    A great time was had for our double date night. Service was great. Food was delicious. Amazing ambiance. This place is small but very nice. It's a must try!!

    I have walked past The Rose many times and have been intrigued to try it out. My one regret is not trying it sooner! Came here for breakfast with a friend and luckily we had a reservation. Strongly recommend making one, since this place is always popping! Breakfast menu has a lot of options to pick from. I had the chicken chilaquiles w/oaxacan mole and my friend had the carnitas hash. Both items were savory and well-seasoned. Picking a sweet item was hard - they have so many options that sound exquisite. The server mentioned the sourdough pancakes and the bakery goods (all made with sourdough starter) but we decided to go with the pancakes. Pancakes look simple, yet they are so good and fluffly; I recommend getting them with the cardamom whipped cream. But still, so good on their own - quite possibly the best pancakes I've had in San Diego.

    Came here last week and had a marvelous time! I love the natural wine selection, the whole look of the place, and honestly every employee has such great style and such an inviting personality. And the hidden bakery/café in the back? Obsessed. Truly an all‑around great South Park staple. We shared a few apps and I would definitely recommend the papas rosas (their twist on patatas bravas) and the empanada. You really can't go wrong here. Such a cute spot for date night, happy hour, girl dinner, or celebrations.

    Influenced by social media and initially came here for the Rose salad but ended up with the Carnitas Hash I sat at the bar last Sunday as I did not come with reservations. I had great service from Jasmine (hope I spelt that right) and also others working that morning that I didn't catch names. Thanks again!!! It was my first time to come here and normally I don't have brunch often outside at restaurants. I really enjoyed the Carnitas Hash and did not regret my choice. Taste was just right and egg was cooked perfect to my liking. I found a hair in it halfway through eating it. After noticing, I let the other server know and he brought it back to the kitchen and I received a new one. I was really hungry and had time to wait for a replacement but I do gotta say they handled everything professionally and just right to make me want to come back and eat again. Thanks for offering a discount and giving a gluten free brownie. I discovered another sweet treat I didn't need to know. (Secret sister will be getting my money) Overall, 100% recommend The Rose and glad I came across this spot. I highly suggest to make reservations as it was pretty booked throughout the afternoon as after eating I went next door to Secret sister which is connected to enjoy a matcha and do some work! Available bathroom use in the communal Outdoor seating available as well

    Tried The Rose in South Park and already can't wait to go back. The wine was delicious, the patio was super cute, and it's dog friendly which is always a huge plus. Our waitress was honestly the highlight of the night, so fun and friendly and made the whole experience even better. My only wish is that they had fries on the menu, but the ruffles and ranch definitely did the job. Such a great neighborhood spot!

    What cute place inside and a wine store too, We enjoy this beautiful decorated bunch and dinner spot with outside seating too We had a reservation for 4 after the farmer market It was a rainy day was we were all hungry We were greeted by my daughter she had a table And we order our drinks I had a chai Waters for all of us and 1 OJ And another tea also When we ordered and I had the pancakes Chilaquiles, breakfast sandwich Hash Everyone's food came but I waited at lease 8 more minutes and a server came to say they are almost ready. Okay we'll it took so long Finally the pancakes were at the table I started to eat but it took a long while Not a good impression Everyone food was good, but I had a box to go

    The rose is a very cute spot. Cons: the menu is limited, not too many options. Parking, challenging to find a spot. Pros: the service, very friendly servers. The food is really good!

    Chose this place after a little walk around South Park. It was a little chilly but we sat outside with the heaters near. The table was smaller/chairs were a little uncomfortable. Service was good, very sweet waitress. We ordered an appetizer- it came with a little bit of everything from the app menu. It was $52.00. To be honest it was a little underwhelming. We did order baked clams, to it had bits of chorizo in it. It was a smidge too salty but it was still tasty. For dessert we had a brownie al a mode. Not pictured. I would come earlier next time; their breakfast/lunch and dessert menu is a lot bigger. But overall pretty good.

