Rosebud on Rush Reviews
The table I dined at was near the door to the outdoor section and the waiter stand so there was a lot of traffic too close. Food was good, about average. The portions were generous.
We sat upstairs and it was extremely loud and noisy. We were also sat near a party/birthday celebration and the wait staff was constantly rushing past us with food/drinks and squeezing themselves between the wall and my chair to serve those guests. It was quite annoying and disruptive to our dinner experience.
The service was great. I am gluten free and did not enjoy the gluten free pasta. It was a little hard. I would suggest better gluten free pasta due to the fact I make pasta at home and you cannot tell it is gluten free. (Maybe switch to linguine since the pasta would not be so thick.) My mother is not gluten free and enjoyed her dish very much. The wine we had was very good.

Rosebud on Rush offers a wonderful dining experience with delicious homemade recipes like shrimp risotto, filet on Madeira sauce, homemade pasta, and chicken parmigiana. The portions are generous, perfect for taking leftovers home. The service is excellent, even when the restaurant is busy and loud on weekend nights. The staff is attentive and kind, providing incredible service that customers say is the best they’ve experienced in Chicago. The restaurant has a great wine selection available for pairing with the food, and guests have enjoyed dishes like the fresh bruschetta, perfectly cooked lasagna, and mile-high chocolate cake. Some diners have mentioned issues with the oils used for cooking and the quality of the veal dishes. Customers have also raved about the shrimp Alla rosebud (shrimp scampi) and the fried eggplant antipasto dish, highlighting the delicious food and overall great experience.
The restaurant can be very loud, with some guests noting it sounded like techno music was playing in the background. Many visitors return often, praising the consistently delicious food and friendly service, especially from the staff like Angie, who provides excellent suggestions. The large portions, such as the spaghetti and meatballs that can feed 2-3 people and the huge, tasty garlic knots, are favorites. Overall, Rosebud on Rush remains a top choice for those visiting Chicago, offering great food and attentive service despite the lively, noisy atmosphere.
