How this place has only 3 stars is beyond me. The ambiance, food and service was a 10/10! My husband and I enjoyed a date night here last Thursday and enjoyed the caprese salad as an app and the Rigatoni alla vodka as an entree (highly recommend adding peas). The food was incredible, probably the best pasta dish I've had in the area and our server was attentive and kind. I also really enjoyed the dim lit ambiance it was perfect for the date night occasion. read more

Rosebud Deerfield - Caprese Salad - New American Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

We were very pleased with our dining experience at Rosebud in Deerfield Il. There were lots of families dining on a Sunday night. The restaurant has a sports bar feeling with a central bar, multiple TV's and busy open kitchen. The service was good and prompt. We ordered a Caesar salad that was large enough for a family of four. It was well prepared in as much as the dressing being present on each piece of lattice and very tasty. In an unusual move, we split the entree, chicken vesuvio. Even half of the chicken was huge and accompanied by roasted potatoes and peas. The coconut cake was outstanding and again meant to be shared. There were lots of doggy bags going home. All in all, the food, service and ambience was outstanding and worth a visit. read more

This is our favorite place. Here almost every weekend. The food and service is amazing! Great people and a Deerfield classic.

There was metal shavings from a wire dish scrubber in my food. Thankfully I didn't swallow them and noticed when chewing. Extremely dangerous. The food handling practices here are clearly lacking and not to standards. That type of cleaning utensil should never be in a restaurant. The manager apologized but didn't seem to take it that seriously like it's happened before. They remade it but I just left and threw it out as I didn't trust it. It was not taken off the bill. I'll never be back. read more

Rosebud of Deerfield - a really good restaurant for Italian. I used to live in the city and would past by Rosebud down in river north all the time. It was always packed with people and I was happy to see that Rosebud was in the burbs now as well. The space is wonderful - I like all the natural light and the string lights in the center of the restaurant as it was kind of a cloudy rainy day outside. Went here for a weekday lunch with some of my mates and I was really glad to have tried the Orecchiette pasta. I am always a fan of this pasta type because of the unique shape -its shaped like a ear (for full a full sensory experience). When the wait staff brought out the dishes all together - the server whispered "this is my favorite". Apparently I have chosen wisely. And boy did I! The Orecchiette (perfectly cooked al dente) super simple on the ingredients just a flavor bomb. Loved it Loved it. Absolutely awesome dish. My mates got a vodka pasta (said it was really good) and another got the Med salad w/ chicken. My impression is that the pasta is absolutely wonderful and done correctly. Top notch. read more

Let's be completely honest. It's a little unfair to review an Italian restaurant after having visited Italy in the fall. Nothing will compare. EVER. Huge portions and lots of energy on a Saturday night, exactly what you want. We were seated at the table closest to the door so we could probably hear better than those further inside the restaurant so if you are looking for a quiet, intimate place, this is not that place on a Saturday night. Our cocktails were good - a Manhattan and a Paper Plane. We ordered the steamed mussels - HUGE! This could easily have been my entree. The mussels were large and perfectly steamed. I ordered the ribbons with bolognese. It was another HUGE portion, but this is where a trip to Italy will ruin you. The pasta was inconsistent. There were several noodles stuck to each other with ends cooked al dente and then the centers not so much. The sauce was more salt than flavorful, not so salty that it was worth returning to the kitchen but definitely salty. My husband ordered a special - a seafood topped risotto. The risotto was OK but also another HUGE portion. If you're looking for generous portions, this is the place for you. read more

Came here for lunch and ended up ordering the salmon citrus salad. The portion for lunch was huge! It was pretty flavorful, i also especially enjoyed the walnuts or maybe it was pecans. It is a bit pricey, but it is meant to be a step above casual dining. It was very quiet at a weekday lunchtime so it was easy to have a conversation. The wait staff was attentive and you can easily be in and out off there in time for a lunch break. read more

Great meal. Seven of us had dinner at Rosebud. We had a reservation, so we got seated in a large round table quickly. Our server, Norma was very pleasant and helpful. We started with cocktails. The Old Fashioned and Cosmos were very good. We placed our dinner orders and kept busy visiting while the food was prepared. All seven meals came out at the same time. I had the Spaghetti and Meatballs. My wife (and 2 friends) had the Four Cheese Baked Ziti with Sausage. We both enjoyed our meal choices and have leftovers for lunch. It's been a longtime since we've were last at a Rosebud location. We will be back. read more

The Frutti di Mare is excellent. The The Shrimp Fa Diovola is excellent. The Lasagna....not so much. Strange layered concoction and sparse on Lasagna pasta. The servers were efficient. Very little interaction. The overall restaurant is clean. Decent, plain, uncomplicated decor. read more

