Rose is a modern craft cocktail restaurant and lounge, located on the waterway in The Woodlands, Texas! A well-executed cocktails is a standard prerequisite. What makes us unique? The rendering of a cocktail is in fact an art form. No, it’s not just the steps of putting together ingredients, shaking them up and pouring them into a cocktail glass! Although we are great at that too.

    We had a lovely dinner with deliciously flavorful food. For starters, we selected the Fried Green Tomatoes— a nice combination of tanginess and spice. We ordered the Fish Fry with the accompanying Mac and Cheese and Collard Greens for the main entree. Our server, Rick was very pleasant and genuinely kind. Not only was he attentive, but knowledgeable about the menu items as well.

    Always a favorite of ours. The special for Valentine’s was amazing. And it was my husband’s 60th birthday….mentioned it as we were paying our bill, and the server said we got a free dessert. However we had to leave to meet friends, so he said we could have a rain check for the free dessert. Top notch!

    Sam was *PHENOMENAL*!!! Will request her if possible moving forward! Personable, attentive, FRIENDLY and thoughtful! They have gluten free beer, dessert, meal options, etc. This was beyond appreciated and tasted no different! Impressive! The only downside this time was 2 tables of screaming/squealing children that were running around under servers carrying trays and such. That’s a no-win situation for anyone, esp waitstaff.
