We went here for Valentine's Day because we had a gift card and we really enjoyed it! We had a 6:30 reservation and they were running behind so we were not seated until 6:45, that was really the only negative of the night.We started with some wine, we ordered a red but the waiter gave us a recommendation that a similar bottle was a much better value, $55 at the restaurant but it's $32.99 at ninny's and $80 at his last restaurant, which means great value since they usually charge at least 2-4x store prices. We actually saw the bottle later at binnys and he was spot on! And the wine was good! Great service. We also got the spicy calamari over the regular calamari per his recommendation and really enjoyed it. Never had a fried calamari in a spicy soupy sauce with hot peppers so it was different but really good.Girlfriend got the 8 finger cavatelli which she really enjoyed and I got the Grandmas gravy dish which was very good with super tender meat. Overall a great meal with really good service.One note is the prices may seem high. But the portions are massive. We had full meal sized leftovers of all 3 dishes. So when you think of it as dinner and lunch it's a good deal.
We went to rosebud Lemont for dinner with another couple on Saturday evening. The food was outstanding I give it a 10. The service was equal Marco the manager was Pleasantly welcoming. I enjoyed the Seabass over spinach which was done to perfection. 2 other people at the table had the white fish over spinach which was perfectly prepared , 4 th person had Zuppa Again perfect. Prior we all shared a pasta dish along with muscles for appetizers some bottles of wine and desserts everything was a 10. I highly recommend you visit Rosebud Lemont a fine restaurant .
Bolognese, chick parm and the veal mushroom dinner is all soo phenomenal! I love the dark ambiance, the music is not too loud, the waitstaff are so friendly and professional. Love this place.
I have to say - I really do love Carmine's and everything about it. This neighborhood spot is big and bustling and is ran old school style.A huge street front presence, Carmine's looks fantastic as you approach and offers the best people watching in town. Rush Street is always jumping, no matter the day of the week.Service is always impeccable from the host desk to service to management. The reservation process is easy. When I arrive the hosts always greet me immediately and seat me quickly. My servers have always been on top of their game offering attentive service even during the most busy evenings. Then there is the Managers. They know how to run a big ship and still make each customer feel appreciated.The cuisine is interesting and memorable. Homemade pasta that melts in your mouth, sauces to dream about and decadent desserts that leave you with a smile. Satisfaction is always the end result.
Calamari, Baked ziti, lamb chops our lunch was great! Love this place when feeling Italian in the city!
I thought the food was just decent (no one had steak so that may be where we went wrong) but wanted to say the service was the best in memory. Our server Tim was absolutely amazing! He was funny, professional, knowledgeable about the menu, and treated the three teens with me like ladies. The entire staff was kind and attentive. I loved that they held our leftovers in a fridge until after the Theater.
Awesome experience! Nicely decorated for the holidays. Good food and our server Doug was very knowledgeable and friendly
Went for NYE dinner with friends and we were so pleased with everything!! The appetizers were great! We all enjoyed our entrees, the portions were huge! So made for great leftovers. The wine and mixed drinks were perfect. And we were pleasantly surprised with the pricing! We will for sure be back again!
Definitely one of our faves in Chicago! Went in with Sin and Grandson. Ordered Spaghetti, Arrabbiata, and Cavatelli! Oh...and Meatballs! Not one of us could finish! The pasta is fresh and it's for sure homemade! The sauce is plentiful and delicious! Oh my gosh we're all rolling here. Like bowling balls! Sooo good! I'll be back. Next time I'll do something other than pasta!
Needing a little mid afternoon pick me up my friend and our 3 daughters ended up at Rosebud. We walked right in and were seated immediately. We had many deserts to chose from. Upon our servers advice we settled on the Godiva mousse cake and the tiramisu. Against her advice we also ordered the spumoni bomb. She underestimated our desert eating abilities. We proved her wrong and completely polished off all 3 deserts with no problem. Go for a rest and stay for desert. Our service could have been more prompt and utensils/napkins are always a plus without having to ask.
Went on a double date for NYE dinner and Rosebud did not disappoint! Everything was phenomenal from the food and ambience to their service. Our waiters name was Webster and he was fantastic! He made excellent food suggestions and treated us so kindly. Our table had a little of everything which included: Chicken Parmesan, Bone- In Rib Eye, Filet Minon, Baked Mac and Cheese, Brussel Sprouts w/ Bacon, Lobster, and Jalepeno Hashbrowns. Everything tasted amazing. 10/10 hands down. I will definitely be returning and this place has easily made it to my "top 10 restaurants" list.
Great steakhouse! Food was delicious and the service was excellent! With it being our first time our waiter gave wonderful recommendations! We both got filets and for our appetizer, we ordered the seafood platter (lobster, oysters, shrimp, crab leg) very very good!
We were looking for a brunch spot that didn't have a super long wait and we stumbled upon Rosebud. There was a brief wait, but they actually got us seated within 5 minutes. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla which was delicious, and my friend got the fruit plate which was served in a hallowed put pineapple! It was beautifully displayed! I can't speak to lunch or dinner here, but it seemed like a nice spot!
