Rosebud Steakhouse

Great little Italian steakhouse just a few steps from the Drake. Easily found a seat at the bar and (Kevin?) was friendly and quick with a perfect old fashioned. I'm a steak and baked guy which is what I had cooked perfectly. Nice dinner spot.

Just returned after quite some time. Everything was perfect. The best it has ever been for us.Excellent fun service. The steaks (filets) were cooked exactly as requested.I understand why some feel the coating is too salty, but we loved it. The beef had great flavor.Drinks were excellent. Asparagus was properly cooked, and I am stupid for baked potatoes.Our server was amazing and fun.

For some reason I didn't have high hopes for this restaurant, possibly because it is not a well known steakhouses. It likely has a great reputation among locals though, anyway, the wife and I needed a meal tonight, we are staying at the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel and the restaurant is just across the street. I ordered the Chicago Cut Ribeye medium rare, along with mashed Potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts. The steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned so well. My wife got a Caesar salad with salmon added to it, her meal was really good. I particularly enjoyed the roasted garlic bulb which my wife and I promptly ate. We come to Chicago at least once per year and we plan on coming back to the Rosebud Steakhouse.

Food and Service....outstanding!We were visiting Chicago for the weekend and were looking for a place to grab appetizers as we had a super late dinner planned. This place had early reservations and we ended up pretty much having the entire restaurant to ourselves. Our server was delightful. He spent lots of time chatting with us about the history of the restaurant and was just overall so friendly. We sat at a table that had a tribute to a long time regular, Mr. George Burrows. It was fun to learn the history of this patron.We had the Lobster GOT, the Fork & Knife Bacon and a side of Cauliflower Gratin and OMG....these dishes were riiiiiiiiiiich!. The Lobster pieces were nestled in butter, gooey cheese and herbs. The fork and knife bacon was huge! This slab of pork belly was tender and slathered in a smokey sweet sauce. The cauliflower was extra cheesy.This really was the perfect meal and dining experience. Food and service were top notch.

Five stars for the bartender and the baked potato - two stars for everything else. The ambience and decor is terrific! Lovely old time, dark steakhouse with traditional menu, extensive wine list and outrageous prices for what you get!!! I ordered a $68.00, 22 ounce "Chicago cut ribeye". A delightfully large piece of meat was served that was so salty it was inedible. I now know why it was so over seasoned because the steak itself had relatively no flavor and was borderline dry. I asked for another steak with less salt. A smaller second steak was served that turned out to be raw inside. That steak was then recooked and reserved and was completely inconsistent in its temperature throughout. Some parts well done and some parts near the bone still raw. The gentleman behind the bar was my hero. He tried his utmost best to get me a steak as I ordered. I thank him for that !!! At some point, the manager came over and asked if they could re-fire a steak. And then he walked away without saying anything when I said I had already eaten. It was very bizarre. Truly disappointing experience. I loved the look of the place when I walked in. I didn't love the food anywhere near as much.

Across the street my Hilton Hotel. This was a fantastic steakhouse. The ribeye steak sandwich actually had whole ribeye on it. I expected shaved ribeye. Steak frys were excellent and the house salad was huge and delicious.

Everything was delicious we had a salad to split to start & then I got the trio of filet medallions and my Dad got the spaghetti & Meatballs. Everything was so good & service was impeccable. We would go back again anytime. The bar is great there is TVs if you want to watch the game & it's delicious food. Our waiter was Michael he was awesome. Thanks Rosebud!

Rose bud was a present surprise. Staff and the food were a chefs kiss. Ambiance was cool. Not loud you can have a conversation without yelling across the table. Great place for a date or just dinner with friends

Everything about this place is amazing!!! Not one bad thing I could say! The food was soooooo amazing and the ambiance was perfect! Mike our waiter was so helpful and perfect!

Always a solid choice.Love the chopped steak. Pasta in vodka sauce is terrific.Delivery is timely and items ordered are packaged well.
