Had dinner here for the soft opening. It's beautiful! Loved the ambiance and decor. Good acoustics, wasn't hard to hear each other even though it was crowded. They have a really interesting drinks menu. The rose fizz and berkeley bee are innovative variations of classic cocktails, and ranch waters and spritzes are lower alcohol. Red wines by the glass were some of my favorites including gamay, barbera, and cabernet franc. The food is similarly diverse, with generous portions. The vodka pasta with pesto and burrata has a spicy kick. The pulled pork nachos aree substantial, good to share. Everyone loved the kofta meatballs, tender and flavorful. The fried chicken is more of a katsu-style cutlet. We had the pavlova with orange slices and lemon curd for dessert, light and delicious, not something I usually see on menus. It's great to have a new fancy place like this in the neighborhood! I'm looking forward to coming back. read more

What a welcome spot to the neighborhood and beyond! Great ambiance - perfect combo of casual and lovely; delicious food and cocktails. Is it a bar? a Restaurant? A cocktail with delicious, substantial food? A great spot to hang out in the chairs by the window or for a group in the back? All love the above! I tried almost everything - especially loved the ceviche, asparagus, lamb/beef meatballs but really everything including burger and fries. The menu planners and cooks know what they are doing and the bartender is obviously creative and talented. Welcome and thank you Roses! Even though I live in SF I plan to visit often. read more

Went to this place for the first time during their happy hour. The food was surprisingly delicious and each item had unique flavors. The space is absolutely beautiful with rose colored Art Nouveau style. I think I found my new favorite place to get a romantic drink. read more

Still love the ambiance and food. They were woefully understaffed last night (I believe one server for the entire place) and we never got our second round of drinks and waited 30 minutes for the check. Hopefully just a fluke. read more

When I first walked in, it was clear this is an elegant place. Bouncing with atmosphere the food did not disappoint. We ordered the lettuce wraps. The tofu I was bursting with sweet and savory flavor. I have never tasted such crispy and fresh lemon asparagus. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes. read more

Great drinks, delicious food and a welcoming staff. A wonderful addition to the South Berkeley neighborhood.

We came in with a party of six and were seated promptly. Service was great and we ended up trying nearly everything on the food menu -- everything we had was fresh, delicious, and beautiful to look at, too. My favorites were the tofu lettuce cups, house salad, the asparagus, and the chocolate budino for dessert (which may actually have been one of my fave desserts in recent memory with the mousse-like texture and candied nuts on top!). Cocktails were superb. Highly recommend the Money cocktail with the chocolate-chile rim, and the chocolate slushy. read more

The very best. this place is so awesome that no matter how long I would go on about it it wouldn't do it justice. Every single person on the staff is on point whether they're just working weekends or not. I had the best cocktail have ever had in my entire life called the big gulp here and look forward to having it many times again. It gave me a brain freeze that at all tells you what's up with that drink and peaks. They have a sweet atrium type thing in the back where you can chill out with your peeps away from all of the rest of the din And the staff actually comes back to check on you. I saw firsthand the manager come back and ask everybody back there if they were cool. That is so awesome and rare and today's food service industry I can't even talk about it. Go here you will see what I mean. read more

Took me by surprise. The history of this place is fascinating. The atmosphere fun, drinks strong, and delicious food.

Loved everything. The food was delicious. The drinks were great. Service amazing . Definitely recommend

Fun place. We loved our server. Food arrived quickly nice and hot. And great tasting. My only critique is the limited menu. Also music was too loud for this impaired hearing person. read more

What a fun lil gem we found bc of a news article! Happy hour was a DEAL. Summer splash cocktail is incredible, and so were the sweet potato fries and trumpet mushrooms. They also don't allow children which is a plus! read more

Great environment, excellent food and drinks. We made a reservation but nobody checked it and it didn't seem to matter as we were seated immediately. Service was, unfortunately, inconsistent and a bit of a let down, as not every server was being proactive about watching the floor, so we had to struggle to get attention, silverware, etc. Assume these are just teething pains and things will improve after they have run for a while. All in all it's an excellent venue with a friendly neighborhood vibe. read more

Super! Amazing craft cocktails that are carefully hand crafted and delicious. They serve handmade butter that is simply amazing. The owners and bartender give great service. Highly recommend! read more

Roses On Adeline - Slushy drink with pop rocks! - Tapas Bars Near Me - Berkeley, California

