My absolute fav place in Seattle

by jP

Rosebud Restaurant & Bar has been a favorite of mine for a number of years. I "discovered" it in 2002 when on a hunt for a good, value-oriented weekend brunch spot. Well, the French Toast at brunch captivated me and soon I was inviting friends and clients to join me for dinner. The portions are just right--Euro-styled. The menu fare, creative and tasty. And the wine selections are far ranging. If you haven't tried this little jewel -- do so. Because of the economy, Rosebud is posting some incredible specials during the week.

• Pros: Love the wait staff, decor and intimacy
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

i love rosebud

by iseattle

I have been coming to Rosebud for years mostly for drinks in the bar. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I've eaten their a couple of times and the brunch is always wonderful but the dinner menu has been a miss for awhile. I heard about the new kitchen staff and menu and decided to give it another try. It has taken a huge turn for the better!!!! They have really stepped it up with the new menu and with more vegetarian options! My only complaint is with the crappy glassware. I dine out alot and I dont understand why a nice restaurant with a menu of this level would serve wine out of diner libby glassware. bleh! Any respectable seattle restaurant serves out of riedel or spiegelau or anything but libby. Please consider stepping it up to meet with the great new menu!

• Pros: great food and service!
• Cons: poor wine glassware

Terrible

by MMOC

Food was disgusting, waiter was totally rude. It was a complete waste of money and I would NEVER go back. This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to in Seattle.

Consistantly good!!!

by sedan

I eat at Rosebud all the time, the last time I was there I was suprised that the food was not as good as it had been. So I thought I would go back and try it again, last night. Tehy have anew mwnu and a change in the kitchen staff. Well the difference was amaizing, the new menu was so different and so many good things to choose from, and the flavors incredible. If you tried Rosebud in the past, try it again the food is great. Of course the service cannot better.

A venerable Capitol Hill institution

by rapier7

I?ve been a big fan of Rosebud for almost as long as it?s been in existence because of the service and the great food. Plus, you can?t beat the generous happy hour. The ambiance is sublime and romantic with the music and decor. If you?ve never been, try not to be put off by the rabid negative remarks found below. No restaurant is perfect, but Rosebud would not have been around for as long as it has if it was really all that bad.

Comfort food in a romantic art-deco setting--perfect for a dinner or a drink at the bar before hitting the town.

In Short
The deep-red walls and Jazz-era decor make this Capitol Hill bistro a romantic date spot. Service is friendly and attentive. A pair of sleds on the wall pay homage to the "Citizen Kane" character that gives the restaurant its name. Dinner favorites include the herbed goat cheese spread and the soy- and horseradish-marinated beef tenderloin with lotus root chips. Brunch dishes, like eggs benedict, assorted omelettes and cranberry-orange pancakes, draw hungry, hungover crowds.

worst me

by sowrite

I went to Rosebud expecting a lovely meal. Instead I received polenta that ran across my plate in a river of muck. Chicken that was so dry and tasteless and bread that felt leftover from the previous day. This was quite literally the worst meal I had in 2006. I filled out a comment card, including my email. never heard a word. The service was great in the restaurant, but don't expect your voice to be heard when you are dished up the meal from hell.

Creative cuisine in a lovely atmosphere

by bevcoco

I adore this restaurant. It's charming ambience entices me from the moment I enter the pretty little place. And the cuisine never disappoints. I especially appreciate the modest portions and do not at all mind paying whatever for well prepared, beautifully presented, unique dishes. The waitstaff is attentive and friendly, making me feel like I am being entertained in a private home. The Rose Bud is a never fail dining room and I am always proud to take my friends there for any meal, day or night. Try it -- you'll love it as I do.

• Pros: Ambience, cuising, service
• Cons: None

Finally! An unpretensious fine-dining restaurant in Seattle!

by johnprimeau

A couple of friends of mine introduced me to Rosebud Restaurant & Bar several months ago. From my first visit, I was so impressed with the quiet, cozy, unpretensous atmosphere that I knew I'd be back! Not only do I return on a regular basis, but I've introduced scores of others to this "little jewel" and I have always received a gracious "thanks for the introduction" from my "Rosebud Virgins." The dining room is perfect for chatting with friends...lovers...or business associates. The food is stellar. I understand that Rosebud has a new chef whose last gig was with Wolfgang Puck. I loved the food before the new chef arrived; I love it even more now. It's a combo of art and gastronomical delight. Servings are "Euro size." The service is friendly, professional and unhurried. The chicken breast is amazing; and the chocolate brioche is magic. If you haven't tried this remarkable establishment, do so. I can see why it was voted "Most Romantic Restaurant in Seattle."

Be sure to ask your server about getting on Rosebud's newsletter list for complimenatary recipes, special events and wonderful offers. I was hesitant to sign up at first, but I'm glad I did. Rosebud doesn't share its e-mail list with others.

• Pros: Excellent dining experience and friendly, professional service; check out Roman, the Fri/Sat night bartender!
• Cons: Can't think of any
