A Matter of Taste
Rosa's Steakhouse and Money Cat Vietnamese American give a Brooklyn gathering two distinct food identities along Wilson Avenue. At Rosa's Steakhouse, Peruvian-style lomo, yuca empanadas and tres leches frame a Latin American meal, with an event hall available for private celebrations. Money Cat Vietnamese American brings Vietnamese-American comfort food into focus through curry pho, crunchy coconut shrimp and marinated tofu banh mi. The contrast is in flavor and setting, from a celebration space to relaxed indoor and outdoor seating.
