We had a picture perfect night at Rouser during our stay at the Asher Adams hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make sure she had a perfect birthday weekend.
We started with drinks at Bar 119 upstairs, then enjoyed delectable dishes from the Josper charcoal grill.
Our favorites were the parker house rolls, steak tartare with bone marrow, prawns with curry (nice heat), scallops over risotto, beets and the Josper Mac and cheese (ordered another immediately). Mary made us feel at home and we loved her enthusiasm and professionalism.
We returned to our room in the beautifully renovated train station themed hotel and finished with chocolate covered strawberries and a handwritten birthday card from Cleopatra. She was pampered and we were both impressed by the hotel and restaurant. Highly recommended!! #eatlocal

Overall ambiance was nice and lively. Service was great and we appreciated the attention to details by the staff. Pork Ribs appetizer was fantastic while the short ribs entree was a bit lackluster in cohesion and taste.
The rabbit pappardelle entree was delicious and plentiful in portion size. The chocolate ash cake was alright as it didn’t taste fresh while the 3 components (chocolate, vanilla, and caramel) paired very well together.

Party of four celebrating a birthday. We arrived before the birthday guest very hungry so went ahead and ordered apps. Service was warm and inviting. The appetizers were fantastic (rolls, ribs, and tartar) which is what lands the food at 2 stars. Everything declined from there. We ordered champagne and were brought three flutes (not the server but what I assume is a wine steward?) and asked if we wanted to wait for a fourth glass. Um, yes please we have four guests. Someone else brought my husband a wine glass. It is just a small detail but when spending over $200pp my expectations of glassware are basic. All the steaks were mostly cooked correctly, but if flame searing, care should be taken to not burn it to an inedible level. Further a bone in ribeye for $125 carries an expectation when we can get better quality at Ruths Chris for less. Mac n chz was in a searing hot metal dish but remained colder than room temperature. The osso bucco was also room temperature and required a steak knife to cut. We requested two higher end whiskey cocktails and after 30 minutes were told they were out of that whiskey. We ordered desserts, a food runner dropped them not in front of the birthday guest and said, “ we normally do candles but couldnt find them. “ sometimes less is more.

My partner and I dined at Rouser back in March for my birthday, and it was a terrible experience at the time. We decided to give it another try today, and the difference was incredible. The new team and updated menu have completely turned things around.
Every dish was flavorful and well balanced. The appetizers, especially the pork ribs and beef tartare, were rich, unique, and perfectly seasoned. The short rib and crispy fried duck were tender, beautifully plated, and full of depth. Service was attentive, and the manager even stopped by to check on us.
Valet parking was smooth and convenient, and the atmosphere was much improved. Still moody but comfortably lit. Rouser has really stepped up its game. Excited to come back for the next menu change on December 3. If you haven’t been in a while, it’s definitely worth another visit

We experienced the final day of the current Josper Counter menu and it was exquisite. Bri was a xenial host/chef, we loved the train-themed exposé, and the exclusive way they cook everything with charcoal and watching it all exposed behind the counter. The menu was exceptional, we loved it all, the highlights were the rolls with the ash butter, the scallops, the wagyu, the duck with the ramen… but really the custard with the curd and crumble— I’ve exhausted innumerable desserts, but this was the best dessert I’ve ever had. Bri is over the new exclusive Josper Counter menu coming out the end of January, and we are excited over the exposition!!!

Our server recommended the house rolls with honey and ash butter. It was delicious! I would highly recommend it. For my main entree I had the duck and was disappointed. It had a small amount of meat on it and tasted over fried. The bread that came with the duck dish was hard and not great. I didn’t end up eating it. My partner had the chicken dish and it was very flavorful and juicy. The service was amazing. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We visited for our anniversary and we were given the chocolate cake which was a really sweet gesture. It made our night.

Enjoyed a lovely NYE meal with our dearest family in town for the holidays, we chose against the 5 course meal so we could try more of the menu and it was the best decision of the night! We start we sampled: beats, rolls, tomatoes, and beef tar tar, followed by entree course with salmon, half chicken with fried rice and eggs, steak and fries, everything was incredible! After dinner we explored rm 119n and had lovely cocktails and zero proof cocktails to end the evening! This might just be our new family tradition to ring in the new year at the Union Pacific.

I think it’s hard to receive or give a high rating on food that is $50 or more per plate. Not only was the food quality impeccable, and incredibly tasty food with amazing service in an incredible environment. I got the New York steak and Fries and the banana churro dessert. Best steak I’ve had in awhile and the fries had a magical Parmesan drizzle amd seasoning.
The remodel of that building is amazing. I’m looking forward to trying out the hotel rooms later this year.

I had the pleasure of trying the Josper counter experience with some fellow foodie friends. We were seated omakase-style right in front of the Josper grill, and we had a really fun evening chatting with the chefs and trying the limited-time menu which incorporated the special coconut husk charcoal and Josper grill equipment. The chefs were super down to earth and their enthusiasm for their craft was infectious. And of course, the food was fantastic. Each carefully curated ingredient and its unique preparation gave us four really dynamic and special dishes. The dessert was so good that I forgot to take a picture haha. The cocktails were also top notch! Kudos to the bartenders. I can’t wait to come back in a few months once the menu changes again 😀

This hotel’s breakfast restaurant exceeded expectations. The omelets were perfectly cooked, fluffy, and filled with fresh ingredients. The oatmeal was also a standout — creamy, flavorful, and served with great toppings. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. Service was fast and friendly, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. A fantastic way to start the day!
