    Fresh seafood
    Shelley R.

    Local recommended this place and I can see why. You're on the coast, so the sushi menu was not a surprise but for those who want something else, they have a regular menu to choose from as well. My partner and I opted for a selection from both to share so we could have a little bit of everything and the food was... acceptable. Nothing earth shattering to be honest. You could tell that this was a place the locals and tourists alike might frequent and the atmosphere was inviting. The real star was the pie from a local vendor and you cannot go wrong with their selection. a little something for everyone. The service was timely and friendly. Likely a place we will revisit when on the coast, but not something I'm planning a trip around.

    Between the two of us we wanted different things for dinner. BWC had a "regular" menu and a sushi menu, so it looked like it would fit the bill. We ordered a variety of things across both menus, as well as dessert. The quality of ingredients definitely leans in favor of the sushi menu, especially the soft shell crab. The nachos were what you'd expect from bar food, but twice as many chips as cheese sauce. The pies were excellent and probably the star of the meal. Why three stars? It would have been four based on variety and quality of food, but they charge an additional 3% to use a card vs cash. I get it, there's a credit card fee they pay that's a cost of doing business. Be honest, though, and bake that into your prices. Nickel and diming is a great way to lose a star every time.

    Somoa Girl Scout cookie inspired cheesecake!

    Found this place on Yelp and am so glad I tried it. The ribeye was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The fried okra was the best I have ever had. Oh and the somoa cheesecake was so delicious I could have licked the plate. I can't say enough about how great the waitress, Kati, was. She kept checking to ensure I had everything I needed. And the 3rd floor dining room has a great view of the area. Can't wait to come again!!

    Cucumber jalapeño martini

    I loooove this place. We've been coming here every year since 2020. This time, we ordered tuna tostados, shaggy dog sushi and the cucumber jalapeño martini (all recommended by the bartender). The tostados weren't great, but not bad either. I probably wouldn't get them again. The shaggy dog is a different story. I woke up the next morning still thinking about how good this sushi was- and I'm not a sushi fan. And the marg...so good I ordered two. And this isn't a cheap place. Deal with it. Make this your treat meal. And for the person that commented you have to walk up three flights of stairs...get over it. Get up there and enjoy a great meal.

    Tuna Tostadas are amazing and spicy
    Altovise L.

    This restaurant has a full hot kitchen menu and an entirely separate sushi menu. The tuna Tostadas are amazing and spicy so if you can't stand the heat don't order them. I had the blackened drum pontchartrain and it was a little bit spicy with the blackened seasoned on the drum fish. If you don't mind sitting outside you can bring your dog too.

    My wife and I finally got a date night in after about a year, and I took her to Rock & Rolls Sushi…read moreLounge after telling her about it for a while. We went on a Friday night without reservations, which felt like a gamble, but the off season timing and bad weather worked in our favor. We ended up grabbing two open seats at the sushi bar, which turned out to be the best spot in the house. Our waitress, Kaylee, was great. Friendly, attentive, and she knew the menu well. Drinks stayed full, food came out at a good pace, and she never interrupted the flow of our conversation. We started with a couple of hot apps. The pork gyoza, steamed and pan seared, was solid. But the torched wagyu stole the show. That's the kind of dish you think about later and fantasize about having again. Sitting at the bar made the experience. CJ was the sushi chef working in front of us and he brought a lot of positive energy to the night. He checked in with us, shared a few samples of rolls he was working on, and clearly enjoys what he does. It added a lot to the experience. We ordered the Stevie Ray, Rainbow Roll, Don't Fear the Reaper, and the Prodigy. Every roll was excellent. The Rainbow Roll is one of my favorite classic rolls. It's always been my go to at any sushi spot as it's simple and clean, which makes it a good test of quality, and this was one of the best I've had. The space looks great inside and has a solid atmosphere. The menu has a lot of great options, the rock and roll theme to the menu is fun, and the service continues to stand out. We'll be back. If you can grab a seat at the sushi bar when CJ is working, do it.

I specifically asked the waitress if the "oyshi set" was an assortment of different fish and she said yes it was. On the menu online, it is marked the wrong price as well as no it was not an assortment of the fish it was salmon, tuna, and a white fish, but not an assortment of everything that they had there. It's a total of $33 which is marketed incorrectly online. My waitress was not very friendly either so if I do go back, it will just be for a roll.
