Rockefeller’s is a hidden gem in Oak Lawn. This was my second and my husband’s first time dining at Rockefeller’s. Our dining experience was excellent! Our servers Ken and Michelle were fantastic! The food was delicious as were our drinks. We are planning to return later this week to celebrate my husband’s birthday.

Me and my boyfriend had dinner & drinks for his bday. The vibe was energetic LadyRed was the DJ for karaoke . He had the NY steak that was seasoned well the Ribeye was not available which is his favorite cut but it was good. I had crab cakes that were decent, brussel sprouts that were overdone. The waitress was nice enough to give me my mac&cheese no charge cause I ordered but wasnt brought out. The drinks are decent not worth $16 each. overall food is overpriced. your basically paying for the atmosphere& entertainment. I would only return to sit at bar & listen to live music.
