    Steak au poivre and frites
    Van V.

    Excellent French food in the fabulous Rockefeller Center on a great evening. Feels welcoming and not stuffy. Started at the bar with good cocktails and very nice bartender. Service at table we moved to also excellent. The pea shoot salad is unique but should be more common--let's serve more sprouts again! Duck bolognese...more of that too. Fabulous escargot. My colleagues had mains of steak au poivre, a perfect piece of filet, and a pork chop. I had the French onion soup as my main--a great take on the classic and worth $24. Other restaurants in Rockefeller Center that I tried in last two years also doing it right. Le Rock really wonderful.

    Had such a great time here! Had a view of the tree in Rockefeller Plaza from our table! Service was fantastic, all our food was delish! Nice ambiance. Had the lobster, the filet, the burger, Grand Marnier soufflé, all so good! Would definitely come back again!

    Le Rock is legit. A place in Rockefeller center with all the tourists nearby has no business being this good. We went before a show at Radio City and loved early minute of it. The service teams kept water refilled. The decor was modern without being stuffy. And the food was delicious. We started with a pea shoot salad that was light and yet satisfying. A simple microgreens dish. And I got the bouillabaisse which had big chunks of fish and mussels. And a nice broth that was rich without being too thick. Perfect. Each dish was like this. Of course food this good in NYC goes with a price too. We were basically over $100 per person with a cocktail etc. but would I come here again? Yes and yes. Well done.

    My fiancé and I checked out Le Rock prior to going to a Broadway show. This was our first time really going out and getting French cuisine. I told them about my gluten allergy and the waiter was knowledgeable about which dishes were safe for me/ how to modify them. We started off with 1/2 a dozen oysters. They were delicious and fresh. Then, we ordered the escargot without the crouton. It was garlicky, fresh, and the escargot itself was very tender. Afterwards, we received the steak frites and the brook trout. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare. The fries were gluten free and were NOT in a shared fryer so that was awesome! The brook trout was flakey and so buttery, it was delicious. We would definitely come back again!

    Very high-standard and high-end French cuisine right next to the Rockefeller ice ring. Enjoyed all the appetizers and main dishes we ordered. The onion soup, rainbow trout, and the duck were outstanding. Service was very attentive. Many waiters came to refill the water and pick up the dishes. One even insisted to retake our photo so we could have the tree in the background.

    Haven't been so disappointed by a supposedly fancy restaurant in a while... The Agnolotti appetizer was the best part of the dinner - great flavor and consistency. My Heritage Chicken was okay - reasonable portions but some pieces were tougher than others. My friend said the duck breast was good. The Strawberry Rhubarb Soufflé is THE single worst dessert I've ever had. It was so ridiculously undercooked that the whole thing underneath was runny and watery.

    Bison Au Poivre

    I had this restaurant on my bucket list, and initially, I went because it was NYC Restaurant Week 2024. I had dinner with my friend. The ambiance is intimate, and people were a little more dressed up. We ended up ordering a la carte because there were some dishes I wanted to try. I ordered a rose and my friend went red. The server was knowledgeable of the food and drink options, but service was slow. We started with the escargots and agnolotti. The escargots were very herby compared to the ones we've had at other French restaurants. The agnolotti was very good and worth ordering. For the main entrées, we ordered the bison au poivre and heritage chicken. The bison was lean and filling, but the cost was steep for the quantity. The fries were good, though, and took those home. The chicken was very good, and the portion was generous. The cost of the chicken dish was on par with portion served. We had to skip dessert because we had a train/Uber ride to catch. I may return to this spot to try their duck dish or explore their prix fixe lunch menu.

    Halibut au vin jaune -  Spinash, Pommes Fondantes
    Nikki T.

    On a recent Saturday night, my friends and ventured to Le Rock for dinner. I always eyeball the menu before trying a new restaurant and I was all in for the spiced duck. It was some of the best duck that I've ever had. It was so flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. My friends and I started off with a few cocktails and appetizers. I ordered the escargot, and my friends the barbajuans, falafel, and carrottes rapees, and of course the pommes frites. For the main course, my friends went for the halibut. The three of them were all members of the clean-plate club. I love my desserts and I love it even more when I get a little taste of everything. Luckily for me the dessert menu has Les Mignardises. I ordered for the table thinking "hmmm...maybe one of my friends will pass and I'll get more!" There's nothing more fun for me than tiers of bite-sized sweet goodness. Lots of variety to make everyone happy (macarons, cannelés, fruit gelees, opera cake etc.) If you're stuffed from dinner, this will satisfy your sweet tooth without making you loosen that belt or wish you wore a flowy dress to dinner instead of that bodycon fit.

