    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.

    We had a wonderful experience celebrating my husband’s 50th birthday. Everything was beautiful with excellent customer service. Our waitress was very professional and friendly. We will be back.

    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!)

    A bit pricey for what you get. Past experiences at this restaurant were more special (ambiance, food, server, etc.), so it’s possible we caught them on a bad night. Still…pricey.

    We had the pre fixe menu which came with salad, main entry, and a dessert. Great value and the food was very tasty and well prepared. Salmon had perfectly crisped skin and tender meat. Would definitely go back!

    It was fantastic. There is a buffet that has all you can eat crab legs and shrimp. Need I say more?!
