The food was pretty tasty and I left the restaurant satisfied with my meal. The bread we had was nice and warm, and the olive oil was smooth. I had the Rigatoni Genovese as my main dish, which was perfect for a cold winter day. However, it was just a tad spicier than I expected, which isn’t a complaint but just a heads up if you decide to get it. And I recommend you do get it.
I will also commend the valet staff. Even with the temperatures tonight (probably reaching below 0), they were still on top of their game.
I did notice, though, that the service inside seemed a bit slow. Looking around, I saw we weren’t the only table who looked like they were twiddling their thumbs as we all waited for our food. Which brings me to a point about the amount of guests in the restaurant.
It felt like tables were crammed into as much space as possible, which led to not only a deafening amount of noise and needing to shout to the rest of my party in order for them to hear, but also that there just wasn’t enough room. The back of my chair had to have been bumped by staff and guests alike nearly thirty times. If you were to ask me to take a guess, I’d say that the restaurant is really stretching their allowed occupancy limit.
While the staff was great and the restaurant itself was a good vibe, I’ll have to knock service down a star for the long wait and atmosphere down as well for the noise/overcrowding.
But other than that, if you want good food, you won’t be disappointed.

We have been wanting to try Rosebud for a while and I was looking forward to a date night. She made some reservations for Saturday night and we were all set. Pulled up and they have complementary valet parking. We walked in and it was exactly what I was hoping for, very classy and swanky. It felt like a great spot for a perfect date night. We got there early, which I suggest you do so you can go grab a drink at the huge bar and take it all in. Everyone was having a good time. Families, couples, singles, they were busy and everyone was enjoying themselves and talking with others. The staff is super friendly top to bottom, very welcoming. We ordered drinks and waited for our table. Bartenders are cranking out drinks and talking with patrons. We got our table and our waiter was busy but very attentive. We decided to split a salad and the Taylor Platter, oh the Taylor Platter! Waiter says it takes about a half hour and I hope you’re hungry. We aren’t big eaters but we wanted to have a taste of all the goodies. The platter shows up and it’s big enough for a family of 4-6. It was absolutely delicious!! We barely put a dent in it. She always likes a little dessert (which isn’t little here). Somehow we managed to get some spumoni down, it was so good! We felt special and the portions are huge and not too expensive. What a great night out. Definitely on our list of great dinner date spots. Thanks Rosebud for great experience!

We had a five o’clock reservation and were seated thirty minutes late because they straight up told us they forgot about us. I tried to let that go, but things just kept going downhill. While I was making the olive oil and cheese dip for the bread, I reached for the cheese and someone grabbed it out of my hand to refill it even though there was plenty left. I waited another five minutes for it to come back.
The biggest issue was the food. They forgot our meals completely. Our plates were taken to be boxed up and then left sitting in the kitchen for another half hour. When they were finally found, my plate was not even mine. My parents received the right dishes, but mine was clearly swapped. I had barely touched my turkey dinner besides the sweet potatoes. My dine in plate had five or six pieces of turkey, but my take home container had two pieces and some tiny cut up scraps, along with about half the mashed potatoes that were originally on my plate. It was honestly gross and I am now forced to throw it out.
At this point I paid fifty two dollars for stuffed mushrooms, a bite of turkey, three slices of sweet potato, a small salad, and a slice of pumpkin pie. Overall, incredibly disappointing and absolutely not worth the money.
There were some good points like the wine and the stuffed mushrooms but all that was overshadowed unfortunately.

Nice but very crowded and loud. Food was very good and pricey. Chicken Parmesan was huge and tasty.

Beautiful restaurant! It was quiet on a Thursday evening so noise level was quiet. Service was great- attentive but not too much. I had the Primavera which was just ok. My friend had a dish with red sauce and enjoyed it. Had a good time.
11/10. Food and service excellent. Meatballs and sausages are on POINT. We tried 3 pastas and they were each outstanding. Water glass was always full. Friendly staff. And the pistachio ice cream was delicious.

Always terrific food. Our server, not so much. Too involved with the party he was handling. I wasn't even done with my wine and he took it way, and never looked back or asked. When you are spending $15+ for a drink, please don't take my glass. Just no clue. Never checked on us once our food was served. Our busboy (a young lady) was much more attentive.
We had a large group for my Mother's 87th Birthday, everything was amazing. The service was perfect as was the food. Rosebud has been one of our favorites !
I revisited this restaurant after being there once several years ago. Back then, I was not impressed. Well, with this latest visit, they have really stepped up their game. Beautiful dining room. Acceptable noise level. Reasonable prices for the size of their portions. Huge! Really tasty entrees. But the highlight of the evening was our server, Jack. Attentive. Funny. Great recommendations. I will be going back.....and asking for Jack, again.

I have never had veal braciole that was so hard to cut, flavor was good, but it was too hard to eat. 
I absolutely love this restaurant. The service is impeccable and all of the staff is so darn friendly.
Food is quite delicious, atmosphere is comfortable, and staff very courteous and helpful. We will be back!
The ziti sauce was just bland. Son “25” years old said the linguine shrimp was pretty spicy. Didn't eat it all and not sure he'll eat the leftovers due to being spicy.
Waited 10 out and 19 minutes for food. Lost my appetite. Can't believe it.
