Ribeye Steak
Alison A.

The best steak I've ever had! The ribeye was humongous and could easily be split between two people. The sear on it was amazing. I would also recommend their oysters as well!

Where do I start. I came to Yelp to find a vintage NYC steakhouse. Five stars, outstanding reviews, and that old school cherry wood paneling lead me here. We were not disappointed. Our reservations were for 4:30 pm, we arrived early. I was prepared to sit at the bar, until our reservations. However, the gracious hostess offered an opportunity to be seated, that I couldn't refuse. We ordered drinks, the OG Espresso Martini and Rocco's Martini. The strong OG Espresso Martini with vodka, Kahlua, and fresh frothy espresso was a huge hit! After a half dozen plump and tasty oysters on half shells with Tabasco sauce for appetizers, we were ready for the main course. A thick, juicy, dry-age Porterhouse steaming, hot steak arrived. It was one huge and juicy steak, big enough for two people. One half was served rare and the other half arrived medium rare, with thick steak cut French Fries. The steak was big enough of two people and we still had a significant portion to take home. The dark cherrywood panels in the dining room, gave this vintage-old-school-New-Yawk-feel. Get the steak sauce. Pricey, yes but it's Midtown Manhattan in the city that never sleeps. Worth EVERY penny. I'm sooooo impressed. Happy Birthday Boo.

As a hungry vegetarian who planned a large outing with steak eaters: 1. Rocco's is easy to find as it is across the street from Whole Foods 2. The place is spacious 3. Easy to make a RSVP via open table 4. Coat check - please dont forget to tip the coat lady 5. The chef was able to accomodate something special for a vegetarian - a delicious pasta dish with lots of veggies 6. Friend's dishes: steak varied from 8 oz to 24 oz (that jump); good lentil soup; delicious looking sides 7. Festive place - when someone's birthday - waiters sang a little opera of sorts 8. Great dessert platter had: carrot cake, cheesecake, another cake quickly eaten, melon, grapes, and lots of whipped cream. The dessert platter was very popular by all.

Crab Cake

Wow! What an amazing establishment. The service is top-tier and the food was amazing. Our waiter Almir was so pleasant and helpful. The entire waitstaff paid great attention to detail. Everyone was very personable. The crab cake was really good. It came with mixed greens which had a nice dressing on them. Two people in my party got salads for their appetizers and the salads were huge. You can definitely share a salad so you will still have room for your entree. For the entree I got the Chilean sea bass. Almir suggested trying it with a sauce and shrimp. Truthfully, the red sauce was such a game changer and an amazing recommendation. The Chilean sea bass was moist and flaked perfectly. The sauce went really well with the sea bass. The shrimp were a pleasant addition. For sides we got: sautéed spinach, German potatoes, and sautéed mushrooms. The sides were good as well. We were celebrating a birthday and anniversary. The waitstaff surprised us with singing happy birthday and brought out a dessert platter. The dessert platter had: tartuffo, carrot cake, cheesecake, chocolate cake, melon, grapes, and whipped cream. The dessert platter was great. I highly recommend this restaurant and I look forward to returning soon!

Came here for a work dinner and thought it was overall a good place. Service was professional and they took good care of us. Since this was a work dinner, we had a fixed menu except for our entrees. We started with a seafood tower, which was okay. The standout to me was the lump crab mean...I really liked that. There was nothing wrong with any of the shrimp, lobster, etc but it didn't jump out at me as above average. I had a bone-in ribeye for my main. On par with good ribeyes I have had. Cooked well and great flavor. It was so big I ate it for three meals! Sides were decent...lobster mac and cheese was okay but I liked the spinach and mashed potatoes in particular. Desserts were okay. Cheesecake was pretty tasty as was tiramisu. I wasn't paying so I have to say I enjoyed it but checking out the menu, it's on par for a steakhouse in Manhattan, which is to say, it's not cheap. My cocktail (old fashioned) was okay, but I like when a place uses one big ice cube because when it's made with a lot of little cubes, it gets watered down fast so from a drinks perspective, it was just so-so. The space is nice and one thing I did like was that it wasn't as crazy loud as some steakhouses are, so you could actually hear people across the table. It wasn't a library, but I appreciated the sound level. If you are a fan of typical Manhattan steak houses, you'll like Rocco.

Porterhouse and sautéed mushrooms in Marsala wine sauce. Very tasty.

Very enjoyable experience last night. Took a few co-workers here for a real estate closing dinner, and it lived up to my hopes. Overall a great steakhouse that will be added to my rotation. I've been to many different places in the city and some places several times, such as Wolfgang's, Luger, and Striphouse. I wanted to try something new so did some perusing on yelp as well as google and this one came highly rated. I can certainly see why. Vodka martini was very solid, nothing wrong and also nothing amazing. For food we started off with a crabcake, baked clams, bacon, and tomato/onion app. The best was the crab cake by far, but the others were still solid. I personally can go the rest of my life without the tomato/onion app at any steakhouse but I was over-ruled. The porterhouse and the sides were exceptional. I'd say if these were only solid/average, it would be probably be a 3.5/4 star review. But the main course stood out as delicious. The German potatoes were the best I've had anywhere, and the vegetables incredibly well-seasoned without being too salty. Most side dishes had fresh slices of sautéed garlic which I loved. The porterhouse was on par with Wolfgang's and Luger. Dry-aged, sizzling in a piping hot plate of butter/meat juice. Couldn't be happier when it was all finished. And then we got a tray of free dessert which was a great touch. Service was also 5/5. Will be coming back.

