Rosines Restaurant - Monterey (CA)

5 /5 John Mukhar: Four of us stopped in at Rosine’s for dinner before a concert at the Golden State Theater across the street. We had a 6:30 PM reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival, despite the restaurant being very busy. Our server greeted us promptly and took our order without delay. We ordered the Chicken Parmesan, Fettuccine Alfredo with Prawns, Crispy Hot Chicken Sandwich, and the California Club. The food arrived quickly and everything was delicious. I had the Crispy Hot Chicken, which came with hot oil and hone; excellent flavor and perfectly prepared. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. We all enjoyed our meals and still had plenty of time to walk over to our concert. A great experience overall.

5 /5 Chandralekha Yenugunti: We absolutely love the food everytime we come here. My favorite is the loaded potato appetizer. I have been here more than 3 times and have never been disappointed, this is our go to spot for lunch whenever we visit Monterey or Big Sur. Most recently we tried their cream cheese chocolate cake for my brother’s birthday and it was amazing. The waiters were so sweet and came together to sing a birthday song and it made my brother’s day.

5 /5 VR S “The Vintage Farm Chick”: This is a Monterey County legend! Known for their spectacular desserts, especially their cakes! Everything we’ve ever had for breakfast or lunch has been delicious. Service is good and the coziness and decor (especially at Christmas) is inviting. We look forward to visiting again on our next trip home. Highly recommend! Don’t miss out on dining here at least once if you are visiting Monterey.

5 /5 Raymond Santiago: Decided to stop in for an early dinner with my wife and had a great dining experience. I reserved a table for dinner through the OpenTable app. After spending the afternoon visiting Carmel by the Sea, we got hungry a bit earlier than expected so I revised my reservation to an earlier time. Upon arrival to Rosines we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. After being seated, we were welcomed by Sarah, our charming and informative server. She took our drink order and gave us time to peruse the menu. My wife decided on a cup of the minestrone soup and lasagna, and I chose a cup of the clam chowder and calamari steak sandwich. My wife is somewhat of a minestrone soup afficionado and she thoroughly enjoyed her soup saying how tasty, flavorful, and chunky it was, claiming it was the best shes ever had. My clam chowder was equally enjoyable, thick and tasty and full of clams, potatoes, and vegetables. My wifes lasagna was artfully presented, surrounded by slices of garlic bread. It was delicious and had the right balance of noodles, cheese, and sauce. My calamari steak sandwich was also delicious, evenly breaded and included a buttery toasted bun, fries, and ketchup and tartar sauce on the side. The portions of our entrees were very generous such that neither of us could finish and had to take the rest to go. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at Rosines. Sarah was very attentive to our needs, answered all of our questions, and promptly refilled our drinks, all while being gracious and welcoming. Well definitely return the next time were in town.
