Before our planned to trip to Monterey, my bf and I had read up on local restaurants. We read about Rosine's and the reviews were good enough for us to try this place. A few minutes from our hotel we drove into a quaint part of Monterey with small shops and restaurants. We spotted Rosine's without any trouble, parked and went inside. As we entered the restaurant the sign read, "Please Wait to be Seated," and so we waited reading the specials of the day. A minute or two later a hostess walks in from outside with an attitude like she could care less about us or even working there. Her snotty attitude made a negative first impression for us; especially when she sat us and practically threw down the menus down without going over any specials. After getting our drinks from a busser, our waitress greeted us, she turned out to be quite nice and helpful. We both ordered breakfast, which was small in portion but good. Once again, when we were paying up front, we had the same lady who sat us and once again she was rude. Moral of the story, Rosine's food is good but avoid the short haired hostess on Thursday mornings.
Amazing! I love Rosines. I moved to Monterey over a year ago and love taking visiting friends and family to have some of the delicious cakes. The menu is huge! With lots of choices. Everything thing on the menu is great! The soup is great, the sandwiches are to die for and the pasta is aaaaamazing! Save room for the cake!!!!
Discovered Rosine's last year on a whim. We were staying within walking distance and our hotel manager suggested this gem. It was later in the evening and still packed. The TALL, scrumptious desserts in the glass case made quite an impact when we first walked in, so ordering one was a given, even before we saw a menu. The atmosphere is ecclectic and lively. With two teenagers to please, we ordered chowder, angus burgers, salads and fettucine. All EXCELLENT! Our waitress had a great sense of humor and always kept our glasses filled and checked in regularly. We are preparing for our annual beach vacation and a younger member of our group said we MUST go to Rosine's again, no matter what. We will! Oh, BTW, the desserts were like heaven on a spoon and too much to finish.
