I haven't been to Rocks for quite some time, so was looking forward to the night. We opted for the $65 pp, and we were all disappointed. It was very meat heavy, not balanced enough with salad or veg (in hindsight we should have ordered sides). Certainly a spread of scallops, calamari, beef brisket (least favourite), pork belly (mostly fat) and then two plates of salmon (we barely touched one plate) on a cabbage type salad which we also didn't eat very much of. There were corn fritters earlier as well which were enjoyed. The "taster" of dessert was barely that, a slice of something being the size of a quarter slice of bread between 2 people. Re service, the young staff were friendly, however when we were wishing to order another drink, the man who I think was head waiter just stood and looked at me whilst I was trying to attract his attention. Maybe it wasn't his job to come over, and after he didn't seem interested, I caught the eye of a young man who came over promptly (the restaurant wasn't full) and helped us out. I rarely write reviews, and I appreciate not all venues can be 10/10 every time, but I won't be heading back to Rocks in the near future, nor would recommend at this time. There are many other venues in Bendigo that are excellent to choose from.

We ordered the streets menu. The selections were fine and very much what we were happy to eat but the way they were served at the table made zero sense. We were served the roast pumpkin with nothing else so as your eating it your not enjoying it with any other food we had in our selection. The next lot of dishes that came out was a bowl of rice and a plate of beans (far to spicy, and were not made aware of this on the menu). We ate some of the beans but left the rice as we assumed that would be eaten with the Thai green curry that was also on the menu. The curry come out 35 minutes later. So our rice was left untouched. My chicken had a piece of steel wool in it, looked like a bit of bristle off a cleaning brush. The waitress we told asked us if we wanted to inform the chef, rather then apologising and telling us she would inform them. 2 dishes were placed in front of us, to then be quickly removed and taken to the table next to us. They appeared to be having the same issues with the waiting staff as there food was removed several times and then brought back a different plate. We had to ask several times for a glass of water and to see the drinks menu. Our plates sat in front of us for 20 Minutes before we decided to get up and leave. We would've loved dessert but the lack of service left us bored and wanting to go home. Overall a very disappointing evening for somewhere that I've been to in the past and has been quite tasty. Not sure if the Asian inspired food is up to scratch for such a fancy restaurant

20th Wedding anniversary dinner.....arrived at 7pm....chose the 'Feed Me' option advised we'd like to match wines to the courses and excitedly ordered cocktails.... we were only a few sips in our cocktails and the first dish arrived. Phew....would have liked some time to sit and chat and to have a wine with the dish. We asked that the next course be delayed....maybe 10 mins later the next one arrived.....still no wine and still just finishing the cocktail and 1st course....Asked again for the kitchen to slow up a bit......Alas, the next dish appeared about 10 later, closely followed by the next 2 !!!!!!......we had 3 bloody meals on the table, there wasn't a spare inch.....we shifted 2 of them to the next empty table.....we'd already asked 3 times for the meals to be slowed, but clearly the wait staff had no control over the kitchen.....they were clearly embarrassed by it and must have been powerless to do anything about....they dropped the meals and scurried away as quick as possible each time least we complain gain.....by this time our great night out of celebration is in tatters.....We implored again for a break.....We were full and bloated at having to consume the 5 starters/entrees back to back and got a further shock when getting close to finishing the last of the entrees to be presented with a bowl of fat chips that we were advised were part of the main dish!!!!!.....it duly arrived in another 5 mins by which stage the chips were cold and pretty much inedible....we'd given up on the idea of further complaining as they'd fallen on deaf ears all night.....I can elaborate further if you're interested.....Overall a total disaster. Decided that I would pass on my thoughts on paying the bill as almost without fail, the standard question is...."did you enjoy your night".....however, the Maitre D obviously fearing some negative feedback quickly advised $250 and fleeced my card as quick as a shot and disappeared without question....Incredibly disappointing night !

Unpolished, missing the mark and unappealing menu. Beautiful space but very quiet at peak time on a Saturday night with only 3 tables occupied in the huge space. The staff were trying hard to accommodate but are all very young and come across as inexperienced. Unfortunately the food and ambience doesn’t make the price worth it, wouldn’t recommend.

Took my wife out to lunch and was impressed with the service, and then even more impressed with the food. I enjoyed the playlist and found the atmosphere to be great. The only improvement that could have been made was the air conditioners weren't turned on, and it was a touch warm next to the Windows. However, this is definitely a place we want to come back to.
