I'd love to give this place a better rating simply because the service is impeccable, the decor is gorgeous and the vibe is fabulous! But... The star of the show, the food, let's it down hopelessly! I ordered the jalapeño burger. The burger was a fairly standard burger that was topped with two jalapeño poppers. Neither the bun, nor the burger patty inspired me. The burger was a little dry and didn't have any seared crust on the meat, despite it being hand pressed. The jalapeño poppers had a nice tasting breading, but the breading was far too heavy. My partner ordered the ribs and wings, the wings were ok, but the same heavy breading made an appearance. The ribs were also dry and kinda stringy. For dessert, I had the kataifi. Firstly, the promised chocolate eggs were in absentia and replaced by chocolate chips. Secondly, the entire dessert was sickly sweet, and this is coming from someone with a sweet tooth and who loves dessert! Again, we had a great time at The Rock, but the food just doesn't cut the grade.
