Rosie McCann's - Santana Row

Casual dining in an elegant atmosphere. Try one of our traditional Irish pub favorites such as Shepherd's Pie, Bangers and Mash, or Fish & Chips. Or you may opt for a tender Angus Filet or New York Steak or our Grilled Wild Salmon over garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach in a jalapeno Aioli. Or drop in for lunch and enjoy a 1/2 pound Rosie Burger and a pint of Guinness. Great food and Fantastic signature cocktails all served with a generous helping of Irish hospitality. Voted Best New Restaurant in the 2004 Wave Magazine Readers Choice Awards. Three Stars from Shelia Himmell of the San Jose Mercury News.

"I had a great meal the only thing I would change is more attention by the servers when it comes to drinks. We had to ask for water a couple of times."

"Had dinner on the patio on a Tuesday night. Weather was cool, but there are outdoor heaters if needed. Steak was great, drinks were strong, service was consistent and kind. Karaoke night inside the bar, which was hoppin'. Love this place for brunch on weekends, where you can actually have a conversation inside or outside. For dinner most nights, the inside bar/dining room are less conducive to intimate conversation, but it's a great fun atmosphere for a night on the town. I've never had a bad meal here!"

"Sunday evening. Went there to get dinner and to watch the end of the game.
Was a little disappointed they were out of the filet, ordered the prime rib.
The Prime Rib Was excellent. :) Very tasty and cooked as I like.
Drinks were good as well.
Will be back."

"We are both Irish food fans and thought Rosie's fit the bill. We had Shepherd's pie (beef, not lamb) and the Reuben sandwich - both were very good. We like the menu and would come back again when in town to try other dishes and maybe stay late enough to listen to the music and dance. It was noisy but then it's an Irish pub and to be expected. Our server was very personable and took good care of us."

"The food here is so tasty but keep in mind it's more of a pub atmosphere so if you don't mind the noise it's fine. The lamb stew was tasty, well spiced and plenty. Others in my party had the fish and chips which was crispy and well done. Some of the tables are pretty close together so sometimes the wait staff bump into your chairs. Keep in mind service is more relaxed on saturday nights."

"The place to be on St. Patrick's Day! It was crowded, noisy. Lamb stew was good, salads good, and we liked
the bacon wrapped shrimp and wings.

"The service was soo slow it took more than hour to get our food and when the food did come they had forgotten mine so I had to wait even longer. They were very unorganized te waitress hardly checked on us. We would not have even given her a tip because she was so bad but unforrunatelu we had a large party so the tip was already in ludes. When we complained to her she told us that the kitchen was backed up. They should have planned for a large number of people because that was the official after party of the race. You would expect them to be faster considering they had a fixed brunch menu and were serving ppl who had just run 5 miles. We had reservations and were also one of the first groups to be seated. It was awful!!!"
