Myself into group of friends came here from my birthday dinner recently. While the service wasnt great, the food made up for it. The seafood paella, yucca fries, and butternut squash were must-haves. The pollo a la parilla was good. The tomahawk steak was the only culinary disappointment of the night but I believe it was our friends fault for insisting on it being cooked medium which was too much.

Spectacular and unique food dishes at an amazing price point. Beautiful dining room. Front bars and dining area are noisier than the far back dining area.Squash is fantastic! Olives and gherkins are spiced with Thai peppers. Ceviche is wonderfully tasty. The chefs here are some of the best in Los Angeles. I thank them for the delicious dishes.Heavy pours on the cocktails. Valet or street parking. Highly recommended.Exceptional quality!

Listen to me...... This place is amazing! The dishes are so finely crafted. Feels like they should have a Michelin star. The staff were super kind, the ambiance is beautiful and the food feels like it should be way more expensive. You will remember and talk about their dishes for a long time after trying them.

This was my first time there, and I enjoyed every bit of it. The drinks were amazing. The bartender was awesome. He made me a specialty drink. From the time we walked in the door, until the time we left, the employees were great. Very attentive and polite. I would definitely go again and recommend it to family and friends.

Taste :4.3/5Environment: 4.4/5Service：4.3/5Rosaline is a contemporary Peruvian restaurant that offers a variety of dishes, from ceviches and causas to grilled meats and seafood paellas. The restaurant has a stunning patio dining area, where you can relax and savor the fresh flavors and aromas of Peru.One of the dishes that I highly recommend is the chaufa paella, which is a fusion of Chinese fried rice and Spanish paella. This dish is loaded with shrimp, calamari, chicken, pork belly, egg, scallions, and ginger. The rice is cooked in a rich and savory broth, infused with saffron and soy sauce. The result is a mouthwatering combination of textures and tastes, with a hint of smokiness from the wok. The portion is generous enough to share, but you might want to keep it all for yourself.Rosaline also has an impressive cocktail menu, featuring classics like pisco sour and chilcano, as well as creative concoctions like bellicose warrior and purple haze. The drinks are well-balanced and refreshing, perfect for pairing with the food or enjoying on their own. The service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is lively and cozy.

Delicious, delicious. The Lomo al trapo (pictured) is one of the best meat dishes I have ever had. Can’t wait to come back to try their Chaufa. One little BUT — the two sides we got were not as amazing. I wouldn’t recommend the Causita crocante. The Diver Scallop is just a regular salad, which is boring, but the scallop itself was also out of this world!!! Big, cooked really well and topped with crispy quinoa.Overall, recommend this place big-time and will come back.

Fantastically good food, service a bit absent, place a little chilly and not jolly if you are not in a group.But the food is really really good, paella sublime, so if you want a great meal dont hesitate to go there. But bring a sweater as its a covered patio and I suppose difficult for them to get the temperature right.

Great experience dining here!Excellent food and service! All dishes were very flavorful, distinctive, well prepared and presented. The service was on point and I was impressed with every plate. The ceviche was my favorite - sea bass was tasty and the grilled prawns were delicious. The presentation of Paella was perfect as every bite of it!I enjoyed the interior and friendly service! This is a perfect place to go on a date or even in larger groups!

Cute vibe and good food. My favorite dish was the scallops with yuzu and arugula salad. I didnt get to try the bread due to allergies but my whole group said all the spreads were delicious. Also enjoyed the octopus and potatoes. Simple and well cooked. Space can get a little tight but service was great and vibe was lively. Everyone was well-fed family style without breaking the bank. Hope to come here again during the day.

Really great scallops, seared with a sweet nearly raw center. The accompanying salad and grapefruit were quite complimentary. The seafood paella was comforting, with juicy plump shrimp, although lacking a bold flavor and crispy rice on the bottom. The lomo saltado, while beautiful and a smooth tomato sauce, overcooked the steak.Service was polite and fast. The ambiance was cozy with great vegetation decor.Would like to try the ribs and eggplant.

A novel restaurant with unique flavors that is worth a try. Valet parking is available. Not sure how authentic the dishes are but they are tasty.

Had dinner with a very good friend on a Monday night. We made our reservations through Google or OpenTable (?) and we were seated right away. It wasnt busy during the time we came in so I feel like anyone wouldve been accomodated right away even without a reservation.To start, we ordered Ginger and Strawberry Mocktails because its too early for us to have alcohol on a Monday lol. The drinks were both pleasant and refreshing. I highly recommend both drinks to try!We had Hamachi Ceviche and Aceitunas for our appetizers. The portions for both orders were good for 2-3 people max. Our ceviche was super fresh and had the right kick of spicy to it, we totally loved it! Plus the butternut squash with the sauce.... TO DIE FOR. The Aceitunas was really, really good! I just wish there were more flatbread but really cant complain. The eggplant puree really complemented the olives and the nuts, super delicious!And for our main dishes, both the Camaronea and Chaufa Paella ARE AMAZING. The serving for the paella was very huge so we still had leftovers to take home. The giant prawns were cooked to perfection and it was very savory!Will definitely for sure come back to this place. We really enjoyed our experience dining in Rosaline.Also, our server was pretty nice and sweet! We forgot her name but I told her she looked like a model because of her cheekbones lol, such a cutie!

This restaurant has absolutely delicious food! The eggplant mousse we got was my favorite- it was so flavorful and probably my favorite dish of the night. The ceviche was fresh and had a great marinade. The one thing we’d pass on in the future was the paella. It was good paella, but it just wasn’t anything to write home about when every other dish had a beautiful flavor pallet.

