    We had an early dinner and so it was quiet inside as most others were outside on the patio. Choices were excellent and the service outstanding.

    We absolutely loved the food at rocks 21! What stood out the most were the crab cakes and the garlic wine mussels. They were amazing! Service was good. Ambiance was okay (I think we got unlucky because there was a screaming baby in both of the dining rooms). But besides that, our experience was great! Will definitely return.

    It was so loud at 6:15 pm that we could barely hear each other across the table due to the band downstairs. Had we known, we would not have booked the reservation here as my husband has difficulty hearing. Also, a table in the bar area is not what I planned on with a reservation, I wish we could have been seated in the dining room as we expected.

    Service was good, although we had to ask for drinks. Food was disappointing, scallops over cooked, dry and rubbery and risotto was sticky. We have dined here serial times and this was poor at best.

    Really great. Welcoming for kids: they seemed genuinely happy to have our 3 year old in the party. They immediately brought crayons and a kids menu. Meanwhile, the adult menu was fantastic. Really creative appetizers and mains that did not skimp on protein. I got the halibut and my rice had 5 XL shrimp in it + mussels. It is rare for me to not finish a plate and I barely could. Whole family was happy. Great dinner with the family. We will be back.
