Dress Code: Casual Chic???
I have to check to see if I have any of that in my closet before making reservations.
The pictures on the website look delicious though. Especially those triangles that look like they’re made out of asparagus spears.

The old Winders Motor Company showroom is stacking up with some very high end shops lately as they anticipate the openings of Rosendale’s restaurant. Fibres is the newest joining a wine shop, interior design, and clothing boutique. This is the boutique central: Hubbard and High. Who knew?

“Casual chic” sounds like a fancy way of saying no jeans or shorts & t-shirts maybe? Maybe this thread can become another dress codes debate? ;)
The new place sounds good – can’t wait to try it out. Any of the CU reviewers already have their reservations set?
Nah, “casual chic” sounds to me like jeans that cost at least 120 bucks…
Of all the different seven/diesel/true religion/rock&republic jeans I own…I am LOVIN this new pair of Levi 527′s…and they were only $50! HOLLA!
You bitches all must be rich to be eating out AND buying threads like that. me=jealous ;)

Totally with ya Nd, I’ve got Diesels, Sevens, and Papers…but my favorite pair is Eddie Bauer for 55!
I think my favorite is a pair of Lucky Brand jeans that somehow got passed down the food chain all the way to Marshall’s and therefore was only $30 or so instead of $75.
Q: “What’s your favorite label? True Religion? Zegna?”
A: “Clearance!”

But I’d be worried about wearing jeans to a place that wanted “casual chic.” Maybe if you had a good button-down and a good pair of shoes to go with them, but otherwise, I’d leave the denim at home, no matter the retail tag.
I disagree. :shock:
Yep, I totally think casual chic would be jeans…just trendy/hip/upscale outfit with the jeans.
The fact that “casual” is in the title “casual chic” makes it sound like nice denim is alright.
Wow. The photos here look very nice. 8)
Rosendales – With Many Pictures of Pretty Food
This weekend marked the opening for the much-anticipated Rosendales in the Short North.
As this was the restaurant’s first night in operation, this is not meant to be any sort of review; I just wanted to document my experience. Overall, it seemed as though the folks behind Rosendales were very well-prepared for opening, and they accomplished a feat I haven’t witnessed before in a Columbus restaurant opening: actually opening on the day they said they were going to, with a liquor license, full menu and full wine list. Way to go.
All the food was served on a variety of interesting and super-cool plates, which thrilled me, as I am a sucker for good packaging and presentation.
Without further ado, here’s the documentation of my first (of many, to be sure) meal at Rosendales. . .

Crowds warmly greet Rosendales

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Opening night is always exciting and nervewracking, whether it’s a play or a new restaurant.
Saturday night was no different at Rosendales, the new upscale Short North restaurant in the former Winders auto dealership, 793 N. High St.
Expectations have been high because of the background of the restaurant’s 31-year-old namesake, Richard Rosendale.
The classically trained chef, most recently at the Greenbrier Resort’s prestigious Tavern Room Restaurant in West Virginia, was the American Culinary Federation’s 2005 Chef of the Year. He also was named captain of the American team for the 2008 Culinary Olympics and has amassed more than 40 national and international medals.
Only a few weeks ahead of its opening, Rosendales was booked for its inaugural weekend. A benefit was held for a local school Thursday night, the dress-rehearsal evening for friends was Friday, and the grand opening was Saturday.

On March 17th we and a small group of friends went to dinner at Rosendales. We were excited to be among the first in the city to experience what Richard Rosendale has worked his whole life (I think he’s 30!) to create.
Richard hired Columbus architect Andrew Rosenthal to create the set on which the Rosendale’s team would perform. The space works very well, has enough noise create the bustle and flow you would want a “happening†place to have. My one complaint about the space is that the backs of the booths are too vertical for my troublesome back. The chairs, however, are comfortable enough to encourage you to linger, enjoying the food, the atmosphere and the company of friends. And the lighting is good enough for these older eyes to actually READ the menu – which is extensive, and full of options for almost any palate.
So lets talk about the food; Jan began with the Spicy Red Curry and Eggplant Soup with Lamb Sausage. We have never had an eggplant soup before and this one was explosive with flavor, and texture. Not a lot of spice from my standpoint but I am jaded in that area. Jan loved it. Elliot and Marcia had the “Organized Caesar Salad†This is a cylinder of romaine lettuce , a base and top of parmesan lace, a grape tomato, and a black pepper emulsion. To me this looked great but seemed small. I was assured that the appearance is deceiving and that its taste and mass are worth the $9 cost. Cheryl and I each had the 48 Hour Beef Short Ribs with potato gnocchi in a parmesan scallion butter sauce. Ok, this was well presented, but my first reaction was “where’s the beef?†since there were no ribs, just the two small, perfectly cooked, flavor-packed pieces of beef. Loved it, wanted more. At $12 it seemed a bit high priced, but the flavor was wonderful.

Link to Meesh Blog Post here
Walker – I would like to request that you remove the most recent post, from the “Meesh” blog, as it is almost completely taken from my website, which is copyrighted. Those are my (copyrighted) photographs and mosty my words.
Thanks.
Removed the post. I left the link to the offending post in tact, because I know people are going to want to see it. I guess the post sounded familiar, but I didn’t realize it was mostly the same words and your exact same pictures until I went back to compare!
Hopefully you’ve already contact that blog owner about it. This isn’t the sort of thing local blogs should be doing without getting permission or giving credit where credit is due. :?
Ok, but, it is new restaurant and all restaurants have growing pains. Three of us had dinner, fairly early, 6pm. Our waiter took over 15 minutes to get to our table. Mind you the place was not busy and he did have two other tables at the time. Had to request water, water refill, bread, butter etc etc etc… Appy and main courses came out almost together, maybe 3or 4 minutes apart. Note to front manager, don’t hire servers without lots of experience with these prices.
We shared 6 dishes, appy ribs (4 cubes $12), a salad, and scallops. Main courses veal, rather tasteless, grouper not bad, tad overcooked, and the pork, also pretty neutral tasting. The bread was rectangles of whole grain either slightly toasted or been out too long. The butterEVOO combination was excellent.
Bill north of $200, which I don’t mind, unless as we all were, still hungry. And no, none of us shop at big and tall stores. (Me 6 feet 165 pounds).
Now I am probably being overly picky, having just spent 2 weeks in Napa/Sonoma where 3 people can dine amazingly for under 150.
Let me know what others who have actually eaten there think.
