    This place should be shut down due to bad food and service! The deceptive menu is but costly decorated slop which made me ill! And the staff are but a bunch of mindless robots under Jans's evil spell! Also, on my third and final visit to the corrupt place, I was forcibly banned due to karaoke song choice. And although I later appealed by email, the ban still stands. The drunk insane vulgar owner Jan Rosen should be put in an asylum NOT allowed to run a business! And if I could I would give the place zero stars for discrimination! More bad publicity COMING SOON! And Judgment is COMING SOON upon this wicked place!!!

    We went here for NYE dinner. The restaurant was very busy and loud. The service was slow but expectedly so since it was a busy night. Our waitress was over the top, I wish I had gotten her name so I could give her a shoutout. My husband has a seriously dairy allergy and there was nothing on the NYE menu he could eat so she had the chef fix something special and my husband loved it. She was very knowledgeable and friendly as well. The reason I heave 4 stars not 5 was the ambiance. They had xmas and New Years decor I would have liked just New Years since we were there celebrating New Year’s Eve and also they had live music that was terrible! The sound was so off it was like a junior High band practice. I’m glad our table was the furthest from that noise or I would have had a lot worse night. When it’s a special occasion they should really hire trained professionals to do the music.

    Met friends there for dinner for NYE. Great food. The place was packed so service was a little slow. Good time though.

    This was our dinner for New Year's Eve. We were acknowledged when we arrived and were seated right away. We ordered drinks and appetizers. One drink came, then about 20 min. later the other drink arrived. Then, one appetizer arrived....then 15 min. later the other two. We had the Heirloom Tomato Salad, Ahi Poke and Lobster Bisque. We then ordered our main courses. The appetizers were great, I will order those again. We finished our appetizers and waited about a half hour for our main course. (Prime Rib and Artichoke Chicken)....again....amazing food. About half way through our main courses, a small loaf of warm sour dough bread showed up. I love the food....but the service seemed erratic. I'm not sure if it was the kitchen in getting food out, or the waitress. (Who was adorable by the way) I would have been more assertive about the service, if she wasn't so sweet. It was New Year's Eve and I wanted her year to end well. We will be back. We loved the food and want to believe that the service was an indication of the day of the year.

    Made a reservation for New Year's Eve, but it was my mom's 75 birthday, which is why we went. It was rather chilly on our arrival and very dark. We acclimated and of course when the restaurant started filling up, it did warm up. I had to ask a couple of times for an ice bucket for the Champagne that I brought. Other than that, the wait staff was pretty attentive. Although they knew we were there for a birthday, they did not offer to comp a corkage or a dessert. We paid for everything. This place is a bit pricey, but the food was very good. Will definitely go back sometime.

    Timing of food delivery needs improvement. Entree showed up when appetizer and salad had just been delivered. Entree was removed but when brought back after finishing appetizer and salad it was cold. Flavor was good but cold !

    Very good night out with family, good waitress she was enjoying her job. Delicious entrees, a bit expensive, but worth it. Will recommend Rosen's 256 North!

    We had the veal chop which was tender & moist. The mashed potatoes were cold. They were sent back & reheated but they still were only lukewarm. Otherwise, The atmosphere was fine, a little chilly though, the waiter was excellent trying to help us with rectifying the meal.