Very good.... Really

We had a very nice time at Rocco's Steakhouse early on a Saturday night in late May. We walked down from the theater stopping in both Keene's and Wolfgangs, not feeling the vibe. A quick search with positive reviews led us down a few more blocks to Rocco's. We were greeted like regulars or family, very warm & inviting. The room is dim, no music, I didn't notice flowers and the tables 100% would benefit both functionally & ambiance wise, from some type of lighting/candle/USB charged lantern. I could not read my menu and my flashlight app was annoyingly bright. I get that the table quickly filled up with plates, but the extra decoration of light would be nice. Service was beyond exceptional. You will not feel like a stranger or like you might not belong. No one here will bark at you like some old fashioned steak houses. We learned that most of the staff is from the Balkan region in Europe (Montenegro, Croatia) and this explains the warm hospitality that the region and people are known for. The sirloin came out sizzling, the sides of mushrooms & spinach were top of the line and plentiful. I had a burger and took 1/2 home. The carrot cake was delicious, plate adorned with a nice slice of cantaloupe and grapes which made me laugh.. so not a NYC thing to do but such a nice gesture. Lee took 1/2 of the steak home, next time we may just share something and go heavy on the sides. I've eaten creamed spinach since I'm a kid and this was the best we've had. The mushrooms too. Perfection. Our Hendricks Martini & Manhattan straight up were perfectly made and reasonable. I noticed that there were large tables of families, round tables I must add, which is something that is a must with a larger group so that no-one is stuck at the ends. All different shades & shapes of people, all different ages which differs from the banker look that can often be the demographics elsewhere. We liked it !! I'd recommend Rocco' for sure.

Just ate at Rocco's for a Christmas get together and was amazing ! Steak was perfect and bacon that out of this world . The other guest had chicken parm that was one of the most perfect looking chicken parms I had ever seen . I would definitely return to Rocco's and highly recommend it

Crab Cake
muhammad A.

Went to Rocco's Steakhouse for lunch....beautiful decor, the staff was great! When I was seated I started looking at the menu and thought....let me splurge a little, I saw they had King Crab as an Appetizer and then get the Bone in Filet Minion when the waiter came by he looked me up and down(I was in a polo work shirt, and khakis) and said sir I would like to inform you the king crab is 165 dollars a lbs. I was floored....the poor people look was all over my face lol. I was like sir, I've had a change of heart, can you get me the 19.99 crab cake special as an appetizer . Anyhow long story short....steak was eh, crab cakes were full of filling and no crab so I was underwhelmed about the whole meal. If you do go there please pick up pieces of my rich man ego because it shattered and was left on the floor there lol. All and all it wasn't the worst, but definitely wasn't the best.

10/10 service. Wait staff wipes the first steak bites on the edge of sizzling plate then dips it in the beef rendered butter.

The tile on the floor to the sconces hanging from the walls. The bar is a beautiful scene for a backdrop for photos, but more importantly than any of that is the service provided.

The whipped ricotta was great, a good balance of sweet and even some spice on tasty bread. The mushroom pizza was tasty as well. I got the heritage pork chop, and it felt a little magical. I've only had a couple of times enjoying pork chops - this one seems like it should be tough, but somehow it works? I don't know how to explain it. The sausage and sauce somehow complemented the dish. I got a side of corn, which was not heavy at all, despite the macaroons. Not creamed corn at all; this was tasty too although not a must get. Finally, got the tiramisu again and despite the 4 of us sharing, there were still leftovers. I forgot how good it is here - full espresso flavor and the cream has more flavor and fullness.

We arrived at 5:30pm on a weekday for our reservation and to my surprise, almost every table was taken! They have a few locations throughout the city but the menus are more or less the same. I started with a Hugo Spritz which was light & refreshing but not the best I've had. We shared a Margherita Neopolitan Style Pizza which had a super thin & tender crust, fresh tomatoes and basil, and delicious cheese. Pretty solid start! The Whipped Ricotta was somehow better and I absolutely loved the creaminess of the ricotta along with the truffle honey. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts were charred beautifully and was a nice vegetable to have on the table. Even the Zucchini Fries were so well-made! They could be "prettier" but the flavor and crunch is definitely there. The rigatoni was so fantastic but the chicken parm itself could have been crispier and more seasoned. We ended with the Tiramisu for Two which is easily feeds 4 people. This is an absolute must to end the meal! I can see why this spot is so popular and glad I finally got to pop my LPB cherry!

I had inquired earlier about dress attire and was told loose business casual which we found was correct when we saw patrons dressed in blue jeans and tennis shoes. We were seated immediately in the dimly lite dinning area. Upper walls are decorated/drapped with rugs which is a good idea for sound deadening. Lighting is very dim which made our menu reading a little trying. Our waitress was right with us asking what type of water we wanted. We got that settled and then ordered some drinks. We did not order any appetizer as we had been walking City munching thru the day. My wife ordered chicken meatballs over a pasta, broccolini, tomato field. The meatballs were stuffed with mozzerella cheese. Her dish was very flavorful. I ordered crispy chicken pieces with sweet/spicy sauce and buttermilk aoili. This dish was very good as chicken stayed crispy as the sauce was poured on plate before chicken. The waitress and chef were accomodating to a slight food tolerance re: the pepper flakes which were to be on her plate. Our waitress checked on us several times during our stay. BTW, we were celebrating an anniversary, which I let them know ahead, and we were presented with a card congratulating us. We had a comfortable time and would return.
