Rockefellers Oyster Grill

That was a very disappointing culinary experience. we have been happy here in the past, but will not be back after this experience. the menu changed with less options, the prices rose clearly, it took 1 1/2 hours to get our meal, the weeping was very small with the price big (although I mentioned it on the waitress, brought me another) than the food came, it was only warm and it was not fantastic tasting. I'll say that the piano player was happy to hear.

I haven't been to rockefellers yet, and I'm sure I'd go back. michael was our server, and he was excellent and very attentive, but did not float. it was a special occasion(85th birthday,) and the kitchen was very courteous with desserts, candles etc. the chef even came out, imagined and gave us a free dish fish cake that was delicious and the fried oysters were great! the atmosphere was perfect. it reminds me of P.J clarke’s in nyc, which was always a favorite!

We really liked rockefellers!!the service was a bit slow but we really enjoyed the food. My husband got an oyster burger and raved about it!

However, my date ordered the panko white fish, which unfortunately was not good. It had an overpowering fishy taste that masked any seasonal flavors or panko seasoning, which suggests it was either not fresh or poorly prepared. White fish should not taste like that. Additionally, my husband found his portion to be watery and lacking; it barely had any bourbon flavor, especially for the $10 price. The wine list featured bottles in the $8 to $13 range, with glasses priced at $9, or $40 for a bottle — a bit pricier than the typical 2x or 3x markup you'd expect at a restaurant. On a positive note, the calamari appetizer was really good with a fantastic dipping sauce. I also enjoyed a solid beer from the sister establishment, Pig and Whiskey Bar, thanks to our attentive waitress. Overall, it was a mixed experience.

I visited Rockefeller's for Valentine's Day and arrived a bit early for our reservation, which allowed us to enjoy a drink at the bar while listening to some live piano music. The atmosphere at the bar was quite pleasant, and our bartender, Jeff, was excellent! We were seated promptly for our reservation and started with an appetizer of fried oysters, which were delicious. For our mains, we ordered a NY strip steak and salmon. The steak was decent—tender but a little fatty—while the salmon was tasty, though it had a bit too much sauce. Overall, the food was flavorful, and the ambiance was lovely. It's a fantastic spot for a date night!
