Sat at the bar with a nice lady. Wish I got her name, but she did a great job! She was informative, friendly, and a great bar tender. Started with some Brut Rose which was nice and refreshing. It's a beautiful bar and a great place to grab a drink with a business partner or friend. Got the lobster roll for lunch. The lobster is fresh and they are generous with the portions. Really really good. Overall, impressed with this place and will be returning! :) read more

Atmosphere was great. Food was great here's where it went wrong The valet gave my car away to a couple. Luckily I caught it just as they were pulling away. When I called the manager of Rocco's he brushed me off and said it wasn't his responsibility they are a different company and put me through to the young man who said it wasn't his fault. The couple got in my car and thought it was theirs. The valet never looked at the number, it was totally his fault and the manager of the restaurant totally brushed me off. Not good business in my opinion read more

Great food one of the best steaks and lobster I've ever had service was excellent ambience was not good. Air conditioner was not working like it should be in a high-end restaurant like that. Also when I called to make a dinner reservation, the gentleman said no shorts I saw at least 10 guys at the restaurant with shorts on, thank you Joe S. read more

My father was buried at the Washington Crossing National Cemetery, and we were looking for a place to host the post-ceremony luncheon. Even on extremely short notice, I was able to work with Alex to arrange my luncheon. He was incredibly kind and responsive, calling me himself because his events manager was not available and insisting that I correspond with him on his personal cell phone so that he made sure to see my messages. We worked out the details via text and a handful of phone calls. His staff called me the day before to confirm the arrangements. The actual event itself was wonderful. The staff gave us use of the main dining room, so we had our own private space where we could have people speak and could mill around without bothering other diners. The restaurant itself is classy, with dark wood and that old feel of many historic steakhouses. Alex mentioned they had a projector and I created a slide show to play on my ipad. When the time came, the staff did not have the right cord to connect an ipad to the projector. I was terribly disappointed but after spending about half an hour trying to make it work, I was resigned to give up and simply play the slideshow on my ipad. However one of the employees - I believe the manager - ran right out to a store and purchased the right cord. He was back in a jiffy with it and surprised me by plugging it in and hooking up the slideshow much to my delight and that of our guests. Everyone really enjoyed the slideshow and I really appreciated the thoughtfulness and above and beyond measures. It really meant a lot to me. And the food was superb. Everything was delicious. We received many compliments about our choose of venue and the food. The temperatures were all perfect, which is not easy when you're doing hot apps, cold apps and to-order entrees. My steak was absolutely spot on perfection. Finally, I can't say enough about the staff. They did their jobs well and were so kind and respectful to our group. From everyone to the valet to the manager, each person we encountered was great. I appreciated that they came and asked me if they should start serving appetizers before my uncle was done speaking. And then I was even more impressed that the hot apps were still hot when they were served. Many thanks to Alex and the staff at Rocco's for a memorable and flawless event. read more

anyone planning a event at this place DONT the one owner is a P.O.S my daughter booked a rehearsal dinner there for 40 people not a bad price but two weeks before the event they wanted to double the price because they said there was a minimum charge of 3500 witch is ridiculous they never mentioned a minimum charge , then someone made a call to someone there and they said she could have it there now , so a week goes bye and my daughter was going to meet the event organizer between 10:30 and 4:30 and if she could she would try to make it by Noon which she couldn't and the woman called and said the owner doesn't want her rehearsal dinner there because my daughter isn't organized and that is bullshit , the establishment is supposed to communicate with the client now we have to find another venue with less then a week to rehearsal what a joke , bad business i'm going to post a bad review every week for the next year and everyone i know is going to do the same , im a business owner my self and and if i ever got a bad review i would do everything possible to make it right ! read more

