“ Time to get your Happy on at one of *the* best places for Happy Hour! Great drink selections--the signature named "Rosemary" is a wonderful concoction made with tequila and garnished with a blood orange slice. The espresso martinis are wonderful too. Our light dinner included Smash burgers w/pickled onion one sans the bun so it's gluten friendly, an ample portion of very shareable truffled and dusted with Parmesan fries. The fries are the best in these parts--crispy outside and moist airy inside. The wild card was the roasted beet salad with cashew and whipped ricotta. The beet salad was delicious and paired well with all the other flavors including the tequila drinks. Such a cool welcoming vibe and the staff is always courteous and very professional too. Deets: Happy Hour Tue-Sun 4-6 specials only at the bar or tables in the bar area. You can also order from the regular menu starting at 5 pm Don't forget to feed the meter! Come on...it's always time to get happy! ”
“ My wife and I along with another couple had a nice dinner. We were hoping to have the Crab Meat toast app but the menu changes often. Service was great along with drinks. Hoping to be back but that hinges on the menu changes being published somewhere. With a limited menu I really like to know ahead of time that I will eat something. ”
“ Outstanding food and service. If you're in Ridley Park area, definitely check out this restaurant. It's a good place for a date or just to spend a nice meal with friends or family. It's intimate, clean, well lit, and not too cramped. While waiting for our friends to arrive, my husband and I were sitting at the bar and ordered some cocktails. I had "the Gracie" and I enjoyed it. It's vodka with orange liqueur , lime juice, and pomegranate. Not overly sweet. Burrata is fresh served with homemade thin pita chips . It has a spicy kick, very addicting. Focaccia: it's warm, light and airy served with butter with a hint of garlic. Crab cakes: two thin patties of fresh crab with remoulade and arugula. No fliings and well seasoned without being over salted. Marinated beets: served with ricotta, radish, and pistachios is another delightful small plates. Sweet potatoes: it's my first time encountering sweet potatoes served with tahini, chili jam, and cilantro. However all of these works well with the sweet potatoes. Definitely worth to try. Fingerlings: potatoes are so crispy served with roasted red peppers and some herbed cream. It's another winner. Mussels: big serving size, fresh with light yet flavorful broth served with a nicely toasted bread. Pork chops: perfectly cooked and juicy. Beautifully plated on top of smooth polenta, topped with pancetta, with vibrant salsa verde framing the dish. It looks so elegant. Spaghetti and rigatoni are al dente and have good serving size. Chef George Sabatino with his experience at Safran Turney Hospitality under his belt definitely shows his culinary skills in all the dishes that he serves. Ou waitress is knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. The owner and chef are awesome, approachable, and down to earth. Overall, we had a wonderful experience there and definitely recommend this place. ”
“ Tried Rosemary for Brunch this Sunday morning, was very happy with the food, and also the service. I had the Breakfast burger, burger was a touch on the salty side, but it was very good overall, loved the pickled onions, it came with potatoes on the side, they were very good. I also had a side of maple bacon, that was delicious. Wife had Avocado Toast, and a Side Gem Salad, both were very good she said. In-laws had a breakfast burger and the breakfast platter, all the food was good tasting and of high quality. Paige was our server, and she did a great job of taking care of us, checking in on us here and there, great job. Will give them a try for dinner, but my first experience with them is 5 stars. ”
“ No words to describe the food except one AMAZING. It's a I want to kiss the chef type of restaurant. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was Joanne (she was just shadowing) and she was fabulous again 5 stars. Joanne provided her delicious recommendations which we ordered. Every time we go we will request Joanne. There is so many bursts of flavors it's unexplainable. It's 4th of July fireworks in your mouth. I am in heaven that Rosemary is down the street from me. I no longer have to go to center city for 5 star food and service. Burratta Toast sweet and delicious. Pesto herb earthy fresh flavor with sweet savory strawberry purée. Brussel Caesar Salad with fresh Parmesan and pancetta - this was good maybe a little too much Caesar but still delicious. Could of had more pancetta but I am also one of those bacon everything people. Charred Octopus - the best I have ever had in my life. There was 8 different delicious flavors. Dinner: Peruvian Chicken - my husband actually dumped the sauces that were on the charred octopus plate added to the chicken. Very good Salmon - Joanne our waitress raved about this dish she was so passionate explaining this recommendation it was a must to try. And we were extremely happy with the choice. Absolutely loved the atmosphere and decor. Also loved the glasses. I didn't care for the plates/Serve ware. My favorites were the charred octopus and Burrata toast. #ridleypark #delco #delcoeats #BurrattaToast #Burratta #octopus #salmon #pistachio #delcopa #delcofoodie #ridley ”
“ Such a cute spot for a nice dinner date or just catching up with friends. Food was OK but the service was great and drinks were delicious. I would definitely say that I prefer the small plates /appetizers over the pastas and dinner platters. I felt the platters were a bit bland and needed some salt or more depth to it. Pistachio cake was good, but a bit too sweet for my palate. I will be back to try other dishes though. ”
