We were here last night for out belated V-Day dinner. I had a pretty nice meal, we started with the crispy calamari salad (it had an interesting texture - with spring greens, some bitter greens, bananas) - overall pretty tasty. I ordered the seared tuna - pretty delish, the veggies were a bit on a salty side (but I generally find a ton stuff kind of salty). My bf ordered the steak, which was a done quite well also.
I love the decor! It's pretty quiet on Friday nights, so super great to have a nice romantic dinner and enjoy your date's company!
Thumbs up! -

My friend and I checked out this supper club on a fine Friday evening. We had a good time, enjoyed the decor, had a decent meal and laughed a lot =)
Location - convenient, lots of street parking and green Ps in the area. Cabs are also fairly easy to grab
Venue - bigger than the eyes can see, super high ceiling, cute tall chairs... Overall it's chiquement décoré. It was a little loud, perhaps becauase it was a busy night. The bathroom is where this resto lost most of its points (kinda stinky, doors dont lock properly). It calls for a makeover, BIG TIME!!
Staff - friendly, professional and courteous!! Made the dining experience more pleasurable.
Food - the cream of cauliflower was delightful, but the salmon I ordered wasnt as fresh as it should be so it smelled a little fishy. My friend's sirloin strips were tasty and nicely presented. Desserts were cute and light. Yumza!!
Drinks - had a sexy sangria and YES it was sexy, baby!!
Would return for private functions.... Just have to organize them so the bosses pick up the tab =P -

We went to dinner on Friday 20 April. we only order the entree, but waiting about 45min. The food is only ok. But we are surprise for the dessert. I'm the sweet big fans. This is the best desert i've ever had to compare other restaurant in financial district, even the most fine dinning.Excellent!
The building is memorable, the waiter is professional, but the food is so slow, maybe good for dating and some occasion. -

2.5 stars **
Rosewater presents itself as an upscale fine dining experience. The interior is spacious, ringing with elegant, modern, and chic design. It is a great place for venues or private functions.
Bread came around with different selections (Tonight's selections were black olive, whole wheat, flat, and French baguette)
Ordered:
Appetizers:
Seared Scallops with Baby Spinach Risotto - The risotto was creamy and tasty. Along with the scallops that was seared and cooked to perfection. A pleasant appetizer to start.
Mains:
Pan seared Quebec Duck Breast with Yukon Potato Rosti - Came with caramelized grapes. I felt the combination of flavours didn't work well with each other, as there was too many things going on at once. The potato rosti was was very delicious. The duck breast was prepared medium rare and tasted quite savoury for the first few bites, but when cooled, it was tough to chew through.
Sterling Silver Striploin Steak with Truffle Butter Baked Potato - Cooked and prepared as ordered - Medium Rare. The steak itself was flavourful, with a nice sear on the outside. There are some areas that was difficult to chew, as you know it is not the best cut.
Dessert:
Belgium Chocolate Molten Cake with Ice Cream - One of the more disappointing meals of the evening. The molten cake itself did not impress me, as it tasted like any other standard chocolate cakes I've had. Though, it did work well with the caramel ice cream and burnt sugar. But then again, how can you go wrong with cake and ice cream?
Overall, the food is uninspiring and lacking that wow-factor at the price point that you're paying. Bill came to $120 for two.
Service was excellent and spot on, checking up on us at least once for every new dish that arrived.
If it weren't for that $50 gift certificate that I received, I wouldn't have come here to try. Gave it a shot, but will not be returning.Listed in: 30-Day Yelp Challenge: October…

