We had a fantastic dinner here. Terrific fresh pasta dishes. Great wine list. The service was superior. Our only complaint was that they kept refilling our water glasses over and over and over and over.... of course, you don't want to run out and be looking for the guy, but it became a joke because he seemed to be refilling... more

The BEST Italian Restaurant I have EVER eaten at! Food was amazingly fresh and delicious. The service was impeccable, very attentive but not annoying. Our server had a great sense of humor! Great seat right on the street! We actually got seated right away with no wait.. and it was Saturday night. I think it might have been a fluke... more

My wife and I finally had a chance to get away for a night to see a play and were looking for a relaxing restaurant with great food and service. The server did a great job of recommending some twists on familiar dishes and paired up a wine that met both of our tastes. The dessert portions were huge and... more

We have been eating at the Rosebud on Taylor for a long time and have never been disappointed. However, we hadn't been there in about two years and now I can't believe we waited so long to go back. This is honest to goodness real Italian food with lots of sauce and great, warm, crusty italian bread to soak it... more

In a word... HORRIBLE! October 18, 2008 We were referred to Rosebud Steakhouse by our concierge at the very exclusive Four Seasons Hotel. ( My goodness when was the last time they had a meal there?) This so called upscale, restaurant was so poor I refuse to give it a 1 star rating. The service is better at Denny's and... more

I was looking forward to the eggplant parmesian and was not disappointed!! The portion was large enough for at least 3 people and I couldn't finish it... since I was saving room for desert. Everyone else enjoyed their meal and we would highly recommend Rosebud! more

Decide if you want to over pay--or pay what is appropriate for excellent and well prepared Italian Food. This is not a quiet place for subtle ambiance, it is a fine restaurant, managed by Joe who insures that it gets done right! The food is NOT overcooked, NOR overpriced. It was a pleasant experience. You will however, be glad to... more
