"We recently hosted my father-in-law’s 90th birthday celebration at Rockwells and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The event space was stunning—elegant, warm, and perfect for our group of 60 guests.
Rose and Teague were incredibly helpful in coordinating every detail of the event and ensured everything ran smoothly, even when I accidentally mixed up the event time— the team didn’t miss a beat and made it happen seamlessly.
Sabina and Gloria were exceptional—attentive, professional, and made sure not a single guest was left unattended. Their care and attention made all the difference.
The lasagna we requested was absolutely delicious—everyone raved about it. The food and service were both phenomenal, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt welcome and taken care of.
Planning an event can be stressful, but Rockwells made it flawless. Their communication, flexibility, and professionalism were top-notch. We truly felt supported every step of the way. I can’t recommend this venue highly enough!"

"Recently went for a company function. Had one of the side rooms with a set menu. This is the 2nd time we have been here for the same function. Both times the appetizer options were great. It was hit & miss for the flavor and accurateness of the entree options both times. Overall, it is a nice restaurant with pretty views of the river for a night out."

"This was my first time visiting this restaurant. It was absolutely great!! Ari (I think thats how you spell her name not sure) she was an absolutely amazing waitress!! I did not mind tipping her at all. I brought my girlfriend for her birthday and we loved everything. The only thing I did not like was the confusion for where the restaurant entrance and location was inside the building. The food was amazing the atmosphere was great and the service was superb 💯great experience I will be back!!!"
