Reviews of The Rock Restaurant

S. M.

I had a lovely date night with my friends at this restaurant and we enjoyed every minute! The food was impeccable! The atmosphere was amazing too.

Z. M.

I had a great experience, waitress was great she really did serve us well. I enjoyed the food and drinks

T. M.

I really enjoyed this place. The steak was juicy and tender with great flavour. The sushi was fresh and the cocktails were surprisingly strong. Overall 5 star outing. I definitely recommend it.

J. M.

We had a great experience. Calming ambience, great food, great aesthetic pleasure and amazing service. Overall 10/10

K. G.

I visited the Rock for my birthday this year and even though it was raining and everything seemed a but dull. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The waitress, Sakhile, made my entire time there so special. She took time to listen to us, she offered to take pictures, she was so willing to explain everything. I feel like wherever you go, service will always stand out in comparison to everything else and that's what I experienced here. Thank you The Rock but more importantly, Thank you Sakhile!!!

F. S.

The place is easy to go to using GPS The food was 8/10, and I couldn't finish the rack of Ribs 1kg cause I had to return it back because it was not warm Drinks 🍸 pricey for the limitations wish to add more I wish the waiter would loosen up interms of personality, unlike working like she is forced Overall, 9/10 would definitely go back again

A. N.

Went here with my friend and had a blast. The restaurant is very cozy and chill. The vibe is definitely better once it gets late. The food was good, but the portion sizes are a bit small. The only issue I had was that our waitress was not friendly and made the experience a bit less awesome.

P. N. M.

Perfect for Friday afternoon dates... the food is amazing. The ambiance is uplifting, and the staff makes it vibey. I loved everything about it.

S. S.

Had a lovely time. Great tasting food and friendly service.

C. N.

I'm honestly appalled, I called in the morning to book for my husband's birthday lunch and I was told you don't take bookings to just walk in. I arrived with my husband and wanted to sit on the table by the astro turf grass and was told that it its booked. In fact, the entire artificial grass seating area was "booked". Njani when I was told to just walk in 🤔 No problem. We sit, eat and watch as people arrive asking if they can sit by the "booked" seating area?! That's how I know that some of the people seated there did not book. Impact, 4 hours later the very table that we wanted to sit on and was told it is booked IS STILL EMPTY 🤯🤯🤯 Attached pic as proof. If only I was white... Shout out to Sammy though she was amazing attending to our table 👏 🙌

S. S.

The place is welcoming and amazing. The service is efficient and the menu is accommodative, even for vegans.

Great food and huge portions. Great value for money. The smoking area can be improved as it is situated right in front on the toilets which is quite unpleasant. Air conditioning required for indoor seating.

K. S.

After ordering our drinks our waiter never came back to us, we had to call another for ourselves. Despite that, the food was amazing.

M. P.

Very nice place, aesthetically pleasing and the vibe is nice. The food is alright, the service can be better.

D. T.

Lovely Restaurant in a great area! Prices are high but food is worth the price, if you can afford I would definitely recommend treating yourself.

T. M.

Beautiful venue with excellent lunchtime specials. Service was very good as well.

L. N.

The resturant is very beautiful with good food.Their ribs damn👌🔥Went for a quick lunch …definitely will be back.

K. S. M. M.

It was a lovely experience.The place is so open and warm and we didn't wait long for the food and the person who was serving us was nice.

F. S.

A beautiful restaurant at hazel wood. That offers a range of food and awesome wines. Went here for lunch and they didn’t disappoint.

H. M.

Khosi was our lovely waiter. She made us feel really special. I really enjoyed the food as well. I had some of the best sushi ever. Will visit them again.

E. T.

It's such a chilled place, I enjoyed my lunch with my friend😁👍

N. S.

Officially one of my favourite hang out spots in the afternoon. The ambiance is incredible, the food is delicious, the customer service is impeccable. I highly recommend this restaurant 🤞🏽

N. N.

I loved cederberg bukettraube paired with prawn pasta! This was suggested by the waiter that served us, Joshua. He is so good at what he does, the warm welcome he gives the clients, top tier service.

S. T. (. C.

Fun was had with our birthday girls🥂

P. M.

The food is quite enjoyable. Their breakfast menu is quite small so keep that in mind , it might be better to come after 11:30 but the selection is still good and the staff is really good , very friendly and professional.

E. G. M.

Lovely restaurant, hands on staff , great aesthetics and fairly priced food. Usually gets packed around the late afternoons.

t. d.

10/10 minus nothing, from the ambiance to the food. Everything was top tier, I’d highly recommend, also Michael or Mike (waiter) deserves a bells, very friendly and funny, he is really good at his job. Money well spent.

T. M.

The place is aesthetically pleasing, an excellent service and a chilled spot to dine

M. N.

A nice spot to visit.The food is amazing and the service is exceptional. Definitely visiting again.... PSSST.....they have amazing specials on their Instagram page.Check it out!!

D. N.

The atmosphere is good. The seats are however too close for my comfort, I could hear conversations. The california rolls are mostly rice, very little avo and fish. The kingklip is good, but the sirloin steak was such a disappointment 😞. It was hard, i asked for medium and it came well done😢😅. Cant believe i paid 1000 rand and 100 in tip for what i got. It was not value for money in my opinion. The waiters kept coming to our table to take ketchup and sauces, its like they had very few and all customers needed the sauces. It was making me feel uncomfortable, cause I was being rushed to use it so that the next customer could have thrir turn.. gosh.

