    This is creative gourmet Thai food so that even the normal sounding dishes are extra delicious with fresh ingredients and marvelous taste combinations. Venus, our server, was really helpful since one of our party (me!) doesn't tolerate spicy food very well. That said, if you like spicy food you will be very happy!

    My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary last night at Roses on Adeline. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty, and taken to a quiet, table for two,just as I requested on the reservation. It was our first time at Roses on Adeline, and we plan to go there many more times after feasting on mouthwatering bread, delicious Happy Hour cocktails, salad, Pasta, smash burgers, and the spectacular dessert, lit with a candle to celebrate US! Wonderful, attentive service and a romantic ambiance.
