    We often eat here. Almost always a table regardless the hour. The menu selection is not the largest and what is available is always good. Calamari, pasta and chicken excellent.

    I’ve eaten at the Rockwood Grill many times over the years and generally have felt quite satisfied. This time, however, I was a bit disappointed by the limited menu and the fact the food was just ordinary and a bit expensive. I’m not sure what’s transpired in the last year when I was here last.

    For some reason, when we arrived, they informed us they were closing “soon”, although their posted hours don’t indicate a mid-day close. They couldn’t seat us outside because they were closing, so we sat in a back corner. Staff began sweeping before our food arrived. Food was fine but overpriced. Ambiance outside looked nice and the interiors were well designed and clean but the ambiance on this day was weird, given that they were closing. It felt like they were honoring our reservation, and service was attentive, but the vibe was overall weird. Beautiful hotel but I wouldn’t go for lunch again.

    Excellent restaurant! High quality and flavorful food – a bit pricey, but it is a resort hotel restaurant. Excellent dishes are the scallops, chicken, skuna bay salmon, and filet mignon. The salads are really nice and I’m not a real salad eater. They make a dynamite, bacon cheeseburger and fries. Nice wine List. The servers, Elena and Dzenana really make the experience worthwhile! Friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional.

    We went on the spur of the moment. Just wanted light fare and the restaurant filled the bill. The menu seems to have been abbreviated since we were here last. But it is a hotel restaurant and it covers most of the bases for us.