“ Had to try the new happening spot in Ridley Park (Delco). Heard a lot of great things about chef Elijah Mitchell so I HAD to come try his menu. Believe the hype because our table left satisfied. Rosemary has a variety of flavor profiles to choose from the menu so basically there's fun for everyone. Started with some cocktails (spicy margs) and apps. Burrata Toast is a must have. Mains include different pasta dishes. If you like lamb please do yourself a favor and get the Smoked Lamb Mafaldine. Flavorful, comforting, and something you'll probably come back for. The ambience felt similar to something you'd find in center. High bar, great lighting with patrons hustling and bustling. Came during the first few weeks of opening so chef Mitchell was on the floor checking on guests. Nice treat to an overall great experience. ”
“ YO! This place is no joke - get all the perks of style, execution, and flavor of a center city restaurant, but without the the hassle of actually having to be in the city. Blown away by their brunch, but it started with the service. When we pulled up to this the main drag in Ridley Park, we were able to get parking right outside the restaurant. My wife went inside to get our table and I was walking across the street to the 7-11 to get quarters for metered parking. I was stopped by a gentleman who chased me down, noticing my wife and I split ways, and he let me know that the host/hostess has quarters to pay for your meter. INCREDIBLE! (It is a quarter for 20 mins, for what it's worth.) Our server inside was attentive and friendly, and you could just see the team there really is clicking on all cylinders. We ordered their biscuits with smoked honey butter as an appetizer...dang! Let me tell you, these jawns were warm, flaky, and salty. The butter was fire and was soaked up nicely by the dense biscuit layers. I ordered the steak and eggs, and felt like it challenged any great breakfast dish I have ever ordered. The steak was cooked medium, and was just down right delicious. Topped with a chimichurri sauce, it paired so wel with the creamy eggs and crispy potatoes. On top of that, you get bone marrow with it, and that tied it all together with an umami finish. The decor in here was tasteful as well - very relaxing. Their main color palette centered around sage/evergreen finish that circled the restaurant and complimented the hardwood flooring. Open air, with really nice in-laid lighting around the booth seating. I cannot wait to get back here for dinner & drinks! ”
“ Wow. Only been open 2 weeks and it's amazing. Parking can be a challenge (street parking) - but one of the owners showed us which spots were 3 hour spots and the greeter gave us the coins to pay the meter - problem solved. Started with a cocktail - we tried 2 different ones - and they were very good. Started with an amazing broiled oyster app and an over the top delicious shrimp appetizer. We then tried the Peruvian chicken (phenomenal - moist, complex flavors with way it was cooked and the sauces) and the cowboy pork chop (so tender and had a berry sauce - delicious). They do like to minimize substitutions (and we both have dietary restrictions) but they made it happen. We also tried the best broccolini we've ever had (along with the best oysters and pork). Service was great, knowledgable and friendly. Great experience from walking in the door to completion. Adding Rosemary to our favorite restaurants list! ”
“ Just from reading and seeing the few pictures I saw, I knew this place would be a winner for me. I wondered if other people would notice and attend as many of the parking meters are only 30 - 60 min and no credit cards taken at meter either. Ridley Park needs to update their meters to allow more accessibility to stay in downtown longer to have more variety of establishments like this one. A classy foodie's dream. Come here for small portions but really super well done food. Great place for dining or a classy date. Maybe not for a typical first date unless you and your date happen to be big time foodies or you are into the restaurant business. Don't come here for cheaper eats - many other places for that kind of style. Everything was flavorful, juicy, and/or fresh from the slightly crunchy focaccia with flavored butter spread to the blackened fish w potato seasoned sauce to the pistachio Neapolitan like layered cake. My friend has a duck pasta and it was made great for his palate and disposition. He helped me realize how smart it was to use the duck skin and fry it into crumb bits to put on the pasta. I would've personally preferred the greasier crispy duck skin and duck meat with the pasta but that is personal preference. I also prefer Far East Descendant's coffee martini over the one here but the one here is well done too. I am not sure what they do there that is different than here. A beautiful dining area- nothing outrageous or anything of that nature and all focused on class, elegance, and decor. A complete makeover from the Burgundy Lounge and a great makeover it is! There was barely enough room to have two seats at the bar and this place was reserved up the wazoo otherwise on only the 3rd day for its soft opening. I was also surprised to be asked if I had been here before as it was only its third day open. It probably would have been true if I was able to find out when they opened as I did try to inquire online beforehand. The person who I believe is the owner told me that he expected me back and that did go without saying. This place is here to stay and has become one of my favorite dinner spots. ”
