    It was my first time at this establishment - we came to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary for lunch with my in laws . Food was good however our fries were cold and my crab cake sandwich was luke warm. Our server was nice Ron I think his name was but was not very attentive to our needs . When he did come back around it was when we were done with lunch however he never came to refill waters and or drinks . Server never came around to check on us therefore we couldn’t tell him . When I did ask for more tea he said ok I got you but never brought me an another tea instead we got the check. When my husband made the reservation they had asked if it was special occasion it he said yes . But it was never acknowledged at the table at the time of service. I know you all are closing but it was huge let down in terms of service and zero acknowledgment of our anniversary.

    Rockafeller’s has been my favorite restaurant since the early 90s—it was great to finally live close by. I was so sad to hear about the closing. Today, my sister and I stopped by for an early dinner. Angel was our server and she was SPECTACULAR!! (Thank you again, Angel!!) The Oysters Rockafeller was perfect, along with the crab cakes. Even the burger with crispy onions was delicious. Thank you for all the great memories and food over the years. Wishing you all the best in whatever is to come in the future.

    Get to this restaurant experience!!! ..... I highly doubt you will be disappointed. It's the end of an era as they are closing, if I heard correctly, Nov 4th. I believe they made a social media post but only go off my memory when I am reviewing. The atmosphere is awesome. The entire staff are phenomenal! I promise you they are going to be busy.But when we showed up, we got seated in about three minutes. I'm guessing if they're busy 20 to 30 minute, wait. I would call ahead if you're planning on going in the next couple weeks.

    The food was beyond exceptional, I really enjoyed it thoroughly. Our waitress, Asher, was an absolute delight. She was a supreme professional with a wonderful, fun and inviting personality. I would come back again just for the service alone that I received. Between the manager who moved heaven and earth to seat us and Ashers professional performance, Rockafellers has earned 5 stars, I would give them 10 if I could!

    We are visiting from out of state and everyone recommended this place to us. We went on a Friday at peak hours, with no reservation, and they were able to accommodate us with no issue. The dinning area was beautiful, perfect for our date! Food was outstanding ans affordable. My husband and I both had the fresh catch of the day (Salmon and Mahi) and it was the freshest fish we have had this whole trip. Our server, Angel, was do sweet and attentive to our needs despite having a full house. Im sad to hear this establishment is closing because it was amazing.