I can't believe this location only has 3 stars. Amazing ambiance, huge delicious portions, and it tastes fantastic. Service is always top notch. I had one of the best plates of food I've had in a very long time the pork chops Calabrese. Highly recommend it. Need to Go back again this week. read more

We had a large takeout order. It was a gift from out of town friends who purchased a gift card through the Deerfield location. Louis, the manager, helped make the dinner possible by working with our friends and me so I could collect the gift card enabling me to place the dinner order. I pre-ordered the dinner and it was ready on time, packaged beautifully. Nothing spilled, nothing leaked, not even the olive oil or salad dressing - AMAZING! Despite being packaged the presentation was lovely, especially the chopped salad which was colorful and fresh looking. We ordered the full tray. We also ordered a full tray of spaghetti, meatballs on the side, 1/2 tray of eggplant Parmesan, 1/2 tray of Chicken Vesuvious, 1/2 tray of crispy potatoes, and 1/2 tray of steamed broccoli. Bread loaves, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and salad dressing came with the meal. Everything was delicious. The spaghetti and eggplant Parmesan were the best I've ever had. The fries and broccoli were fresh and tasty. I don't eat chicken but those who did said it was also delicious. We had anywhere from 8 to 14 people for dinner over the course of 3 days. This order covered all 3 days. The amount of food we ordered was the perfect amount. I would order from Rosebud again and again, no complaints, no hassles, just a great meal of comfort food. read more

Rosebud has a friendly, classy, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was warm, smiling and attentive from greeting to dining. The fried calamari was fresh and crispy. I enjoyed the Tortellini Carbonara and its rich, thick, creamy cheese sauce. A great combination of saltiness from the prosciutto and sweetness from the peas. The portions were large and satisfying but a tad on the pricier side which reflects the quality of the cuisine. The square noodles were ok. I prefer a fattier protein like Italian Sausage with square noodles than the beef and veal mix. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping it to be. I was dining with 3 others but one of the menus was not the same as the rest. One of the outdated menus was still in circulation but was removed after noticing the different item(s). read more

Had our Thanksgiving Dinner here. It had an intimate ambiance with soft warm lights and tables fairly close to each other. I ordered their eggplant Parmesan special and wow, this is the biggest serving I've ever had of it; can easily feed 2-3 people depending on how hungry you are. Even though I was only able to eat half of it, I very much enjoyed it. I wasn't too happy about the side pasta; it was overcooked and lukewarm when it was served to me. I had to ask for our server to reheat it, which he promptly did, but the pasta was still not that good so I had to sadly pass on it. I also got the vesuvio potatoes as a side and it was great! Loved the sauce! My mom had the ribeye steak with a side of spinach and she had no issue and it was cooked to perfection. Both the steak and spinach could've used a little more salt, though. For dessert, we decided on the banana pudding and it wasn't very good. The bananas weren't caramelized enough so it was all soggy and pairing it with the Oreo crust was a little confusing. The pudding itself didn't really wow; it was like mushed bananas with whipped cream on top. Overall, there were pros and cons for the food, but our server was very attentive and polite. I wouldn't mind coming back, but I'll be a little more careful about the pasta selection. read more

Very average food and super loud. Could only talk to person sitting immediately next to me. Did appreciate that the menu was clearly marked with gluten free options and they accommodated needs due to food allergy. Crab cake starter was delicious. Brick chicken was juicy, hamburger was so so, gnocchi was not at all good, and pasta Alfredo was fine. For the price and just average food, not rushing back. read more

After seeing a Yelper's photos recently of some deep dish pizza, I expressed a wish for some Detroit-style pizza with lots of tomato sauce and cheese. Someone in my household thought it would be interesting to sample several pizzas in a pizza war, pitting pizza against pizza, slice vs slice in a palate popping duel to the stomach (not my idea, I would have been happy with one decent slice). Challenger #1 arrived at the home via delivery and was lukewarm. Rosebud's pizza was of a flatbread variety, crust was brown and very crunchy. It assumed a dual identity of half pepperoni and half mix of meats (sausage and very crunchy prosciutto? salami? There was not very much sauce. This did not meet my criteria but that is the fault of the organizer of this impromptu contest. I would say that this pizza would have been better consumed in the restaurant. However, I would order pastas or other entrees when eating at Rosebud. read more

Why are restaurants so loud these days?? We asked to get seated at the far end of the restaurant so it wouldn't be so loud. People around us complained about how loud it was as well.....maybe someone should do something about it. I started by ordering a bourbon. Thing is, I have more really good bourbons at home but wanted a drink with my meal. So I ordered the Bookers but when it came to the table it wasn't Bookers. Instead of coming back to the table and saying we don't have any the drink was placed on the table. Only after asking what it was I was told it was Angel's Envy which is an ok bourbon but not what I wanted. Because I tasted it I just met it go. But thinking about it that's just not right. We had the chopped salad which was fine, Brussels sprouts which were good. My date had fish and I had the chicken Vesuvio which was good. The potatoes were under cooked but ok. Nice looking place but don't think I'll be coming back. What did you say? Can't hear you. read more

