Rockafeller's Restaurant

Fantastic! Nothing but rave reviews for Rockefeller! I stopped in with a friend of mine. When we arrived my car was parked by kind valet staff. Once inside we were seated instantly (reservation) by a window. It was nice to look out while the sun was still out. So A+ for the view. The she crab soup was creamy and packed lots of crab in the cup. It had great flavor, and was nice and hot! My friend enjoyed her salmon.The flavors really complimented eachother. My fish was moist and flaky. I cannot remember what it was called, but it was perfect. The desserts also hit the spot. We opted for the carrot cake and mousse. We just had to. It was worth it. The mousse had a great strong chocolate flavor, but the cream broke that up. I highly recommend adding this restaurant to your list of places to eat at.

Was in the area with a friend and wanted to try a new place... Rockafeller's on Rudee Inlet did not disappoint!The vibe was somewhere in between casual and upscale. Think valet parking, fresh flowers on the table and a view of the water mixed with a diverse blend of diners of all ages wearing everything from jeans and shorts to dresses and sports jackets. We called ahead for reservations and were seated immediately at a small table by a window overlooking the boat slips. The service was excellent, the server was able to make recommendations and the food came out relatively fast for a Saturday night. We both ordered one of the nightly fish specials, both were good and nicely plated. A special mention goes out to the award winning she crab soup and the brussel sprouts served with the salmon, some of the best I've had. Also worth mentioning is the fact that that they do serve from the lunch menu in the evenings so if you just want a fish sandwich or a burger they can accommodate. I love a crab cake sandwich or a lobster roll and if you enjoy oysters, I watched platter after platter rolling out of the kitchen; they must be quite good! With so many options on the menu, I'll definitely head back another night to try some of the other selections, overall it was an outstanding experience.

Wonderful place Superb food and great service You will missing a great lace if you don't try it It's ambiance place for romantic time or Family /friends time Try their special frozen drink too You won't regret it

We stopped in for brunch right at opening earlier today and had a great time. The restaurant is beautiful with very nice decor and is right on Rudee inlet with gorgeous water views and lots of boating/boarding activity to watch while you dine. Nearly every table has a view to the water even if you aren't seated at a window directly. We arrived right at 11am on Sunday when they open and there was plenty of seating all around. Sophia, our waitress, was a doll and took excellent care of us although she had about 5 other tables. Very good service. Their brunch menu had all the standard fare you could want like French toast and eggs Benedict as well as some seafood inspired omelets and other items. We tried their fresh shrimp hush puppies which were delicious. We ordered a range of items from their brunch menu:-Oysters Rockefeller -Shrimp hush puppies - served with a pimento dip-French toast-breakfast burrito-classic eggs benedict-Shadowlawn Breakfast - eggs, protein, potatoes and biscuit-Cobb saladAll of them were pretty good. The hush puppies were spectacular - really fresh and hot and delicious - you could tell they are made to order. The oysters were also great. Aside from that, nothing too spectacular in the main entrees, but everyone enjoyed theirs. The eggs benedict, hush puppies and oysters were probably the stars of the meal. They have a second floor with more seating and a wrap around patio with outdoor tables but we didn't see it - much too hot today. Another time!

I've wanted to try Rockafeller's Restaurant for quite a while so when I noticed they were hosting a Mother's Day Brunch, I mentioned it to my daughter and she made reservations for us. As soon as we arrived, the Valet Assistant parked our car and was very friendly. Unless you don't mind parking on the street, valet parking is required. Thankfully, we were able to be seated fairly quickly as soon as we walked in. The menu was specifically created for the Brunch, which I loved and it included a little of everything. The 'You Are Appreciated!' drink looked appealing. It included Malibu Rum, Passionfruit, Pineapple and Champagne and was hands down, one of the best drinks I've ever had!!!! I decided on the She Crab Soup along with the Rock's Seafood Omelette with Brunch Potatoes. The soup was outstanding and included a generous amount of crab! I would return just for the soup alone, it was divine!!! The seafood omelette was pretty good as well. Since we wanted to finish with something sweet, we decided on the Jamaican Rum Cake and boy did we taste the rum. The cake was very moist and had great flavor but if it had a bit less rum, it would have been perfect! Overall, we had a wonderful time at Brunch. Rockefeller's Restaurant has beautiful decor and is perfect for date night, girl's night or just dining in for great food. Our waitress was very nice and I will definitely be returning soon to try their items from the normal menu.

