This is our 1st time here. The food is tasty. Appetizers are awesome.
Service at the beginning was super (the older guy was very attentive and caring), then we were forgotten and had to wait until the guy (I guess his name Tagit) would finally see us and come.
Atmosphere is warm and pleasant but little too loud (for me)

The restaurant itself is very good — the food was excellent and the service was friendly and professional. No complaints there.

However, I was very disappointed to see an 18% “Service Fee” added to the bill. While the fee itself was visible, the explanatory note in small print below stated that this charge is used to cover administrative costs and should not be considered a tip for the server.

In New York State, fees like this are generally expected to be clearly disclosed before ordering, not explained only later in fine print on the bill. Discovering that an 18% charge is not a gratuity but an internal administrative fee feels misleading and unfair to customers.

Again, the restaurant, food, and staff were great, but adding a nearly 20% charge that does not go to the server and is explained only in fine print feels like pure nickel-and-diming. What’s next — a hidden fee for cleaning the floor or taking out the trash?

Restaurants should be transparent about pricing and let customers decide how much they want to tip their server.

Excellent place with great food & vibes. They serve upscale Mediterranean food. The atmosphere is amazing. Music, food and service — it was an experience. Situated in a nice neighborhood in Brooklyn by the river.

Window seat is nice when weather is good. Decided to try the sushi and we were very very impressed. Didn’t think a Turkish restaurant would get this right but they did. Amazing. Hazelnut ice cream was one of the best ice cream I had in a long time. Sheesha – hookah was good. Vibe is fun. Had a pleasant time. The bill had a service fee on it with a notation that this is not tip. That’s crazy. They charge 15% fee which is like a tip and then you have to tip on top of that? Took off one star for that.

I’ve been to Rocca multiple times, and I want to start by saying their breakfast is incredible. The food is great, the servers are quick, and overall the morning experience is always on point.
Unfortunately, my dinner experience was the complete opposite, and it was especially disappointing because it was my birthday. I ordered a small cake with a birthday song. The song played, but no one came out, and the cake arrived with no candle. About 10 minutes later, they brought out a different cake with a candle, but it wasn’t the one I had ordered.
We also ordered kunefe, a Turkish dessert, and were told it would take about 10 minutes, but it took closer to 25 minutes. During that time, we could see a few pieces already sitting by the window, so it was unclear if they were just warming them up or if there was a delay in communication. On top of that, the waiter rarely checked in—we constantly had to call him over if we needed anything.
Another issue was the seating by the water. It was extremely cold, to the point where almost everyone was eating with their jackets on, while the inside dining area was warm. That’s something that definitely needs attention.
Overall, I still think Rocca has a lot of potential, and I highly recommend going in the spring or summer when the atmosphere can really be enjoyed—once these issues are addressed. I just wish my birthday dinner had matched the great experiences I’ve had here before.

The food was excellent, but my rating is mainly due to the service experience. I ordered the chicken Adana, and when the dish arrived I immediately noticed it did not appear to be what I had ordered. I mentioned this to the server, but they insisted that it was the correct item. After tasting it, I realized it was actually the regular Adana kebab, which I believe is made with lamb based on the distinct, gamey flavor. When the replacement dish arrived, it had a completely different taste and matched the chicken Adana I usually order here. While I appreciate that the issue was ultimately corrected, it seemed the server was unfamiliar with the dishes being served.

Love this restaurant! Authentic Turkish food with good service and great atmosphere!
Good for a romantic dinner or a brunch with friends or a family event or a celebratory occasion!
Been here a number of times over the years. Most recently was for my niece’s high school graduation dinner with family. The food was delicious- huge portions, definitely for sharing. The servers were attentive but not lurking. The view of the Bay was peaceful and beautiful. And we got them to bring out dessert for my niece to congratulate her and they had the perfect song all ready to go (Post Malone’s Congratulations)!

10 stars for the waterfront view and the gorgeous inside atmosphere. The quality of food should be superior to truly match the view and atmosphere. The sound level of music was not too high when we were there.

The atmosphere is lovely, and the food was delicious. However, the service was a bit inconsistent. While our initial order was taken promptly, getting the attention of our server for additional requests proved challenging. Water wasn’t offered and we struggled to order tea and ask for dessert menu after the meal. As time was running out, when we finally got someone’s attention we decided to pay and leave without ordering it. Gratuity is automatically added to the bill.

The restaurant’s location has beautiful water views. The open windows allowed for a refreshing breeze, making it a pleasant dining experience. We would return and hoping for improved service next time.
