I've been coming to Rochambeau for about 2 years now and over that time I have tried nearly every cocktail on the menu, as well as dozens off the menu and I've yet to be disappointed.I'm continually impressed by the creativity and deep knowledge of the Rochambeau crew. When I first started coming here, I thought I hated most kinds of spirits, but they have completely changed my opinion on just about everything for the better.As far as the food goes, words don't cut it. Some of the absolute best bites I've had in my life have been at Rochambeau. With a rapidly changing menu, there's always something new to try, and the portions are quite generous too.The atmosphere is great, the music selection is always fun, and it's a vibrant place to socialize with locals and people passing through alike. The crew are all cool as hell, unpretentious, and extremely good at what they do. It's incredible what 4 (now 3) individuals pulling together in the same direction can put out night after night.Cool bar!
I went into this place not knowing what to expect, and wow… was it unlike anything else. Their cocktail menu is otherworldly, I didn’t know a single ingredient they used - but I loved it all. And their food menu… I don’t know how they do it, but they do it. With a name like Rochambeau I was ready for some rock paper scissors, I went in hoping for checkers, but in the end, this place was a checkmate. 10/10

Sadly, we could be an anomaly.We walked in, and they were slammed. We hit a time where there was lots of turn-over. We were softly greeted at the door that read “Please wait to be seated”.We were given the option of high top tables, which were just being cleared. We scanned the QR code, found our desired drinks, promptly ordered, and waited. Four different “obviously local couples” entered. The bartender was clearly excited to see them. This slowed everything down. We were checked in on by another employee. We told him we had already ordered. We waited. I ordered a mystery shot; my husband ordered the CornHub. Two other couples’ drinks were ready before ours.We were much more under-dressed than the previous clientele.I don’t generally worry about this, but I’m not sure why we were overlooked and set aside.I’m hoping we hit a low spot in your evening and you were just working to recover from a busy rush of people. We just ended up being in the bubble of catch-up. Bummer, Rochambeau.Awesome name.We were excited to visit your establishment. We threw scissors; you threw paper.No returning for us.

Service is horrible if you’re not a regular. Ordered 2 drinks and took almost 30 minutes to get them because the bartender was busy sucking up to some regulars.
Laura McFadyen
Wow. Incredible. The food is phenomenal. The drinks are fantastic. I haven't had a bad drink, plate, or time here. Friendly service, bartenders and ever changing menu makes this a spot you can go again and again with a new experience every time. Also really cool to see the co owners/chefs/bartenders all swapping out in each position.

A friend and I stopped here to pre-game before a concert and even though they were busy we got great service. We were in and out quickly and our bartender David recommended an awsome drink that was Indian Curry inspired. Strongly recommend stopping here if you're in the area.

This is always my first recommendation to friends and family when they come visit. The guys know their stuff and make amazing cocktails. Tried many many things and each one has been incredible.
Intimate and courteous experience for a great experience.

Cozy, cute, thoughtful spot for cocktails very close to the climate pledge arena.We came here after the Deathcab/Postal Service show.Service was really good and the cocktails were really thoughtful.Only bummer are the prices: they're kinda high. And the closing time: it's kinda early.Still, if you are waiting out traffic after a big show...this is THE place you should be.

David, Emelio, and Connor are all excellent people! They make incredible cocktails and magical dishes. I ordered their Winter Squash, and with very limited experience eating squash I can now say I'm a huge fan of squash! I've never been disappointed by the food or drink from this place. Can't recommend it enough!

Wow this place left us impressed. We’d been meaning to stop in forever and it finally worked out. The food was incredible, the drinks are unique, fun and delicious and the owners were so friendly. Plus I have celiac and they knew exactly how to handle everything to keep things gluten free and not have any cross contamination. We’re definitely coming back!Dietary restrictions: Celiac, gluten free

Wow, the food and drinks here were amazing. I was worried it would be too trendy to have good food, but the food... Wow. The atmosphere is trendy while also feeling comfortable, which is a hard line to walk, and the staff were incredible. I only saw three, which meant about a 1:10 staff ratio, and that meant I was sure everything would be slow but it was so fast. Really fantastic experience and we'll definitely be back.