Had dinner here a couple weeks ago. It was my second time going. Love the ambiance of the restaurant - hanging plants, dimmed lighting, small but nice bar.I started with a mezcal cocktail - the quita calzón. The drink was well mixed and I appreciate that it was a craft cocktail that actually was worth the $15 price tag, which is surprisingly on the “lower” end of the price spectrum for LA/Weho. Not complaining though!I came here thinking that I had liked the lomo saltado the first time I went but I was either mistaken or maybe they changed the recipe because it was not as good as I remembered. It seemed lacking in flavor this time around. Thankfully we ordered a couple of ceviches - sea bass and grilled avocado with scallops - and the arroz con pollo, which were not short on any flavors. The arroz con pollo was a healthy serving too. One might even say, a bang for your buck considering where we were. I surprisingly walked away very full from the meal my friend and I shared. I’m a dessert lover, but nothing stood out as a must have so we spared ourselves the extra calories.Overall, this place is worth a threepeat but next time I go back, I think I’ll try something new…my second choice entrees were the paella and branzino.

Amazing food and a beautiful dining room. The service was on point and I was impressed with every plate. The ceviche was my favorite - sea bass was amazing and the halibut was spicy but delicious. I’d also recommend the ribs and scallops. Great experience dining here!

A very nice little spot off of Melrose and La Cienega. Beautiful dining area inside and a complete lack of pretentiousness. Expect just about everything on the menu to be stellar. Get the short ribs if you can. The ceviche/crudo offerings are all stellar and offer their own unique personalities. The rice dishes are well thought out and balanced. Its very relaxed even when it gets busy. Id recommend taking your time and exploring several menu items at one sitting. Reservations are a good idea since after the 1st hour it does get quite busy. A great Friday cocktail and early dinner spot.

Love the taste of each dishes and delightful cocktails, scrumptious, delicious, simple yet beautifully presented on each plate. Peruvian twist, exotic ingredients, breezy rain forests ambiance that felt like you were in South American continent. Amazing service and lovely spot for a date night at the heart of Melrose. Be mindful of parking around the area.

Rosaliné remains consistently excellent, this being my fourth visit since 2018. The menu hasn’t changed much, but why should it? So many of the dishes — causita crocante, grilled avocado, corazón anticucho — are iconic. Cocktails, like the food, elevate uniquely Peruvian flavors with creative modernity.

Cool spot on Melrose. I dont know what true Peruvian cuisine is, but the food is good and it is a great looking spot Bartender Gilchrist is very accommodating and nice. Gotta love the booming voice too. Go check it out, its with a try! Well go back, for sure.

This place was poppin on a Friday night. Filled with chic patrons of all walks, this West Hollywood hot spot is located next to EP & LP Rooftop on the busy Melrose and La Cienega corner. Parking is terrible so valet is certainly your best bet if driving yourself.The Modern Peruvian menu had some really great dishes and the cocktail list was awesome. I tried to do some research on the restaurant and couldn’t find anything, so I’m not really sure the backstory of this place.We ordered the tomahawk, Branzino, Seafood Paella, Causa Jar, and the Hamachi Ceviche. The best of these dishes was the Seafood Paella and the Ceviche; both were excellent.In terms of the service there was just a couple things that left some room for improvement. Our party didn’t have the proper place settings - several people were missing knives and forks because they would get cleared without being replaced. And none of the dishes came with serving utensils, so everyone had to use their own to divvy up the food. For a restaurant at this price point, this is a big miss. I’ll assume it was just a bad night.I’d certainly recommend planning a night here for some yummy eats before a night on the town. I wouldn’t necessarily plan a date here though because it is very loud and geared more toward the party crowd.Check it out and enjoy!

Beautiful ambience, really polite and nice people. We tried their lomo Saltado and scallops. Both were top notch. Their pan andino combination is a really good starter while you are waiting for your main course.Highly recommend.

Peruvian food is calling your name! This place has a special place in my heart. What a great experience I got the pleasure of having at this place. Service was excellent and the ambiance was intimate, yet lively. The vibe is wonderful and the lush vegetation from the ceiling just adds to the atmosphere!Cocktails here are fabulous. Highly recommend the Bellicose Warrior. A solid drink that has that smoky mezcal with a citrus kick!For appetizers, the Causa Jar and Kampachi Ceviche were great starters! The Causa Jar has layers of deliciousness served with some toast to spread on. The Ceviche was paired with some sweet potatoes that gave a wintery vibe. Super delish!For entrées, the Lomo Saltado and Arroz con Pollo were elevated comfortable dishes with a Peruvian twist. The Lomo Saltado is a breakfasty dish with a sunny-side egg and filet mignon. The Arroz con Pollo was hearty and very well made. Juicy chicken over rice with an explosion of flavor! Really enjoyed both dishes!Overall, cant wait to visit back here. Definitely want to try some of the amily style dishes, such as paella, another time!

Great customer service and very cool place!However, we tried two different types of ceviche and they were not great! Pisco Sour was definitely not the best I have tried. But the chaufa seafood was definitely 5 out 5.

Came in for dinner on Saturday night. Definitely got busier as the night progressed.Ceviches are a must; we had two: kanpachi and avocado. The former being my favourite of the two.Additionally, we had the roasted squash salad and the chaufa paella. I’d never had a Peruvian paella before and was pleasantly surprised.

The food was incredible! I loved the causajar and ceviche crocante. The causajar potato mousse and avocado dip was the highlight of the dinner :) The vegetarian fried rice was so flavorful and delicious. The ambience is modern chic and apt for date nights. I would highly recommend this place.

