The server did a great job with making sure that our drinks were filled, and we had to go boxes and brought our food out in a timely manner. Some of the appetizer choices were the calamari, fried kale and crab claw lollipops. All three were absolutely outstanding, and the portions were large. For dinner, our choices are rockfish, lobster, mac & cheese, filet mignon, or grilled chicken green curry. Again, the portion sizes were large and everyone enjoyed their meals. We were able to choose from a flourless chocolate torte or cheesecake. I forgot to mention that the Caesar salad was so fresh and the dressing was outstanding. I would like to come back and experience the restaurant and their entire menu. The upstairs had a fun, urban feel with a fireplace and a cool bar. We felt comfortable and it was a fun vibe.

If you're looking for a coastal escape in the middle of PA, Rockfish Public House is the spot. Ever…read moresince they opened in 2016, they've been the gold standard for fresh seafood in downtown York. It's got that elevated "public house" vibe--stylish enough for a date but relaxed enough for a casual weekday hang. The Oyster Happy Hour The absolute best way to experience this place is their Oyster Happy Hour. It's arguably the best deal in town and a total magnet for the after-work crowd. The Deal: Usually running until 6:00 PM, you get "happy hour on the half shell" pricing that makes indulging in a dozen (or two) actually affordable. The Variety: They don't just stick to one house oyster; they typically rotate through boutique selections from the East Coast, so you can really compare the salinity and finishes. The BBQ Shrimp While the raw bar gets a lot of love, you have to try the BBQ Shrimp Skewer. These aren't your average grilled shrimp; they come bacon-wrapped with a perfect glaze and a hit of cheddar. It's smoky, savory, and exactly the kind of rich appetizer you want to pair with a cold craft beer. The Verdict Rockfish has been a cornerstone of George Street for nearly a decade for a reason. Whether you're a seasoned oyster connoisseur or you're just there for the seafood nachos and a smash burger, the quality is consistently top-tier. Pro Tip: It gets crowded fast during that happy hour window, so try to snag a spot at the first-floor bar early!

My wife had the fish and chips. Food was good and plentiful. Service was very good, ate with some old friends, there was no rush, they gave us plenty of space. The menu is varied, specials are not typical fare, but also do not become science projects like so many "creations" do. The food is left to speak for itself. Affordable. Two small criticisms, can be loud in certain areas. They are very accommodating in moving you. The parking lot. Walking over the bridge can be an issue with cars. Worth the trip.

The French onion soup is unlike any version you've had before--made with onion rings instead of the…read moretraditional slow-caramelized onions. It sounds bold, and it is, but it works beautifully. The broth is rich and deeply savory, the cheese pull is perfect, and the crispy rings add a texture you never knew the classic was missing. The pork chop remains the star of the menu--huge, expertly seasoned, and cooked with precision. It's widely considered the best in the city, and honestly might be the best in the state. Juicy, tender, and full of flavor, it's the kind of entrée you end up recommending to friends for weeks. Their octopus is another standout, prepared with surprising delicacy. Tender, not chewy, with a perfect char that adds just the right amount of smokiness. It's balanced, refined, and one of the most memorable small plates you'll find locally. And don't leave without dessert--the crème brûlée is phenomenal. Silky smooth custard under a flawlessly torched sugar crust that cracks just right. Simple, classic, and executed perfectly. Between the inventive dishes and the warm atmosphere, The First Post remains a must-visit for anyone who loves great food done exceptionally well.

Both were delicious, the deep fried brie especially - would highly recommend getting it. Both the brie and bread paired very well with their butter and jam. The main course took a very long time after getting our appetizers. But they came cooked nicely. I ordered a medium rare steak and the inside was very close to medium rare, perhaps a little more on the medium side, but seasoned perfectly. They also have a nice drink menu. Taking a star off because of lack of parking validation (there is a nearby garage that charges $2 per hour) and how long it took for our main course to come out (~1 hour from getting our appetizers for only a party of 4). But overall this is a nice place for a date or business dinner.

It was pretty good. It came with one side and I chose the potato of the day which was steak fries. They were good, well seasoned. I'd have liked to have a few more though. This meal earned 3.5 stars from me. DH had fish and chips. He said the fish was not as good as he's had at other local places. He said the fries were soggy. I tasted the fish and it was good but nothing special. He'd give his meal 3 stars. Others in the group said the Alfredo sauce was only ok; the Chesapeake chicken was ok; the side veg of the day( stewed squash) was Jess than ok; the salmon got thumbs up from two diners. Overall it looks like 3 stars but my wrap was good and the service was terrific, so I amped up to 4. Thanks for the great service, but, I look forward to better food when I dine out.
