    I have been coming to Rocky’s for one reason and that is to get excellent service with some laughs from Mary. The food is not good! Very inconsistent for years now ( since they opened basically) 50/50 it’s a gamble on what you will get so I come because of Mary and before that it was Joe at bar keeps bringing me back, atmosphere is stunning. However the water smells and tastes like sulfur and they charge for bottled water. (Not good). That should be a courtesy. There also are some new people (girls) wait staff who roll eyes and hang by the hostess stand, not sure what is going on with Rocky’s lately but it is making me think twice about coming up North when I can stay locally and go out. Why isn't Mary on the bar when she usually is? The last 2 times we came in she wasn’t, the vibe is different she was always on the bar Thursday or at least on Fridays . Nope just some more new rude staff? These girls are not the best bartenders. Be Better Do Better! I want to keep supporting.

    My husband and I went to Rocky’s last month. It is located on Hinckley Reservoir near a campground. We found it with Google maps. There was plenty of parking on the side and in front. They asked us if we had reservations. We did not but they seated us right away. It is advisable to have reservations for better seating. They have seating with a view of the lake. I ordered the broiled haddock. My husband ordered the stuffed haddock. My meal was very good. My husband did not like the sauce they put over the stuffed haddock. He said it tasted fishy and ruined the meal. All of the other food was very good. I saw other people’s meals coming out and evening looked good. Customers were making comments about how good the food was. Many were regulars. Our waitress returned at the end of our meal and she asked about his meal and offered us both free dessert. All of the waitresses were attentive to the customers. Taking plates, offering drink refills or whatever was needed. They clearly worked as a team and it was a nice environment as a result of their team work. I works recommend this restaurant. I’m adding some photos.