For an event venue and non-foodie place, we thought the dinner Rosewater was pretty good. Its a nice venue with its high ceiling, pretty murals but to be honest, we didn't have high hopes for the food. We were redeeming a gift certificate and thought it would be a nice night out.
We ordered some reasonably priced wines and sampled the types of bread which were okay. Went straight for the main course (Tagliatelle and Cornish hen) which were both well prepared and delicious. Sure its no 'Torito' or 'Black Hoof' but maybe they are not going for that. Some places are just for the experience of dining at a glamorous place. Its definitely a more 'older-non foodie' crowd though.
I do have to say I expected better service from such a high end place. My theory is that if you aren't looking to score high points on your menu, you should excel in service and ambiance. We weren't even brought water or attended to for the first 20 minutes and it wasn't a busy night at all. Until a manage saw us glancing around, none of the 6/7 servers milling around came to our table. We finally got a nice enough guy but who was a bit pushy with appetizers and dessert. He checked in often and when I said I was too full from the main to order dessert, he commented about how that would be true because I finished that giant plate of pasta!!! DUDE, not cool! you never say that to a girl. Obviously, we didn't say anything and left a generous tip. But in retrospect, I'm not sure if there's a reason to come back. -

Rosewater is more like a 2.5. We really only went here because we had a gift certificate for $50 so we figured it would be a cheap-ish meal.
It's a gorgeous space with great decor and I could see it being an awesome venue for a private party.
But the food is just really "meh". Uninspired menu and with such a high price point - you expect the food to be amazing. But it's not. Appetizers ranged from $14-$20 and mains from $26-$50ish. Ouch. Too spendy for such boring food.
I had the Cornish Hen for $28, it came flattened and served nice and crispy with some grilled asparagus and portobello mushroom. DC had the Blackened Grouper ($32?) which came served with some vegetables and a tiny (3 small pieces) "dynamite" roll.
Our server seemed a bit creepy and not too polite at the beginning, but he sorted out his act towards the end.
At least the wine was very reasonably priced - glasses starting from $7. Lots of free bread was brought over (on two separate occasions).
Patrons seemed mostly geriatric. I wouldn't return. -

Date Night! Third date in 11ish months for me and my man :)
Although it was a work related function, I still had a wonderful time.
Dinner was held on the second floor of the restaurant in a private banquet type room. Lots of sparkly and pretty chandeliers. Decor seemed very English. Made me think of tea, biscuits, and big floppy hats.
Meal was decent. I had the lamb as an entree and it was pretty yummy but it did not knock my socks off. About 30% of my cut was just fat - it was kind of sickening. The portion size was also a little small. For sides, all I had was two or three pieces of asparagus and maybe 4 pieces of potato, and one carrot. My husband had the veal (which I just didn't feel like trying - its a baby!) which he said was decent as well - did not knock his socks off either.
Dessert was creme brulee and it was fabulous!!!!
Service was really friendly.
Not sure if we would come back on our own and spend our own hard earned dollars at this place (based on what was served to us that night) ... but any chance to wear a party dress and high heels is a fun night for me :) -

Rosewater is ok.
I've been for a wedding, for dinner, for a corporate event and for a film festival party.
all in all, i like the space. I think it's fun to drink there. I especially like the private dinning rooms downstairs.
But to be honest, everytime i've eaten here, i've been disappointed. Essentially, they do the staples really well - steaks, lamb, salmon, etc. What they can't do well is anything that requires a little bit of skill - the foie, the rissotto, taglia telle, etc.
I'd go here for a party, but i would not spend money here on dinner. I just don't feel it's fully worth it. -

Last night (a Wednesday) I attended a networking event at the Rosewater Room organized by Women of Influence.
I really liked the upstairs space used - with windows at both the front and back of the building and beautiful moldings etc. this a beautiful space.
With over 150 people in attendance there was still space to move around and mingle behind the formal seating area.
The service was courteous and efficient - absolutely no complaints about how the event was managed by the Rosewater Room staff. The passed food was delicious and warm, which are both always a appreciated when you don't know what to expect.
Not that I have experience working with the venue, but as a guest I would consider this space if organizing an event in the future - for a personal or corporate event. -

