From the moment I walked into this newly opened restaurant, I knew I’d stumbled upon something special. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between modern elegance and warm comfort—soft lighting, thoughtful décor, and an inviting energy that makes you want to stay awhile.
The menu is creative without being pretentious, offering familiar favorites elevated with unique twists. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented. You can tell the chefs care deeply about their craft; the attention to detail shines through in every bite.
Service was another highlight. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food they were serving. Especially Justin behind the bar, his recommendations were spot on. Even though the restaurant is new, everything felt smooth, well-organized, and welcoming—like they’ve been perfecting the experience for years.
Whether you’re grabbing a casual dinner, celebrating a special occasion, or seeking a new go-to spot, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

We live in Philly and decided on a night downtown at Rockwell & Rose, and it couldn’t have been better. The restaurant itself is beautiful, set in a cool historic building in Washington Square with an atmosphere that’s elegant yet comfortable.
Our server Jordan was fantastic, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. Tim, the manager, checked in throughout the evening and made sure everything was perfect. You can tell the entire team really cares about their guests and takes pride in what they do.
The food was exceptional. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and served with the signature maître d’ butter candle, which was such a fun and creative touch. The Brussels sprouts were delicious, and the baked Alaska was the perfect way to finish the meal. We even took a cheesecake to go, because we couldn’t resist.
It’s rare to find a restaurant that nails the food, service, and atmosphere all at once, but Rockwell & Rose does exactly that. You can feel the great culture and leadership behind the scenes. This spot is a gem, and we’ll definitely be back

Our server was phenomenal! Very knowledgeable, patient and kind. The food was delicious – crab cake eggrolls were great to start, dry aged bone in KC steak was cooked to perfection, brussels sprouts were crispy and flavorful. The cognac cream and root beer beef just were delightful enhancements. The lobster mac & cheese is a must try! The s’mores cheesecake was not too heavy – a great finish. Drinks were crafted with quality. The ambiance makes me feel like I’m in Miami! I will definitely be visiting again!

I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could – one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had in the city. From the service to the food to the ambiance, everything was excellent. I ordered the salmon and it was absolutely delicious and great quality fish. Our server was so attentive and the space is beautiful. I can’t wait to come back!

Only here once, but the bar/lounge is gorgeous – old wood carved bar with comfortable seating.
Tried the chicken liver mousse – delicious with the usual accompaniments but also grainy mustard.
Crabcake spring rolls – not my thing, but the crab was flavorful, crispy.
Not too much for beer lovers, but wine and cocktails all day. Had a Provance rose that was spot on.
Attentive service, and as friendly as you want to be. We chatted with them all!

We recently celebrated our family’s December birthdays at this restaurant. It was our first time there. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and sat at a very nice table. Our waiter was one of the best that I have ever had. He was friendly fun and educated us on their menu, including making some great suggestions for appetizer, main courses, desserts, and drink drinks, including wine. We stayed a long time in our table and were the last table at the restaurant. The staff could not have been more accommodating, and we never felt rushed at all, and they actually even sang happy birthday to us. They really made the night special and my family had a really great time. Of course the food was 100% perfect. I cannot say enough about our experience and I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I went here for my birthday and had an exceptional experience. Matt was our server and was very nice and professional and explained the specials and salad options in great detail. They offered us a champagne toast since it was my birthday which was a very nice touch. The food was amazing I high recommend the Brussel sprouts and twice baked French onion baked potato. The atmosphere was your classy steakhouse atmosphere with a unique twist that I loved. We will most definitely be going back

Celebrated our first Valentine’s Day married here tonight & we really enjoyed the food and the ambience ! Our server Ian was SO nice and beyond accommodating! He truly made our experience. I do wish the filet came with a sauce like the lamb did, but both dishes were really good. We will definitely be back!
