    The service was excellent from the hostess to our lovely and experienced server, Elena. She was wonderful! The wedge salad was very good and plenty enough to split. The salmon entree was delicious. We will return!

    Love their holiday buffet. Have been going for years, one of the very best. We usually take a boat from the lobby of the hotel over to the restaurant, but this time you had to have a reservation for the boat. Very disappointed ☹️

    At over $500 for 3 adults it was overpriced in my opinion for the food, and service. Our server was great but spread too thin and he could not provide us with adequate service. There was strong fish smell in the dining area, our table was in two small pathways so we were crowded and bumped into through out our meal, the food quality and limited options compared to prior brunches we’ve enjoyed at Rockwood were disappointing. After several years of holiday brunches at Rockwood we are looking for a new spot for our next one.
