Rockford

This is a nice cozy place to enjoy a cocktail and dinner while taking in the lively Glenwood South crowd from the Rockford's 2nd floor dining room. My wife and I met another couple and really enjoyed this place. We went on a Thursday evening when they had live entertainment. The single musician was entertaining and played many familiar songs. We shared the bread and tomato salad appetizers and each got our own large plate. I had the scallops, my friend and wife had the tofu dish while his wife had the salmon. All were delicious and filling. We were so full from our entrees we didn't have room for dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant but make sure to have reservations since the dining area isn't huge and fills up quickly.

Visited this place last week with some coworkers, all of us from out of town. This is a DESTINATION spot to go. The food was creative, flavorful, beautiful, cooked to perfection, high end, well priced, more than sufficiently portioned. Our table tasted around everyone's plates and would have no reservations about recommending the pork chop, risotto, duck breast, and steak frites. The bread pudding for dessert was large enough to share around and delicious without being overly sweet. For appetizers, the fried oysters were a unique take and the brussel sprouts, although a staple, were also great. The service was speedy, attentive (not overbearing though), and very well educated and thoughtful! Our server walked us through recommendations on cocktails and dishes by asking us about our moods and likes and dislikes and he was spot on with each one. A lot of restaurants have live music just to say they have live music. The Rockford had FANTASTIC music. A single guitarist/singer who was talented and a relatable nostalgic selection. Would pay to see him at other venues too. (Wish I had gotten his name.) Summary: This place was amazing from top to bottom. Environment, service, food, and budget were all phenomenal.

The Rockford was a pretty great place to come for brunch! I had a friend in town so I brought them here. The restaurant itself is really aesthetically pleasing, and the servers are really friendly. I got the shrimp and grits and my friend got the breakfast burrito and we both enjoyed our meals. We also split a couple of the donuts and those were also really good. I don't know if I would come for dinner, but I really enjoyed my brunch experience and think it was a lovely place to bring my friend. I heard about this place from Offline Raleigh.

Celebrating and the Rockford was chosen for the celebration. We began with cocktails of course. Our appetizer that we shared was Brussels. The Brussels was crisp and the added sauce accommodated it perfectly. I decided on the pork chops with collards and mashed potatoes while my colleague ordered the Salmon with risotto. The meals were absolutely delicious. We ended with the Southern Style Bread Pudding. This evening couldn't have been any better and the waiter was very helpful in explaining the menu choices. And we sat on the terrace which created an almost rooftop experience. I will bring all my friends and colleagues here for this grand experience in great food.

NOT handicap accessible. The entrance is just a door sandwiched between two other restaurants that leads to a flight of wooden stairs to get up to the hostess stand. It’s a shame that the restaurant isn’t more accessible because otherwise the experience was nice. The food was delicious. I had the steak and it was cooked perfectly, very tender with a nice crispy edge. We shared the bread pudding for desert and the flavor was very good but the texture was like a soggy blondie and I think it would have been better if it was served with ice cream instead of a sad dollop of whipped cream. I enjoyed the dining experience overall, but I don’t think this would be top of my list to recommend to other people.

Great brunch spot. Word on the street is they have great $3 mimosas on Sunday??? The food was delicious and flavorful. The staff was great and helpful in making a selection. The bloody Mary tasted more like shrimp cocktail sauce, not a fan. But everything else was spot on!

Every dish was exquisite yet perfectly filling. Each menu item was a pleasant surprise. The brussels, stir fry, and french silk mousse is one delicious full course meal. Ambience and service was top notch, Chef Camilo was the best.

Loved the brunch here! Was a neat place. Everything was delicious and service exceptional. They have different specials every day which is awesome.