For me, Rosebud was an alright spot for dinner. The best parts of going to this restaurant were the prompt service, large dining area (though it's really hard to hear one another), elegant decor, varied menu, and plenty of parking. It really has all the characteristics that make it an ideal spot to gather in Deerfield for a special event. The food is where the experience falls a bit short. Even if price isn't factored in, the food is a bit bland and the preparation is fairly plain on many items. I tried a wide variety of items on my visit and found the quality to be a bit inconsistent. For example, the Jalapeno Hashbrowns were a bit soft and felt underseasoned and barely spicy at all while the bruschetta had nice fresh tomatoes with a lightly brunchy bread and the basil flavor came out pretty well with the right amount of cheese to add a little saltiness. The fried calamari was quite standard (though the quality of the calamari was pretty good) which relied completely on the sauce to give it any flavor while the grilled calamari was bursting with flavor and had a very nice tender texture to it as well. The caesar salad was also quite plain for me, once again feeling a bit underseasoned despite several salty elements. The short beef ragu was done fairly well, with a large portion of meat and tender fusilloni pasta. I liked how the sweet peas and shaved parmigiano added a bit of sweetness and richness to the dish without feeling too heavy. For dessert I tried the Godiva Chocolate Mousse Cake which was enormous and tasty. The chocolate really came out very clear in 3 distinct layers of mousse, cake, and ganache. The berries served on the side were fresh and the creme fraiche really helped to bind all the elements together. This dessert was so impressive maybe I'll have a meal of only desserts here one day as the other options sounded amazing as well. Overall, there are many things to like about this restaurant in terms of the service, decor, and setup -- the inconsistent nature of the food makes it somewhat difficult to unconditionally recommend as the difference between the worst and best dishes is still quite high. But there were more things to like about the experience than there were to dislike, and on the dishes that were prepared well, the flavor was quite impressive. read more

This place is a disaster. To go order on May 10th. I waited over an hour, as did many others. People with reservations had very long waits. Total chaos. I finally left without my order. I received a call after 2 hours that my order was ready even though I had told them to cancel my order and provide a refund. Refund was eventually applied, but at the time the manager was "too busy" to handle it. I've never seen a restaurant so completely lost. They should have turned off online ordering when they realized they couldn't handle the volume. Apparently too greedy or too incompetent. read more

I don't often write a review but I was so disappointed yet again with Deerfield Rosebud. 2nd time doing take out. The bolognese was skimpy and had a bacony flavor. The meatballs for my meatball salad were as hard as rocks. I've always steered away from the meatballs here anyway, they are just not good. Such a bummer when u crave something, take the drive, get home line up your show and dig into a crappy dinner. read more

I'm trying to understand why this place is rated so low... had a great lunch - Norma and Evan serviced our table with a friendly attitude and efficiency. The eggplant stack (chopped) was so good! Also the square noodles with red sauce and shrimp. Excellent. 5 stars sure. Hope the lower stars do not stop you from trying. It was really a great experience. read more

I've heard very mixed reviews of this location and had avoided it because of that. Went tonight with another couple and the only complaint I have is that it's ridiculously loud in there. Be ready to wait for your entrée as ours took about 30 minutes, but we were warned in advance by our server. I had the baked ziti, which was very good and will be leftovers for at least two more nights.!!!! read more

Rosebud is one of my short list go to's for Deerfield takeout. Eating there for years. The spaghetti & meatballs with marinara, ravioli, and bolognese are OK. I tried their expensive (42.00) short rib with polenta. The braised meat was very dried out. It did taste like chuck but did not contain a rib bone. The polenta was very cheesy but tasty if you like a lot of sodium. Pretty disappointing in all for $42.00. I will go back for their standard pasta fare, but probably will not re-order the short rib again anytime soon. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews! Stopped here the other day for dinner with my mom and we had a great evening. The food is great, ambiance is lovely on the patio and our server was great. I ordered the vodka gnocchi and my mom ordered the eggplant stack chopped. Both were incredible and huge portion sizes. We will be back! read more

Always good with consistent good service and extensive menu. Large portions good for take home

Tried Rosebud for the first time , full house , no reservation on our part , however, the gentleman at the front sat us right away Ordered our meal and wow , no kidding when they say portions are huge My wife had the chicken parmigiana and I had the chicken broccio, (I'm sure I spelled it wrong) and both meals were delicious Great atmosphere Will definitely be visiting again read more

