"RockCreek is somewhere you should go if you’d like to be continuously reminded of the fact that you’re eating seafood. We’re not just saying that because the massive babbling brook artwork makes it difficult to forget the theme of your meal—it’s also because the menu is stacked with great options. You’ll find everything from oyster shooters and crudo, to Chilean seabass with provençal herbs and jerk-marinated swordfish. Both the Seattle and Kirkland locations are participating in Link & Dine." - Team Infatuation
"Rockcreek is somewhere you should go if you’d like to be continuously reminded of the fact that you’re eating seafood.

It’s also because the menu is stacked with things like oyster shooters, Chilean seabass, and jerk-marinated swordfish. Thankfully, the shrimp and brown butter-slicked grits (our favorite dish) is a mainstay on the rotating menu. It has subtle heat tempered by creamy grits, and the prawns are always cooked perfectly." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Some people go camping near a babbling brook with their parents. And some people skip that nonsense and just take their parents to a restaurant that has a giant picture of a babbling brook on the wall. Enter RockCreek, a slightly upscale seafood experience in a space that’s reminiscent of that glamping cabin your mom booked one time (then cancelled). Do some oyster shooters, or grab some small plates (we love the shrimp and grits with brown butter and serrano ham), and then you really can’t go wrong with any of the entrees. If you want the babbling brook scene to feel more realistic, get a whole fish." - aimee rizzo
"Unless you’re camping in the wilderness harpooning your dinner with a whittled stick, it’s unlikely you’ll have fresh seafood next to a babbling brook. Rockcreek is as close as you get to that experience, and you don’t even have to deal with rafting on river rapids. The seafood is excellent (particularly the shrimp and grits and roasted seabass), and it feels like the kind of forest cabin your elitist in-laws would rent and consider “roughing it” just because there are exposed beams. This is a good place for a date, or a group dinner on the second floor balcony." - aimee rizzo
"So, the big camping trip got canceled because it was a scam. Turns out “Rainbow Rolling River Ridge” isn’t a real place. While cooking some freshly caught bass over an open flame and listening to a lapping stream is now out of the question, Rock Creek is a solid substitute. The seafood menu has basics like shrimp and grits, as well as a whole branzino, or a cauliflower and celery salad that is exponentially less boring than it sounds. If your group is bigger than you originally realized, see if you can get in the private room on the balcony, which looks like a well-decorated vacation cabin rental." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
