    Not recommended, extremely small portions, paid $44 for grilled fish, but the fish was tiny (probably 100-150g). $24 for TWO scallops. Taste wise was okay but far from what was expected for the price. Ambience was decent.

    As a long-term patron of The Rocks this was a very poor dining experience. The quality of food and service has always been of the highest standard and usually great evening. On this occasion, which was my wife's Birthday, the food was poor the main and ironically the most expensive main course dish which as described as Lobster Spaghetti bisque was undercooked and lacking in substance and flavor!! There was no attempt made by the wait staff to enquire as the food to our guests at no stage during service until I approached the counter to pay the bill. This was symptomatic of the poor service - especially as it featured a persistent lack of attendance and responsiveness The atmosphere was also poor with loud music and the ambience was more like a nightclub that a high-end restaurant. Overall, it was the worst visit to The Rocks, and there will need to be significant improvements required before I will contemplate the notion of repeat visit for any Special occasion in the future!

    It was great. We all had delicious fish and chips. Room for very warm - as the door to outdoor was open for staff to go in and out and it was a stinking hot day. Recommend venue as view terrific
    The Rocks MorningtonResponded 7 days ago
    Hello Di Thank you for your 5 stars and feedback regarding the door to the deck being open on such a hot day. Usually would be closed to assist with cooling unless lots of traffic in and out from the deck. We are so pleased though to hear you enjoyed your recent dining with us and look forward to hopefully welcoming you back again soon. Kind Regards Kirstine, Daniel & The Rocks Team
