Reviews
"Beautiful location near Crown Casino. Great service and very accommodating. We had a great dinner. We we also provide a complementary cake for our engagement, this place truly knows how to make a special night even better."
"Cold restaurant with average food, wear a coat. Food was excessively expensive but not matching quality. I don't mind paying $30 for an entree but not for an average dish containing only 2 prawns, or a tiny portion of unbalanced tuna and grapefruit. If you are charging so much money per dish, the quality should be excellent and the 2 or 3 mouthfuls delicious. It was not. Very disappointed and left wanting. I would not return or recommend. Brightest point of evening was the staff. My own fault for not looking at your recent reviews. Meal started with a small slice of burnt bread and good quality olive oil. Unfortunate. I did get the prawns. Thank goodness they weren't disgusting like the previous reviews. They were ok. Just tasted like prawns. Was very surprised and shocked i got only 2 average sized prawns for $30. My daughter got the tuna. Even smaller portion of overly bitter grapefruit flavoured tuna. Bizarrely chewy wagyu. Panna cotta highlight of the night. Very creamy, they have a good pastry chef."
"DO NOT GO HERE!! ABSOLUTELY WASTE OF MONEY!!! Prawns were served partially cooked, for $60 for 4 prawns, you'd expect them to be cooked perfectly- or atleast cooked. Crab tagliollini pasta was horrendous, pasta was uncooked and unflavourful. For $45 we only got a tiny plate of pasta and it was finished in 4 bites. Tortellini was good Bread was stale and cold, we would have been better with Coles sourdough. Ultimately would not come back. ever."
"The ambience is amazing at Rosetta. Felt like we had travelled to Europe. Food was yummy but we were surprised by small portions. The waitstaff were really, really slow to make drinks and didn’t ask us if we wanted more drinks once we were finished."
"One of the most overpriced places I have been to. I certainly don't mind paying top dollar for great food, service and ambience but this place is so pretentious. The wait staff are too cool to provide any kind of friendly service. Not attentive and very rude. I wouldn't be going back. The saving grace is the beautiful decor so maybe pop in for a coffee but the food was ok to taste but so not worth what they are charging. Not worth it."
