Now I have a real question ......... I called Rose Plantation yesterday to see when they will be open for lunch. No one there yet. Has anyone had similar experience? I imagine they must be flat out trying to get ready to open, but would like to reach someone.

Drove by there Wed. afternoon appeared like they were having something going on as there was a gentleman dressed in white shirt, black vest and pants checking cars entering the gate. there were several cars already parked. Private party, maybe? Also a large sign on the fence which said "Open Soon" no dates or anything else. The outside of the venue looks very nice and inviting, appears there is a lake behind the plantation house. Don't know if they have access to it but would make a pretty view from the house. We are looking forward to try them out. A tad pricey but if food good...worth it.

Someone posted on Facebook that they were there for a soft opening last night. Below are 2 of his postings.
Of course, this was a soft opening that they use to learn from. ****************************** Food and service was not very good and pricey for what you got. ****************************** (Someone reminded him it was a soft opening) I understand but for the price they need to be much better. Two of the prime rib dishes were room temperature and my fish was burnt in several spots.

I just saw that they were talking about the remodeling job in their reviews.

One should not go to a soft opening...........if you cannot accept that it is a soft opening!
Some people can find something to bitch about because they think they are special.

Four of us went to Rose Plantation tonight. A beautiful setting. The owners are lovely and working with diligence to make a wonderful dining experience for their guests. They do have a lot of wine choice contrary to other reports. Dinner choices included steak, chicken picata, and grouper. All meals were delicious though asking for the steak to be cooked Pittsburgh style was not totally successful. The chocolate mouse is fabulous and we heard others raving about the bread pudding. The restaurant is new and is striving to meet the palates of Villagers, it is a fabulous option to the "same old". And such a gorgeous location. Definitely recommend it.
Also I called initially and got voice mail today. Left a message and received a call back with a reservation for tonight. If you did not get called back, call again. They just opened! It's busy there and the owners are working so hard to make this a great dining experience. And by the way, they live in Collier. |

We tried to go last night, but we're unable without a reservation. The man very politely told us he was unable to seat us. He gave us a card and a menu . The place is gorgeous! We are going next Saturday. This looks like a lovely place for a romantic dinner. The pics don't do it justice. On a lake, Has a really nice covered porch area near the lake. Beautiful roses. The menu is small but adequate. Prices are what they should be in my opinion. Come on Bonnie where's your review!!

I really like the "reservation only" policy. No standing around in long lines waiting to get in. Also, if they have an approximate number of patrons for the evening they can pretty much judge the food needed.

Great to hear that the Rose Plantation, will be a reservation only establishment . IMHO, in total fairness to the owner and others who would like to make reservations--all reservations should be secured with a non-refundable deposit via credit card.

Guess many on this site have never been self-employed--a reservation that doesn't show is lost income--Arnold Palmer & Hemmingways-requested a secured reservation for special events--nothing wrong with it if you show up
