken a clue when I saw that the place was empty. They have a bartender by the name of Tamia and she was phenomenal. If she isn't there when you go turn around, because she is the whole experience. Her customer service is out of this world. I can't speak for the rest, I've been here a couple of times and it was just blah. The vibe is off when the owner is there, he seems to be unappreciative of his workers and brings the vibes way down. Which makes for a poor customer experience. Tamia made my drink perfectly. As for the food though, I think my macaroni and cheese was stale! The bathroom soap dispenser was broken so I was preoccupied with the thought, how are the employees washing their hands? Gross!! But back to the food, they were out of a few things on the menu that I wanted to try so I was limited in my selection. I usually don't mind a little hood and unorganization in city establishments but something about this one needs an intervention from the HEALTH DEPARTMENT. Something just ain't right. Save your coins, you might end up with food poisoning. I definitely got the brown squirts after that Mac & cheese!
