"Our meal started out great. After having our salad course, which we had ordered at the same time as our main course, we were ready for our entrees. We waited, and waited-we called our server over who hadn’t been back to the table since our salad course was cleared. She made a quick comment that our food was coming and moved on. We then waited and waited until we again called her over asking where our food was. She again said it was coming. I explained that it was taking a very long time. She didn’t apologize or even try to explain, she just kept repeating that it was coming. Another 5 minutes later, our food came out-drowning in sauce, sauce congealed and looking anything other than freshly prepared-with the exception of my husbands. Again, our server was not around our table and I had to get up to find a manager. When we told the manager of our issue, showing the plates of food akin to what one would find at a greasy diner, he said he would take the food away and comp our glasses of wine. My son kept his dish as he was super hungry and needed food. When getting the bill, only the uneaten food was removed, leaving us with a full bill for both my son’s less than amazing chicken dish and our glasses of wine. We then had to wait again for our server to pay the bill so my husband went to find the manager to pay so we could get out of there. Extremely disappointing, especially for the prices that Rosebuds is charging. As a family who eats downtown Naperville 1-2 a week, we will not be back! Our Italian meals will be enjoyed at Francesca’s down the street instead."

"I never leave restaurant reviews, but we had such an off putting experience at Rosebud. My partner and I are in our early 20 's, and we dress/look a bit alternative. We are quiet, easygoing people and always tip at least 20%. We had a reservation for 7 PM on a Saturday night. We arrived and were greeted kindly by some staff, and then led to our table. Our server was at our table immediately to take our drink order, and obviously bristled when we ordered soda. She arrived with our drinks, and we placed an order for our appetizer. She brought out the appetizer very quickly, and then asked for our entree order. We had barely had a chance to look at the menu, so she said she 'd give us a few minutes. Not even 2 minutes later she was back, hovering over my partner 's shoulder. This is where it was evident that we were being rushed. We ordered our entrees, myself ordering pasta and my partner ordering the $60 wagyu steak. The food was brought out no more than 10 minutes after placing our order. The steak was cooked very unevenly, some parts being extremely tough while others were very red. It was clear that our food was rushed, which is disappointing because of the price. The server returned to refill our drinks, pointedly saying, one free refill. I was really disappointed to feel like we were unwelcome in our server 's section, from the way she was speaking to us in a very patronizing way and how it seemed she was rushing us so that we would leave. We had a reservation, were polite and friendly, and spent a decent amount of money. We finished eating, and the server asked to bring the bill, cutting off my partner mid sentence while he was responding. We paid our bill and left, our entire time spent in the restaurant being under 40 minutes. There were countless tables around us that were relaxing and chatting, but we were given a very different treatment. I enjoyed my entree, but the service and treatment from our server made it to be a sour experience. I wouldn 't recommend going here if you appear more alternative or young, as it appears some of the staff has internal biases towards these demographics allow it to reflect in the service."
