Rowland is a cozy neighborhood restaurant, popular for its fun nights at the bar, and offering a variety of outstanding cocktails and a good wine selection. The menu features intriguing appetizers, such as fish rolls and bruschetta, which are well-seasoned, but the main courses may be disappointing due to small portions and underseasoning. For instance, the eggplant and rainbow trout dishes could benefit from more salt and acid. Desserts like the apple croissant and tiramisu are small but pleasant.
Service during regular nights is gracious and engaging, yet on busier occasions, it might be less attentive, with occasional miscommunication. The pacing of the courses, however, is commendable. The atmosphere is intimate and dark, with upbeat techno music and the option of outdoor seating in good weather. Although parking can be challenging, the restaurant offers a surprising and enjoyable dining experience. It is highly recommended to make reservations in advance.
In summary, Rowland is a charming neighborhood restaurant with delightful appetizers and a pleasant ambiance, but inconsistent service and underseasoned main courses might detract from an otherwise enjoyable dining experience.