I came to Rosaline with a friend when I was craving some Peruvian food and I will say it’s not traditional Peruvian food but it’s quite delicious.To start, the restaurant itself is stunning. It’s fairly open and we were seated in the sort of atrium section which has plenty of hanging plants and is especially beautiful as it gets darker outside.We started with the causita crocante, corazon anticuchos, and the ceviche crocante. Each dish was small but delicious. I was worried ordering the cod fritters because I usually hate mustard but man did they make it work. Everything tasted fresh and and each bit felt nicely curated.For our mains we ordered the seafood paella and lomo saltado. The paella was super flavorful and really packed a rich seafood flavor. The lomo saltado was definitely different than any I’ve ever had- I honestly felt like it had more of a beef stew flavor and was a unique experience but I don’t think I would order it again.We ended with the chancay con leche and sol y sombra. The panna cotta was good but the tres leche with the meringue and guava tasted like a sweet and fruity cloud.This place was super enjoyable and would make a great date spot. Oh, also the drinks were pretty damn good. 🤠

Food was good and tasty (fav were Kanpachi Ceviche & Scallops). A bit pricy for some of the portion sizes. Bustling loud atmosphere. Service was so so. Be aware they automatically add in 20%.

This was truly a phenomenal meal. Couldn’t recommend ceviche and paella more. 100% must visit if you are in LA and love seafood. The kampachi ceviche was just melt in your mouth and a flavour bomb! The seafood paella was insane. Perfect amounts of crispy rice and super tender seafood. Can’t wait to go back again!

A fantastic take on Peruvian cuisine. Everything on the menu was delicious with well balanced flavors. The seafood paella was some of the best Ive ever had with that perfect crust on the bottom. I cant reccomend it highly enough. Truly a gem.

After visiting Rosaline on three separate occasions I can say my experience has been identical each time. Incredible food with terrible service. Some of the best food Ive tasted and what should be the go to spot for paella in LA but not one dish that was dropped at my table was explained by the food runner and when asked about it no one seemed to know what was actually on the plate.

This restaurant is basically the perfect boyfriend! It has great cocktails, attentive (acts of) service, open minded and diverse food palette, moderate (yet satisfying) portion sizes, cute and welcoming, and comes with a reasonable price tag. If I lived in LA, I’d probably be renting a U-Haul to move in right away.Food: Halibut ceviche (fresh fresh fresh, and delicious), pan andino (can be ordered GF, but anyone will take the risk to eat this delicious bread), causa jar (hands down favourite; it is a unique taste with the sweet potato; still dream of this dish), chaufa paella (very quick, yet well made and balanced), camarones (superb), butternut squash (Id skip this one) and passion fruit tart for dessert (it’ll make you pucker and smile).Drinks: We tried near every cocktail on the menu. I prefer tequila, spicy and/or bitter drinks. All said I’d recommend the Bellicose Warrior, and pretty much anything but the Pisco Sour. Personally I don’t pisco, so a personal preference entirely.

Rosalind is a little place full of culinary magic. If you love-key fine dining, you will love Rosalind! Take my advice and get the short-rib—a perfectly exquisite dish to share for two without feeling excessive afterwards.

Great atmospohere, good portions and food came quickly - ill start with the positives.We saw our server once. Ceviche was unimpressive, unrepresentative of authentic peruvian ceviches i was excited for. The pisco sour was also pretty unbalanced and unimpressive. Beet salad wasnt great but the paella was decent. Confused why spanish style paella was served at a Peruvian restaurant. It was kind of expensive - 2 ppl 1 ceviche, beets, vegetarian paella and 2 pisco sours for $165. Overall, with all the restaurants in Los Angeles, especially in this area at this price point, I will not be returning.

Review №37

2020-08-23 07:55:02

A delicious dinner! Ceviches all hit nice, the Japanese touches and Peruvian elements complement nicely! The Lomo Saltado was done very well, tender and full of flavor!Drinks of course l had to try the Pisco, only too keep it original, it was 👌!The restaurant itself is beautiful and the spaces all have such nice visual appeal. Dessert was right up there, the specialty, must try! The sorbets were refreshingly delicious!!

A Peruvian restaurant with ample vegan options. Is it all authentic? Not necessarily, but it is the best option you will find in the area that captures some of the essential Peruvian flavors.Recommend the pan andino with the accompanying spreads and the maracuya drink that comes with a little flame.

You walk in and its like your in a greenhouse. Large glass paneled ceiling surrounded by luscious green plants, definitely a unique vibe right off the bat. My favorite part of the meal was the ceviche by far. Wonderful fresh fish with tangy flavor not too citrusy or acidic. I could have ordered all the different ceviche and been totally satisfied. The paella, steak and ribs were good but the ceviche was the star of the meal.

Incredible menu, the food was phenomenal and the wine we got was top notch. really fun small plates to enjoy a tapas style date night dinner, Ill have to go with a larger group next time so I can try their big family style dishes like the paella. every bite was immaculate and the vibe in there was great. friendly and attentive staff, neat layout, overall just a great experience. felt very affordable as well which is always a plus

2022-07-29 04:38:18

The food was mediocre. The paella was underflavored. Im not sure the panacotta dessert was actually panacotta. The scallops themselves were ok but with the dish in total was actually tasty. The service was slow, even when the servers were not busy. The ambiance was pretty but the music was overly loud for dinner. The most memorable part of the night was probably how one cocktail was served. Overall: best to try somewhere else.

Such a delicious experience here. The restaurant is massive - we sat in the front but didn’t even see that it stretches way back. The food was phenomenal and the drink menu was small but perfect. I would easily return here and recommend it to those curious.

Worst experience EVER. Bad testing food, bad presentation and awful service. Do not come to this restaurant if you’re looking for Peruvian food. They claim to be peruvian cousin, but the dishes are everything but Peruvian. Even the waiters act rude to you when you ask them for the dishes, they does not know the basic dishes or the name of the food. I ordered a “Lomo saltado” it was nothing even close to the famous Peruvian plate. We were 8 people on a table, all the dishes came in a different timeline, for a restaurant that targets a certain segment, does not fill what you expect.

2021-08-24 03:15:57

Amazing, amazing, amazing. The food was incredible, the service was top notch, and the overall energy of this place is unforgettable. We had the prawns, veggies paella, and topped it off with the best mango sorbet I have ever had. As we were leaving Frank Ocean was playing and it was the cherry on top of an amazing experience. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

This is my favorite place from now on. The steaks, the anticuchos, and a large salad option. I already tried Paella, Spraws, Salad, grilled fish, and the steakThere is a full bar, pisco sour made from scratch. Just be patient, the drinks are made from scratch, and its totally worth it.

