A very very outdated place. Food was flavorful but over priced. The staff was friendly but you have to order everything at the bar. It would be a one-time experience kinda thing.

I had entered On The Rocks at 8:00 p.m. and provided my credit card to the bar to start a tab for my duration at this bar. Over the course of two hours at this establishment i had two mixed drinks and then for the subsequent 2 hours i had six more mixed drinks (a total of 8 “alcoholic” beverages). At midnight, i was fed up and left for good reason.
Unfortunately, the owner intentionally decided to not provide any alcohol in my drinks
I generously paid all $64 for the coca-cola i had consumed and my absence of a tip reflected the poor service
The owner confronted me before i left so that he could inquire about my $0 tip…
Owner: “Hey, what’s the matter? Did you not like the service?”
Me: “I’m sober.”
Owner: “What do you mean?”
Me: “I didn’t get drunk”
Owner: “That’s because you didn’t tip”
At this point I became aware of his “difficulties” I politely informed him that he had my credit card the entire time and that the tip would have come after he returned my card to me, however it still very much reflected the quality of the service given that i was overcharged for my coca-cola.
Upon him realizing that it would have been easier to dupe me had i actually been drunk, he scurried away akin to how vermin would. It was an awful sight to behold.

I came in today for the first time. I got the opportunity to meet Jay and I couldn’t even begin to say what an amazing human he is. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who would like a great meal or a genuine conversation with a great guy. I’ll be coming back very very soon!

I have known Jay and his amazing staff for over 20+ years. Very few places you get consistency as demonstrated here at On the Rocks. Food is great, staff dngage rehularly.
I live nearby to the venue and visit frequently. Jay, the owner, is absolutely 💯 lovely and is a great bartender. The vibe is good, the food is amazing, and the service is fantastic. The weekday specials for food and drinks are really good. The half priced calamari on Tuesdays is a great deal. There are drink specials $5-7 every day. Totally recommend... great for parties and a fun place to go.

On the rocks is a favourite meet up spot for the locals but also very popular karaoke destination for tourists as well. The staff are amazing. Jay and Nina know all the locals by name, are very welcoming and the kitchen and karaoke crew add to the warm atmosphere.

Always a good time at On The Rocks. Karaoke nights are legit fun, good energy, and just pure vibes. The food is amazing and they always have specials going on. Shoutout to Jay, he really takes care of people and you can tell he runs the place professionally with pride. Makes you feel welcome every time.
