text: Overall:\n\nRosemary's should bill itself as \"Fancy Style\" because this is not an authentic \"Nice Restaurant.\"  \n\nI would never return to Rosemary's again.  The food was unimpressive, the service wasn't as good as it should have been and the atmosphere was a mockery of a fine dining establishment.  \n\nFood:  \n\nThe food was OK.  Of the eight or so things I tried I thought two were above average.  The bread they served was slathered with butter and that's always a good thing.  It was delicious, warm and a great way to start the meal.  The one thing I'd describe as memorable was the Maytag Blue Cheese Slaw.  I'd order a plate of this and go home.\n\nI tried two soups and wasn't blown away by either.  My appetizers were a beef carpachio, which was fine and sweetbreads which were chewy.  \n\nMy main course was scallops, which were horribly overcooked.  My friends ordered fish which was also overcooked.  None of my friends raved about their food except for one (you'll see why under the service section).\n\nThe food aimed to be \"high end\" but there was nothing innovative or interesting about this food. \n\nThe drink selection was good, specifically beer.  The drinks were expensive but they had a top notch beer selection.\n\nAtmosphere:  \n\nRosemary's is located in a strip-mall.  Even better, the light over the front door was flickering like one outside a cheap motel.  The artwork on the wall wasn't especially interesting or noteworthy.  There were some framed mirrors by the bar which felt like something out of Crate and Barrel.\n\nMy friends who recommended the place made it sound like it was about to receive a Michelin star but nothing could be farther from the truth.  In a city like Las Vegas, which is full of world-class restaurants, Rosemary's felt like the place in a small town were folks go for their anniversary.\n\nThere's a reason this place is three miles from where all the tourists are.\n\nService:\n\nThe service here aimed to be good but failed at the one thing that supposedly makes them unique.  When we were seated we were asked if there were any food allergies or requests.  This on one hand was very nice because we had several people with food differences.  On the other hand why not just wait until people order to ask such a sweeping question?  Also most people with food differences don't wait until they're asked to share so it seems like a nice question but it's actually quite dumb.\n\nMost servers, when presented with a table full of people with food challenges, would be sure to note any foods that were ordered which have \"hidden meats\" like chicken stock or pork.  Two people, who do not eat ham, were served food with two kinds of bacon.  The server didn't think, \"Hey these people don't eat red meat... maybe that extends to bacon!\"  Since she had pretended to care so deeply my friends ended up eating things they didn't want to.\n\nThis place makes a big show out of being \"fancy\" and their servers are instructed on how to act.  They put on a good show but nothing could hide the fact that our server wasn't comfortable talking to the customers and established no report with our jovial table.  \n\nValue:\n\nRosemary's used quality ingredients in their food but cooked them poorly, did nothing interesting with the food rendering it a waste.  For the $55 I spent on dinner I could have gone to a much higher quality place and had slightly less food.  I don't need to be stuffed with badly cooked scallops and bread to feel I got my money's worth.
