STEPH DEROSA: STEPH LOVES H3 AND FRIENDS >>>

I’m a creature of habit.  Lunch at the Rosewood Cafe has become a Friday favorite of mine and the babe.  Today my partner in crime â€" the KAke and her munchkin.

Patience and familiarity make Barry a delight to be around.  He let our kids take over, brought us the fullest glasses of $5 wine I've ever seen, hooked the kids up with some amazing Orange Dreamsicle Italian Sodas, and sold me on a T3 replica from Columbia Crest called the H3 (for only $13 a bottle!).

Not only did he let us camp out for two lunchtime hours, but he dished up some fantastic tuna melts and Greek salads.  I love you Rosewood Cafe, and so does the rest of Tacoma.