P. M.

Your hostess Tshidi is very rude.we had asked for the waiter serving us to move to the next table since the patrons were leaving. While waiting for it to be cleaned she allocated it to other patrons while we made it clear we’re being moved there, but she just gave us the middle finger and went on to give them the table. She went on to talk about how customers feel entitled and trashed talked us with her patrons while we could hear her. This was not my first encounter with her. She’s rude & unprofessional. 👎👎👎

S. M.

Awesome Restaurant and perfect location

R. S.

We had a really great dining experience with Innocentia. She is really amazing and has the heart for what she does!

L. P.

Look and feel 8/10: I think the 2 goes to the downside that the toilets are outside and doesn't feel safe, we visited on a rainy evening so this setup was not ideal. Food: 8/10 loved their seafood pasta. Service: 8/10 the waiter was professional, polite and on point. I would return for lunch or breakfast on a good summer's day

P. N.

We were there tonight 07/08/2022, celebrating our baby sister's s16th birthday. The service is excellent, we had a great waiter by the name of Martin. He is such an amazing soul who offered us a splendid service 🙏🏾 Matt who gave us a little 'history'on the resturant , so interesting. The staff there is super is so warm, and very attentive to their visitors needs. The food was delicious I rate the service 5stars! It's a great place to go out with the girls or gents.

T. L.

The ambience was great, the service was a bit slow in terms of the waiter we got but everything was amazing. The food was great, especially their ribs and wings.

M. v. R.

Had a wonderful breakfast with my family ☺️

S. C.

The atmosphere is great. Our waitress was Loveness, she was friendly and gave us a great service. I had Seafood Pasta it was really tasty. I had a great time, would definitely come back.

C. B.

The service was absolutely magnificent. The waiter Matthew Marais was extremely professional and treated me like a queen. The barman Knowledge Cnyoro Chitongo gave me the best experience, personalized cocktails. The drinks were absolutely amazing. I cannot fault them on anything. I literally did not want to leave. The food is also very delicious. Wonderful experience. Thank you to the manager as well. Everything was just lovely man!

N. m.

Had a good time. The food was great and the service was excellent. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is interested in a venue for a date or just dining with loved ones. It has an intimate but relaxed atmosphere

love the food and drinks but most of servers could smile more and be more friendly in my opinion,Oscar (one of the servers)was very friendly when he served us,i love the interior look and atmosphere.

M. F.

Was not as vibey as the Fourways one but will go back here.

E. l. R.

Great atmosphere with nice location.

H. J. S.

Fabulous venue for every occasion. Quality of life food is excellent. Friendly and helpful management and staff. Thank for setting the perfect atmosphere for our 32nd wedding anniversary ❤️ 💕. Can you please attend to image of your ablution 😔. We will definitely visit you again. 👌👍❤️🤗🙌✝️

T. M.

Man what can I say, The Rock never disappoint absolutely satisfied with the service. Next time I rock up here, I would like management to salute me at the entrance and offer courtesy drinks or something along those lines. Can't front y'all, I love this restaurant, word to mother!

K. v. W.

Don't know where to start, this was our anniversary destination and from start to finish Matt and the team took care of us. Even though it was raining and cold we asked to sit outside, Ben, our waiter then organized a special spot for us outside out of the rain with a candle, Matt the manager actually brought us duvets to keep us warm. All the food was to die for, from sushi as starters to mains and to top it off Matt surprised us with their delicious cheesecake tacos as a anniversary gift. Thank you Matt and team for making the day special.

Z. M.

10/10. My only issue was that our waiter was helictoptering my friends and I. There isn't great lighting for pictures but it's a nice corner spot

A. R.

Stylish and modern. Warm lighting. Beautiful interior and exterior. Had a juicy cosmopolitan and some lovely Sauvignon Blanc. Ordered a seafood pasta but it was rather on the bland side. Amazing Creme Brulee. Friendly staff . Will probably visit again.

M. G.

Really great restaurant. Good vibe for dates or for chilling with friends. Service was excellent, Lebo was our waitress and she was especially attentive, helpful and great at elevating the vibe while remaining professional. Definitely going back soon.

D. T.

It looks like it's THE place to be in Pretoria East. Definitely popular and has diverse clientele. Upbeat atmosphere and stylish decor. It feels like a classier version of a Newscafe. Service is generally professional and attentive with visible and engaged management team.

N. C.

Absolutely loved the experience. From the ambiance, the food and service🤌🏽 Malifa was a darling, we enjoyed her service💜 I was there with a group of friends for my birthday...totally loved the cake offerings as well😍

B. R.

Just had the most amazing Fillet steak. Great food. Good service. If you don’t try for yourself you are losing out.

D. P. Y.

Started off with a shared Caeser salad which settled the hunger pains after a hectic Black Friday, negotiating Gauteng's crazy traffic in a constant downpour. The Excalibur was excellent for mains. Even yummy enough to want to take the small remaining amount i just could not manage to finish, home for lunch tomorrow. Once again Knowledge, barman extraordinaire, put together a gin cocktail from my vague discription of citrussy flavours gin and some sour fruit. It was muddled basil and a valencia based gin, some lemony notes with a hint of blueberry, topped up with limoncello and bubbles. Head is still spinning but in a most satisfactory way. All the flavours i wanted and way more than i needed. Luckily i was not the DD tonight. The Rock is always special, even if just to watch the passing parade. Staff are attentive but not obtrusive. Will definitely be back soon as long as The dreaded C-Lockdown doesn't interfere. However I have inside information that The Rock team can adapt so takeaways will always be a good option especially for patrons who live nearby. The rest of us out of towners will just have to hope that the new C19 varient is the ultra weakling cousin and will soon fizzle.out. Well done to a restaurant team that are just that, a team that work together seemlessly. You are all stars.

S. M.

We waited for so long for the waiter to take our orders. The drinks and food also took so long to be served. Please improve on that!!! Nonetheless, the food was amazing 👏🏽
