Menus
Thank you for visiting the Historic Rosebud!
In accordance with Somerville & CDC Guidelines, masks are required for all staff and guests while not seated at their table or the bar.
Like many local restaurants, Rosebud has implemented a 5% Kitchen Appreciation Fee to directly benefit our Back of House employees this COVID season. This service charge is not taxed and is directly distributed to our kitchen staff, enabling us to ensure a living wage in uncertain times.
Thank you for your understanding and support. We couldn't do it without you.
