    Pesto Pasta
    Alex L.

    Recently came to this restaurant and heard good things so decided to try it out. Being that it was Monterey we thought the prices were fairly good for the food. The outside looks nice, inside was clean and they had good customer service. One thing I'll add is the presentation of the food, we all got pasta and they looked sooooo good, and had a great taste as well. The pesto pasta was my favorite, but the Alfredo was pretty good too. The bread tastes freshly made, and we even tried some mocktails, the Paradise Cove. Definitely recommend, I know we'll be back :)

    This is the overcooked potatoes that I couldn't eat

    I love Rose's and I know things happen. We eat quite a bit but not only did that happen with the plate and the potatoes we got home my mom and I and got very sick. The only thing we ate the same was eggs. I'm not sure what happened, but I will say I will always be back. Rose's is one of the better restaurants in my opinion and stuff happens. Nobody's got a perfect restaurant now I just need to get the cake. I was promised months ago because the cake I brought home was dry, but I'll figure that out with the manager anyways I'm not saying don't Go things happen. Everything on the menu is good. I'll be back probably next week for a Caesar salad chicken Caesar and Island dressing.

    Seafood pasta

    We ordered the: Minestrone Soup Chicken Parmesan Lasagna Seafood Pasta Food-4-5 Service-5/5 Atmosphere-5/5 I enjoyed my Chicken Parmesana, which came with garlic bread. Chicken was well seasoned and the sauce was flavorful. Noodles were cooked perfectly and every bite was delicious. The minestrone was quite salty for my taste. My daughter ordered a bowl for dinner, but it was hard to finish due to the salt content. The lasagna was just ok. My other daughter enjoyed the seafood pasta, which was full of shrimp and salmon. I found the food was inconsistent although the overall dining experience was wonderful. The server was very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We went on a day where there was a farmer's market right outside. Very high foot traffic but the wait was only about 15 minutes. I would come again of if I was in the neighborhood.

    Large Ham with three eggs over medium and potatoes

    Rosine's was an awesome spot for breakfast in Monterey. Nice ambiance low light setting with the sunshine coming in, very great service. The large ham platter came with three eggs, potatoes, and toast. The food was so delicious. Our waitress was so very kind and gracious throughout ensuring that our glasses were full. Truly a great first time experience!

    This review is just for the cakes. Oh my! They're soo delicious! We got 4 slices and they're huge!!! Very moist and flavorful. The Black Forest cake was very good. The strawberry one was a classic. And the banana walnut was the favorite. We also got the chocolate and very decadent and every chocolate loves dream.

    Lasagna

    I went in for a late lunch today and got seated right away. I noticed a weird odor in the air and on the booth. I read someone's review earlier and they said the same thing. I ordered a Margarita which was pleasant. For food, I ordered the lasagna. It was delicious. Everything I look for in a lasagna. The music that was playing was really off putting. Loud pop rock or whatever genre it was. It didn't fit the place. Also, there were a lot of gnats flying around our table. They must have a drain problem in the kitchen or something.

    We had lunch here recently during car week. It's an established family-style restaurant that doesn't need to rely on updated decor to draw business, because it's in a great location in downtown, has an excellent old-school menu, serves good food that is nicely prepared, and to top it off has a bakery case at the front checkout filled with giant cakes that you can get slices of "to go". My wife had the tortilla scramble and I had the open-faced hot turkey sandwich, complete with mashed potatoes and heaps of yummy gravy ... the kind that makes you wish more places still offered dishes like this. Delicious!! Our server was courteous and efficient and was quick to bring me even more of that gravy when I asked. We resisted the temptation to buy slices of cake to go, but only because we were on our way to a car week event. Next time...

    Hearty Beef Minestrone Soup (Cup)
    Alex L.

    Stopped by Rosine's Restaurant while visiting Monterey. The service was great throughout the meal, and it's easy to see why this place is so popular with both locals and tourists. We started with a cup of their famous minestrone soup, which was solid. It was hearty and comforting. For the entrée, I ordered the lasagna with meatballs. Unfortunately, it was just okay. The lasagna itself wasn't bad, but it just tasted like your average lasgna. The bigger disappointment was the meatballs. They were cold, not tender, and lacked seasoning. The highlight of the meal was the Lemon Blueberry Cake. This dessert was absolutely divine. It was light, moist, and not overly sweet. The balance between the lemon and blueberry was excellent. After a fairly average entrée, the cake completely saved the meal and ended things on a high note. Overall, I enjoyed the experience thanks to the friendly service and an outstanding dessert.

    Fettuccine Alfredo and Cheeseburger
    Johnna E.

    We were able to get a last minute reservation at this place for our anniversary dinner, and I am so happy we did! They had plenty of patio seating so we were able to bring our dog with us to join in on the fun. I ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo, and it was delicious. I personally love when my pasta has so much cheese so this place did not disappoint. The portion itself was huge and with 4 prices of garlic bread I knew there was no way I could finish my whole plate. The food came out hot and tasted like warm, delicious comfort food. My husband ordered the burger and he said it was very good. Not pictured here (since I got too excited and started eating before taking a picture) is the chocolate wafer cake we ordered. I have to say this was the star of the show. I am not a big cake person but this cake was something else. The chocolate whipped frosting was so light and not too sweet. The cake itself was very tasty not too dry and not too dense. The Kit Kat "wafers" added the perfect texture of crunch in every bite.

    Celebrated our friend's bday here today which happens to be Memorial Day. I took the initiative to reserve a table as I know it'll be super busy. And boy I was right! The place is full of patrons and tourists. We were seated 4 minutes upon arrival. We all love this place and all our foods came Out to our liking. But for the highlight of our visit today is the exemplary service that Shelly has given us. From start to finish it was amazing. She was a sport as to our jokes and conversations. And she made us laughed so hard. It was a bright addition to our celebration today. Thank you so much Shelley or Martha for making our day super fun! You're awesome!!!

