This was my second time at Rooh and I went with a larger group. Just as fantastic as the first time, 2 years ago! We had a mix of dietary restrictions at our table (vegan, gluten free, shellfish allergy, etc) and they accommodated them all. Every dish is delicious, but the eggplant and cutlets were stand outs. Other people in the group liked the pork belly best. Service was great, very attentive. Ambiance was great, not too loud. Price is for sure worth it.

This place was very beautiful. Enjoy my experience. The food was good. Service was great. Only thing I didn’t care for was the music for such a beautiful elegant place they wasn’t playing Christmas music that wasn’t playing jazz music or instrumental music they were playing techno music I did not care for that in such a beautiful setting. The music should’ve been jazz , Christmas,something soft playing not techno music that really threw me off in such a beautiful setting
