The more I visit Rockford, the more I like it. : ) One of the main reasons is: The Irish Rose.
IrishRose.Rockford.
Upon walking through the door, one might think, "Aw shit, it's an Irish Pub so, I'll get some chips…" Then BOOM, you take a look at the menu and the specials and you're like,
"Mmmmhhhmmm, I'm good here. Really, good."
I like to sit at the bar because the staff at The Rose, is beyond, Fabu
and CAN make a GREAT cocktail too. ( Yes, I know, it rhymes )
#Haha
Let's get down and dig on the nom, nom, Bread Plate which is FULL of Veggie Love.
Olive oil, Parmesan, Basil Pesto & Sun-dried Tomato Pesto and of course, the bread. #NomNom
Other things to munch on while awaiting the many Veggie Love entrees offered are:
Wood Grilled Zucchini, Mozzarella with Tomato & Basil on Bruschetta, Peruvian Mountain Asparagus, and a few salads, of course.
You're not full yet are ya?

Do yourself the favor and just go there now. : )
