Returning to the Fordham after 5 years... Rosebud on Rush was one of the things we missed most... Happy to report that it's only gotten better over time... Great wine list!! Great menu!! Great staff and service!! Nice when great things "don't change" with time...

LOVE LOVE LOVE ROSEBUD ON RUSH! It's so fun to take people here, and the hospitality of Guillermo and the team there is always spot on. We had Angela as our server and she is outstanding. We wanted for nothing, and her support staff were all over it. Especially nice of them to wrap our leftovers since the portions are so big! The dining room was buzzing, and the vibe is exactly what you want from a Chicago red sauce joint! CHICKEN VESUVIO was the best thing I've eaten...

Nonetheless, I’d...
