What People Are Saying About The Red Rose Inn and Suites
 

  • My husband and I spent New Years Eve this year and attended the party in the ballroom. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!! The music was wonderful and the food was great. We definitely intend to do this next year. A Big Thank You from the Warners.
     
  • I am emailing you to see if you still have pictures from last New Year’s? I just realized that our picture is in there #18 and if you still have it what can we do to get a copy? We are also coming again this year and really looking forward to the evening, we enjoyed last year so much. We do come to the lounge at least once a month and just love it.

The chef is to be commended for his preparation of an excellent menu and I thank you for assisting us with the selection.
     
  • I went with my husband to your restaurant a couple of weeks ago and tasted a delicious Osso Buco, but it was one of the specials that night, not on the regular menu. Do you have certain nights that you serve this? I would like to go again on a night I can eat this exquisite meal.
     
  • We would like to know when you are going to have Sammy Kershaw back. We have been married 25 years this year and thought for sure we would see him there... We love your place and food we love seeing Sammy there. We need Sammy.
     
  • Hi, We enjoyed your Seafood and Prime Rib Buffet last evening. Each item was very enjoyable. On the desert bar was a white cake with apricot filling. We asked one of the waiters what kind of cake it was, as it was positively wonderful. They replied it was a combination of angel food and pound cake with apricot filling. Is it possible to get that recipe from you? If so, I would appreciate having the recipe to see if I can duplicate the light texture of this cake. We are looking forward to returning and enjoying your buffet again.
     
  • We had a great time. We will come back again. It was a fun evening. Thanks.
     
  • I have had some very nice visits to the Red Rose Inn and Suites. The music, shows and dancing are wonderful.

  • Dear Red Rose Inn,
       We had the best time Saturday 5/17. We drove from Dunedin and I have to say it was well worth it. The music, show, dinner and the service were all excellent. Next time we plan to stay the weekend. If you could please send me copies of pictures from that night it would be greatly appreciated. We had the table to the right of the man that handled the lighting. Bill & Elaine and Andy & Mindy. Thank you so-ooo much and hope to see you soon.

  • We had an absolutely wonderful anniversary dinner at The Red Rose Dining Room and enjoyed the very talented Rat Pak Too and Destiny and of course the dancing. This was the 2nd time we had our anniversary dinner at the Red Rose; I think we may be starting a tradition.
    Thanks for the wonderful experience at your elegant and entertaining establishment. I really love what Evelyn and her daughter Rosemary have done with the Red Rose. They brought some elegant southern class to Plant City.
    Thanks to Dave too for taking a good picture. Sincerely, Janet & Bob

  • Greetings!
    Last Friday evening 10 of the Quinn family met for dinner at The Red Rose Dining Room. Two came from Illinois; two from Philly; two from Alabama; and four from Lakeland (formally from California and Connecticut). Beside being a great get-together with family, the evening was the most outstanding dining experience we have enjoyed. Some of us have dined at places like Scandia's in Beverly Hills, as well as La Scoffia at The Beverly Hills Hotel; Sorentino's in Burbank; and other "big hitter's" around the country. This is not a boast for us, it is a tribute to you.
    It started with John, our server, who answered all of our questions as if he prepared each meal himself. His service during the evening was beyond excellent (only because "excellent" does not seem to be high enough of a rating). Every meal I'm told (I only tried three) was exquisite, both in taste and appearance, and again, John was there with to-go containers. Should we talk about the entertainment? Wow! We have a couple of "over the hill" entertainers in our group, and they were at a loss for words to describe the amount of talent that came from the three artists known as "Destiny." Bravo! and Brava!
    Many thanks, and congratulations on your achievement of such a fine dinning experience. The Rose is definitely a Class Act!

    We plan to see you soon,
    Dick & Diane Quinn

  • Hello to the Beautiful Red Rose Inn !!
    What a Wonderful Place, Inn, restaurant & food !!
    My husband & I just recently came out to enjoy the outstanding buffet & music !!
    Needless to say, we enjoyed it Very much !!

  • To Evelyn and Batista Madonia Sr.

