Cocktail or no cocktail, customers should not feel obligated to dress to the nines when visiting the Rosewild, though they are welcome to do so. Visitors can visit in a three-piece suit or casual attire -- it doesn’t matter.

“The atmosphere is fun,” he said. “It’s lively and we are unscripted. And what I mean by that is … for the most part, you’re coming into our home, we’re inviting you in, as if we’ve known you forever, whether it’s your first time or your 50th time.”

Besides the Rosewild, the Jasper Hotel also includes the Great Northern Boardroom and the Continental Ballroom.

The architecture and design elements of the hotel and restaurant give a nod to the Fargo area and its history, from the wallpaper adorned with white roses in the private dining area to the railroad ties incorporated into the ceiling in the lounge area that hint to the bygone days when trains were more readily used in the region.

It also gives him hope that maybe one day the out-of-towner will be back, not just for a visit but possibly to stay in the area and add to the region’s business climate.

He plans to tell his story about coming from Vegas to Fargo and why he plans to make this his permanent home. In short, it’s because of the people and the opportunities that the region has to offer.

“It’s overwhelming,” he said. “There is seldom a moment that goes by where somebody who’s leaving the restaurant doesn’t make a statement about how they’ve been touched; there’s always a heartfelt thank you from the locals about bringing this not only to Fargo but to showcase Fargo on this kind of scope.”
