Rosine’s was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the chicken picata, hubby had minestrone soup and lasagne. And we had to try some dessert, chocolate chip cheesecake, even though we took most of it home! Service was outstanding. (I was a little disappointed that there was no recognition of our anniversary, even though I noted on my reservation that we were celebrating that event). We will definitely go back to Rosine’s.

Excellent service. Our waiter was attentive. The steak was wonderfully prepared. The desserts are big enough for two to share.

We had our two toddlers, they ate the Mac and cheese and some fries. Fries were good. Mac and cheese was basic. The adults in my group had the angel hair pasta and a medium New York steak that was very basic as well. The rosine New York with mushrooms included mashed potatoes. The potatoes had cheese that was not melted in. Not sure if that was on purpose. The mushrooms we added were very salty. The steak had a low quality taste. Fettuccini Alfredo was good along with the Caesar salad. Service overall was good. Staff was attentive and accommodating. The ambiance was okay. Noticed significant amount of flies and bugs, probably just due to open doors and windows. It’s a one and done for us. Wouldn’t come back.
