Rosebud Theater District

Food was just ok, but the service and our waitress specifically, was way beyond good - she was outstanding!

The food was just soooo mediocre! There are so many other better itlaian food choices around. Prices were actually reasonable given the name and location. Servers seem to be used to rushing people out of there so they can catch shows, so I guess they treat everyone this way....
Don't bother with this place!

First of all, trying to find the valet parking for this location is annoying as hell.  I had to call the restaurant twice just to get someone to tell me where the entrance to the valet was because why would it be in front of the restaurant?  FYI: You need to enter the valet on Dearborn, which is a one-way going south, so you'll likely end up circling the Chase Bank Building a few times before you get the hang of it.  

Also, there's a Rosebud in this office building kiddie corner from the Rosebud Prime?  It seems a bit odd to me, but that's fine.  Valet is $11.99 or $20 (flat rate) for 3+ hours (which is nice if you're going to a show).

They have a good "wines by the glass" list, with several selections under $10.  Their pours are weak, though, so you'll end up having a few glasses and not even getting close to downing a bottle.  Full bar available, so you can order to your heart's content.  No beers on tap, which sucks, and they're all pretty pricey.

The menu is pretty standard Italian fare at outrageous prices.  There is no pasta dish (sans meat) under $15.  Yikes.  My mom ordered the steak and lobster special for an outrageous $45 and said the steak wasn't very tender or cooked well.  C'mon, the cut of meat should at least be good for that price.  My pasta was probably the only good thing about the meal since it had jalapeno marinara sauce.  My husband's ravioli were pretty decent but, again, super expensive.

I'll likely never come back here.  It's convenient if you're seeing a show nearby, but there's other dinner options so I'd choose one of those.  Or, I'd go to a late dinner in another neighborhood after a show.  Skip Rosebud Theater District if you can.
