Discovered this cute place. Love the bar and decor, but when we went, there were not a lot of people so the vibe was a little off. However food was amazing!

It’s worth trying once but not going back to. I thought the food was good, but not great and our waiter was not particularly helpful in guiding us through the somewhat eclectic menu.

Wabi on Rose delivered an amazing experience! Despite being late, we were graciously accommodated at the sushi bar, and Sterling’s warm welcome set the tone. The service was impeccable, with spot-on recommendations and perfectly timed courses. Highlights included the James Brown hand roll, steak skewers, spicy edamame, and the Peach Perfection cocktail. The upbeat music added to the lively vibe. Fantastic food, great drinks, and top-tier service—I’ll definitely be back!

Had a great time. The waitress was more than patient with friends and I. One of them had diet restrictions and she patiently gave us time to figure out how the menu would work for her. The seating and lights where stunning and food was really good. To our surprise, we came on a day they did karaoke and had a lot of fun before heading out. We stayed much longer than we thought we would. Love the free parking. Cute little quaint area. Would definitely go back for the try all menu.
