Review from Annette A.
1/10/2011
For our last meal of 2010, we decided to treat ourselves to Rosalie. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted and brought to our seats. The place was beautiful inside, with soft golden lighting and mirrors. Another nice detail was how apparent it was that the staff put a lot of care into make sure they themselves looked elegant, both females and males. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the type to oggle over servers, but it was just nice to see that the staff matched the beauty of the restaurant.
Our coats were taken promptly. Our drinks were delivered within minutes. Our water glasses were always full. There was nothing wrong with the attentiveness of the servers.
For my meal, I had a mushroom-based pasta dish. Five stars here. It was lovely, not too heavy, not too thin. And the portions were perfect so I didn't feel guilty when the plate was empty. If you have an opportunity to try dessert, I highly recommend that you do. They seem to put a unique spin on classic items. Apple crisp with parmesan ice cream? Chocolate cake with a sorbet that tastes like Frank's Red Hot? Skip it if you're the (boring) traditional type. -

They have a really great terrasse. Definitely worth it to get lunch during a nice day in the summer. The pizza is pretty good (wood fired) and what I have always ordered. The waitresses are really hot for the most part, and have somehow taken part in some reality TV show. However, service can be really slow. Don't expect to be in and out in an hour. Even when there is no one else in the restaurant, the waitresses take 10 min to get your bill and then swipe your card.
The desserts need working on as well, not much choice.
I have always managed to see someone famous whenever I eat an early dinner here.
Overall, its an ok spot to grab something to eat and have a decent pizza at a reasonable price. Never really partied here so cannot comment on that aspect, but I heard Wednesday nights are the best in the summer. -

Great spot. Location, food, service! I've eaten on the patio twice, not sure what the inside is like. The neighborhood seems very quiet, nice and peaceful for dinner outside yet it is half a block from one of the busiest areas in Montreal...

It had great potential and it felt that way just by looking at the chic and pretentious-looking people twist their spoons in their plates with careful dexterity, laughing and toasting every few minutes. You can feel the energy in the front patio where the bulk of the energy was.
Rosalie's was crowded, so we were seated inside where it was a little quieter which was a disappointment for me since I wanted to be in the nucleus of the festive atmosphere. We got some spurts of activity inside from a table of drunken professionals hitting on the waitresses.
We arrived at the front expecting the staff to be attentive and friendly, but the hostess immediately doused that idea from her snotty and curt attitude.
Our waitress was better. She started out attentive but her appearance at our table gradually waned as the night progressed. Naturally, when it came time for the bill, she materialized before our eyes, perhaps to show how responsive. How quaint.
I give the two stars for the excellent Duck Confit that my girlfriend ordered and which I picked (shared) from her plate. It was the only highlight of the Rosalie experience. On the other hand, my pasta sucked ass. It was so bland it was like eating Styrofoam with olive oil and a dash. It was probably one of the worst pasta dishes I've had. Whoever prepared that flat dish should try it themselves.
The worst part is: Rosalie is expensive.Make sure you save up if you decide to eat there. -

Arrived at 6 on a Thursday night and were pretty much alone, except for some drunken professionals hitting on the waitresses. I guess the Rosalie's crowd goes for happy hour and drinks somewhere else before dinner.
Dinner was deliscious, portions were plenty. Staff was attentive and polite. Although on the expensive side, I think it was worth the price for the food an ambiance. -

This place reminds me of Cactus Club in Vancouver but with better food. The servers are all females dressed in black dresses so I think their target clients are men. I counted since it wasn't very hard and there were only 3 females sitting here during lunch, my friend and I being 2 of them.
My girlfriend and I dined here during our trip to Montreal during lunch time since Europea was sadly closed for lunch. The restaurant has a large outdoor dining area and their doors open up to open the restaurant up as well during the warmer seasons. The decor is very modern, sleek and strreamlined. -

I've been coming to this place for over 10 years, and the food has always been good, but sometimes better than others. The atmosphere is always happening and the waitresses are gorgeous and service is great. I will return and recommend to others.

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this restaurant a few weeks ago. Both of us are vegetarians and we struck up a conversation with the Manager / Maitre d' and the restaurant served us an amazing meal. We had a green salad, the mushroom ravioli, side order of asparagus and mixed mushrooms. All of these were just leading to the delicious chocolate molten cake and coffee ice cream. We enjoyed a bottle of a Pomerol with our meal and for a birthday present - a shot of sambuca with an espresso float.
I was quite impressed by the service by the manager (Heidi) and our waitress (Marie-Eve) and the secondary staff. When we first looked at the menu, we were not thrilled as it was prominently non-vegetarian. The maitre d' (can't I stop writing Heidi's praises) designed a gourmet meal for us with our taste preferences. On a Tuesday night, the dining room was busy but not loud, the mood was romantic and overall had a great ambiance.
Looking forward to dining and having a great experience at Rosalie again. -

I went to this restaurant for a celebratory dinner, it was the worst dining experience of my life. Three of the guys we were with wanted to start out the evening with a glass of scotch, so after about 25 minutes when the only waitress serving the entire restaurant came over to us for the first time, they asked for scotch recommendation...her response was Jack Daniels?! We then tried to order wine, they were out of our first 4 choices. We then ordered our meals, three people ordered salads and everyone ordered an entree. After we ordered we noticed that we had not received our scotch about 15 minutes later because there was no bartender, so finally one of the bus boys wandered over to the bar, filled 3 glasses to the brim with ice and started pouring Jack Daniels into the glasses, one member of our table saw this and went over to the bar to instruct them on which scotch they wanted and that traditionally it doesn't come in a glass entirely filled with ice. So we waited a little while longer, while the table behind us all left, as apparently they had been waiting 45 minutes for a waitress to come and take their order. Finally one salad and all of the entrees except for one arrived, so we canceled the other two salads and tried to eat as slowly as possible so that the one person whose entree didn't arrive wouldn't be stuck eating there all alone. So we waited another 20-30, by which time everyone else at the table was finished eating and finally canceled the final entree and that person ate part of one our other friends pizza. After we asked for the bill and were paying the check, the canceled entree finally arrived! Which we politely declined!! We then asked the waitress if there was any management around, we were told that the owner was there but was refusing to speak to customers as many people had asked that night. She also told us that the restaurant was poorly managed and they constantly experience problems of being comically understaffed, the kitchen being low on supplies, and only having about 50% of the wine on the winelist in the restaurant on most nights. Long story short, this is by far the worst restaurant I have ever been to, but the end we were all laughing because the service was so ridiculously bad, I would expect better service than this at subway let along at a restaurant were most meals cost $30+++
