Whether it’s the buzz of a bustling Sunday brunch or the relaxed cadence of an evening shared with friends, the atmosphere welcomes you to slow down and savor the moment.
This is a place for discovery through shared plates and thoughtfully crafted drinks, where each dish invites you to experience the world’s flavors in unexpected, delightful pairings.

A fun, vibey spot we checked out for brunch! I adore cauliflower dishes, and this one was no exception. Properly spiced and given all the love that’s typically reserved only for potatoes. The khachapuri is a cheese lovers dream. We needed more than 2 people to be able to finish. Happy to have visited!

The food here is crazy good. Everything is served family style. Each dish was packed full of flavor. The Khachapuri is such a fun dish and tasted amazing. I think the fried Brussels sprouts were our favorite. The service was amazing matched with great food, couldn’t get any better.

Absolutely adore Compass Rose! Came here for Sunday brunch and was so well done! Definitely recommend the taste around the world - the whole menu was so well done and loved the salad and grilled halloumi.

The food was incredible. The Zilzil (berbere beef) was really amazing. The cheese filled bread is such a fun tableside experience and tastes great too.

Delicious food, family-style dining, and great service. Highly recommend this place. Get reservations ahead of time. Food is an eclectic mix of cuisines across the globe. Really good flavor. Plenty of veggie and meat options. Tahini chocolate tart dessert was a disappointment since it mostly tasted of whipped cream. But other than that, everything that we ordered was great They forgot our chicken Kebab order, initially. But got that put in fast, once we reminded them and didn't charge us for it to make up for the delay

Compass Rose is such a great brunch spot if you’re looking for variety. The vegetarian around the world tour for brunch is a really great deal - five different dishes for $45. And they are all really amazing. The khachapuri is huge and the sabich is incredible.
