Rouser Restaurant

We had a picture perfect night at Rouser during our stay at the Asher Adams hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make sure she had a perfect birthday weekend. We started with drinks at Bar 119 upstairs, then enjoyed delectable dishes from the Josper charcoal grill. Our favorites were the parker house rolls, steak tartare with bone marrow, prawns with curry (nice heat), scallops over risotto, beets and the Josper Mac and cheese (ordered another immediately). Mary made us feel at home and we loved her enthusiasm and professionalism. We returned to our room in the beautifully renovated train station themed hotel and finished with chocolate covered strawberries and a handwritten birthday card from Cleopatra. She was pampered and we were both impressed by the hotel and restaurant. High

Overall ambiance was nice and lively. Service was great and we appreciated the attention to details by the staff. Pork Ribs appetizer was fantastic while the short ribs entree was a bit lackluster in cohesion and taste. The rabbit pappardelle entree was delicious and plentiful in portion size. The chocolate ash cake was alright as it didn’t taste fresh while the 3 components (chocolate, vanilla, and caramel) paired very well together.

Party of four celebrating a birthday. We arrived before the birthday guest very hungry so went ahead and ordered apps. Service was warm and inviting. The appetizers were fantastic (rolls, ribs, and tartar) which is what lands the food at 2 stars. Everything declined from there. We ordered champagne and were brought three flutes (not the server but what I assume is a wine steward?) and asked if we wanted to wait for a fourth glass. Um, yes please we have four guests. Someone else brought my husband a wine glass. It is just a small detail but when spending over $200pp my expectations of glassware are basic. All the steaks were mostly cooked correctly, but if flame searing, care should be taken to not burn it to an inedible level. Further a bone in ribeye for $125 carries an expectation when

My partner and I dined at Rouser back in March for my birthday, and it was a terrible experience at the time. We decided to give it another try today, and the difference was incredible. The new team and updated menu have completely turned things around. Every dish was flavorful and well balanced. The appetizers, especially the pork ribs and beef tartare, were rich, unique, and perfectly seasoned. The short rib and crispy fried duck were tender, beautifully plated, and full of depth. Service was attentive, and the manager even stopped by to check on us. Valet parking was smooth and convenient, and the atmosphere was much improved. Still moody but comfortably lit. Rouser has really stepped up its game. Excited to come back for the next menu change on December 3. If you haven’t been in a wh

We experienced the final day of the current Josper Counter menu and it was exquisite. Bri was a xenial host/chef, we loved the train-themed exposé, and the exclusive way they cook everything with charcoal and watching it all exposed behind the counter. The menu was exceptional, we loved it all, the highlights were the rolls with the ash butter, the scallops, the wagyu, the duck with the ramen… but really the custard with the curd and crumble— I’ve exhausted innumerable desserts, but this was the best dessert I’ve ever had. Bri is over the new exclusive Josper Counter menu coming out the end of January, and we are excited over the exposition!!!
