Our group went to Rosedale Cottage because it is a high quality restaurant that welcomes BYO even on weekends. We took high quality wines to match our expectations of great food and were not disappointed. The large off street parking area is another plus. The fine dining tables are in the various rooms of the Cottage. Lovely setting. The food has a strong French flavour - duck, ubiquitous barramundi, chicken, tender beef steaks, wonderful lamb and some vegetarian. You need to add sides to some of the meals. Sauces were very tasty, if a bit salty to my taste. Entres such as crab souffle and the pork were outstanding. Sorbets were great and the bomb Alaska spectacular. The service is very prof...
We've been here more than a few times now and have never been let down by the food or the service. The menu always is just that bit more interesting, and the food is beautifully cooked. We eat out often and have tried every restaurant within twenty kilometres and this one is the best. The fish with celeriac mash, the steak, the lamb rack, all are excellent, and the desserts are exceptional.The rooms in the old cottage are cosy and charming, and the deck area is very pleasant on a nice day. Staff are warm and welcoming and prices are reasonable. BYO is welcome too.If you're in the St Ives shopping centre and looking for a meal that's better than the usual shopping centre fare, cross the road...
The food at Rosedale is, on average, quite good. I had the wild mushroom tart followed by the chicken supreme with chicken tortellini. Plating and food were both quite good. The issue was the service. Due to the layout of the restaurant (many small rooms), we felt invisible and indeed it took ages to even get a menu. At least 20-30 minutes passed before we had anyone come back to take our orders. The entrees themselves arrived after a substantial wait. Then most of the mains for our party arrived expect those for one of our friends. We waited for hers to arrive until our mains were actually cold. After she encouraged us to start eating, we had just finished our mains before hers finally arri...
Last minute decision to come to Rosedale cottage. Been here several times over the years as well as when it was Sous le Soleil. It has been massively improved. The food was really excellent in both presentation and taste. Mushroom tarte with truffled mash was really good as was the crab souffle. Steak and duck main courses were also really excellent. Only slight issue was the deserts - not particularly inspiring but were told the chef was updating the desert menu. Would have loved to see a crepe suzette or tarte tatin. Will definitely be back!

Have been several times so it's time to provide some insights in return. It's being a favourite across the extended family and we have never been let down with everyone leaving with a smile on their face and the yearn to return again. Great food and very professional staff. Overall an above average suburban restaurant. Try the Bomb Alaska you don't see it very often and rarely have I had it but certainly left a lasting experience. Look forward to the next time.
5 couples joined together to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. Chose this restaurant because it was close to home, had private dinning rooms and heard the food was good. We were not disappointed. Scallops, pork neck and roasted duck were very popular. Everything was of a very high standard. A complimentary delicious pumpkin soup was also served being a lovely surprise. The staff were very attentive and the service was excellent.Lesley - Belrose
Excellent food and service. BYO wine which is always a bonus. Parking at the door (it's actually next to a council car park). Wonderful range of French foods but with minimal French sauces which can be quite heavy.Seven of us were in a separate private room of which there are a couple. Added to the intimacy of the family get together.
Went here for a birthday dinner and was VERY pleasantly surprised on how good quality this beautiful French food was. I took a risk and got the snail entree and it was delicious! French cuisine
