    Service was dreadful, food was marginal at best. Overpriced lukewarm food served by untrained wait staff. Whatever happened to the old Rookwood? I will never go there again, so disappointing for such a potentially special evening!

    I usually love eating here, but this time was not as enjoyable. They put us at a table that people must've just moved from, there were waters at the table already with straws in the glass. There were no napkins of silverware and the waitress was tough to reach throughout the evening. It felt like we were bothering her and we thought about leaving early a couple times. The table was wedged up against a pole and the music was horrible pop music making for an uncomfortable experience. Like I said, I usually love coming to this place, but this experience really shook things up. Not worth the price tag, at all.

    I did not like the music choice. Every song that came on was one I disliked. Please don't play covers of Staying Alive or anything by Grimes. Thank you.

    This is a very nice casual dining location . The food is always very good Service at times can be a little slow but our server t the was friendly and. Very knowledgeable about the menu and accommodating with our requests. My only criticism is on many occasions, I feel the the hostesses could be a little more friendly

    Our room was an old kiln which is kind of cool...apps of upscale hanky parks, board of charcuterie were yummy. Main dishes included eggplant, past of the day-pasta carbonara, very good steak-ribeye with rosemary fries, and confit chic and dumplings. Dessert s'more topped things nicely. Our server was friendly and attentive so we left him a large Christmas tip-after you see the Christmas Carol...it's what u do:)

    Great Sunday Brunch. My Real Deal Pastrami Sandwich was a treat and so were the the truffle fries. My wife had the Double Bypass from the brunch menu and she also enjoyed her meal. Two thumbs up for the bloody Mary too. We will definitely be back. An excellent location for out-of-town guests. The view of the city and the river from the parking lot is worth the trip.