We visited Rocco's for the first time on 8/7/19 with a friend. It's been about 12-14 years since we ate at what had been known simply as The Brick Hotel. The place looked great, we were seated and served quickly. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The glazed bacon appetizer was amazing! All three of us enjoyed our entrees thoroughly (chicken, scallops and salmon). For a steak house to do so well on non-steak entrees is a welcome change of pace in my experience. Overall, it was an extremely positive experience. The only flaw was the very scenic indoor porch seating. The noise volume became almost overwhelming at one point. If you hope to have an enjoyable conversation with your dinner companions at Rocco's, do not let them seat you on the glass enclosed porch, pretty though it may seem. Otherwise, this was a great first experience. I hope to return soon. P.S. Free valet parking- especially in last night's downpour- was a welcome surprise. read more

came here for father's day dinner and honestly.. can't complain about a thing! i made a reservation and we were immediately seated when we arrived. nothing better than being rewarded for being proactive for making a reservation! we started with some drinks and oysters which were delicious. our meals were flawless. most of us got the steak while my mom got the crabcake and lobster which was amazing. everything was cooked perfectly and so tasty. even the smallest thing such as the mashed potatoes, had such a good combination of creamy and horseradish, i'm obsessed! the bill was $$$ but i think the quality matched the price. will def be back again! read more

Enjoyed my dining experience from beginning to end. The filet mignon, which came with a salad and baked potato were excellent. The service was perfect.

Rocco's - Side of chopped Greek salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

Had a grad for 10 dinner booked over a month in advance. Rocco's called me the day of (while we were at the graduation) to inform me there was construction being done to the kitchen. They claimed they called me a few days ago...and that's untrue. No missed calls, no voicemails...and I got the reservation text confirm the day before the rez. Now I am scrambling. They also were not willing to do anything to attempt to keep my business, even though I frequent their establishment for business meals and family meals. "Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do." Be careful booking anything important here. They might pull the rug on you too. Good news is there's more options opening that might be more buttoned up with their customer service. Good luck, Rocco's, you're going to need it. read more

Food took forever to come out - 2 hour wait for steak. We heard the kitchen staff cursing from our table. When we spoke to manager about the timing of our food, then told us the kitchen had to recook a rare steak. No one ordered a rare steak! Then we were told it takes a while to cook medium rare steaks ?! No one refilled our waters - The general manager was wearing jeans and flannel and when we spoke to him it looked liked we bothered him. He did offer free desserts - didn't want to wait another hour for them. The restaurant was not crowded - not fine dining ! we would have been better off going to outback read more

Great service from Alicia, and the food was really good! I got a filet french dip sandwich, best I've ever had. Husband got a lobster roll and that as well he said really good! Drinks also were very tasty. Price is fair for what they are serving. read more

We arrived at 7:30 and sat at 8:30 to eat. Hostess forgot to log us in. They eventually sat us but in the tent (outside) in the walking path to the parking lot. Appetizers were good. Entrees: My wife's filet wasn't seasoned and they served her two small potatoes (in lieu of a baked one). I had a cowboy special that was aged and grilled perfect with spinach. Good thing because people next to us were told they were out of both steak specials and baked potatoes! The drinks were delicious but a bit overpriced. So much for ambiance and calling ahead. I'm over it already. Next... read more

Roccos is the fancy local place on the corner that looks absolutely divine. They have valet parking if you choose to do so. The outside is full of beautiful landscaping and fire pits. The inside has a lovely rustic charm. From looks alone this place gets 5 stars. The staff is very friendly and make sure you are taken care of. The menu is full of variety. We enjoyed our salad, filet mignon, risotto, bacon ect. Very tasty, great flavor, good prices for what you get. I would come again read more

Roccos is my favorite date night restaurant in the area (we have been living here for 8 years). I can't believe I've never reviewed this place but it's great. Our favorite is the French onion soup, Caesar salad, the filet mignon, truffle fries (however they recently changed the truffle fries I preferred the old ones! - they are like chip shaped now) and creme brûlée dessert. Great ambiance inside and out, always get great service. Highly recommend! read more