I received a $ 50 gift certificate from yoga in motion for this particular restaurant & decided to come here w/ my bf. Overall, we had a wonderful & romantic evening. The décor & ambiance was very BEAUTIFUL (please see photos). The food was absolutely AMAZING. Before coming to the restaurant I was afraid we would have to hang out at McDonalds as it's noted to have small portions. However, Rosewater filled us just right & we left very satisfied. We ordered...
Seared Scallops - Potato & pancetta risotto, corn & truffle foam $17
The sauce was heavenly & very rich. Scallop was just perfect as well Funny we were going to order the smoked salmon but because the scallopS (note the plural) we assumed there would be two ...one for each of us ;) It was one of the best appetizer I've had.
Wild Mushroom Risotto - Dungeness crab, truffle essence $28
We both ordered the risotto. Very cheesy & tasty! I've never eaten so slow before...but that's because I wanted to savour every spoonful!
Classic Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée with Earl Grey Scented Ice Cream
& Scottish Oat Cake $9
Definitely one of the best crème brulee's I've ever had!! My bf usually only eats about 25% of the dessert if we're sharing but this time he really took his 50% share! Bugger!
Service here was excellent. They always checked on us to see if we needed anything & filled our water. Although in the beginning we thought the waiter would be a problem as my bf ordered water & the waiter was like water? sure! Nearly walking away w/o asking me what I had wanted....a sprite :D We just don't like paying for overpriced alcoholic beverages.
Would love to come back one day especially for a special occasion.Listed in: Wedding Reception Venues in…

I attended Rosewater for dinner on a Saturday night last year and I was not impressed. What makes this a Supper Club as opposed to a restaurant with a bar? I have no idea. Maybe so their customers can tell their friends on Monday they went to "the Supper Club".
At first it comes off as a legitimate fine dining establishment but by the end of the night it is plainly obvious everything is manufactured to be just so. It seems as though someone picked up "Trendy Restaurants for Dummies" and ran with every idea in the book.
Throughout the evening I was constantly coming to realizations about the reality of what this place really was.
When I made the reservation I thought it sounded like a true fine dining experience. Then when I got there I realized, like everywhere else in the club district, it attracts those not necessarily interested in fine-dining so much as seeing and being seen.
When I spoke to the hostess when we walked in I got that unmistakable downtown Toronto attitude that so many young women seem to have in the restaurant/bar business. It must be written right into the job description.
When the waiter came is was apparent we were going to get that wonderful nonchalant service for which so many Toronto waiters are famous. Is it too much to ask for a waiter to appear attentive or even remotely interested in providing a fulsome dining experience? Apparently so.
When the food came I was more impressed with it than the service, but that isn't saying much. It was nothing horrible and nothing special. Middle of the road in every sense.
To be fair, I believe many of these things can be explained by the simple fact that they don't attract (or want to attract) customers that care. Since it is blatantly apparent most of the customers are folks with money but lacking in taste and refinement (mostly young Bay streeters and/or children of wealthly parents) they don't know that where they're eating is just a bunch of bastardized elements of better restaurants jammed into one place. The waiters probably give attitude because they get it from these kind of customers. The food probably isn't that good because their customers don't know good food.
None of these things matter because the kind of people it would matter to don't eat there. Why spend time on the food and wine menu when the most important thing your customers care about it the mixed drink menu?
The customer is always right and indeed they have spoken and Rosewater has listened. If the market demands no truly fine-dining establishments how can I expect the market to supply them? So how can I fault them? I can't. But I still will, because with a location like this with such grand architecture (the inside really is beautiful) they almost have a social responsibility to establish a proper restaurant and not just a place to grab a bite and some drinks before going to the club. -

The word Winterlicious must be synonymous with "treat me like shit and serve me dry salmon" because that certainly seems to be the case this year.
Rosewater on a normal day with a normal menu is a great restaurant to eat and be served in (creative menu, fresh ingredients and great service) but the minute the word 'winterlicious' uttered from our mouths upon entering, all smiles disappeared and we were led promptly to a wobbly table in the upstairs dining room. It is such a shame that good service needs to be absent for a city wide food festival such as this.
The food was a hit and miss on every course. The apps were very stale and dry (thank god for the great selection of Mike Weir wines to help wash it all down) however, the maple smoked chicken on focaccia was juicy and full of flavour served alongside baked frites. For dessert, my brioche downright sucked whereas my friends sorbet rocked her knickers right off.Listed in: The WinterLISTcious!

