Rockafellas is a consistently good choice on the nights that my husband and I do not want to cook. The food is always good, especially the fried brie salad--awesome! I have to agree that the sweet potato fries are fantastic! The wine list would use additional variety, but on the whole, Rockafellas is a very nice, very classy place for lunch, dinner, or cocktail hour! Enjoy!

Pros: Unique Menu Choices, Moderately Priced, Atmosphere

Cons: Limited Parking, Can Be Noisy

I'm a huge martini person and try them just about anywhere i go. If you're like me but want something a bit unusual, head here during october and try a pumpkin martini. The bartender was even kind enough to go a little heavy on the baileys for me because i'm not a big rum person. Best part about the food was the sweet potatoe fries, i dont care if you like sweet potatoes or not, you'll like these. Quiet and nice for lunch, crazy and fun at night.

I have been to the bar on a Friday or Thursday night, and loved it. They have a reggae band on Thursdays, which is fun. However, around 10 or 10:30 they start charing $10 cover, so go earlier when it's free or $5, the place will be packed anyways. Had their food for the first time today for lunch and really enjoyed it. The service was slow, though there weren't many people, and not too friendly, so if you are in rush, I wouldn't stop in. I had a chicken sandwich and asian salad, which were really good, but their sweet potato fries are awesome. I'll definately go back.

Pros: Ambience, Bar Scene

Cons: Parking, Service

Rockafellas is definetely a change in atmosphere as the restaurant states. The menu has excellent choices and the live music (mostly jazz and the like) is extremely good. The atmosphere is very comfortable with an open and inviting feeling. I highly recommend Rockafellas to all.

Pros: excellent food, great music, comfortable

Cons: none
