Good idea, extremely poor execution! We were one of only 3 tables on a Sunday night. There was a “wait” to seat us as they set the table (despite the fact that we had a reservation through open table). They never came to take a drink order, were out of the bottle of wine we requested (despite a limited number of choices). The waiter came and jokingly said, “oh sorry, sometimes we loose people in these booths”….then in the middle of us ordering left “to go do something” and we had to get up and go retrieve him from organizing silverware! I swear I’m not making this up! Food was ok. The mussels, previously reviewed as wonderful, were ENORMOUS…way too big for a natural mussel. The broth was excellent. Halibut was excellent. Too bad the execution is so poor. This place will never survive unless they have a major change in their service.

To those that complain that $6-30 meals and entree are pricey, come on down to OZ where I would be more than happy to pay that sort of price for what sounds like an up-market dinning experience. Up-market dinning here will give you entrees at $8-22 and mains $26-40, don’t forget the $8-12 for dessert; so get over it!!!
The one thing this ex-InSane Diegan really does miss is good Mexican food and I always treat myself up when I come back. I will have a go at Roseville next visit as it sounds good by all accounts, dispite Benleo’s jab..
Some people would complain even if you hung them with a NEW rope…!

Buzz wants to know what made the service and food items bad (and what made the foie good?). Restaurants need to know the good, bad and ugly about their operations.

Disappointing

Food was ok, nothing special, service was bad, room is disappointing.

Apps: Asparagus salad, Ok, Cauliflower puree soup: bad: foie gras very good.

Entrees: Flat Iron Steak good, Duck: ok, nothing to return for.

Deserts: ok, nothing to return for.

Services: Bad, Wine Service, Very Bad.

Room: Ok.

Overall find somewhere else to dine.

My husband and I went to Roseville the last night of restaurant week and sat at the bar Great experience. Food was fantastic, the dessert – a hazelnut creation was to die for. So nice to have an upscale neighborhood restaurant. Highly recommended.

Hey Smitty,

when you order the mixed greens you get mixed greens. If you order the comise pear salad with st.agur cream, candied pecans,
red wine gastrique & belgian endive you get a comise pear salad with st.agur cream, candied pecans, red wine gastrique & belgian endive.

See how that works?

Roseville is a charming addition to San Diego’s dining community. A fellow blogger and I happened upon Roseville one evening and were delightfully pleased with the classic duck confit, papillote du jour, and orecchiette & humboldt fog gratin enhanced by a wonderful wine selected for us.

This is a definite throw back of the days when restaurant servers were refined and took pride in their presentation as they assuredly do at Roseville.

Great room. Like Laurel meets Blanca with a little old school elegance thrown in. Loved the stuffed zuchini blossom … best I’ve had in this town, for sure.

Ambience, service and quality of food all get an A. We tend to
favor the neighborhood restaurants of Hillcrest, University Heights and Kensington and relative to those it was a bit pricier. We wish them much success, Roseville is a great addition to the Point!