I have to agree with Ktimene on this. The interior is great and very impressive but the menu they serve for Winterliscious is pathetic and tasteless. I went there 2 years ago for Winterliscious and had the exact same menu and experience. You would think that serving the exact same dishes for over 2 years now that they would have at least improved the taste?
Too Bad Rosewater as you are such a great building and grand interior. Why cheap out on the Winterliscous menu? If you are not going to give 100% then simply stop participating in the semi-annual event..... -

This was our fourth time eating at Rosewater and probably our last for a while. We've enjoyed our dinners here in the past but this time we did not, and it was due to the service.
We arrived and were seated promptly in the main dining room. It wasn't overly busy today and I do enjoy the dining area. Our waiter offered us sparkling water but we said flat water would be fine. Five minutes later another waiter appeared and poured us two glass of water without asking if bottled water is what we wanted (there was a charge for this on our bill). We ordered a bottle of red wine that didn't show up until after we received our appetizer which was the jumbo shrimp. The breaded medium shrimp that arrived instead tasted like something out of our freezer.
The mains took another 45 minutes after our appetizers were finished. There was some crumbs and spilled sauce that remained on our table until our mains had arrived. If this was Kelsey's or some other type of family restaurant I wouldn't think twice but seeing as this is a $200 a meal establishment I would have figured that the waiter at least wipe down our table. The steak and salmon were delicious which raises this review from being a one-star.
We used a $50 gift certificate which for whatever reason was entered in as $44.25 cents off our final bill. Our waiter was so scarce that we just decided to pay and leave.
I'm usually pretty forgiving when it comes to reviews but the service here just rubbed me the wrong way. It seems to be spotty however so maybe you'll have better luck. -

I've been to Rosewater once for winterlicious and once for summerlicious. Both times there were things that I really liked and things that I really did not like. I'm going to comment mainly on my recent winterlicious experience.
The service was really really good, and that is one of the reasons why I gave this review 3 stars... or else it would have been 2 stars. The hostess was friendly, the waiter even offered to check up on our friends who were smoking outside.
The venue was nice, but the food was not up to par. The only thing I liked about my meal was the crab cake appetizer, the dinner and even dessert flopped. My dinner was tuna that was "rare", but really it should have been labeled raw. It was just like a huge slab of tuna sashimi that was warm because it was sitting on warm vegetables. My friends got the beef dish and they left the fat on it and they didn't enjoy that either. The dessert was some chocolate cherry thing, but I didn't see any cherry... I think they ran out and used strawberry instead or maybe the cherry was hidden in the sauce. It was hard on the outside and doughy in the inside. The inside tasted like cooked flour with chocolate flavouring. Very disappointed.
Just a warning for those coming here for the winterlicious event. -

I was just at Rosewater for my friend's engagement party and I was just amazed by the architecture and interior design of this venue.
It is decked out in shades of off-pink tones and provides a warm feeling with the sunlight peeking through its very tall windows. It also uses marble, large pillars with carved designs and fountains to create a really relaxing and classy atmosphere.
On top of that, they have a room downstairs near the restrooms that resembles an old school social meeting room or scotch bar.
I haven't been to Rosewater for a meal but for the appetizers and food I had at this party, I left completely satisfied and thought about the interesting ways they made up the food - yogurt smoothies in shot glasses, fresh juices all over the place and yummy mini belgian waffles.
Overall, this is a great place for a private function and I am sure amazing for a night out! -

