    Our server, Jovan was wonderful as always. He is a complete asset to the company. He cares about the service that he gives you. I always enjoy the ambience and when the weather permits sitting outside, it’s always and enjoyable time.

    They had a prefix menu with great options, the rotisserie chicken was my personal favorite. Our waitress Ariel was amazing, she honestly made the dining experience worth while. The two host’s in the front were quite rude, upon arrival just gave dirty looks to me and my table, did not greet us at all until I spoke up and said something first. It was 108 degrees that day and I specifically requested outside seating for the view, I then inquired if under their shading area had any fans or if it still felt hot, she then rolled her eyes and said “it’s as is”. Super disappointing to be greeted with an attitude like this for no particular reason, but overall food was good & Ariel was very sweet and attentive. Would suggest for management to consider speaking with their hosts.

    Elena was our server and she went above and beyond. She was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive (along with the other staff), and even offered to take our picture against the sunset/water. The restaurant is on the water, and any seat outside lends itself to a gorgeous view. Food was amazing, we had the NY strip and mushroom pasta which was cooked exactly as requested. They had an incredible price fixe menu deal as well, which we took advantage of, and included an app, main and dessert. The creme brulee was out of this world. Would definitely recommend if you’d like a nice dinner on the water with great food and amazing service.

    Brunch menu was very limited. They don’t even offer any starters. The place is in need of a makeover. It’s dated and stuck in time. The food was mediocre at best. I would not return.

    My husband wanted roasted chicken and I saw Rockwood had it on their menu. He was very happy with his meal. I had the barramundi and it was delicious! Our server was very nice and attentive. (I have also had the avocado toast there for breakfast and it is the best!)