       I am sitting here at my computer in my office (and in awe) after just returning
    from one of the most fabulous “evenings-out” that my wife and I have ever
    experienced in our married life.
       First, your staff … from the greeters/hostesses, to everyone who had anything to
    do with personally attending to our needs…was outstanding. As for Lee-Lee, she
    could not have been more professional, sweeter, personable or accommodating.
    From the many lunch-breaks I had there two years ago, I remember when she
    first came ‘on-board’. She certainly seems to have blossomed into a confident and
    competent young waitress. I’m sure the caliber of her performance is both a direct
    compliment to your internal training expectations, as well as to her perseverance.
       Our meals… were absolutely exquisite. But, then, after having been there about a
    dozen times in the past couple of years, we’ve come to expect nothing less. Your chef
    never fails to transform our bragging (to friends) into pure, mouth-watering fact !
       The entertainment…Dennis’ Destiny, of course, chose the perfect dinner-time
    selections. And even without the third Musketeer, Ralphie-Baby, the Rat Pack
    still manages to captivate (and involve) the audience with their nostalgic songs and,
    the always entertaining, humor, antics, impersonations and anecdotes.
       For as long as successful reputations can be built and sustained by ‘word-of-mouth’,
    rest assured I will gratefully continue to play my small role to that endeavor. I am
    sure you’ve heard it many times before, that a simple “Thanks” often falls terribly
    short of paralleling a particular gift, gesture, deed or favor. That notwithstanding,
    I hope you and your husband will accept our sincere and heartfelt “Thank You” for
    a wonderful time at the Red Rose, and allowing us to feel very, very special.
    Very truly yours,
    Art and Sheryl Casey
     
  • Last evening (9/2/06) we celebrated my father-in-laws 85th birthday in the Rose Room. My husband Rocky, Dad John & I had an incredible meal, as always. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Rat Pack 2. Unfortunately we did not get any pictures taken of the 3 of us, however my husband reminded me of a picture that was taken of us June 17th for our anniversary.
    Please email our photo - Rocky & Debbie Luger celebrating their 17th anniversary.
    Thank you very much,
    Debbie
     
  • I want to compliment you on such a great evening - the show was the greatest I've seen at the Red Rose - hope you can get them back again - and I also want to say what a great dinner we all had (we had 12 people) everyone's dinner was excellent - I had the grouper special - it was the best grouper I ever had - and the Filet's some of my people had (which I tasted) was also the best - better then Bern's - better then Ruth Chris - the best ever.
    Thank you so much - and can't wait for our next trip to your Red Rose Room.

  • Happy Thanksgiving!!
    My wife and I had Brunch at the Rose Room today and it was a pure delight. The food was fantastic as well as the service. This was our 2nd visit (Thanksgiving 2005 our 1st) and again it was a delight. Our server was Jason. Please thank him for us. We will be back!!

  • My wife and I attended your New Years celebration and it was a wonderful evening. We were seated in the Red Rose dining room and the service was outstanding. I don't recall the names of our servers but they were excellent. We were seated at a table on the second level to the right of the television screen and bar.
    Also, our congratulations to your chefs. The dinner was spectacular - the crab bisque was the best we have ever tasted.
    All in all a great evening. Your entire staff is to be commended. Special thanks to Marc who was very helpful and accommodating.
    Bill and Julie Phillips

  • Well what can I say? I am so excited to be a part of the Red Rose family. It has been nine months since I began coming to the beautiful Red Rose Inn and Suites in Plant City. I have met such wonderful beautiful people and have made so many great friends. And, wow, do I have so much fun with all the folk's out on the dance floor. I dance tell I drop. The food is so good and the entertainment is top's. You don't know what your missing. I look forward to seeing all my friend's at the Polo Club Lounge and my friends in the Red Rose Dining Room. Sharon and John and my newest dancing friend's and Evelyn is at the top of the list. I truly have grown to love all of you. I wait till Sharon gets out on the dance floor because she's my partner in crime. Your friend, Margie
     

