The Evening Begins Our evening started with a warm welcome and drink orders, including another lemon drop cocktail. Unfortunately, the process was a bit disjointed as our server had to return to the bar multiple times to answer questions about their vodka selection.

What We Actually Did

Unfortunately, the process was a bit disjointed as our server had to return to the bar multiple times to answer questions about their vodka selection.

What Stood Out

  • The Rose Resort.
  • Million Dollar Giveaway.
  • 1609 Prime Cuts + Cocktails.
  • Lemon drop cocktail.
  • Shrimp cocktail.
  • 40oz tomahawk steak.

The Plan

  • We returned to The Rose Resort in Dumfries, VA, for their exciting Million Dollar Giveaway on November 30th.
  • Along with the event, we were fortunate enough to snag reservations at 1609 Prime Cuts + Cocktails, the resort's steakhouse.
  • While the steak was well-charred, it was cooked beyond our requested medium-well temperature, arriving well-done.
  • With premium prices and an underwhelming execution, guests may leave feeling they've overpaid for a mediocre steakhouse experience.
  • Check current hours, menus, prices, and reservation details before you go.

Would We Go Back?

Yes, if it fits the day you are trying to build. We would use this as a real-world reference, then confirm the current menu, hours, pricing, and reservation details before committing.
