We came to Rosebud last night after an unsuccessful attempt to get a table at Czehoski jwhich was packed (just before 7 pm) and the few vacant tables were reserved..... Note to self, make a reservation for Czehoski for a Saturday night.
We walked into Rosebud which was completely EMPTY!!! First clue! Supposedly the restaurant was completely reserved in the next half hour or so. But the waitress was able to find a table for 2, so down we sat.
She explained the specials (food and wine) and the menu itself looked good.
Then we looked at the wine list. Quite extensive white wine selection in a variety of price ranges. The red however was quite short and VERY expensive with the majority of wines in the $100 range. NOT!
We got the scoop from the waitress..... seems the owner is busy with other projects and his wife is pregnant. And there's no manager at the restaurant.... so no one's ordering wine. OR as we contemplated later.... is it that cash flow is so bad, they can't purchase wine???
The waitress offered us a bottle of wine at a discount, but at this point we were wondering if the owner/manager was ignoring the wine, were they also ignoring the food? And the waitress also mentioned she'd only been there 2 weeks.... so are they also ignoring the restaurant and the staff are clueing in they may be working on a sinking ship?
So, we decided to cut our losses and leave. Too bad really, as this was supposed to be a great restaurant at one time.
