We had wanted to try Rockys for a while now, since it opened, but had never made it. No problem getting a table on a Friday night at short notice, which was a bit of a surprise as we had heard good things. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. There were some loud patrons and I did notice that the noise was rebounding a bit off the walls with few soft furnishings to absorb it. Could get hard to have a conversation if it was packed out – maybe they could think about putting in some sound baffling.We ordered calamari for an entree as the seafood chowder which was the soup of the day had run out. It was delicious and came in good time. My Wife had the beef pappardelle which was amazing and I went all traditional with the cabonara. All very tasty, which was great as we got full and had some to take home for lunch the next day! A simple menu that they appear to do well and great service. Would have liked to see a few more than one non coffee based options for desert eg a sticky date would top things off, if we’d have had room…A nice addition to Mt Albert and we are going back for a birthday meal with the whole family tonight!
Such an amazing dinner at Rockyson a quiet Wednesday winter evening. 5+ stars for food and service and we ate our way through all three courses of your lovely menu. Winning priced menu with our huge & beautiful entree of tender Calamari with rocket only a modest $12.50. Recommend to all in the area. BYO wine an absolute bonus and a lovely, well-priced wine list if you happen to order at the restaurant. If you are like me a fussy foodie and usually prefer to cook at home than have a disappointing and average restaurant meal thenRockys won’t disappoint.
We enjoyed our first dinner at Rockys so much that we returned two more times within ten days. My husband had the fillet steak each time . And every time it was perfectly cooked. Over the three visits I had the pork belly, fish risotto, and a lamb special. Our daughter had one of the pasta meals. Again each meal, including vegetables, was perfect. We love the quiet ambience and the warm welcome of a family-owned restaurant. Rocky is a talented chef and the subtle flavours will delight you. Even the ordinary fries/chips are flavoured with herbs.Today, for the first time,we visited for breakfast. Our big breakfast meals were all homemade. The potato cake sweet with onion and bacon, the ciabatta fresh, soft and delightfully chewy with a hint of garlic. Eggs, bacon, sausage etc all great and we couldnt finish the generous portions. I feel Rockys will be our second home in Mt Albert. For us, its just a short walk. Im looking forward to sharing Rockys with friends – knowing that the quality meal and warm welcome will please them as much as it does us.
Ordered the chicken parmigiana and a soy chai latte on a quiet Anzac Day morning. Went with two friends who ordered more breakfast-y food. The service was wonderful, the ambiance was calming. Was quite funny to hear ‘the Lion King’ as we ate our food, but I’m not necessarily complaining! Food itself was above and beyond with some of the richest mixing of cheese and tomato flavour I have had the pleasure of experiencing for a long time. The chicken was generously crumbed, and added to the experience hugely. Even the latte was a talking point for how lovely it was! Definitely a sweet chai, not a spicy one, and so lovely. Definitely affordable for what you receive – I needed the help of my friends to finish my $18 meal. Thank you Rockys for the wonderful time, see you again soon.
Rockys keep the menu fairly simple, which suits me, and they do each thing on the menu really well in their own style. Compared to many other cafes their dishes just seem to have a bit more care and effort, whether it be the type of bread used, the way the cook eggs, addition of their own potato cakes (rather than bought hash browns etc). Service is always personal and friendly. Coffee is excellent. Hard to not keep coming back …
A great place to hang out with friends and family! Big portion and yummy coffees! Try out their breakfasts, I think its worth the money! 🙂
Awesome cafe, great food and very friendly staff.Wonderful coffee and great donuts. We have gone back twice now for the donuts! We will be regulars here for sure
