2 years ago my now wife and I had our first date at La Rosa. It’s our favorite place to go for great food and drinks. Last weekend we had our wedding reception in the upstairs lounge and it was beyond what we expected! Emmy did an amazing job coordinating the event. A+ Emmy! The room itself is amazing with beautiful art and atmosphere perfect for a wedding reception. The bartenders were super friendly and happy, the main host/server was an on point professional. What stood out the most to us, was the genuine care and friendliness of all the staff to make the event wonderful. They felt like they were a part of our reception. And to top off this perfect experience, my wife lost her pop socket from her phone. And the next day, one of the downstairs staff members, happily went back upstairs and searched for the item, found it, and absolutely refused to accept a small tip for doing so. I feel like it’s those little things that make the difference and warranted the best review I can muster up. An absolutely perfect place for a reception, event or party! Especially for the price!

The steak fajitas and pepita encrusted salmon were delicious. I also like coming here for happy hour. The margaritas and cucumber cooler are really good, plus they have a nice happy hour menu.

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant! They had great happy hour which goes every day 4 pm to 6pm. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home. It’s rare to find a place that combines great food with such warm hospitality. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a wonderful atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!

AMAZING experience! Such great food, everything was delicious and you can tell the ingredients used are higher quality than most. Can’t wait to go back, it was a total hit with my fiancé and sister(: We had a few margaritas and cocktails which were yummy too! The chips are thin and crisp, and salsa had the perfect amount of heat.

The place is very spacious, but because of its popularity, it fills up pretty quickly. We had shrimp and chicken fajitas with some chips. Everything tasted really good. It’s a little bit on the pricey side, but worth it.