We came with a group of 7 and ordered a lot on the menu. We had 2 vegetarians and we were more than satisfied. The cocktails are great, order the Yuka fritas and scallops. The vegetarian paella was amazing. The ceviches were AMAZING.

Excellent service! Our friend was running late and we asked the server to hold her drink - the pasión de la noche - which is lit aflame so she could see the flame when she arrives. The waitress kindly waited and brought it out just as she sat down which made for a fun surprise! The food was delicious and atmosphere relaxing and comfortable on a week night.

Rosalin is an excellent gateway into a cuisine, I feel, is far too underexposed. The dishes are clever productions on staple Peruvian dishes and fair prices. The 4 star rating stems from the seating arrangement, feels cramped to me and the taste, although very good, I prefer a more traditional presentation.

Ive been here 4 times and last night wasnt so good. The paella was much smaller than any other time I have been here. Also the waiter was very arrogant and never really spoke. That makes or breaks a meal. You are charged 20% for tip no matter what so the waiters should be spot on and nice, this guy was horrible! He shouldnt be serving tables ever!

LA must be joking people live by how much and who eats there this restaurant it’s lucky that no critic eats here for sure because we ordered a lot of food and we ate just 2 of them the rest it’s awful and I must say I’m a chef and this place it’s incredible I that they serve a plate that it’s supposed to be a paella and nice it’s smoked good but why spicy and why they don’t tell you it’s spicy and everyone in the restaurant told me I’m crazy that it wasn’t spicy and was burning my face literally, well the ceviches for a restaurant that have a Peruvian flag in the entrance should be closed for sure, joke of a ceviche I went to Peru Lima, tasted ceviche everywhere and this it’s a tartare with lemon and a lot of spicy and I literally told the server no spicy food please, the fish chicharrones so salty that you cannot eat them, and the only dish that literally I think people go to this restaurant must be the bread it was good but okey it’s a $14 small bread I can get a really good bread for free on any steak or Italian restaurant, and well after I complain they almost make me pay for the entire check that was $250 and literally took 20 minutes to bring the check I stand up and asked for it and then they gave me the full check and no apologies no nothing, if the owner or manager of this restaurant reads this you need to give training to your kitchen and servers asap or your going to get bombed by 1 stars review it even surprise me that this restaurant it’s 4.3 it should be 3 for the decorations sadly I we don’t eat walls or lights.

Gorgeous inside, wouldnt be the same experience if we sat outside. Food was good, apps were small but tasty. The veggie paella was cooked really well and the veggies fresh and delicious but we asked for a sauce bc it was lacking a flavor kick. Arroz con pollo was good as were the ceviches we tried.

Two stars because the food is pretty good.The prices and the small portions are ridiculous. A lot of the meals are listed on their menu as “family style”, they are not this way. We got the beef short ribs and it was enough for one person. It was basically just the meat, a very small side of apple slaw was served with it.There weren’t any sides listed on the menu.The wait staff should have been more informative about the actual serving sides.

We made a mistake when ordering the ceviche and got the crispy one instead of the raw one so would like to go back just to try the ceviche. Three food was okay. I dont know if paella is a party of Peruvian cuisine or not but if you are used to the Spanish paella, this one will not satisfy your craving. The desserts were quite nice so would recommend the alfajores with salted caramel. They have a ceviche bar where you can get a drink and a bite to eat if youre waiting for a table or want to grab something quick. Definitely recommend making reservations a few days in advance. They book up quickly.

Food is edible, though not tastey. We came for brunch. Beautiful outdoor patio, a little loud, but not a problem for us. Service was some of the worst I’ve experienced in some time. The waiter did not know up from down, and 20% is added automatically, so there was no effort on his part whatsoever. I wish this could have been a better experience.

Someone who is Peruvian took me here the other night and everything I tasted was superb! The paella was also quite a treat. I lived in Barcelona and became quite picky about this dish, its origins from the Valencian region of Spain. I also served it in my own former restaurant in Europe that included baby octopus, which to my delight was included in this Peruvian version.The waitress was also just as delightful.However, I have one issue with this place. Its atmosphere is tastefully casual with large beautiful plants and dim lighting hanging from the ceiling but what gives with the completely incongruous disco music?

Foods was way overpriced!!I ordered Pan Andino, Ceviche Crocante.Chaufa Paella & Seafood Paella exactly the same, the only difference was one come with eggs and sausage, and the other one was 2 pieces of clams.The total bill: $200For that kind of price, I expected something with more finesse not just a big cast iron with 80% of rice, 10% of veggies and 5% of burned crispy rice (which is the only best) and 5% of protein!!20% service fees automatically added and here is what they did:- Came to take orders.- Server came by to do some nonsense half effort stir fried skill.- Came back for the check.The place ask for fine dining price but come with IHOP quality.WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT!!

Let me start by saying that this place was a top notch. Our waiter Christian was so sweet and unbelievable. He remembered everything we ordered and spaced it out for us. Nothing was brought out at the same time, which I l extremely appreciate, to enjoy my meal. Everything was to the T. Service, food, ambiance, vibe etc.. only one dish was over salted which was the arugula, but they don’t deserve minus 1 ⭐️ for this. I wish I would have heard about this place before, how did I miss this one. Love Peruvian food. We basically tasted as much as we good and left with food coma. Delicious, will definitely come back and suggest everyone to go there.

