Very sad to hear about this. Joe and his team served up great food and treated their customers with great care.

Sooooo surprised!!! One of our favorites in town!

shocked...sad...upset...why?? loved this place dishes were consistently delish staff always helpful & friendly a true loss to the community

I wanted to try Rose ever since it opened, but every time we made plans to go, my wife would get sick at the last minute. . . I'm very sad about this. It's bad enough that the community can't support retail stores on Bloomfield Ave. . . now restaurants, too? About 20 years ago, when we still had actual stores in town, Dave Dancy (former mayor and councilman) told me that the day was coming when Bloomfield Ave. would be nothing but beauty parlors, nail salons and restaurants. Well, he was pretty close.

Have eaten there a few times and always found it to be a pleasant experience.Perhaps they have become another victim of our economy,that coupled with extremely high rent increases-a friend of mine has an establishment on the Avenue-so I'm familiar.It's always a shame to see any establishment close.May they have good luck in their next endeavor.

Nice guy, but what a bizarre menu? I went there probable 10 times and never saw anyone ordering all that smelly (in my opinion) middle eastern food. Dont think there is much of a demand for curry-type foods in the Caldwells. Plus parking is limited.

I am so sad to hear about this. We loved this restaurant.

I'm sorry about this. We really enjoyed the food there. It was excellent and also not run of the milll with lots of intersting dishes.

Terrific restaurant. Such a loss for our community.

Wow! Excellent food and I was just about to book a large group there because it always had excellent food, but no crowd at lunch. The only issue was trying to find parking, especially if you planned to bring a group.

OMG I am so sorry to hear this. Rose was a great resturant with very good food. It's really getting to be a shame that so many resturants are closing. We need a change in this economy thats for sure.

So sad to see this restaurant close. We always enjoyed a good meal there and the staff and Joe were friendly and always made you feel welcome.

we loved the place and always celebrated special occasions there. so sorry to see it go!!!

We are so sorry to hear that Rose has closed!It is one of our favorite restaurants with the eclectic menu,ambiance and great Staff,Not to mention,Joe the owner/chef and Katie the pastry chef are friendly and so talented!Maybe there is a chance it will reopen??
Caldwell needs to start supporting the small business in town, and help them to survive or it's going to be a long line of closed stores and restaurants up and down Bloomfield Ave.Michelle and Paul Wurzel

NOOOOOO. I just found this gem in July 2012 and had been back several times. I went for lunch on 9/30 and found it closed...I almost cried! RIP Rose Mediterranean!

I never ate there but I did feel that their business sense was a bit odd. I wanted to have a party there that would total @ $800. They wanted a $500 cash deposit. I thought it sounded fishy and didn't have the party. I did heAr the food was delicious!

Rose was one of my favorite restaurants. Eating there was always a special experience. They made the best rack of lamb there. I sincerely hope you will relocate in this area again soon.
