    Our server, Evani was amazing!! The service was great, but my Birthday cake wasn’t put into our take home bag. (We were too full to enjoy it) The food was deeeeelicious!! I ordered twin lobster tails (perfect), others ordered Chileon Sea Bass (perfect), lobster rolls, Maine lobster escargo, creamed spinach, wedge salad (perfect) baked potatoes (perfect). Some sides can be shared because they are very generous. The drinks were excellent! Great night and will definitely go back!!

    I have been dining at Roka Akor since it made its debut in Scottsdale many years ago. It has been a complete success story and there are now outposts in other major cities. I have given previous glowing reviews in the past, but I dined with friends last night and was once again reminded just how spectacular the food is. Everything was exquisite, beautifully plated and there wasn’t one scrap of food on anyone’s plate at the end of the meal. We shared several dishes all of which were mouthwatering: the Icelandic salmon with miso glaze, crispy rice with tuna tartare and a tiny kick of Serrano chile, crispy eggplant with Jalapeño honey, and they were all divine. We had an adorable server who looked after us beautifully. I will visit again and again.

    We were celebrating a late Birthday for my daughter and had a fabulous experience sitting in the bar for dinner and drinks. Matthew and his co-bartenders were efficient and patient and engaging and extremely knowledgeable with the drink selections. They made everybody sitting around us feel welcomed. We had such a lovely evening and enjoyed ourselves very much. The food was outstanding. Can't wait to go back again. Thank you for making our evening so special.
