Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Financial District

The service was thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive, and the wine recommendation was spot on. We ordered oysters—I like them briny and bare—but the cucumber foam on these sweet things was revelatory, very good. We shared the tart, which was fine, but the layers could have been more distinct or more flavorful or something. Squid was great with the two textures. And we shared the fish head, which was fun and delicious. Great sauce with it.

This was a part of birthday week for me 😉 we were on our way to the theatre so didn’t want to be caught up in the prolonged prix fixe dinner upstairs (and frankly at our age we just can’t eat that much at once!!) our waiter Tim was a delight and we had some fun and meaningful convos with him. He was very helpful when we were choosing between drinks (amazing) and small plates (inventive). Each was seasoned to perfection and had a bit of kick and creative flavoring (always in the best way possible). Tim also noticed it was my birthday and when we didn’t care for a sweet (savory person here! 😆) he offered a Peruvian pisco liqueur that we both enjoyed. We also liked the playlist. Festive and charming place! We’ll be back and will recommend. 👍🏽

This was a lovely experience. It was a birthday celebration for my daughter in law who is gluten free. The entire menu is gluten free so it was perfect for her. The food was all lovely as was the tea and drinks. I’d highly recommend and we’ll go back.

It was a great experience. Food was delicious, place was nice and staff was amazing!! My family and I will definetely go back!

We had a great lunch at Rosa’s. Zoe, our server, was fantastic and made incredible guacamole table side for us.