Mid. But a little Less than Mid.Decided to check this place out since the mood for the night was Peruvian, and this popped up. Looked like a pretty popular spot and apparently its been around for like 5 years.Made a Rez, showed up and was seated right away. Good start. Then sat around for 15-20 minutes while people just walked around us. Mind you no menu or QRs offered. Im self sufficient and just went to the website. Never a stickler for service but like cmon guys lol.Grabbed the Whole branzino, Lomo Saltado, and the conchitas a la parmesana, so lets get to it:Whole Branzino : Decently sized branzino and pretty fluffy. A bit boney but thats to be expected when getting whole branzino. Some charred veggies and aji sauce. Honestly best thing here that brought the dish to life was the aji sauce, but it was so sparce that halfway thru the fish it was just branzino with some bean puree. A bit bland without the aji. The Charred veggies were charred so much they were inedible lol. This could have been better.Conchitas a la parmesana (scallops w blood orange): This was pretty good, but the scallops were tiny.Lomo Saltado: The usual protein star of Peruvian spots, so you gotta get it right? While presented well with the cast iron I think it was a detriment to the dish. All the steak was overcooked and dry by the time we got to it. The sauce itself was a bit bland. Was hoping some aji sauce would show up to pour over, but alas it did not. Huge miss here. Overcooked steak and bland overall. The flavor here mostly came from the roasted tomatos.I did get a drink called smoke and sugar and that was probably the best thing of the night. Not overly sweet and still a little bit smoky from the mezcal. This is the only thing i could recommend at the moment.Pretty disappointing experience food wise. It was a chill night with maybe 4 other tables, so I dont see how the kitchen could have felt rushed to push these out in the state they showed up.Id come back to try the paella, but I mean will I really? Not sure.Worth a try, but maybe it was an off day.

This restaurant is lovely. The interior decor and dim lighting really created a good atmosphere to have an intimate dinner with friends or a SO. I went with friends and we all were really into our food. I ordered the corazon anticuchos. The marinade was on point. My friend ordered the lomo saltado and he loved it. It isn’t a traditional version it is more asian fusion with the stronger tomato flavors in the sauce and overall bit of sweetness. Very tasty. My fiance ordered an arroz con pollo and it was SO GOOD. The green rice was top notch. The chicken was perfect. We all god mixed drinks: pisco sour(pretty good), pasion de la noche(so pretty it belongs on ig), and i liked the hustle and cuss mixed drink the most(not too sweet at all). Our apps were good too but nothing to write home about. We ordered the yuquitas fritas and the chicharron.The desserts really blew us all away.I got a passionfruit tart and my fiance got the chancay. The sorbets in both desserts paired so well with the pie. We were all in heaven. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I grew up in South America and Ive the pleasure of eating their exceptional cuisine. The Lomo at Rosaline is without exception the best Ive ever had - quality pieces of meat, boiled petite potatoes, and a sauce out of this world. We also had the seafood rice, Branzino and scallops, everyone at my table was overwhelmed by the quality of food and flavors. Great ambience, successful elevation of a world-class cuisine, and totally worth it. Enjoy!

The grilled octopus was delicious. Highly recommend.

Again nice restaurant, but would not return.

Service is strange and staff serving staff rude. The hostess was super friendly and sat us early so that explains the 3-star otherwise I would have gone with 1-star. No restaurant should argue to justify a 30-minute delay after they bring all the other dishes out at the same time.

I fell in love with the interior before I had a chance to even eat here. Then I finally tried it on a rainy day and lucky for me I was able to land a table last minute. I had a reservation for shared community booth, but because of the weather there were some open tables. At first the hostess didnt want to give away a reservation, but I asked her to double check because Im certain people had cancelled as Angelenos dont like to go out in the rain ;P The hostess was kind enough to check and give us a table. Im happy to report that the food is equally good, a bit of a fusion of different Spanish and Latin influences. Rosaline is now one of my favorites 😍We ordered the ceviche, lomo, and beets.

We went to dine in Sunday evening. Our table was at the corner of the room where it was very cold. Very uncomfortable throughout the dining. There was an AC right above us. I asked 2 employees if the AC can be turned off (I like the cold, but this is late evening and in February) but was told it was not possible. Neither suggested us moving to another table. Prices are very high in here and the food is really average. When we got the check we noticed that 20% mandatory tip was included in it. No surprise that employees did not try to make things right.

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles!! Their Paella is the best of the best. I have tried the seafood and the vegetarian one and both were equally delicious and large enough to share between 3 people. Ever since I have had it, I crave it and have to come once a week just for the Paella. Every thing else I have tried have not disappointed including their ceviche, causa jar, desserts (which I have tried all of them), cocktails, etc. It is the perfect ambiance and place to gather with friends. The service is so warm and attentive as well!!

Slow service and underwhelming food. Went for dinner on a late Tuesday summer evening, and even though they werent super busy it took way too long to be seated and served. It was about 1 hour before we saw our appetizer, beef hearts. Those were actually delicious. However once we received our main dish, Paella, it was very underwhelming. Our waitress checked on us once, and I had to flag down another waiter to ask that our water be refilled. Then to top it off, a mandatory 20% tip was added. I often tip more for good service but I think in this case they know their actual service would warrant much less. Your money would be better spent elsewhere.

Excellent food and service! All dishes were very flavorful, distinctive, well prepared and presented. We had two of their three Peruvian paella entrees, which were delicious. The seafood paella had maybe the best shrimp I’ve ever eaten. The butternut squash salad was wood fired and combined slightly sweet with slightly smoky. The beet salad was earthy but not overly so, with a great combination of flavors. Deserts tasted handcrafted and unique. Five of us left completely full and satisfied.

Great, upscale, Peruvian Restaurant! Overall, we have had really good experiences here, with helpful staff, good drinks and great food. The restaurant itself is very chic with planters hanging from the ceilings, sky lights and an open air dining space in the back. We started with some craft cocktails and ceviche, which they are known for. The ceviche servings are small, but well worth it. For dinner we asked our server for suggestions and how big each dish would be, I would definitely suggest doing this if youre not familiar with Peruvian food or with the food portions. We ordered two family style paellas and it was more than enough food for 4 people. This was a fairly pricey dinner, but the quality of the food and drinks is there. Will defiantly be back!

