The experience was decent as in the fact we could bring our furbaby, that’s a win in every way.. The staff were attentive and nice, the entree was delicious, so I thought this is a great start, I ordered the 500g Rib on the bone, MedRare… with Chips & Mash with a Pepper Sauce. The Steak came out and looked fabulous, however it was over done, the sauce had a skin on it and was cold, it wasn’t to my taste in flavour. Mash was ok. Mum had the Schnitzel, it was over done, so extra crispy and in turn dry… Anyways the outdoor space was great, would have been cool to hear some music of some sort in the background… and maybe an industrial fan somewhere to circulate the air a little as it was muggy and due to the fence walling the airflow wasn’t happening. Will return as I do like to give a place a second chance..

Steak night was great! Quality fresh food and amazing friendly accommodating staff. Group of 10 were looked after so well. Dining staff made sure we organised the birthday cake they brought it out with sparklers and a song. They assisted with a table at the end for the kids to sit and colour in while we ate. Found it was quicker to order drinks from your table than go to the bar! Will definitely return. Thanks for a great experience team!

Our 2nd time here because of the great food and service. Again, the food and drink service was 1st class as was the quality of the food. The Tuesday $18 Parma special was superb as was the sumptious Chicken Carbonara. Our friends were also delighted with their Pumpkin & Haloumi Salad. We cannot speak highly enough of the Rocklea Hotel ..... it is the complete package - including being dog friendly!!