    Everything is very good here. The location, easy parking, the food, the service - we had a very nice time. I got the salmon Florentine eggs Benedict - wow! The salmon fillet was huge, the eggs poached perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was divine. Only compliant is I couldn't finish it as it was so much food. Good problem, really. Hubby got the calamari steak sandwich. This is a beautiful 'piece of meat' breaded and fried - absolutely delicious. Having a breaded steak between two pieces of bread was redundant - so we sliced the steak into ribbons and simply ate as an appetizer, dipping the slices in the best tartar sauce I have ever had. We cannot wait to come back - but will only order one entree because they are so big (not complaining).

    Made a reservation via OpenTable for 7:15. We arrived a few minutes early and we're seated promptly. Our waitress was extremely kind and friendly. The menu options for both adults and kids were amazing. We ordered the chicken parmesan with alfredo pasta, Caesar side salad, calamari strips appetizer, and two pieces of cake for our kids which were massive sized. I also ordered a mango Italian soda with cream. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The place had a really nice vibe, wasn't too loud, loved the brick wall accents. It seemed chill yet also classy. Will 100% come here again and recommend to everyone.

    7/13/25 Zach and I decided to get brunch at Rosine's before heading back home. Since we had Coco, we requested an outdoor table. There was plenty of outdoor seating, but the tables and the seats were covered with lots of bird poo. We chose the table with the least amount of bird poo, but maybe the restaurant should try to clean the outdoor tables and chairs every now and then...our host didn't seem bothered by it which we thought was weird. Here's what we got: - Crab avocado benedict (mine) - Crispy hot chicken sandwich with onion rings (his) We waited about 15 minutes for the food to come out. Of the two plates, the crab benedict was actually good. The chicken was advertised as hot and crispy, but it was neither of those two unfortunately. The chicken was pretty bland and unappetizing. The onion rings were mediocre. Overall it was an okay brunch. It was a convenient spot since our hotel was nearby.

I redeemed 32,000 World of Hyatt points per night for a one-bedroom suite. The property itself is beautiful and has tremendous potential, but unfortunately the attention to detail and overall execution fell short of what I expected from a Hyatt Regency. Prior to arrival, I personally emailed General Manager Kevin Ellis and explained that we were visiting Monterey to celebrate my birthday. Upon arrival, there were two balloons on the coffee table and two handwritten coupons for house drinks. While I appreciate any acknowledgment, it didn't feel particularly thoughtful for an adult milestone birthday. A personalized note, bottle of wine, or tasteful welcome amenity would have created a much more memorable impression. The suite was spacious and attractive, but housekeeping needed more attention. The master shower had visible dark spotting around the caulking that appeared to be mildew, and the carpeting did not appear thoroughly cleaned. The suite also had very limited amenities--essentially a couple of paper cups and Keurig pods, with no proper glassware or silverware. Our reservation clearly indicated three guests: my wife, my adult son, and myself. Yet the suite appeared prepared primarily for two. My son was supposed to use the sofa bed, which unfortunately was extremely uncomfortable and caused significant back discomfort. Management later provided World of Hyatt points for the inconvenience, which I appreciated, but a suite designed to accommodate additional guests should provide a reasonably comfortable sleeping arrangement. Another major frustration involved my World of Hyatt reservation. Despite redeeming 32,000 points per night, there was repeated confusion regarding the resort/destination fee and my applicable benefits. I ultimately received the fee waiver, but only after repeatedly contacting the front desk. At one point, I was told this was somehow a "modified" World of Hyatt reservation. I still don't understand what was modified--I redeemed my World of Hyatt points and booked as a World of Hyatt member. There also seemed to be a disconnect between what the reservation team communicated before arrival and what the hotel understood once we arrived. A loyalty member redeeming a substantial number of points should not have to repeatedly explain the reservation or chase down applicable benefits. My biggest concern, however, was management responsiveness. When guests take the time to communicate concerns, particularly directly with senior management, there should be timely acknowledgment and follow-through. Several matters seemed to require additional emails before receiving a response. The property is beautiful, the location is appealing, and the suite has tremendous potential. But beautiful facilities alone don't create exceptional hospitality. Housekeeping, communication, responsiveness, consistency, and attention to detail make the difference. I appreciate that management eventually provided some points and addressed certain concerns. However, compensation after problems occur is not a substitute for getting the fundamentals right from the beginning. With stronger operational oversight, better coordination between reservations and the property, improved housekeeping, and more knowledgeable handling of World of Hyatt reservations and benefits, this could be an excellent hotel. Unfortunately, our experience did not match the potential of this otherwise beautiful property.

My friends love chilaquiles so I decided to try it out. I got red sauce over green. Excellent portion size. They gave a good amount of chorizo. While the dish was plated well and tasted good, I'm not a huge fan of soggy chips so maybe the chips could be piled on top or requested on the side. Dad liked the shrimp filled by the sea omelet. Caesar salad looked great and was satisfactory, according to Mom. Sis had the loaded chorizo burger with such tasty amazing fries! I love the way they cook them. Tiramisu French toast looked incredible. Barely sweet, the cream was lightly sweetened with a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Not much of a coffee profile. The brioche slices were burnt a bit though and flavor-wise it was missing something. Check out their Instagram account for the secret menu. I asked if they had churro French toast but it's no longer available. Street parking and possibly a few lots nearby. Take a walk on the cobblestone streets and do a little shopping after a nice meal.
