Enjoyed a wonderful party for my father in law’s 80th birthday. The Rookery exceeded all expectations.

Sat at the bar for dinner on Friday night and the bartender who served us was very bad (on the edge of obnoxious) - poor customer service experience. Too bad because the food was decent.

We just left here extremely disappointed and wouldn't recommend to anyone. Had reservations for NY day. Arrived to see parking lot pretty empty and now we know why. Buffet was not refreshed when we got there and didn’t look appealing at all. For the money it cost it was terrible! Coffee was ice cold and terrible coffee to begin with so switched to soda which I never drink and was charged for it on top of the outrageous price for what this buffet offered. Nothing looked appealing when I saw this buffet and nothing left me satisfied with what I ate. I ate just because I was paying for it. Frozen pastries, French toast was frozen too. Looked like not much effort went into wowing guest that’s for sure. Sauce on the chicken parm tasted like prego so couldn’t eat that. Fish was blah. Only thing decent was the fruit.Caesar salad was ok, would have been better if they actually put more shaved parm cheese on it. Cookies were stale. Food is not quality. Prime Rib was way over cooked! No au jus.
Oh and if you wanted tea you had to get it yourself and the supposed hot water was cold too. Place was a complete ripoff $160 later. They need to focus more on the food than the decorating. I like a place that has an ambiance but the food makes it or breaks it and this was a deal breaker for me. I don’t mind paying if the food is good, This was not.

I have ordered the same burger from this restaurant several times, always with American cheese, and it used to be consistently very good. However, during my last few online orders, I specifically requested—and paid for—American cheese, only to receive cheddar each time. While it may seem like a small detail, when the burger is nearly $20, I expect to receive exactly what I paid for.

After the issue repeated itself, my husband contacted the restaurant. Instead of offering a simple apology, the staff member explained that their online vendor had not yet updated the website to reflect the new American cheese option and said he would reach out to have it corrected. Unfortunately, that does not resolve the fact that customers are being charged for an option that isn’t being honored.

For clarity, I ordered directly through their website, not a third-party service.

I’ve enjoyed their food in the past, but repeated mistakes and lack of accountability have made the experience frustrating. I hope they take the necessary steps to update their system and ensure accuracy moving forward.

Best nachos I’ve ever had in my life and they got rid of them in so sad

Food & drink we're good, I love it when a restaurant is smart and has a small enough menu that they can branch out into different ideas. The steak gyro was good, tzatziki sauce was bland (needed a hint of mint). Fried cod battered in chips/crisps was perfect.

Meh I had eaten here a year ago and found it very good. Yesterday, not so much. Woefully understaffed, the waitress was very nice but overworked My chicken Caesar wrap had almost zero chicken. The fries we of the frozen variety and underwhelming And they charge $4.50 for a single glass of ice tea. Cannot recommend.

As a Barrington, RI resident we have always loved both the Rookery and Aviary. We have even used the Aviary for catering purposes over the years. Our last two visits to the Rookery have been nothing short of horrible. The manager and general manager, are the main reason we plan not to go back. I hope things get better.
