“ Enjoyed the food and the service, however the restaurant was so packed we could hear next table’s conversation. ”
“ Celebrated our wedding anniversary, this was an awesome choice , food was amazing. Our waiter Kuda is a true gentleman… ”
“ The food was fantastic! I havnt eaten such a good meal in a while. Service was very good, Ashley was kind and attentive. The only feedback I would give is that the restaurant needs to put signage around the mall directing customers to where the restaurant entrance is. Other then that a fantastic afternoon :) ”
“ We visited The rock for the first time yesterday and the food and cocktails was great, the atmosphere was even greater. however we were given our food without cutlery and the waiter demanded 10% tip, he lied and said it was mandatory it made us uncomfortable..But all in all it was great time ”
“ I visited The Rock Hazelwood under Restaurant week suggestion. I do not regret taking their suggestion. I made reservation on the restaurant week website. I followed up the online reservation by calling in to the restaurant and was assisted by Mark. What a gem. The food was delicious. On the Restaurant week menu I had their sirloin for mains and creme brulee for dessert. Mhmmmm, the portions are generous. I couldnt finish my steak and my partner was full, like they aren't stingy hey. Service was excellent, Kuda, our waiter was checking in on us, giving great suggestions and leaving us with good jokes. We sat outside so we can enjoy the views when the sun was setting, they switched on the outdoor heaters and that just pushed the ambiance two notches up. It became warm and cozy. The aesthetics are natural colors with hints of nature like olive and browns. Very calming and rich. You appreciate the restaurant more when it's at night and the lights come on, wow!! We paired our meal with a nice chilled bottle of Boschendal. We are definitely coming back. Delicious food, great service, great views plus plenty parking that is easily accessible. ”
“ Our waiter Tinashe, gave us a lovely service, but my starter chicken livers had a offish taste. But the rest of the food tasted great. ”
