My server was great and everyone was very nice. However, I do have a few concerns. When I was seated, the bread was already on the table. To be fair, I’m not sure how long it had been sitting there, but I would recommend bringing the bread out after guests are seated to ensure it feels fresh.
I also ordered the breaded parmesan, which was okay, but it would have been much better if it had been served hot. By the time the food was brought out and placed on the table, it was cold. It definitely would have been more enjoyable if it had been served warm.
Additionally, I’ve noticed that some restaurants seem to rush food out very quickly. I remember when dining out meant waiting 20 to 30 minutes for freshly prepared meals. Restaurants should focus on quality and freshness rather than speed. A restaurant experience shouldn’t feel like fast food it should prioritize fresh, well-prepared dishes and great quality overall.

Our server was excellent. Our meals were incredible. The ambiance was so elegant and everything was beautiful inside . It had been over 20 years since we last dined at Rosebud. Definitely exceeded our expectations. The server even brought us Cannoli’s on the house. It was a nice date night and will definitely return. Valet parking was also speedy! Top notch

We order carry out… So happy the restaurant participates with InKind lots of gluten free options- up charge is the norm most restaurants… the portions for chicken Parmesan are huge enough for 2-3 meals.. I’m a lifelong resident I know short cuts etc to bypass limited parking at River Square.

Decent Italian, but not the best flavor wise. Good portions. The chicken parm was probably the best but Lord that's one hell of a portion.

I sat at the bar with Joe, he was absolutely wonderful, so charismatic, and took amazing care of me. Was so quick to get me a drink and made it absolutely amazing. He was able to accommodate me with making my espresso martini with Baileys. Highly recommend sitting with Joe. Whether it’s in the bar or in the dining room!