    Cute brunch spot with a patio, nice option with plenty of outdoor seating in South Park. The food was okay, but unfortunately the menu is a little confusing. They have rolls of sourdough on the menu, but when we ordered them for our table they came room temp and dry. We requested butter, which they then charged us $1 for. We also asked for 6, they only had 5 left, but charged us more than 5/6 of the price listed. Just overall odd things to me to gouge people on at a nice restaurant, and it definitely dampened the experience. Drinks took a little bit to come out as well, but those were perfect (get the spritz!)

    1/2 dozen oysters and pickled veggies with a glass of prosecco.

    Oysters were super big and buttery. Just came for quick girl dinner!! Staff was super nice and the vibes were chill. Will definitely come again.

    O k so my wife and i decided on an impromptu date afternoon and we found this place because we were interested in some oysters. It's a great little spot in South Park. Wonderful wait staff, and absolutely delicious food and cocktails. Everything that we tried was delicious and I can't wait to go back..

    The rose is a staple favorite of mine - the waiters are always super friendly, food is delicious, and a great spot for group dinners. The potatoes are one of my favorite items on the menu! The zucchini side dish was also really good this time and I tried the fish dish which I didn't enjoy - a little bland and lackluster so would pass on that next time!

    the rose is my favorite restaurant in san diego!! i think it is truly a hidden gem. such good wine selection and the food changes seasonally which i love! the olive oil cake is always a must to finish off an amazing meal. the vibes are chill wine bar and the service is always great

I loved that the wine list felt thoughtful and approachable, with plenty of interesting options to try. They also have beer, cider, mocktails with a great small-bite menu, not fried bar food, and a really nice happy hour, which makes it an easy place to settle in and stay awhile. The patio and quirky indoor space both have so much character, and the whole place feels like sitting on a backyard patio.

The happy hour wine selection was excellent and I started with a red blend that was great, then shifted to a sparkling. The bartender was wonderful and gave me a sample to try before I ordered. I had dinner plans so don't want to eat too much, but the warm tajín olives were delicious and something I need to recreate at home. I had the most beautiful afternoon here and will come back on my next visit to San Diego!

    Alright. Enough with the nonsense Juan Jaspar…read more The staff is not friendly, unless you're a regular. The staff enjoys chatting with customers more than doing their actual JOB. The staff is entitled, upright and annoying. They don't have a proper waiting list system. You can't pay with your cc, only zelle and or venmo. Juan Jaspar is VERY dog friendly, like over the top. There's literally more dogs than people. They have sketchy chairs outside for you to wait until their heart desires. One tip for this desperate little place: time your tables to 90 mins max. You don't have the square footage nor the grit to keep it up. I do not recommend this place to myself nor anyone else. I am banning myself indefinitely from Juan Jaspar. Trust your gut people. I said I wouldn't go back and I did. That was mi mal.

    Five star spot all the way! Ambiance, service, food... I cannot wait to come back to this place…read more My friend and I shared a hamburger, fries, and the arugula-beet salad. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. Menu looks simple, yet the server assured us they can make other items that aren't on the menu (like steak frites) because of the butchery next door. I will have to make another visit to try the steak frites and their desserts next time. Although there aren't many seats, the atmosphere is cozy and the service is friendly.

The moment you walk in -- boom -- you're in a different dimension. Ultra classy. Ultra elegant. Ultra "I just closed a deal and now I deserve a perfect Pinot." And let me tell you something...

When the waiter brought us our entrées, he asked if we ordered a burger and sandwich to which we said yes, however when I took a bite of mine, I realized it was the salmon sandwich, not the fried chicken. We flagged the waiter down, and it turns out it was meant for the table next to us. He made a comment about why we would say that was our food and lie, and it felt rude because we responded to his question that I did fact order a sandwich not realizing he handed me salmon.