Birthday celebration. Service was truly horrible. Food saves it- however if you combine service with food- avoid. Server was arrogant at best. Super slow for beverages. Forgot to get our main courses. Forgot the birthday celebration even after 3 reminders. Never once showed any concern or apologized. 1 hour between dishes with zero communication why. Maybe to go is the way to go! Service matters. If kitchen or bar is having an issue- that's ok - just communicate - so not to make your clients search out staff repeatedly and go to front desk to just get an idea of what is going on after every other staff member shrugged shoulders of don't know to where your server was. read more

Birthday dinner at Rocco's this week, inside dining. We had a lovely meal: 5 star drinks, 4-5 star food, plenty Covid safe. Drinks: excellent cocktails by the bartender-precise, tasty, generous- a nice wine, solid after dinner selections. Food: our appetizers were remarkable- ahi tuna poke and jumbo lump crab cocktail. Both were clearly thought through, and the flavors popped without overwhelming the tuna and crab. The salads that come with your meal are the exact opposite of the apps: standard, cheap, and bland. Next time, I'm not wasting stomach space on this salad. Our entrées were delicious: twin veal Oscar and prime rib special. Both cooked perfectly, well executed, and tasty to the last bite. Dessert: crème brûlée- good plus, but could be perfected. Berries? More vanilla? Bourbon? Add a note of something. Also, it's big. I'm glad we split it. Overall: mostly a 5 star food scene, with some moments of 4ness and the salad at a 1. Also, please turn the fire pits outside down a bit. I thought my hair was going to catch fire just walking by. read more

Food was pretty good. Not great. Lobster in the lobster salad was chewy. Service was very slow. We waited for 15+ minutes just to place an order and another 25 for the food. Im not complaining about that. We were on dessert when a man who was not our server came out and said "you need to leave. There are other people waiting". He was really rude in his tone. Our sever didn't say anything about anyone waiting and the people on both sides of us got there very shortly after we did. Even if another party was waiting, he could have said it in a nicer way. For example: "Hey I'm sorry interrupt but we do have a limit x time per table and there's another party waiting, so I wanted to see if there anything else you need before I close out your tab". We got the baked cookie and it was raw liquid in the skillet, like a soup. We asked for it to be redone. it was the only complaint during the whole meal. We got our check from our server and put the $ Inside. While waiting for it to get picked up, the guy came back again and barked "I've told you 3x now! You need to leave". We were waiting for the card to be processed and had been waiting on slow service the whole time. It was really bizarre. I've never been treated that way in a restaurant, ever. read more

Always love coming here. Everything I've had was amazing. Steak tender, oysters fresh, and soup and salads are delicious. A Newtown gem. read more

Okay, so the oka e is beautiful now, clean and def upscale. Along with that the food is great. However, they are so overpriced it's almost like eating in the city. 1 Belvedere on the rocks was $17.50!! Are you effing kidding me? After 2 i paid for a while bottle. Don't go if you're not planning on spending LOTS of money. Shame...Rocco, cut people some slack on something. The drinks would be the easiest way. Alcohol prices have NOT risen like everything else.. stop gouging. read more