Not good at all, I felt I had no choice.👎50$ for a paella. If you are from Spain, you may be socked, I went like huh 👀? I was curious, not well achieved regardless . Too heavy and the sweetness doest allow you to taste the meet. Overpriced. People that dont know about it may go.... Wao delicious! Not me.👎 Waiter didnt know much about the background of Peruvian food . Tested him and tried to be mentored, and he failed. I asked him if Spanish gastronomy (Spain) has an Influenced on Peruvian food he affirmed not to. Then manager came and he said yes.Would I go again?👍 Yes for a drink👎Not to eat😕 Shrimp are amazing but overpriced😋 Ceviche very yummy😐 Tables smallOverall: 60% out of 100%Risky bet

Giving 5 stars for the food and about 2 stars for the service.The food is top notch. Not authentic Peruvian but with a very nice twist. Approved by Peruvian family. We enjoyed our dinner very much.But there is one thing we noticed is that it seems to be some sort of disconnect between management and servers. As we noticed that the servers not motivated to present the restaurant in it’s best interest. So we would really encourage the management to take action on it and make it better experience for everyone involved.

The 5 of us ate here for dinner. They seated us outside next to the street. It was too noisy so we asked to be seated inside. The hostess was kind enough to seat us inside at the back of the restaurant. We were so lucky to get the best table in the house!We ordered the Pan Andino and loved the butter, olive and jam spreads.We also had the butternut squash salad, the Seafood and Veggie Paellas and Arroz Con Pollo. They were all delicious!I think they are over priced for what you get.They have a nice atmosphere and the service was good.Be sure not to tip. You are already charged 20 percent for your tip. They mention they dont like tips, but charge you anyway.

For a food eater such as myself that doesnt like sauce or is particular about food texture I would not recommend this eatery. The only item that seemed to be free of creamy sauces or seafood based items was the short rib and was it delicious and overpriced! The short rib was not enough of a portion to fill an adult it didnt help that the food was paired with a cold saucey noodle dish which wasnt to my liking. So $54 for a few pieces of ribs, no rice, no mashed potato no vegetables left me wishing we went to another establishment.My girlfriend had an entree, 1 alcoholic beverage and we both ordered a soda the bill was a whooping $135 mandatory 20% gratuity. Ive been to establishments that were overpriced but this is the first time that I left hungry. In addition my girlfriend ordered chicken which in her mind Peruvian chicken is the best. The chicken was tender but it did not explode with flavor the rice however was very good. My advice is that you view the menu before going as I did and you should be fine I knew before arriving that I would not have chosen this eatery given my preferences. It wasnt my choice as I was taking my girlfriend to a restaurant of her choosing.

I feel strange leaving 3 stars as the food was great. The ceviche, paella and cocktails were all very delicious. We were a party of 2 and had 2 more sharables that great too. The only bad thing was the service. I have never felt so rushed and like hearded cattle in all my life. Every interaction with anyone who came to our table was the same. We had reservations, it was 75% full when we arrived and we only stayed about an hour a half. The restaurant was about 20% full when we left, so no one waiting for a table the entire time. I usually tip between 20% to 50% based on the experience. I told my friend that I was only going to leave a 20% tip because I would never return due to the service vibe. We started laughing when we received the bill and it had 20% gratuity automatically added with no space to leave more. Everything made sense as there was no perceived effort or engagement to anticipate more except by boosting sales for a higher guarantee. Such a shame with the great food and beautiful decor. As we walked out the bartenders were very friendly, big smiles and thanked us. I would almost go back to see if there is bar seating. They were exceptional.

We came for a friends birthday gathering. The vibe here is incredible, and even though we had to wait quite a while for things to come out, the staff was really attentive checking in with us. Heads up, the portions are pretty small for most items, so youll want to order more than you think. It also means youll probably spend more than you think, just looking at the menu. Overall good and would come again!

The poster child of overhyped LA dining. Completely uninspired plates, small portions, and absentminded service staff. Ill allow one or two of these things due to issues surrounding the pandemic but not all three. We strongly considered leaving after the appetizers because we could see the writing on the wall but decided to stick it out to see if it got better. It didnt. Total bill for our party of 6 came out to around $500 if memory serves. This takes the cake for my most disappointing meal of 2021.

The food and drinks were good, but not as good as I was hoping for and a bit inconsistent in quality. The ceviches are probably the best, but Ive had better elsewhere and for lower prices. The service was mostly good as well, though the hostesses were snarky and gossiping and some of the staff bringing out the food were rude, dismissive, and totally uninterested. Perhaps its because a 20% tip is automatically added to the bill so theres no need to offer quality service.

I strongly recommend.

We ordered the paella and the prawns were raw. Not just one, all of them were raw. We told our waiter and he took the dish and we waited for another paella. When the second one came, the prawns were cooked but the dish was super salty. The flavors were tasty, but overpowered with salt. Not what youd expect at $38 for the small portion. When the bill came the waiter didnt even offer a complimentary dessert or drink or let me take this off your bill. Nothing! Maybe because 20% gratuity is included so customer service isnt a top priority. My enthusiasm to try this restaurant was high, but I wont go back there again.

This is the best ceviche Ive had outside of Peru. As an added bonus the restaurant interior is a beautiful mashup of indoor and outdoor space thats perfect for date night, and the cocktails are creative and expertly crafted.One downside was that two of our entrees (lomo saltado and diver scallops) were so over salted that it was borderline inedible. Even worse is that other than that they were very well prepared and looked great. However the kampachi and tiradito ceviches were so good that I cant knock even a star off.All said and done it was a fantastic dinner, Id recommend going there for the ceviche and cocktails (maybe even double up on the ceviches and skip the entrees).

