    Amazing food as usual! The sautéed chicken is so delicious and my husband’s veal dish was wonderful as well. This is an incredible restaurant that has stood the test of time. Can’t wait to go back!

    An Outstanding Meal Okay so the decor at Rockefeller’s is in serious need of an upgrade—in fact a complete makeover—but there is no denying that the food there is outstanding. The char on our perfectly prepared medium rare 16oz ($60!!!) steaks was amazing! The Lobster Bisque was devine and the Oysters Rockefeller THE BEST you’ll find anywhere. The service from Adam was equally amazing. While rather expensive for an Oak Lawn, IL restaurant, and a bit off the beaten path, I give Rockefeller’s FIVE STARS!
