    I highly recommend Rockefellers, the food is prepared by a chef who has a well trained skill set. The atmosphere is a comfortable chic , paying attention to little details that make a big difference. Our waiter Davis gave us excellent service and allowed adequate time between courses .

    We had a great evening. We ate early so the place was not too busy. Chris was our server and he was attentive, friendly, and good at his profession. The drinks were well made and the food was served hot and very good. Loved the She Crab soup.

    Server was more interested in texting on his cell phone than waiting tables. We had to ask repeatedly for things because he “forgot”. They weren’t crowded so no excuses. Food was lackluster and appeared to have been sitting under the warming lights for an extended time. Not worth the price paid.

    Service was good considering how crowded it was. Good was good, but nothing special. Food was like warm, not hot. Not sure it was worth the prices

    Locally owned. Food is fresh, great menu options, and excellent service. Excellent location with valet parking. Desserts are made from scratch and portions are ginormous. We had a party of 8 and our friends were visiting from out of state. They raved about the food and exceptional service,
