We always enjoy our time here. Food is always good. Drinks are good and service is always great.

This place was recommended by a friend. The downstairs bar is really cool, the upstairs overall has a nice vibe, little dark, but welcoming. The drinks are excellent but pricey. The service was not up to par with the pricing and vibe of the place. Our server was short and didn't seem to have time for us even though we told her it was our first visit and we were struggling with the menu. She made it a point to tell me that even if I asked for mild, the food could be very spicy and I was stuck with it and she pointed that out on the menu while I was try to get her input of the food. The rice and been are heavy, I think they are suppose to me Tex Mex but don't taste anywhere near good quality Mexican I lived in San Diego for 30 years frequently crossing the boarder for real Mexican food which this was no where near. The bacon rapped shrimp was the best item we had. Rice and beans were yuk. We may come back and try happy hour S that menu looked a little more in price range for what you get, had lots of nice items on it, not avail on the regular menu and the drinks are good.

As always, an exceptional meal. I made a special request which they kindly were able accommodate too. The atmosphere is also part of the charm.

Second visit, just as good as the first. Complimentary valet is clutch, and just stand there for a minute after you enter. It feels pitch black until your eyes adjust and then it's just cozy. Fantastic cocktails and lovely, very competent people serving.

Seated next to the fireplace in a cozy booth- wonderful cocktails and all of our meals were great. Big portions!

One of the worst if not the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. Terrible service. Food took an hour and a half to come out after ordering. There were 5 of us. Each dinner was brought to the table 15 minutes after the previous. There was never a waiter to be found. We asked to speak to the manager and that took 20 minutes. Food was cold when it finally arrived. When the manager finally came, she could have cared less. All of this and the bill was over $300. I could go on but the sooner I forget about it, the better.

Call me critical, but after years in the restaurant industry and now as a partner in several restaurant establishments, I notice simple details. I took friends to Rokerij for a birthday celebration. I've been a loyal fan for 20 years and hyped it up as one of my favorite places in town. I noted the birthday celebration on OpenTable and even made it clear to our server that it was a special occasion. Unfortunately, there was no acknowledgment. No birthday dessert, no gesture, nothing. Worse, after the check was dropped, we waited 45 minutes with our payment untouched. No one returned. A busser eventually passed by and tried to help, but another 20 minutes went by before I had to flag down a different server because the busser went missing with our credit cards . Our new server informed me that our original server had left and she'd taken over. She was shocked to find out that he hadn't closed us out. She apologized, but this isn't a small oversight. For a restaurant with Rokerij's reputation, it was a major service failure. The food was excellent, as always, but great food can't make up for poor service. Disappointing, especially on a night that was meant to be special. Don't let this discourage you from coming here. It's amazing and the food is unique and delicious. This is more-so a note to management to tighten up simple service protocols like birthdays and having a server introduce their replacement before leaving for the night.

First of all the food and server were outstanding. I was hosting clients for dinner and they loved everything about the atmosphere. The only issue was the lack of staff for the evening. We had to wait for our server who was incredible, for long periods of time because she had a lot of tables to manage. Other than that, everything was amazing and would go back over and over again.
Our server was great, and the food was excellent as always. Always a great atmosphere for a Sunday brunch. Thanks!

Server missed on one of the diner's request for no onions. It was rectified promptly without question.
Benjamin
We absolutely love this restaurant. The food is always amazing and the service impeccable. We brought 2 couples for the first time and they loved it as well.

Great food and great service. The down stairs bar is a cozy nice experience too for apps and drinks.

Flew into town and our first stop for Sunday Brunch. We enjoyed some wonderful cocktails. We shared a meal as they are very hearty.
