We recently dined at Rovers. First, we would like to comment that the food was excellent. However, it was either lukewarm or cold when brought to the table. We were VERY disappointed by our dining experience. Rovers is a very expensive restaurant. We ordered the most extensive tasting menu with wine pairings. When spending over $500 for two on dinner, we would like to savor our meal. Our experience was absolutely the opposite. Eager to get us in and out - we went through approximately 6-8 courses (cannot remember exact number) in 1.5 hours. At one point, my husband held his fork in his hand so that the current course would not be whisked away. It was quite obvious that on a Saturday night, Rovers wanted to use that table. At the end of our meal, with food shoved into us and the wait staff eagerly waiting for us to leave - we did so. We are two professionals who enjoy dining out. However, NEVER again will we give Rovers our business. If they want to treat patrons that they are unfamiliar with like a McDonalds drive through - then fine, but not for us.

Pros: Excellent food

Cons: Rushed Service; Cold Food
