We were staying nearby and looking for a nice steak place. Stumbled upon Rocks that had good reviews. True to word, the food and service was amazing! We did not have a reservation, but we were given a table in spite of it being peak dinner period.
Tried the steak with blue cheese and my son had steak with mushroom. They were both awesome with just the perfect doneness and a fantastic burst of flavour when you bite through the blue cheese (I'm a blue cheese lover, for those that don't like blue cheese, you should get steak and mushrooms). They also have quite a fair bit of other dishes and the best part is that they have a small and large size for some of them - nice gesture for those who don't eat large portions. My wife ordered a pasta and it turned out quite delicious. So it's not just steaks they're good at :) Food presentation was great as evident from the pics.
Service was awesome, not overwhelming, but we could feel the warmth and friendliness from everyone.
When I'm back in Invercargill, I will no doubt be back here again!! Great food, warm service, nice ambience, reasonable prices, absolute value for money - what else could a hungry soul ask for? :)
Excellent food. The sharing player was next level. I'd give the cocktails a miss. We had steak and the blueberrie venison, delicious and cooked perfectly
Great service as well.
A delightful evening with friends, made better by a very nice meal. My personal favourite the Fillet Mignon (270 grams) yet other members of our table had the Mushroom Steaks - 380grams of Southland Beef. Enjoyed was also the Slow Roast Loin of Pork with mashed potatoes and crackling. Service was good although they forgot our drinks, restaurant was very busy, warm with pleasant surroundings. Mains priced from $37.50 to $43.00. Meal service was prompt and the staff friendly, although I personally would have preferred that the staff wore masks.
Delicious! Been here a few months & finally found a great steak!!! And platter was amazing! Friendly staff. Keep up the great work guys! We'll keep coming back for sure.
My wife and I were recommended the rocks by our family, we are from out of town and we're unsure we're to go out for dinner. The rocks was absolutely perfect. The service was fantastic,the staff were very polite and proficient, the food was the best meal out I have had in years. The portions were much better than anything back home. The atmosphere was quite and comfortable. I will 100% be going back next time I'm going out for dinner in Invercargill!
Lovely wee place apparently under new ownership.
The food was very tasty but the service lets them down a bit.
We were seated in clear sight of the service staff yet had to ask for everything, one server even rolled her eyes when we asked if we could order another beverage.
They passed us by without observing our table at all.
Never checked to see if meal was okay.
We left disappointed.
Very good restaurant, love the atmosphere, very cozy to hangout with friends or family. They also serve a high quality food. We ordered the salmon risotto and ribeye steak with blue cheese sauce(?). Risotto was very flavorful. The smokey taste is very strong. Won’t recommend this if don’t like strong smoke flavor. Steak is cooked to a perfection! A bit heavy on cheese sauce but it makes sense with the caramelized onion. Everything is just the right match!
The quality of the food here is really good; they seem to put a lot of work into flavour. The steak and the pork were both cooked beautifully. If I'm being picky, the service was a little slow, but to be fair, we were in right on opening time, so they may not have been fully set up.Also not the cheapest, but you get your money's worth for sure. Good selection, and very good service too. Highly recommended.
If you want good food served in a relaxed environment by friendly staff you should give the Rocks a go. The steak is simply perfect. Hell even the breads and spreads was incredible. This is what you get when a passionate chef runs his own restaurant. The Rocks should be on any visitors list. The lemonatta cheesecake is Devine.
My wife and I go here most years for our Wedding anniversary and tonight's meal reinforced why we do. Simply excellent in every way great service amazing food just brilliant!
