We had an incredible experience celebrating my sister's bachelorette dinner here! From the moment…read morewe arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome and ensure everything ran smoothly. Having a private room made the evening feel so special, and the team was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process. They were attentive to our dietary needs and worked with us to make sure everyone had delicious options and felt included. We also had some trouble connecting to the room's speaker to play our music, and the staff was so patient and determined to help. They took the time to troubleshoot the issue with us until everything was working because they genuinely wanted us to have the best night celebrating my sister. That extra level of care and hospitality meant so much and made the evening even more memorable. The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone planning a private event or celebration. Thank you for helping make my sister's bachelorette dinner so special!

From its in-house Level 1 Cicerone and in-house sommelier to its commitment to showcasing Black-owned wine, beer, and spirits brands, every detail reflects a passion for education, culture, and excellence. The wines they serve from Black-owned brands are exceptional. A special shoutout to the owners, Charlotte and Jacari. They are two of the most welcoming and inviting people you'll ever meet. Their warmth and positive energy resonate throughout the entire lounge and create an atmosphere that makes everyone feel at home. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Park Manor to anyone looking for an outstanding experience.

I have been opting for the south side to celebrate/matronize LGBTQ+ businesses, and my party told…read moreme this place is not only black owned but affiliated with and hosts LGBTQ+ themes. We reserved a time on a Friday in the Tasting room, in June, Pride month. We arrived just about on time, to a few parties not a mob. The front room had a lively group, but we were shown to the back. We passed a couple of 'private' rooms surrounded by curtains with a party present there. Sounds like a fun place to hang out when you have a small group and want privacy. We were taken to the back, which was empty, and seated. The seating is tricky back there, with a cushioned bench against the wall, and vinyl chairs to sit in. It is comfortable but reaching the odd, low to the ground tables was awkward for my party. the wait was longish as maybe there was only 1 waitress available, but we were given water and a menu. There is a separate bar back there but we had to order wine through the waitress. There was some..interesting music playing rather loudly. Lots of hip/hop and rap, which I am fine with most of the time. I KNOW it was a Friday night but this is supposed to be a wine bar, not a nightclub. Finally we ordered a flight each, me for house wines, my party for premium, and 2 dips. We wanted to avoid too much dairy. I was ok with my wine, but a flight usu is 4 of something, not just 3, see my pic. The waitress was patient, professional and informative. The dips were delicious, and then we ordered charcuterie. I'd love to try the 'fatbreads' but we were doing low-carb that night! We ordered a full glass of one of the wines we tasted. At the end, the bill was $151! for the 2 of us! Yikes! I have been to wine clubs such as Cooper's Hawk where I would have had to get a 90 Minute Tasting and dinner to spend that much! The bathroom was nicely decorated and clean, and there are 2, all-gender, one at a time deals. I did not ask them to turn the music down as I don't want the staff to think I am 80 years old! I would go back to try the Fatbread and a glass of wine; the old pics on the wall and decorations are nice, but the prices are kind of high, and the music/atmosphere is too clubby.

Louisa was our server and we ordered the pineapple wings and they were piping hot and well balanced. The pineapple was not over powering at all. We also had the jollof platter with salmon and the house salad with salmon. I feel like a few items were missing from the salad but it was still bright and filling. The platter was on point as well. We finished with a key lime cheesecake that was the perfect touch of sweetness and creaminess. Overall The food was great and the service was immaculate. I'd definitely check them out again and they give a 10% discount if you visit after touring the Obama Presidential Library, which we did of course.

We started with drinks--he had an Old Fashioned and I ordered the Versant Twist--and both were absolutely lovely. We skipped appetizers to save room for dinner and were so glad we did. He ordered the Dolmenico Ribeye and I went with the 12oz Filet Mignon. We shared grilled asparagus, loaded steakhouse mashed potatoes and sautéed mushrooms and onions. Everything was so incredibly delicious that I completely forgot to take photos--which says a lot. Ryan, our server, was fantastic--attentive, friendly and made the whole experience even better. Honestly, we haven't had a steak this good while dining out in over 20 years. We will definitely be back very soon.

This place is overrated.

We took my mother there to celebrate her 84th birthday and had a party of about 20 people. The side room we occupied was too dark for my liking. The employees were nice. As for the food, Rosebud Steakhouse is known for its steaks, and the 13-plus people in our group who ordered steak said they were good. However, one steak did have to be sent back because it was overcooked. I ordered the chicken sandwich, crab cake, macaroni, and broccoli on the side. The macaroni and chicken were oversalted, the broccoli was over-peppered, and the crab cake was undercooked. I packed my food up and took it home, where it ended up sitting in the garage. They do have a full bar, which was a nice bonus. Overall, if steak is your thing, this is the place for you.
