Our first time trying Rosebud Wheeling and it was mostly impressive! The prices( as with most restaurants like this) are too steep! Be selective as to not over do it! The only disappointment was the complimentary rolls! Two rather basic dinner rolls dressed up in glossy oil or melted butter with flecks of parsley! Tasteless! I think given the upper level caliber of this establishment- Rosebud should do better or don’t bother! This was a very cheap opening to our meal!

As usyal, the experience was great. Tonight we met a server new to us named Mary. She was very friendly and efficient. We had to chuckle when she asked if we had been there before, since in 2024 we had been at the Wheeling facility 53 times. Mary has been added to our list of favorite servers.