I pass by this restaurant all the time when I am on my way home from the gym. I always see the outdoor seating packed, so I thought I would try the food out. Unfortunately, the place is beautiful on the outside, but that's about as far as the good things go. When you arrive, you are required to do valet parking. The food here is hit or miss. I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone, nor will I be back. We made the mistake of sitting outside for our 4:15 PM reservation. We were also told that there was an hour-and-a-half limit to our stay. First off, the waitress Heather was inattentive for the entire duration of our meal. Although we were told that there was a 1.5 hour time limit, we ended up being there for close to 2 hours, due to the inattentiveness of the waitress and the fact that the appetizer took 1 hour to arrive, and then the food took another hour to arrive. And it wasn't even worth the wait in the end! Well, the Creole shrimp appetizer was really good, and so was the seafood boil... They were both specials for the evening. All of the other food was not so good. I asked Heather for a Sprite more than 3 times before I got it, 45 minutes later. I had to ask another waiter for the drink, and he said he would remind her! Absolutely ridiculous. For the entrées, as mentioned, the seafood boil was great, and was also the most expensive item of the night at $39. We also got the New England lobster roll and the crispy chipotle chicken sandwich. The New England lobster roll was okay. It wasn't anything amazing or special for the $26 that it cost. Now, on to the crispy chipotle chicken sandwich, which was the worst thing I ate tonight and probably the worst thing I ate in months. It was absolutely the worst chicken sandwich I have ever had in my life. I'm really not sure how it made its way onto the menu. The apple slaw combined with the honey-chipotle glaze was sweet in a disgusting way. The entire thing was just a nightmare visually; as you can see from the pictures, the apple slaw looks like straight up worms. Ewww. Then comes the poor customer service. Our party of three each tried a tiny bite of the chicken sandwhich and all of us hated it and no one wanted to eat it. We expressed this to Heather, who merely said "sorry" and still charged us for it on the bill. $14 for something we did not enjoy and did not eat? No thanks. So, I had to go through two other employees and finally make my way to the manager, who took the chicken sandwich off the bill. I should not have had to go through two employees and the manager to have the sandwich taken off the bill. It should have immediately been taken off when I expressed to Heather that NONE of us wanted it and it was awful. Poor customer service is a killer for restaurants. I've eaten at much fancier restaurants where a $70 dish was taken off the bill right away because it was not good... Customer service done right in that case. But in this case, they lost a customer for life. Bad food AND bad customer service? I won't be back. read more

The restaurant is lovely to look at. We were in the small glassed-insection and it was cozy, looking out at the fire pit in the tent outside. I ordered a fancy passionfruit martini. However.... The food came way too quickly and the bar was backed up, so I canceled my cocktail. I had ordered the beet salad with grilled chicken on the side. The chicken breast was not fully cooked and totally put me off eating it, so I didn't want to have them cook it more. Our kind waiter, Dorian, took it off the bill. The beet salad was delicious. My husband ordered the apple pecan salad and thought it was very good. He also ordered wings with BBQ dry rub. There was nothing BBQ-flavored about them. They were deep fried. They were also SO PAINFULLY SALTY that I couldn't stand the bite I tried. My husband forced himself to eat them. We decided to order the skillet chocolate chip cookie dessert to save the evening. We luckily asked for the ice cream on the side. I ate the ice cream. The "cookie" was a 1/4" layer of very hot but raw, mushy chocolate chip cookie dough with a lot of Hershey's syrup drizzled on top, with powdered sugar sprinkled on top of the sauce. It was not a cookie. It was a skillet of molten, chocolaty glop. It was gross. I'm sorry, but with both the chicken breast and the "cookie" having been served not cooked enough, I hope someone is relaying my concerns to the COOK. Dorian could not possibly have been more kind or attentive. He removed the cookie from the bill, as well. They give you bread and butter, which is very nice, and which few restaurants do anymore, and the ambiance and service is so good I may try it again someday. But I will be extremely specific when I ask for anything that needs to be COOKED. read more

Had the worst cowboy steak I ever had! Manager came by comp oysters and a piece of cake $30 dollars ! Steak was $69 dollars never even ate it so bad! Could hardly cut with a knife! I thought he took steak off bill! Nope I paid and never even ask if I wanted to take home! Very poor choice on manager to comp a piece of cake and 4 oysters! Be a long time going there again! Bob! read more

