Went to rockpool for lunch for wedding anniversary. Restaurant is done up nicely, albeit a little dark - but fine overall. Me and my wife ordered the cape grim rib eye which is $60. Both of us found the steak quite chewy with some grizzle throughout it. Pretty disappointing for both of us especially considering meat is its specialty. For... More

Service is polite, efficient and attentive without being obtrusive - good venue for business dining. Venue is located in Melbourne's finest eating strip - Crown Casino on the Yarra River (creek). Food: Meat is the go although there is fish and poultry on offer for those who do not relish red meat. All the steaks cooked for our party were... More

You may as well order the glass of wine the staff will offer you as soon as you sit down, because it will take you a while to read the menu and decide which of the amazing sounding dishes you want to eat. A great view out over the south bank promenade, and an open kitchen where you can watch... More

Our kids gave us a voucher for this restaurant. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel very welcome. All staff were friendly, helpful and certainly not what I expected from this level of restaurant. The food was wonderful and although not enormous serves, we were able to then order a few different dishes to try. We... More

Only ate here once & my expectations were probably too high so I found it disappointing in comparison to their Sydney & Perth restaurants. Just not up to their standard. Will try again though just in case they were having an off night. More

Have dined at Rockpool on numerous occasions, steaks are fantastic, as are the Wagyu burgers (must have onion rings). Sides are also fantastic. Staff ranges from average to good. Definitely worth a visit!! More