  • I want to THANK YOU for always treating us like KINGS when we come to perform at your great place.  The service to all our fans is the best ever.  It is nice to recommend a place likes yours.  I am not embarrassed after the show because of the food or the way they are treated.  Once again. my THANKS and praise to you for your professional hard work and to all the sound, lights and tech's that make everything just right.  You should be proud of all your bartenders, waiters and waitresses, Maitre' D and Mark.  You put a great core of people together.  Let's not forget the great CHEFS who cook to perfection.  Thanks again. Hope to see you soon.
    TOMMY MARA
    P. S. Thank you for KEEPING THE SOUND ALIVE in our Music
     

  • On behalf of George Galfo's Mystics and myself, I want to express our sincere Thanks to Evelyn & Batista, Sr., for their support for the Doo-wop Music. You are the backbone of helping groups like us and other entertainers by enabling us to Keep This Music Alive by having events like the Doo Wop Weekend not to mention having National acts thru-out the year grace the Red Rose stage.
    We always feel at home when invited back to perform for your guest who have become our dear friends and we are happy to be embraced by all.
    The staff at the Red Rose Inn and Suites are professional and work extremely hard to make sure all your guests are happy. Your Chef's, Riccardo and Matteo have always extended themselves to make sure everything is just right and the food is more than words can describe. I do not know what I would do without Mark as he is always there for me. David also has become a dear friend as he makes sure everything is just right for us. You have a Fantastic staff (bartenders, managers, waitresses, waiters and the list goes on and on!!) I can't forget our dear friend Dennis who makes sure the sound is to perfection as does Darryl.
    You have a lot to be Extremely Proud of when it comes to the Red Rose Inn and Suites! It is a Class Act all the Way!!!!
    Joni Sperling, Mystics Road Manager
     

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DINING ROOM. DENNY
     

  • The Red Rose Dining Room is the favorite place for my girlfriend, Aileen, and me to spend a fabulous night out. We met in this very same room back in 1994.
    The Madonias have done a marvelous job of remodeling the supper club and providing fine dining and top-notch live entertainment.
    Having been a disc jockey and an entertainment reporter, it's especially pleasurable to see national recording stars, including nostalgic Doo Wop groups, perform in such an elegant atmosphere! Dan Hogan - Lakeland, FL
     

  • Thank you...how delightful...and what a wonderful evening...the food was delicious, probably the best I have experienced in a very long time.....Music was professionally presented....and so much fun. the owners came over to our table and made us feel so very welcome....I certainly will refer my friends and hope to dine again soon...Barbara Sweeney
     

  • Last night, June 22, 2007, we had another great experience at the Red Rose Dining Room. From the moment we walked up to the Dining Room, until we left after the show ended, we were impressed. The service and food were incredible. Of course, the Legends of Doo Wop, completed our memorable evening. We are so happy to see Tommy back "in his groove". Once again, it was well worth the long trip from Clearwater Beach to fulfill our DOO WOP thirst. Hopefully, the Legends will be scheduled again at your place so we can make another trip. Incidentally, the large crowd seemed to be enjoying the evening as much as we did.
    Congratulations, Bob and Carol Kanjian - Clearwater
     

  • Wanted to write and let the staff and owners of the Red Rose Inn how much we have enjoyed every event and stay at the Red Rose! From the New Years Eve Event to Santa's Brunch to an intimate dinner for 2 for our anniversary....everything has always been perfect! Plant City is very blessed to have such a wonderful event place. The staff is very attentive to every detail and the owners, Batista and Evelyn are such wonderful hosts! I have been to many business and personal events from Chicago to Germany and the Red Rose is at the top of my list and close to home too!
    Blessings to everyone!...Rick, Susan Lynn, Sarah, Jonathan and Joshua Lewis
     

  • Dear Red Rose,

    I must say, My date and I had a wonderful time last night. Your staff is kind, attentive, warm and friendly, the food is to die for and of course The Drifters were the icing on the cake and one of my all time favorite groups. As an entertainer myself, needless to say, I was very impressed and would not hesitate to come back again and recommend your fine establishment to my friends.. I want to thank you for our most enjoyable and memorable evening.
    Thank you so much,
    Gene Santa Maria
