Rocksia Hotel was an absolutely delightful experience, I came here with my mother as we were on the way home down in Princess Highway. We felt hungry and decided to come back here after remembering how good the food was!
There are a few little errors that I have encountered in this place, and that's why I decided to give this place an outstanding 4 stars.
As someone who hasn't been here in a while, I got a little lost to where the entrance was and got confused as there are roughly 3 big doors to the hotel. One was locked, which I assume is a private area, another was the sports bar, and the other was towards the pub. That's just a little minor error, but it's something to consider making obvious, in my opinion,
When it comes to ordering, the young waitress was very kind and friendly and I enjoyed her service however she seemed to have misunderstood my order as I ordered the Parmigiana but she put through a Regular Schnitzel, it's a mistake that can occur and I am not at all upset about that in any way, in fact when I went to pick-up the food she was extremely friendly and apologized for her mistake and I was once again very pleased with the server and food. The chef understood what happened and didn't even hesitate to make me a Parmigiana.
Unfortunately, what got me a little confused and upset was that the Parmigiana was not properly made. Any traditional Parmigiana is made with a schnitzel, and it is topped with Tomato Sauce, Ham, and Melted cheese. Unfortunately, the dish did not have the ham, which doesn't make it a Parmigiana and prevents me from having those extra flavours from the Ham. However, I was still very happy with the dish as it did taste delicious but not like a Parmigiana.
The mash potatoes were absolutely delightful, some of the best mash I have ever tasted in my life!
Same with the Veggies, I was extremely pleased with them, tasted much better than any other types of veggies I have ever consumed.
The steak my mother had was very good. She asked for it to be medium however it was made Medium rare, this is a common error made by chefs and that's why my mother ordered it medium to get it to the medium rare. Every chef considers medium rare and medium different, so I believe that it's fair for this to have happened! As anyone who loves Medium rare, I would order a medium to get the medium rare everyone loves!
The atmosphere was very delightful and I enjoyed my stay at the Rocksia Hotel! I would suggest slightly lowering the music as I did feel that I had to talk louder to be able to be heard.
Overall, this place was absolutely delightful. There are a few mistakes that are common, and that could easily be changed. The prices were quite high compared to what a pub would generally charge from my experience. We paid $65 for 2 dishes and a beer. So it was quite expensive however it was very delightful and I really enjoyed my visit! I would certainly recommend this place for some food and a good time with family or friends!
4/5 Stars!