The theme at Rosewater is "too much goin' on".... This goes for both the decor with its garish, over-the-top, attempt at elegance as well as the food which is either over-spiced or tries to make use of flavors that simply overpower one another.
When I walked in the door it felt like I'd just stepped into a scene from Scarface. 80s' lavish excess is the style they seemed to be going for here. The crowd looked like it was made up of rich guys from Woodbridge with too much cologne and hair gel trying to impress their floozyesque dates.
Now lets get to the food. We started with the seared fois gras. The actual liver was delish, however it was served with cooked fig which is too sweet and overpowers the delicate flavor of the duck liver. An amateur mistake, if you ask me. We also had the Beef Tataki - WAY over-spiced - I could barely taste the meat. On to the mains! The Big Eyed tuna was over-spiced, are you getting the theme here? The tuna itself was a wonderful cut of fish cooked to perfection but ruined by a heavy handed cook. We also had the Black Cod on flavorless mashed potatoes drizzled with what appeared to be Cambell's vegetable soup. On top of the cod were two over-cooked, rubbery shrimp - another amateur mistake.
We didn't even attempt dessert since by this point it was clear the caliber of the cuisine did not match price tag. Thankfully we had $50 off coupon - a sure sign the restaurant is in trouble.
The only good thing about this place was the service. The staff were all very cheerful, bubbly and helpful. I'm happy their attitudes didn't match the pretense of their surrounding.
In my opinion, the dinning experience should be 90% food and 10% everything else. This place was designed to cater to the flashy yet unrefined wannabe gourmet who's crude pallet and desire to impress their date with big checks and ostentatious surroundings override the value of good food... If you're even the slightest bit a foodie, save yourself the trip - even if you do have a coupon. -

Elegant crown molding, pink marble, cool use of glass to enclose rooms-- the atmosphere is nice. Almost Starck-ish with the Alice in Wonderland tall booths.
We had the Winterliscious menu. Excellent Valpolicella and Sauvignon Blanc wines by the glass., but the food disapointed.
Tender grilled calamari starter was nice, but lobster bisque was beyond bland.
Chicken was so dry that my roots of my teeth ached from unclenching my jaw.
Chocolate chunk creme brulee was sooo decadent during consumption, but caused sugary tummy ache up until this morning.
Such a shame that the gorgeous interior defeats the food quality. -

I am so excited I am the first to review Rosewater. This place is absolutely gorgeous. The main dining room is beautiful - 22 foot ceiling, hand painted moldings and hardwood floors and huge windows. The restaurant also features an upper mezzanine and a supper club on the lower level.
There's a real feeling of romance and history in the Rosewater - every time I'm here I feel like royalty.
I went for a friend's birthday during Summerlicious and the food was to die for. I started with a tomato and basil salad which was deliciously refreshing. For my main course I had the salmon with rice and vegetables and it was delicious - a healthy portion and cooked to tender, flaky perfection. For dessert I had a chocolate cake which was mouth watering and did not last long on my plate. I also had a summer cocktail which was vodka and cranberry and some other fruit juices and it was also very tasty.
Our server was wonderful; he took our picture, brought out a special birthday dessert for our friend and delivered our food quickly. For a fine-dining establishment, the prices are pretty standard. But for just for the decor and ambiance, I would recommend spending your pennies at Rosewater! -

I've been to the Rosewater for lunch, dinner, corporate events, a wedding and Winterlicious and I've never been disappointed. The food is always good (though just shy of 5-star worthy) and there's a nice buzz in the atmosphere. The decor is beautiful, with interesting art and furniture. For a place owned by a large conglomerate I think they actually did a pretty good job of creating something unique decor-wise. I get the "garrish" take some people have, but it doesn't strike me that way. Service has always been top notch. I've never thought the portions were small as some reviewers have mentioned.

Note -this is a review of the Rosewater Room (the events venue), not the Rosewater Supper Club (the restaurant)!
The Rosewater Room is an exceptional venue to book for a wedding or formal party. It is beside the well-known Rosewater Supper Club (at 19 Toronto Street), located in a neo-classical building with its own entrance and elevator. After much research, my husband and I were very happy to find this venue for our wedding. Its decor boasts hand crafted chandeliers and mouldings and echoes the feeling of an intimate ballroom (sans le fromage). What's so cost effective about this place is that with such beautiful architectural details, very little had to be spent in the way of florals or decor. All of our guests commented on the exquisite architectural details and the professional service and staff. The venue also has an in-house event planner who is exceptional and so easy to work with. My only qualm is that the wine list was quite limited. The food was "good" but being foodies, it's not the most lavish culinary experience we've ever had. By wedding food standards though, it was exceptional. If you're looking for a venue for your wedding, do yourself a favour and make an appointment to see this space. It ended up being quite cost effective and completely hassle and headache free. -