I've been to Rockafeller's several times, most recently this past weekend for a birthday brunch celebration. The service is consistently excellent, which is a big draw for me, and there are menu items I'd come back to try for myself.We made reservations for this past Sunday at 12. When we arrived, there appeared to be plenty of tables available, but it did pick up closer to our departure. The restaurant is quite spacious, clean and welcoming. There was a sign out front indicating a shower was hosted recently, so it appears they have options for private parties.The parking lot, like other nearby restaurants on Rudee Inlet, is small. We usually have little trouble finding side-street parking a block or two away. I suspect that during peak season, parking would be more of a challenge!Both host and server greeted us right away away. Our server was incredibly engaging, attentive and kind during our visit. We had a few special requests for our little one and he accommodated them all - even gifted us extra "leftovers" to go. I wish I recalled his name to give him some kudos!They have great drink specials for brunch - $3.99 mimosas, screwdrivers and bloody mary's. I've heard the happy hour specials are quite good as well. For entrees, several of us had the seafood omelet, mine was with egg whites and no hollandaise. Family also tried the cornflake-crusted french toast and breakfast tacos. The tacos were knife-and-fork variety (as in way too big to eat like a regular taco). The french toast got good reviews. The crunchy crust was a good contrast to the soft interior. My omelet is one thing I probably wouldn't order again. It was a bit greasy and the seafood was overcooked, leaving the shrimp and scallops tough. The accompanying potatoes had good flavor. Overall, this visit, and others before, have been pretty good. I'll certainly return for the service, ambiance and to try something new!

Saturday night was the first time I have been to Rockafeller's since BC (before Covid). Boy, has it changed!!Sitting in a picturesque location at Rudee's Inlet with a view of the docked boats adjacent, the restaurant is at the end of Mediterranean near the intersection with Winston Salem. If coming from the east continue on I-264 after it becomes a surface street. Then turn south on Mediterranean. Easy peasy! From the Resort Strip proceed south until it ends & make a right turn on Winston Salem, then a short right on Mediterranean. I've been frequenting Rockafeller's for decades and always perceived its decor & menu to be touristy. This time was much different. The long walkway to the entrance has always been very handicap accessible. But it was so beautiful last weekend, covered with a trellis which was strung with beautiful lighting. It felt like walking into a fairy tale.Stepping inside it was impressive to see a new large waiting area with a comfy living room style. The furniture & prints were very well done. The only problem I had was that its open floor plan area required a step up. That's asking for falls. The restaurant decor & seating has also has been upgraded nicely.Nothing has improved as much as the menu, which previously seemed to be stereotypical tourist oriented fare. it now has awesome choices, prepared & presented to please even the most discerning palate.My son & I began with a dozen Oysters on the Half Shell. I sent my thanks to the staff who shucked the oysters. Each was completely separated from the shell, requiring no digging with the oyster fork to release it completely from the shell. It has been a long time since I've dined at a restaurant that served perfectly shucked oysters. The Virginia Oysters served were tasty & fresh.My cocktail was the Kentucky Splash, which is called a Bourbon Splash at some restaurants. The cocktail was also perfection. The small ice cubes worked much better than the crushed ice used at most restaurants.For an entree I chose the Char-Crust Mahi served with Sautéed Spinach, Cilantro Lime Rice & Balsamic Tomato Salad. It was yummy. I couldn't have been happier with my choice.My son ordered the Salmon Provençal with Capallini Pasta, Roasted Tomato, Black Olives, Sautéed Spinach & Herbes de Provence with a Lemon Beurre Blanc sauce. He splurged on calories by enjoying a very large slice of Chocolate Eclair Pie. I had only two bites of it. I promise! Much to my surprise, since I don't normally like Eclairs, it was awesome.Our server was friendly & attentive. She made no attempt to rush our dining experience.Since I don't see well to drive at night & my son has returned home, I am very tempted to take a ride share & visit Rockefeller's again very soon. The restaurant is well deserving of a 5 Star review in every category.

The food was AWESOME, the ambiance is beautiful and the service was super amazing! It was a very peaceful environment and the perfect place for my boyfriend and I to enjoy the evening with each other. Highly recommend!

Having friends in from New England, we decided to try Rockefeller's. We were quite pleased. We were seated as soon as we arrived and our server was right there with water and menus, as well as specials. She was exceptional all night. The food was great! And the views from our table were perfect for a summer night.

Food was great and have no complaints except no raw oysters when we were there. Bathrooms and restaurant was pretty clean.Service was pretty good and kudos to the valet as they noticed we got up to leave and had the cars running and ready for us outside.
