About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Lively
Great for creative cocktails

Anchoring the renaissance of Rockefeller Center is Le Rock, a thoughtful revamp of a historic Art Deco space from James Beard Award-winning chefs Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr. From the team behind some of Manhattan’s best restaurants (including Frenchette and Le Veau d'Or) comes an updated take on a grand brasserie in a iconic space, hailed by The New York Times in a Critic’s Pick three star review as “truly exciting”. Though focused on French cuisine, the location is iconic New York - Le Rock is located on 50th St between Fifth and Sixth Avenues adjacent to the Theater District, as well as MoMA and Radio City Music Hall. Open six days a week (closed Sunday), weekdays with continuous service from lunch until 9 pm.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: From the same restaurant family as beloved bistro Frenchette, Le Rock jazzed up Rockefeller Center when it moved into the ground floor in 2022. Expect the same impeccable service, but true to the iconic skyscraper’s Art Deco style, even more over-the-top glamour in the design details. This is the scene for soignée seafood towers, saucy bison au poivre, and showstopping tarte tatin. No wonder Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr have been named James Beard Semifinalists for Outstanding Restaurateur.

It took over 30 minutes to get our two salads. Our server was not really engaged. Not a great way to spend a business lunch.

Reserved in Bar Room but was seated in dining; no dedicated server led to confusion and inconsistent service and a desert of attention by the end of the night

Was there for business lunch. Food was terrific. Recommend the duck confit, the smoked salmon and one of our table recommends the cheeseburger with marrow.

Our family group had a wonderful dinner at Le Rock. The drinks were inventive, the food delicious and the service excellent. Five of us shared a large piece of rib eye that was very flavorful. The king crab appetizer was my favorite and the leeks vinegarette was a surprise success. It is hard to please a group ranging in age from 10 to 83 but Le Rock rocked the challenge. We all had a great time.

I don’t usually write reviews but had to for this place! As a Native New Yorker, this place was outstanding. The Host Nicholas was so kind, the food was delicate (perfect for pre-theater,) the bar is beautiful and chic. Highly rec!