Before you read this, understand that I am not new to Peruvian food. I am from Queens, NY and eat Peruvian food multiple times per month.(+)-Great service-Tip included-Good vibe-Nice drinks(-)-Too much Cumin. Drowned out flavor of chicken and other dishes making them extremely spicy and overpowering-Too much lemon/salt on Ceviche. You will be reaching for your water.-Presentation. A couple dishes we ordered had the food buried under other ingredients in which I felt I was digging through.

Delicious ceviche (4 stars). Made the mistake of getting the lomo saltado and asked the server if it came with rice and I was told “this is West Hollywood, this isn’t Peruvian it’s Peruvian inspired.” All this to say if you’re craving Peruvian this isn’t the spot to come to. For appetizers, drinks and ambiance I’d consider it.

I was seated at the Chefs table and waited 50 minutes for an appetizer. Then my main meal arrived when I was still eating the appetizer. I do not know why it took so long for my food to arrive when I could see everyone elses dinner being prepared as I was sitting at the Chefs table. They tried to make up an excuse and say they were short staff. Horrible experience. They did not charge for the appetizer. I will never return and probably would have walked out if I had not taken a twenty dollar uber ride. Also, food was just okay on top of the wait.

Absolutely unforgettable food. Probably one of the top-50 single meals I have ever had in nearly twenty years of continuous travel around the globe, during which time I have been a devoted foodie and visited nearly half of all Michelin 3-star restaurants among countless others. Phenomenal demonstration of technique in the kitchen, creativity and refined yet unique style. Would recommend to anyone looking for an exciting food destination in LA, of which there are few that compare. Perhaps the best meal I have ever had in Los Angeles area.The front of the house didnt quite live up to the kitchen, however, and that would be my only complaint. I waited 10 minutes at the ceviche bar before grabbing my own menu and flagging down a waitress. Once I got their attention, however, service was strait forward, timely and friendly.

My wife and I loved the atmosphere because it was beautiful and vibrant decor-wise and the salsa music and giant crowd was fun but not too intrusive. Still felt intimate. I think I can say the service was impressive. We liked our waiter. The second I noticed our table was wobbling, without me saying a thing, he noticed and fixed it so I was impressed there. But the food was the main thing for us. The cocktails were incredible (try the bellicose warrior). We got the Kampachi Ceviche, the Quita Calzon, and the Causa Jar (probably our favorite thing and the most unique) for small plates. For large plates, we went with the Lomo Saltado and the Paella which had the best shrimp wed ever tasted. Just know that your food comes when ready and they warn you, but in a way it made it feel like a multi-course experience. And then theres the 20% service fee for healthcare that you see more nowadays. They apparently refuse tips in replacement of that. Maybe you tip 20% anyway so youre not worried. All in all, it was a memorable experience and I hope they stick around. I dont agree with many of the negative reviews here but if theres any that they might improve upon, I hope they do. Its a cut-throat restaurant area there and I want my Paella!

I was so excited to eat at Rosaline but unfortunately i tested positive for Covid and couldnt make it. I did the responsible thing and called to cancel my reservation ahead of time. When I called I was told I would be charged $100 if I didnt come in. I understand policy is policy but when I am sick with Covid the last thing anyone wants is to spread the infection. I tried to problem solve and ask if I could at least use the fee in the form of a gift card or anything. The lady on the phone said no and that I knew what I was getting into when I made the reservation so my options are either come in or get charged $100. Wow are you really willing to expose your staff and other patrons like this? Knowing that I have Covid. Ive been here several times before but will never come again. I will be telling all friends and family about this poor experience. Shame on this restaurant and shame on the lady working the phones 2/14/22.

Wow...great food. Last minute, decided to drop by without reservation after work on a Friday night. Got in at 8:30, but no table was available until 10. But somehow they managed to squeeze us in after just 15 min! Awesome Cevicheo. Beet salad was really really good. Desert is also amazing. Must try new place.

We went to Rosaline for dinner. The restaurant is large, nicely designed and offers a unique take on Peruvian food. The food was very tasty, original and plated super nice. The causa dish was really good (though not traditional) and the olives were really nice as well. The cocktails are original too and altogether we had a great experience.

Visited for my girlfriends birthday. We managed to get seats at the chefs counter... Dinner and a show!We ordered several small dishes, including two ceviches. They were delicious but were super spicy (and no warning on the menu) so ask your server if thats a concern for you.For our main, we got the paella, which was just the way I like it... Bits of crispy fried rice throughout, tasty bits of pancetta, and some wonderful smoked tomatoes.They have a small number of craft cocktails... The pisco sour was good but not mind blowing. The mezcal drinks were tastier.Dessert was good (we got the Peruvian milk cake) but I honestly think we should have just ordered a third ceviche, they are that good.

Food is good, but the service is terrible. We made a reservation for 9:30, and once we got there, they told us last call for food and drinks was in 15 mins. They didnt even bring us water. We were rushed the entire time and they even brought us out our dessert 10 mins after our entree arrived. They brought us our check and made us pay while we were still eating. Overall felt very rushed and didnt appreciate the service, especially since our bill was $400+, you would think they would try to make it a good experience... I probably would not return here. When we received our bill, we realized they automatically add 20% gratuity, which explains why the waitress didnt care to try and make our experience better, because she knew her tip was already included.

We didnt even eat here because of how rude the reservationists was. When I told her that she was being disrespectful, she told me to stop talking to her like that. As if that was anything! She then told me that I couldnt talk to the manager and I would have to discuss all matters with her. I only called her because I overheard how she was talking to my cousin but she was even more rude to me! Im truly disgusted by the customer service and all 9 of us will never eat here.

After a few missteps upon arrival, they really stepped up in their attentiveness and customer service. All dishes were served in a timely manner, exceptionally presented very well prepared. After a short exchange on drinking preference, the sommelier recomended a few wines which hit all marks...Great flavors! Great ambiance! Great service!

