Editorial Review for Rossi's Steakhouse – by Donna Tabbert Long

In Short
Rossi's has the look of the quintessential men's club. Located downstairs in the Metro Building, the high-class digs include a huge fireplace and plush booths; dark-wood paneling; tasteful paintings; and heavy linens and flattering lamplight. Corporate types abound, but that doesn't dim the romance factor. All steaks, including porterhouse and bone-in sirloin, are cooked to perfection. Seafood and chicken round out the menu. Sides are standard steakhouse fare, from steamed asparagus to crispy hash browns.

User Reviews for Rossi's Steakhouse

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

They have good appetizers and food, but the Happy Hour staff is the worst of all in Minneapolis. I've gone there a couple of times because of co-workers, but would never pick to go there. We were yelled at by one server once, they REFUSE to split bills, and mixed up our order 3 times wrong in one night. Wow. pathetic for an establishment that makes their wait staff dress in all white Chef's uniforms and aprons. The food is well priced and tastes good though, but don't tip for the service!

We had a group of co-workers to Rossi's and made a reservation days in advance. Not everyone showed up at the exact same time but within a matter of half an hour everyone was there. I spent that entire time arguing with Jay the manager, because he kept trying to give our table away. He is arrogant, mean and his entire staff hates his guts as much as his customers do. Terrible customer service and management skills. I will not return because of him alone. Our waiter was miserable having to work for Jay but he was attentive and nice. The ambiance and food were good though but totally not worth the hassle, if I owned Rossi's I would be embarassed to have someone like that interacting with my customers. Dont order the fried mozzerella, its a slab of fried cheese, not mozzerella sticks, weird.

Pros: good drink specials, ambiance, food

Cons: horrible management, it ruined the evening, terrible for a group