My first time trying this place was, sadly, a huge disappointment. The bartender was rude and dismissive when asked a simple question about the food menu. I was so taken aback by the bartender's off putting response that I nearly left the establishment. My friend and I moved to a table and, thankfully, had a nice interaction with the server. Unfortunately, the sweet potato fries were charcoal and too salty and the summer squash was burnt. The fried chicken sandwich was simple for the price. I really wanted to enjoy a decent meal in a warm community environment. This wasn't that experience. read more

Food, drinks, service, ambience and costs outstanding. All 4 of us will be back soon as we had a great time

Roses is a great neighborhood restaurant and bar. I've been there a few times over the summer and have been consistently happy with the cocktails and the food. (I particularly love The Bees Knees and now it comes with a house-made honey brittle, which was delicious!) Yesterday we had the tofu cups, patatas bravas, and ceviche, and loved it all. So glad Roses is in the neighborhood! read more

Outstanding drinks. Jen is a great bartender. Japanese Old Fashioned and The Money are excellent. Jen can make a great cocktail.

Atmosphere, nice. Food not that great, drinks were good. Service ok Noisy Location good read more

delicious food and incredible service. the burger and sweet potato fries were out of this world. 12/10 will be back again!

The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the sweet potato fries with chipotle aoli and the ceviche as appetizers. Marvelous, difficult to not gobble it all up! The workers were kind and thorough even under the pressure of a lively environment. I plan on coming back! read more

Great food drink and ambience. Fantastic service as well. Sometimes they have a live DJ

A neighborhood spot that's worth a drive! Elegantly casual, super chill vibe, yummy food, very creative cocktail menu, sweet staff. There was a groovy jazz two-piece playing when we went; not sure how often they have live music. Can't wait to go back. read more

Love this spot! My cocktail was delicious and the veggie crudité and truffle fries were soooo good! Exactly what this area needs and a great spot for a night out with friends without the kiddo. Cannot wait to go back. read more

Nice, looking place beautiful bar. It would've been nice if the waitress gave us some smiles. We went for happy hour very limited menu. The burger was good. The fries and sweet potato fries were outstanding. read more

An all around delightful experience. Ambience spectacular with interesting design choices. Food choices for all tastes. Summer squash with lemon ricotta delicious and best sweet potato fries ever. tutu lettuce wraps a surprise. All sauces magic. Leisurely pace of bar kitchen gives diners and drinkers time to talk and eat. Will be back many times for pleasurable experience. read more

Beautiful interior design, spectacular cocktail program and all the perfect bites to pair!

We were seated immediately, but then we sat for 25 minutes before we acknowledged. Our drinks were good, but it took 45 minutes before we received our first appetizers. We ordered 5 dishes and it took a total of 3 hours to receive the balance of our order. Unfortunately a very bad experience. read more

This place is fantastic! The staff were so friendly and kind. We got great recommendations, including the seasonal smash -- which is maybe my new favorite cocktail. All the food we got (bread & butter, patatas bravas, ROA salad, and rigatoni) was delicious. My favorite was definitely the patatas bravas. The vibe was great. Beautiful decor and nice set up of the space. Lots of cute little places. I will definitely be coming back. read more

When you walk into the door at Roses on Adeline you are immediately uplifted by the visual interior. Stepping out of the busyness of Berkeley into a restaurant there to provide you with comfort. The food is delicious satiating your taste buds with satisfaction. The drink menu unending in delicious choices. I highly recommend an evening at Roses. read more

Ridiculous service. Kicked out of restaurant for family dinner after making reservations.

Service was slow to start and acknowledge new person at table. Tapas were so so , salad not too exciting

The decor is gorgeous, the cocktails are splendid and made with great care, the food is tasty (the burger, fantastic), and the crew could not be more friendly. This place is so classy they had a custom neon sign made to go in the front window. What's not to like? Just a perfect spot for dinner and drinks. Go check them out! read more

Had the smash burger, best I've had in a long time. The staff was so kind & the drinks were awesome. Hope they thrive !!

This place is really a hidden gem - please give them your business while they are establishing themselves! The drinks were great, the wine list well-curated, and the food was really excellent. A great place to spend an evening with friends or a date night. Attentive service too. Highly recommend. read more

Great service. Food, ambiance - trendy, lot of fluff, no substance. Cocktail was sugar water. Food was salty. Probably best to stear clear of their house cocktails. read more

Good food, unique drinks, slow table service. We will try again! It's worth it to give another shot.