My guy and I had dinner at Rosalines for the first time Saturday, January 20, 2018. It will definitely not be the last time. The Ceviche, recommended by our server, Isabelle, was fantastic as was the Branzino for two. It was a very busy night and quite a noisy and enthusiastic crowd so our drinks and meal were somewhat slow in reaching us and conversation was a challenge at times. However, our server, was ever gracious, brought us each an excellent glass of wine on the house and never once made us feel as if we should feel rushed or that our table may be needed. It felt a bit as if we were guests in her own home. We struck up a conversation with the people at the table next to us who were having a similarly wonderful experience. I highly recommend Rosaline and Isabelle in particular! Thank you for a memorable evening.

Fun vibe and a sexy spot to be in West Hollywood for dinner.The food was OK, but not great. We had the prawns (which were impossible to get out of their shells) and the lomo saltodo (really beer tips in a brown sauce - not a full steak)Some dishes that walked by looked better, and the ceviche we ordered was tasty.Glad we visited, won’t be going back.

Food was okay, one item too spicy for 2 of us. Not a lot different than the other Peruvian places this owner had in LA in the past. Confusion when we arrived, we, party of 4, were placed in a cruddy outdoor area with room for 8. They felt we had requested it, but Ive not been there before, had no idea what they were talking about. Dont let them seat you there.Ceviche was not good, highly acidic, no balance, nothing like ceviche in Lima, Peru.

Inconsistent dishes. Nothing was outright bad but some dishes had better value than others+Chaufa paellas are great.+costilla beef short rib is flavorful but can be shriveled/burned in certain places. Not amazing QPR but still delicious+bread is delicious but some may not appreciate QPR+I really enjoyed the branzino would order again-skip the -arroz con pollo. It tastes ok but-beets were forgettable.

Restaurant was on point and when I went, I forgot how much I missed Ricardo Zartes food. From the great food to the excellent service, you really need to go out of your way to have a bad time at the Rosaline. Next time, Im just going to post up at the bar and do some serious people watching. Its somewhat pricey, but for the quality of the seafood in the ceviche, it is well worth it. One of my new favorite spots in West Hollywood.

They do not respect their closing hours, so they do no respect costumers, if you’re gonna close earlier you should CHANGE your schedule period. The costumer time matters as well. We’re not from LA we’re NOT going to comeback, the hostess very rude as well.

We wanted to like this place and first impressions were positive. Our reservation for two was honored and we got seated promptly by a cheerful hostess. The decor was nice and the decibels were vibrant on a Thursday night but not overwhelming. Someone here mentioned ambition and the place is surely ambitious and the cocktail list and menu oozes ambition. When there is a gulf between ambition and execution, frustration sets in. The ceviche materialized promptly but drinks didnt. So that ceviche featured fried calamari rings in addition to raw fish and a wincingly sour dressing. The real letdown was the seafood rice which was mushy and bland. It looked and tasted limp and wasnt saved by some uni on top of the lifeless pile. Their variation on tres leches was sweet and moist but oddly unsatisfying. Its a good metaphor for a place that tries to please but doesnt quite get it.

A “modern take on Peruvian” food should be “how to get taken on Peruvian” food. No doubt, most of what we had was good - not great, but certainly not Peruvian and all ridiculously overpriced. $250 for 5 people with 4 appetizers and 1 meal - the overrated “paella”. If you want Peruvian, there are lots of better choices, if you like paying to be seen, then this is the spot.

Took my wife here for her birthday, and I would not recommend this place for dinner for the following specific reasons:1. Per policy, manager said, Its normal to wait ~25 minutes with reservations2. Despite including birthday remarks in my reservations and notifying the hostess, the waitress never acknowledged my wifes birthday (i.e. with a small dessert). Per the manager, its our policy only to provide a candle, if you order a dessert3. Since a 20% service charge is applied to check, I found the waitress and other staff always in a rush, and not caring about your experience4. When we were finished with dinner, the hostess came to our table and took our table candle away for another table. Unthinkable etiquette!5. The family portions (for two) are very small. Dont order the short ribs, most of the meal is bones without meat. Food came out fast as its pre-cooked and luke warm.

Lomo saltado with no rice that doesn’t taste like lokonsaltado. 2 stars for ceviche because it was good. But still toooooooo small. Way to expensive for the flavor of the food. Chef needs to be changed... I had millions of lomo saltado and never tasted anything like this. If you come here and you think it’s good, you are obviously not Peruvian. I am, and I know my food. Ohhh and the 20% was already included lollll

Ambience was cool but a little loud. Sat by the open window in front. Cocktails were excellent; persimmon chicha and pisco sour. The pan andino and solterito salad had enough interesting flavors and freshness but not enough to sing. The stars were the chaufa paella and kampachi ceviche. Chaufa paella was rich and full of flavor. The fresh herbs thrown on top took the dish to a new level. The kampachi ceviche acidity was perfectly balanced with the AmberJack sweet, subtle flavor. We would definitely go back. Next time we would try the causa jar (eggplant terrine).

Oh my God, the food here is amazing. The Lomo Saltado is probably the best preparation of beef that Ive ever had. Theyre Paella Chaufa is also to die for but not as good as the beef. They have a great selection of craft cocktails, geared toward Peruvian liquor and tastes. The rest of the menu is equally delicious but stand out for the Lomo. Weve been here three or four times and realize we always have to get the Lomo. You wont be disappointed.

Everything on the menu has full flavor.. except dessert could get an upgrade to match. Couldnt give the full 5 stars because the price keeps going up and the serving size keeps shrinking. Oh, LA.

Modern architectural style with excellent lighting, latin music and a modest bar.A beautiful glass covered patio with hanging plants in the middle of it brings in light to the rest of the seating area around, and creates a very unique atmosphere.We ordered different dishes, and they were delicious, but if I have to choose again (dinner for two) Id start off with chicharron de paiche, and then a lomo saltado, and juanes de chancho. You cant go wrong with that. A humble suggestion from another Peruvian.
