À propos
The Rocks is pretty near E Hayes and Sons - The World's Fastest Indian. The chef at this bar cooks tasty blue cod, chicken salads and chicken. Many people find that you can try good cheesecakes, crumble and bread pudding here. It's nice to order delicious craft beer or good draft beer. According to the reviewers' opinions, waiters serve great coffee. Select between indoor and outdoor seating. As a lot of visitors remark, the atmosphere is spectacular. Google users who visited The Rocks state that the most suitable score is 4.6.

Lamb was raw! Nicely asked the staff to take it back to kitchen but was told that was the way they cook it here... excuse was "the chef has been working here for 10 years". Didn't even bring the rest of the dish back or make any effort to amend. $40+ bucks down the drain and still hungry after the meal. Partner's fish bowl got seemingly supermarket-sold prawn skewers in it? For a $40+ dish? We both felt seedy afterwards but fortunately nothing serious. Anyway it was our first time there and would be the last. If the manager replies below this comment with any excuses such as "we've sold XX lamb/fish that day and you're the only one complaining" , it's just what they do -- looking for more excuses! Sort out your business and stop ruining the hard-earned reputation built by the previous owners! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $60–70 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
We were staying nearby and looking for a nice steak place. Stumbled upon Rocks that had good reviews. True to word, the food and service was amazing! We did not have a reservation, but we were given a table in spite of it being peak dinner period. Tried the steak with blue cheese and my son had steak with mushroom. They were both awesome with just the perfect doneness and a fantastic burst of flavour when you bite through the blue cheese (I'm a blue cheese lover, for those that don't like blue cheese, you should get steak and mushrooms). They also have quite a fair bit of other dishes and the best part is that they have a small and large size for some of them - nice gesture for those who don't eat large portions. My wife ordered a pasta and it turned out quite delicious. So it's not just steaks they're good at :) Food presentation was great as evident from the pics. Service was awesome, not overwhelming, but we could feel the warmth and friendliness from everyone. When I'm back in Invercargill, I will no doubt be back here again!! Great food, warm service, nice ambience, reasonable prices, absolute value for money - what else could a hungry soul ask for? :) Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This is a fantastic place to eat. The food was delicious with good gluten free options for one of our party. The venison was beautifully done- not overcooked and so was the steak. Service was good. They were very busy as was just before Christmas so a few large parties which made it a bit noisy, however, our meals were prompt. Would recommend.

A delightful evening with friends, made better by a very nice meal. My personal favourite the Fillet Mignon (270 grams) yet other members of our table had the Mushroom Steaks - 380grams of Southland Beef. Enjoyed was also the Slow Roast Loin of Pork with mashed potatoes and crackling. Service was good although they forgot our drinks, restaurant was very busy, warm with pleasant surroundings. Mains priced from $37.50 to $43.00. Meal service was prompt and the staff friendly, although I personally would have preferred that the staff wore masks.

We are in Invercargill for one night. We walked into the restaurant without a booking. There was only tables outside, which we sat out. It was a cool day, the staff gave us blankets, were very friendly and helpful. I'm Coeliac, they understood and catered for me well.

Lovely wee place apparently under new ownership. The food was very tasty but the service lets them down a bit. We were seated in clear sight of the service staff yet had to ask for everything, one server even rolled her eyes when we asked if we could order another beverage. They passed us by without observing our table at all. Never checked to see if meal was okay. We left disappointed. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5
Very good restaurant, love the atmosphere, very cozy to hangout with friends or family. They also serve a high quality food. We ordered the salmon risotto and ribeye steak with blue cheese sauce(?). Risotto was very flavorful. The smokey taste is very strong. Won’t recommend this if don’t like strong smoke flavor. Steak is cooked to a perfection! A bit heavy on cheese sauce but it makes sense with the caramelized onion. Everything is just the right match!
Excellent food. The sharing player was next level. I'd give the cocktails a miss. We had steak and the blueberrie venison, delicious and cooked perfectly Great service as well. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The quality of the food here is really good; they seem to put a lot of work into flavour. The steak and the pork were both cooked beautifully. If I'm being picky, the service was a little slow, but to be fair, we were in right on opening time, so they may not have been fully set up.Also not the cheapest, but you get your money's worth for sure. Good selection, and very good service too. Highly recommended.
