    The food was exquisite all we expected from the reviews we read. Worth every penny. Our waiter was excellent. Recommended daily specials. Went way out of his way to accommodate my wife who has food allergies. Recommend food and wine pairings. Lovely atmosphere but still lively and fun. All the waitstaff was attentive and friendly. We are visiting feiends from out of town. Wish this restaurant was near our home we would be here every week.

    Rose’s Cafe is one of the best places in SF - Cow Hollow but a quieter end of Union St , it’s a favorite for locals from The neighborhood. Fantastic home made pasta dishes, fresh salads, crispy thin crust wood fired pizzas and amazing Chocollate cake - YES !!! Love the ambience and staff are perfection. Already looking forward to going again…

    We ate early - 5:30p - so not noisy at all. Our server was incredible - really helped us order. We chose the ulala and meat fondues and then the Smores for dessert. Extra apple slices for dipping. All delicious. Perfect for a rainy evening. Fun spot for families, groups, all ages, date nights. Decor is authentic Swiss chalet style. We will be back!
