Took a friend here for their birthday and this place was cute, but I will never come back here. Honestly if a restaurant is going to charge for refills on soda, it's already a never return for me because I know that soda literally costs a few cents and they're charging the full refill amount, which I mean I guess get your bag this one time but I will never talk about your restaurant or suggest anyone come here. I spent $111 for two people. We shared three small things and each got our own burgers and I am finding myself hungry again just a short while after being at the restaurant. The server seemed pissed off the entire night until everyone was about gone and it just felt like another overrated and gentrified space. Food was good, but not worth the price.

Really happy to have discovered Roses on Adeline! It was the perfect place for our W-Day night out ( day after Valentine's Day ). The cocktails were lovingly crafted, the food was tasty ( we only got Vegetarian dishes ), our server was a joy, and the whole vibe was just perfect. I'll definitely be going back.

Takes guts to open a restaurant in Berkeley where expectations are so high. After dining at Rose's I can see why they had the confidence to do so! Ate at the bar because no reservation and the place was already popping at 5:30 on a Friday. We went all veg, and everything was outstanding. Tofu lettuce cups had big crunchy cubes of tofu and lots of hot peppers. Pasta did not sound good to me on the menu, yet was melt -in-your-mouth delish. My favorite thing was the charred cabbage with crispy mushrooms and just fantastic sauces. Even the crudite with hummus, totally worth it. We all liked our cocktails, draft beer, and glasses of wine. Can't wait to go back with meat eaters and dig further into their menu.

Roses is such a perfect date night place! But it would be great with friends too. It’s cozy and lively with a range of seating options — busy bar, main room and a lounge-y back room. Super friendly servers. Tasty food but I’d say it’s the combination of all the elements that makes it worth checking out.

Cool spot. Awesome cocktails. Food was very good. Had the ROA house salad , smash burger and the steak. Perfect for date night. Definitely make reservations to ensure optimal seating. Some of the standing high tops can be claustrophobic. Cheers!

Fabulous cocktails, food and fun DJ playing great tunes. Great neighborhood spot. Will be back!

We went during happy hour on a Wednesday night. The cocktails that they offer on the HH menu were way too sweet even after I specifically asked that they put very little sirop. We both had to send the cocktails back. We both asked for a dirty martini as replacements. The bartender gave us regular martinis with no olive juice. We decided not to say anything. We ordered the sausage on a bun and vegetables plate. They were decent in taste. The accompaniments were good. French fries were also tasty.

The food was great! We had the house salad, and even though the kitchen forgot a key ingredient (oops!) the salad was exceptional, and we atE the whole thing before we remembered to mention it. We also had the pasta, and the budino. The atmosphere was delightful, our waitress was attentive, and the bartender was as reward winning as advertised.
The forks were also comically large, which I personally enjoyed. We'll be back!

Good cocktails and nice atmosphere. We had the burger, fries, and fried chicken sandwich. The burger and fries were tasty. Only giving 4 stars because the fried chicken sandwich was quite bad. We never send food back, and actually had to send this sandwich back because we could not eat it. Even after they removed the slaw, which tasted like soap, the sandwich was still not very good. That being said, everything else was good and will definitely come back
Limited menu executed very well. Service was great although a little slow. Only real downside is that on a Friday night it is very loud in there. Hard to hear each other which was a bummer.

Highest quality food I’ve ever been served in the bay after 10:30pm.
