Do yourself a favor and dine somewhere else. My wife and I were recommended this place for from a reputable establishment in New Hope. As we entered the establishment, we noticed they had a seafood cart on their outdoor patio with fresh shrimp and oysters and a happy hour sign with pricing of $2 for oysters and $4 for shrimp. We asked the hostess if that deal was only for outdoor seating, which she replied yes. Normally, we like to sit at the bar, but we decided to sit on their patio to partake in the happy hour menu. Ed was our waiter, and he overheard our conversation with the hostess and corrected her by saying the happy hour menu is included at the bar as well, but we decided to stay seated on the patio regardless. We ordered everything on the happy hour menu with the exception of one item. We shared the oysters and the shrimp, which were good. We took 2 bites of the cheese curds and spinach dip, which were disgusting. Next came the tacos (2) and wings (4). They were gross and only had 1 bite. The buffalo calamari was horrible, as were the sliders. Our waiter Ed wasn't surprised when we commented on the food. His reply was, "It's happy hour food." It was our mistake from the start not ordering what we originally came to Rocco's for, but that response from a fine dining establishment was surprising. We were having a great day and didn't want to complain to management, but we decided to call the following day, and we spoke with a manager named Antonio. Needless to say, he didn't like our criticism and said they are known as a steakhouse and serve approximately 2500 patrons a week. We told Antonio we weren't calling about how many people they serve, the call was about the horrible food experience. Antonio just said, "Come back for the steak," and left the conversation at that. We did not have a food budget going out but this was literally 115 dollars of crap. The fact that everyone's approach and solution is oh its happy hour food is even worse than the horrible food. They should have told us the happy hour food taste like fecal matter and we would have just gone with the steaks! They are supposedly famous for the steaks but out of the 20 people outside I didn't see 1 person eating a steak. I didn't want to blast them with a horrible review but Antonio's lack of caring and rectifying the situation warranted the review! Save your money and drive the extra 15 minutes to New Hope!