The food was excellent!!! The steaks medium rare were done to perfection! The steak medium was perfect!! The minestrone absolutely to die for! The garlic knots very well executed. The grilled calamari was interesting and tasted delicious. Different and exciting combinations!! This is a restaurant that's worth visiting! Ambiance and service were excellent. We had a wonderful time. Are we coming to taste the rest of the menu.... Definitely yes!! read more

we have dined in and carried out for years- this last year the fish went from wonderful to not good at ALL! the last time we brought a to go order home it tasted horrible- we did not dine in or carry out for more than 6 months. tonite the bread with my meal was so hard and old it sealed the deal that this restaurant is not a place for us - read more

This was my second attempt to try Rosebuds as my 1st experience was less than stellar. The wait staff was attentive and friendly but the food, starting with the appetizer was poor. The appetizer ( calamari) was cold ( luke warm) and tough as shoe leather. I ordered a strip steak medium rare and my wife ordered a filet which she ordered medium. After 30 minutes our food arrived and my medium rare steak was literally raw and my wife's filet was well done. For a " top notch" steak house you're better off going anywhere else especially when a meal for 2 (1 drink each) was $250.00 without the tip. Our waiter was very sorry and offered to remake the meal but waiting another 1/2 hour or more was not in the cards. I ate what I could ( the cooked section) and took the remainder home and I left hungry. Bologna! For such an expensive meal, Rosebuds needs to hire " real" cooks!! 2 times, $500.00 spent, we will never return or recommend to our friends, in fact just the opposite!! Ignore this place!! Try Wildfire or Perry's steak house. read more

Food good , ambiance very nice service was sub par for the price Our waitress was very uninterested in us , had to ask for items to be taken away when we were done to make room for the next course. Underwhelming read more

Our first time at this location. We were seated by a host who acted like we were an imposition. Placed our order and couldn't help but hear the manager and our server arguing in loud voices, which ultimately affected our server and service . Normally we dine at the Rush St location. Guess we will stick to that location. read more

Ordered carry out and they were quick to say hello and ask for a name when I walked in the door. A server brought out my food efficiently and out the door fast. I would have to say the food was plastic wrapped so tightly that no spillage took place in the bag - probably best wrapped carry out food ever!! The eggplant parmigiana dinner comes with pasta and rolls, which was pretty good. Probably best to enter the shopping center from the Deerfield Road side to find the stand alone restaurant building. read more

All I need to say it is a much better spot than the one on Rush Street. Looking forward, when in Deerfield, to dine with friends & family once again.

My wife and I visited Rosebud on Tuesday for the first time and we both had a really nice evening there. We had made reservations and we were seated immediately. We were given water and a mix of breadsticks and bread right away. I ordered the Rosebud Baked Ziti and my wife ordered the Baked Cavatelli. I thought both dishes were excellent. Very tasty. We also ordered the Godiva Chocolate Mousse Cake for dessert. We asked the waitress if we should order our own desserts or whether one would be large enough to share. She said they are definitely shareable. She wasn't kidding, see the picture I uploaded. It was huge and it was excellent. We both really enjoyed our meals and will be back. read more

If it wasn't for our waiter, I would only give 1 star. Please listen to the other reviews when they say this restaurant is overpriced with subpar food. The food was not terrible, but for the prices they charge you might as well go somewhere else and get better flavor and quality. The drinks were good, and the wait staff worked hard to satisfy, so I gave them an additional star. Sadly, not a place I will visit again. read more

Every time we come here the service is great. The host is always welcoming (younger guy with brown hair) and makes a point to interact with everyone and that's refreshing. The food is good, and the drinks are also good. The ambience is nice and sometimes we come after a walk/exercise just to have a drink(ruining our workout) and just sit at the bar. It has a cute outdoor patio also for beautiful days! read more

We have been coming to this Rosebud somewhat regularly, and I wanted to make a comment that we are really happy with the service, food, and new general management. The food is always super tasty. I'm including a picture of a beautiful chopped salad (with salmon) and it was really wonderful. The warm bread is also a total hit. My wife had one of the chicken dishes and she was also very happy. The regular bartender, Daniel is great. My mouth is starting to water. Just thinking about going back. read more

We've been coming here for years since they originally opened at this location because it was so much more convenient to get here than in the city. This review is long overdue however the photos and experience are really a culmination of visits and also specific to Father's Day 2021. Service here has always been very friendly cordial and respectful and usually quite funny. I do enjoy that relaxed atmosphere and the interaction. The menu has stayed pretty traditional and straightforward throughout the years. Our favorite has always been the brick chicken because there is something magical about the seasonings and the way they roast it. We have been here during Covid and luckily have made reservations. There's a small outdoor dining section as well for this location. There is ample parking as the parking lot is dedicated to them. Would continue to definitely come back and visit as it has been consistently good with the food quality. read more
