Excellent restaurant on the river in Melbourne at Crown. The service and food were superb. Even the tomato in the salad was fantastic. Wine list was very good too.
Oh My God.
Tonight I came here with a friend in celebration of completing exams. Walking in, we were astounded at the decor of the restaurant. The first thing you see is a picture with a cow. Beautiful lights, and black tall walls, open kitchen, comfy chairs and a large window overlooking the Yarra River.
We were shown to our seats (we had a reservation) and we sat next to the window with the view. We ordered two steaks (one sirloin and one ribeye) both cooked medium-rare. For sides, we had the Dutch Cream Potatoes Sauted with Wagyu Fat, Garlic and Rosemary, boiled mixed greens with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Lemon and a side of Roasted Pumpkin and Sweet Potato with Garlic Yoghurt and Burnt Butter.
Everything was divine. The steaks were exceptionally cooked. We loved the saltiness and the lemon accompanied with the steak. The food just melted in your mouth. The potatoes were definitely a highlight of the night – you could really taste all the flavours and they worked so well. Pumpkin was soft and hot and the vegetables were a great accompaniment as well.
For dessert, we ordered the almond chocolate sponge cake and that was also sweet and yummy. The dish was very intricate and well-crafted.
The cocktail we weren’t too pleased with but only because we didn’t like the flavour very much but I was very content with my choice of wine.
An exceptional dining experience that I will never forget. I look forward to returning soon.
Impeccable service and sophisticated ambience, food was good. Staff were nice, approachable and not over attentive, they are pretty knowledgeable about their steak and help you find out which one suits your taste. We got their cape grim sourced ribeye with bone, waygu chuck with potato puree from the main and macaroni and cheese for the side to share. The dry-aged steak was beautifully charcoal cooked, tender and juicy with strong meat taste. I love their macaroni and cheese with adequate incredible cheese sauce, the macaroni was totally al-dentle! But sadly we were a little bit disappointed by the waygu beef chuck, it was overcooked completely to well done that made it dry and flavorless. Whats a pity…

I found the place to be overrated.
The staff were friendly.
Portions were generous.
Food was good, but not outstanding.
Rockpool is synonymous with Crown and Southbank, and is a classic establishment in Melbourne’s CBD. If you haven’t had a night out here before then it is worthy of your next special occasion. Beautiful environment right next to the Yarra, and beautiful steaks. My favourite is still the ~$60 fillet steak I had on my first visit – which I think is the benchmark that I now compare all my steaks to. Sides and drinks are also on point. Not a cheap meal but definitely worth a try.
I have heard a lot of good things about rockpools steak, and it did not disappoint me at all. The steak was amazing! We ordered a scotch fillet and rib eye. The scotch fillet was with a little bit of fatty but perfect, very flavoursome. The rib eye was saltier, but seasoned well. The sausage was really flavoursome and juicy too. We also shared creme brle with blueberries where the little sourness of the blueberries balance the creme brle really well. Highly recommended!
Give me service , give me steak give me the bill yes I was overwhelmed by it all the meal was great , wine list on point , service sharp , I expect nothing less at this venue thank you and good night