We decided to try Rocco's to celebrate our anniversary with our family after receiving many recommendations. I reminded the hostess we were celebrating our anniversary and she congratulated us. After being seated on the patio we ordered drinks. After a long wait our server let us know the bar was backed up. We ordered and the salads and appetizer arrived. The oysters were fine. My Greek salad was primarily brown tinged lettuce with one grape tomato, a few bits of diced cucumber, 2 olive halves and a teaspoon of crumbled feta. A bad start to an even worse dinner. We order a filet dinner, cowboy steak dinner, lobster Thermidor and veal parmigiana. Filet was very good but baked potatoes were undercooked and soggy as they had obviously been sitting after reheating. Lobster was tasty but looked like a glutinous pile of canned condensed cream soup. Veal was tender but totally tasteless. The presentation was weird. A pile of very chunky sauce on the plate with a huge piece of breaded veal atop, topped with cheese that was melted but coagulated and naked linguine stuck to the cheese on top of it all. Highly unappetizing and difficult to eat. The cowboy steak which was priced at $69 was very grisly and inedible. Most of the grisly steak was attempted to be eaten but spit out and left in piles on the plate along with 3/4 of the uneaten steak. Again the baked potato was undercooked with wet and soggy skin. Complaint about the steak was made to the server and he sent over the manager who was very defensive and arrogant. He questioned the complaint as if he didn't believe us and took the plate back to the chef. At that time he asked if we wanted coffee and we declined letting him know we had already ordered dessert. He never returned and never apologized. We told the manger that The steak was the worst steak we ever had. When dessert arrived the ala mode ice cream on our dessert was incomplete. The server apologized and brought out an extra scoop of ice cream. No apologies were made for our bad food. When the bill arrived, we saw the blue cheese stuffed olives we were offered in our drinks were at an extra cost of $1. In addition after having spoken directly to manager previously there was no comp to our bill for the poor quality food. A hugely expensive meal for poor quality food. Our server was good but we noticed none of the people working there were smiling. I guess they were as unhappy with Rocco's as we were. read more

Used to be great. Steaks are amazing! But the service is horrible. Just waited 50 minutes for the main course and the waitress had no apology no explanation. Matter I get it... it could be the kitchen... could be a slew of valid reasons but why disappear... avoid me and offer no explanation. Will not be returning. read more

August 21st out with my girlfriend Andrea for her birthday in Newtown, PA. We have had several drinks at Rocco's on the outdoor patio but never dinner. So tonight it's dinner time. Yes this is upscale dining with dinners starting at $42. The interior is nothing but history and old wood kept beautiful. They have Valet parking and it's not a BYOB. Andrea ordered 12oz filet and I ordered the double cut pork chops. Of course along with a chocolate baileys Martini and a Maker Mark Manhattan. The drinks were cold and mixed perfectly. We received our salads which were above normal size and very fresh. The Entrees came and Andreas Filet was done to perfection. My double cut pork chop was cooked perfectly and sizzled nice however it did lack flavor for me. The baked potato was very large and after dinner drinks of Amaretto was delicious. Would I return again? Absolutely. Would I order the pork chop? For me no, however Andrea did enjoy the chops. Dinner for two with two martinis and two double amarettos $170. Great food beautiful place highly recommend and definitely will return read more

On our way to the next location for work, we stopped by this place for lunch. Menu is a bit on the pricey side, but has some hidden goodies on there. The waiter was knowledgeable and funny. Took our orders promptly. I ordered the Prime Burger (medium-well) with the fries. It has a mixture of different meats, shirt rib, brisket, ground chuck, with copper sharp cheese, on a soft bun. The food took a bit to come out which is good since it's not fast food. The burger was delicious! So delicious that I'm glad I don't live here because I'm sure I'd eat here more often just for the burger lol. But really good, flavorful and I even liked the tomato which I normally have removed from burgers, it tasted pretty fresh. All in all for the price it was a really good choice of restaurant for us, I'll be taking half of the burger home or to the hotel when I go. The location has been around for around 200 years. The hostess said 500 years lol she didn't mean it she wasn't sure but that's ok, she was nice. The waiter came back and wrapped the remainder of my burger for me and put in a bag. Service was great, food was better and I'd definitely recommend people to stop by if your in town. read more
