    My goodness was that good. Traditional dishes were perfect. More unique dishes were exquisite. The only knock was that the Caesar salad was only average at best. Everything else was absolutely top notch.

    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!

    We enjoyed the Valentines Day menu including bison meatballs, tomato & onion salad, petite filets, mashed potatoes , & chocolate cake! All were accompanied with a California red wine blend. Note to mgr: please put that tomato, onion & blue cheese salad on the regular menu… it was a winner! All food was cooked to perfection. Our server, Stacie, did an excellent job…courteous & fun! Even though it was a busy night, the service & food did not disappoint.
