They had a lobster appetizer with Madeira cream sauce and we ordered it thinking we would treat ourselves since it was $30. It wasn't worth $5. It had very little lobster, smatterings of cream cheese or sour cream not sure, and home fries covered in brown sauce that tasted nothing like Madeira, in fact it had no taste at all. The pork belly tacos were barely edible. Even the creme brulee the crust was not completely caramelized. I have a feeling no one in this restaurant tastes anything that they're making. If they do they have really bad taste. It was a pretty disappointing birthday experience for my wife and I.

My husband and I dined at Rocks 21 on June 20 because we were looking for a restaurant with a water view. The food was very disappointing. We got shrimp cocktail and bacon wrapped scallops; I had one scallop and it was spoiled as was one of my shrimp (I couldn't eat it). I got clam strips for my entree and they were okay, albeit a bit over cooked. Our server was pleasant, but not very attentive. We won't be going back.

Excellent food from an interesting and varied menu, and great service. The burratta bruschetta was outstanding, as were the small but mighty (with flavor) Narragansett mussels.

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.
