I am very selective and have a high standard of dining expectations, so this is a matter of fine tuning. Overall I would easily recommend Rocka for a fine dining experience. The room is modern and gorgeous with soft touches for warmth. The lighting is beautiful. Each table feels cozy and isolated even in a large room filled with guests. The menu has is it’s own take on classics presenting you with a real culinary treat. The drinks are spectacular. My only disappointment was the service at the bar. We were basically ignored. There was little eye contact and we had to ask for everything, including our food when it didn’t come. Apparently the order was never placed. The food was comped, but the service never got better. Though we always enjoy ourselves, it’s the little things that turn a great time into a little disappointment.

The atmosphere was quiet but at 1pm on a Saturday, I am not surprised. The food was brunch and it was delicious and plating was beautiful. Service was great. Would return again

This is the 2nd time I have been here & will definitely visit again. This place has a cool vibe with love music on Fridays. The food was excellent, really anything on the menu is fabulous with specialty drinks to match. I’m not a whiskey person but was able to experience the Penicillin & really enjoyed it. Finally the service is outstanding. Both times our server was Diana & she gave us top notch service. She was so attentive even with a packed house she didn’t miss a beat! I will definitely make this a place to frequent!

Spur of the moment kind of night. Decided to stay local, here in Whittier. Great choice!! Fun vibe and great food .
We chose to have our dinner and drinks at the bar. Super friendly staff and pretty knowledge with their whiskey. The drinks were tasty and the food was delicious. We shared the cauliflower appetizer and it was so dang delicious!!! Yummy . I had the clam chowder in a bowl. Let me tell you, one of the best tasting chowders we’ve had. The Caesar salad was ok. I didn’t particularly like that there were no lettuce leaves. Pretty much chopped lettuce. The sauce was good but overall just ok. My man had the rokku burger and fries. It was good, but he said next time, he’s going for the clam chowder.
It was a good night

All I can say is simply amazing! The whisky list is huge, live guy playing a guitar, excellent service and amazing food. A place for a birthday, anniversary etc as it is not cheap. The servers are very well trained proper manners and etiquette.

We let our daughter choose where to go for her birthday and she chose Rokka. We are from out of town, so we didn’t know what to expect.
We made a reservation, so the seating was fast when we arrived. The server (I apologize I don’t remember his name) was very prompt, had water to the table fast.
Started with the sweet & spicy wings. Wow! So good! Great flavor, super tender, and temperature was perfect! The yucca fries were tasty and gave a good little kick.
I ordered the Lava Burger and it was amazing (picture). Meat was tender, bacon was done right, and I’m not usually a caramelized onion guy, but left them on to see… glad I did.
My daughter got the clam chowder in a sourdough bowl and I had to try it… very very good!
My wife got Rok and Cheese (Mac & cheese) and coconut shrimp.
Everything was very good, server was right on top of drinks and water, and the saxophone player was very good also!
What a great little place. If we are in town again, I’ll definitely consider coming back to Rokka!

Came here for date night. The staff was very attentive. We got the Citrus Glazed Cauliflower for an appetizer and it was refreshing and very tender. Both salads were also good. I got the Coastal Oscar Filet Duo – the lobster sauce on top was the star. The filet was cooked as requested and the shrimp were good. My husband got the Filet Mignon with Yucca Fries – he thought both were delicious, especially the sauce with the fries.
My only complaint is that the food didn’t come out at the same time. We both ordered salads but mine came out several minutes before my husband’s. Then my husband got his main dish first and it was a little while before I got mine.

Waiting for my birthday. I thought the service was pretty good They really kept an eye on us. Somebody ordered a ribeye and got a lot of gristle and a very big bone and it was like $75. Not to pleased with that. Then we ordered sea bass. It looked very impressive. But it was so bland. And the vegetables were very beautiful but they were completely raw not even Al dente. I mentioned the steak to the waiter and he just put his head down and walked away. Not saying anything. I didn’t expect for them to wipe it off the bill but an apology would have been nice. There were four people and we paid a substantial amount somewhere near the 260 range. One person at the table ordered ribs and was very very happy with the selection. I got to say the bathrooms are clean. The place is impressive. Not much for parking. But the area is so cool for shopping and just strolling. Great area. So still had a very nice time. And it was nice they brought a firework looking thing with it stuck in the ice cream. I thought that was really nice. I got to say all the staff really work hard. And they earn their money. And as always I want to say bon appetit.

Great atmosphere, quite. They do have tv’s. My friend had the ribs, large portions with sides. I had the pork chop, kind of tough, bright home reheated taste better. Next table had the tomahawk, looked large, they cut off the bone so your table. Customer service was great. On top of it. Street parking.