    The food and cocktails were wonderful, but service could've been better. I think our server was trying to emulate the French vibes a bit too much with his lackadaisical attitude. We were dressed for walking NYC when we decided to stop in for brunch and no issues with getting a table. I'd however describe the space as classy, especially for dinner.

    A friend and I had lunch at Le Rock before seeing a matinee on a Wednesday afternoon. We were seated promptly upon arrival and our waiter took our drink orders right away as well as asking if we had any time restraints. For lunch we shared the shredded carrot salad and a side of sautéed spinach and we each ordered the omelette. My friend and I are both egg lovers and this omelette was cooked PERFECTLY. Really and truly so delicious. Wonderful light lunch in a beautiful dining room with grade A service.

    Le Rock - Halibut over Spinach with Potatoes
    Jeff D.

    I had expected a far more pedestrian place when I heard about Le Rock in Rockefeller Center. That idea was immediately quashed upon entry. A classy ambience provided quiet assurance, this will be a great meal. I wasn't sure what to order. Everything looked interesting. My server/bartender must have sensed apprehension and jumped in with much needed guidance. He steered me toward the Tete de Cochon served with a crusty beard, this acidic and savory terrine was great. I might never have ordered the Leek Vinaigrette and that would have been unfortunate. Loved the tart and tangy mixed with the roasted en croute leeks. The Halibut served over spinach with potatoes was beautiful and so tasty. Simply a treat. I finished with the Profiterole, excellent. I'm glad I stopped here and I'm also glad the server was so knowledgeable. The combo made for a memorable evening.

    Escargots Bourguignons
    Josephine L.

    As mentioned in my previous reviews, I've been following the so-called revival effort of Rockefeller Center with some interest. And by follow, I mean eat. Some places have been great. Others have been eh. NGL, I was genuinely expecting Le Rock to be eh, despite the recent hype. French fare is always so...extra. It's either obnoxiously rich or ridiculously overpriced, and more often than not, it's both. Well, Le Rock is date night pricey, but not Michelin-starred pricey, and the food is only rich in the sense of bursting with flavor. We. Loved. It. For classic pate and carbs, you are well-served with the Cervelle de Canut and Chicken Liver Mousse to start your meal. I don't think I've ever seen Barbajuans on a French menu outside of France, so major props to Team Le Rock for serving this overlooked appetizer. They were fried to perfection. The Beignets Brandade de Morue were equally perfect, so savory I think I cried a little when the plate was empty. The squeamish will avoid the Tablier de Sapeur because it says "tripe" on the menu, but they're fools who don't deserve good French food because this is a rare gem in the world of American French dining--a Lyonnaise specialty presented in perfect crispness with perfectly creamy sauce. Similarly, the squeamish (and jaded) will avoid the Escargots Bourguignons, but these were some of the best snails I've had, topped with a wonderful almond flour disc. The Rigatoni Duck Bolognaise was rich fowl umami--so good, it should be upgraded to entree size, and so good, it puts most pasta restaurants to shame. The Steak Haché was filling without being overdone. I think the one dud of our meal was the very photogenic Leeks Vinaigrette--by all means, 'gram this dish in all its unwrappable glory, but the end result is kind of anticlimactic and too tart. And I love leeks. Fortunately, dessert made up for that. The much-touted Baba aux Muses Verte is as moist and pillowy as you'd expect, but I'd skip the alcohol drizzle unless you have a problem. However, the Baba was easily surpassed by the fantastic Rhubarb Nougat Glacé aux Pistaches, which was perfectly semi-frozen and bursting with herbal, nutty flavor.

    What a great restaurant! We went in after being renovated and had a wonderful time. French waitress was wonderful. Drinks were delicious and good was out of this world. Great welcoming vibes. Thank you!

I was warmly greeted by the gentleman at the door (5 service there), which set a great first impression. However, as soon as I walked downstairs, it felt like the space had lost its speakeasy vibe. I was seated right near the stairs and could feel cold air from outside every time the door opened, which made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised to see how much the cocktail menu had been reduced. When I asked about it, the response was that "the place changed a lot." That's fair -- places evolve -- but instead of highlighting the improvements or new strengths, the explanation focused negatively on what the bar used to be. As someone who really enjoyed the former version, that wasn't reassuring. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves didn't make up for it. One of the two cocktails was simply not good. No one came back to check on the drinks, and when I asked for the check after about 20 minutes, there was no acknowledgment that I had barely touched mine or any inquiry about my experience. Overall, a place I once enjoyed and recommended now feels more like a standard dive bar where " Mixologist " were replaced by bartender and were fun cool looking and tasty drinks were replaced by " less complex cocktail ", lacking the warmth and attention to detail that once made it special.

Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.
