    Great overall experience. Very casual spot with inventive and delicious menu items. The beef tartar was a fun and tasty approach to this dish. Fried green tomatoes, tartar with a devil’s egg type sauce served withlettuce wraps. So good! Great job on the BBQ shrimp. The sauce was really flavorful and loved the simple toast served with it. The fried mushrooms and onions were amazing.

    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.