We received a gift certificate for Rosewater Lounge for our anniversary and decided to check it out the weekend after. It happened to be on the first day of summerlicious and the place was packed but they managed to reserve a great table for us. We didn't do the summerlicious menu (not allowed with a gift certificate) but the food was really good. My husband ordered a steak and i got the risotto and finished with a great dessert. They have a great selection of wine and the service was fantastic. We spent about three hours over dinner and really liked ambience (large and romantic). Will definitely return.

I went to a TIFF ET party and received a $50 gift certificate to Rosewater. So we used it last week. This place is so amazing. I made a reservation online and everything ran smooth when we got there. The hostess took our jackets and hung them up and escorted us to our table. Now the place is a good size, but what you don't see are the other rooms they have. Rosewater has 5 rooms. I wish got to see them all. This is a classy place, so don't show up in jeans and a T or your going to feel like an idiot The service was really good. there was a guy always coming around with fresh bread. Our server was really nice and attentative. The decor was what i liked the most. Very well thought out and interesting. It was very intimate. I couldn't really hear the other tables around us which is always nice when your having a romantic dinner lol . Its expensive but its worth it. The food is sooo good. My bf got cornish hen....it was ridiculous. I got salmon and it was really good also, but i wish i got the hen. Definitely going back.

I had a wonderful experience at the Rosewater and am quite surprised at the amount of negative reviews that are floating around hyperspace regarding this place.
Now, I was there on a Saturday night and this may have something to do with the quality of the food that may not be as on the mark on other nights of the week.
The ambiance is something worth mentioning as well. The restaurant is situated on Toronto Street in an older part of the city (one of the areas that hasn't been torn down to make way for shiny new buildings. The building itself was built in 1906 and the management of the restaurant have done a nice job of maintaining the original old world quality of the interior while adding touches of the modern which combine together nicely. The walls and ceiling are the original designs while an upper level of wood and glass has been added. There is also a waterfall running down the wall on the other side of the bar which isn't overdone and yet adds somrthing to the environment. The restaurant is spacious, open and a nice place to have a meal.
Okay, on to the food...
The service was great and professional. Someone always came around to make sure everything was to our liking and yet they were not intrusive. As soon as the food arrived (appetiser or main) someone was there to offer you freshly ground pepper. There was a selection of bread that a waiter came around with and served from a tray to begin. There was a nice selection of breads to suit all tastes from fresh white to whole grain to bread sticks.
My starter was the crispy tiger prawns. They were displayed nicely, but more importantly, they were delicious. There were about six lightly breaded plump and juicy prawns served on a long plate, in a row. They were arranged on a bed of orange sauce and a few slices of mandarin oranges. Green onion was laid overtop of the prawns in a cross pattern. At one end of the plate was a small serving of small lettuce leaves and at the other end of the long plate was a small serving of caviar. The flavours of the orange, onion and caviar all complimented the prawns very well and the serving was very generous.
For the main course I had the trio of duck (breast, confit and fois gras). The duck breast was nicely done (I chose to have it medium) and the confit and fois gras were served in a separate dish that was fresh out of the oven (baked). The breast was covered in a nice cherry jus that didn't overpower the duck but instead enhanced the flavour and complimented it very nicely. The fois gras was served on a bed of baked mashed potato which made for a delicious combination. Also on the plate was an assortment of steamed asparagus, baby carrots and shallots. There were all well cooked and yet maintained there crispness, which is how you want them to be. The portion was quite generous and my friend and I were very full by the end.
The meal was a little pricy but well worth it and at the end my friend and I both said that we would be back again.
This place is worth it for a nice meal out, most defiantly.
Enjoy!
