Rocking V Cafe

Fine dining in a casual, comfortable, and artsy environment. Food was fantastic! Everything we tried was good! Staff was super friendly and fun. Loved the art hanging on the walls. Fine dining, yet you can show up after a hike and feel right at home. Indoor and outdoor seating. Also, it was warm inside! I usually get cold in restaurants, but this one was warm and cozy. Very welcome on a cold evening.

Absolutely delicious and excellent service from our amazing waitress Britt. There was a slight bobble in the kitchen which made one meal come out a bit late but Britt took great care of us and handled the situation beautifully. Will definitely be coming back!

Amazing atmosphere, exceptional service and the food was out of this world, so good we made reservations for the next evening. Everyone was super friendly. They are all doing it right for sure. Great job, this deserves 10+ 🤩

When we arrived right at 4:00, the hostess/owner(?) was on the phone. She didn’t even acknowledge we were standing there. There were several other groups right behind us. She sat us first then 3 or 4 other tables. We got waited on last. Service is not consistent at all. Items were forgotten several times – a drink, a takeout box, dessert. And it was not busy. Cool and colorful interior with funny signs on the walls. They have a fairly decent beer and wine list but the prices are high. On to the food, for the most part it was delicious, and they were large servings. The focaccia bread and creamed balsamic dip was very good. The focaccia bread was light and flavorful. The appetizer of Brussel Sprouts with a sriracha-agave glaze – the sauce was yummy. We even sopped it up with the focaccia bread. The Adobe Chicken was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. The sauce and roasted corn salsa really made this dish. The riced(?) potatoes tasted good but we didn’t care for the texture. Not creamy like regular mashed potatoes. The Jalapeno Lime Chicken was grilled just right. The sauce and cheese complimented the chicken perfectly. The sides were mediocre. It was supposed to come with chipotle ranch beans (which I was looking forward to) but instead came with black beans that tasted like barbecued baked beans. The rice was pretty bland. We also ordered a slice of key lime pie to take with us but we haven’t tried it yet. Right now, lunch is only takeout and dinner is takeout and dine-in.

A bit on the spendy side but cheaper than alternative restaurants open Sunday evening. Busy, friendly, clean with comfortable seating indoor and out. 25 min wait for a table: worth it. My burger was very good, juicy and full of flavor! Served with cheesy mashed potatoes. Too full for dessert I'll have to come back.

Our experience here was terrible with the exception of the drinks. While we got sat immediately, it took a long time for our waitress to arrive. We ordered drinks and each of us got an entree. Then it took a while for our cocktails to be served. My cocktail was very tasty, but the whole experience was just bad. After that, they only served my pork chop, which was dry and hard to cut. The mashed potatoes side was hard and dry. And they completely forgot my husband's order! They fired it quickly and it tasted ok, just under seasoned. $70 later....

We left as quickly as possible and now we're ordering dinner from Pizza Hut.

Great atmosphere. I had the 4 cheese lasagna with Chicken. The food description was funny.

Hadn't eaten here in awhile, maybe a few months. Man this is not the same restaurant it was in 2022. I don't know if there is new management or a fresh kitchen crew or what, but the quality has severely declined.

May 22, Party of 5, before the dinner rush. We walked in and there were only 3 other tables. It did fill up by the time we got our food though.

We ordered a Happy Planet (vegan burger), the Tofu Curry plate, Lasagna, a garden salad, and... something else.

The server brought us a REAL MEAT burger and waited until my wife took a bite from it to come back and tell us it was the wrong burger, and said so in an almost scolding tone - like it's her fault that the wrong burger is in front of her. Eating animals is a pretty big violation of her morals. No apology, no visit from the manager.

The mashed potatoes looked and tasted like they were powdered. No fries option. You can get a Bag of chips. Like your mom would pack in your lunch. A bag of plain Lay's potato chips.

The lasagna was underwhelming, and the salad was successfully made of lettuce.

I really don't think we'll be back for a long time, maybe just for a couple drinks? Certainly can't recommend it to friends and family when they visit. Real shame too.

Whatever mojo this restaurant had before seems to be lost now.

We had a wonderful lunch here. Table of 7 and no problems but a small wait to fit us in. They have great food and a funny menu. Also art work to wander around and look at if you have to wait to be seated. We all would go here again.

Delicious and original. Friendly folks.

Not enough staff =take out only. HOT 95ª outside. Would have preferred to eat our takeout inside, but this is the post Covid reality: businesses winging it the best way they can.
