River Rocks - Rockledge

The manager would not allow the outside menu after moving our party of 15+ out doors due to a meeting underway in the adjacent room. The outdoor bartender didn't seem happy when a couple of our friends ordered from her. I didn't see what difference it made, what or where we ordered.

Stopped by for dinner with friends who live in Melbourne, FL while we're in town. We got there about 7:30 and caught the Super Moon coming up. We started with Conch Fritters and Cocktails. I got the Hawaiian River Orchid Martini, my friend got a Lemon Drop. For dinner I got grilled Mahi dock tacos with plantains. My husband got Blackened shrimp over linguini (daily special) and a bowl of clam chowder. The food and views were great. Our waitress Cara M was excellent.

I adored this place. We sat outside and had the seafood platter then moved over to sit by the river for some drinks. The server was amazing, very attentive and friendly! The views are lovely; the ocean breeze and live acoustic made for a lovely romantic setting. Mahi and shrimp was a bit over salted but was very juicy and not dried out, tasted like great quality. The menu for outdoor seating is a bit more light and casual than the menu for dining inside. Next time we will come back and try the inside menu.

First I want to thank Mya for making me feel as I fit in; she didn’t treat me any different I came in right after working a long day in a warehouse my attire was not what most would wear to this restaurant. Hostess I would suggest asking those who come to the outdoor area if they are aware that there’s an in indoor and an outdoor menu before sitting them down. I felt bad that I was seated where I could not have what I saw online and what I was hoping to eat Mya did offer to move me inside but that meant she would loose her table (she didn’t say that to me I have common sense as I have been a server) so I told her I would stay outside and she recommended me the special (Blackened Shrimp Scampi and pasta) and it was very delicious so I didn’t loose out on good food! BEWARE if you sit outside you can’t have the Shrimp and Grits only indoors. Silly!!!! Overall I would not give them less than 5 stars because I too own my own business and at times the owners need to hear the reviews to make the changes and grow. Overall food was good, sweet tea could have been sweeter, food was served quickly, waterfront was peaceful!!! I will be back…

I have been here many times but this was a first for breakfast with a friend. When we arrived we were told to just pick a seat which we did. After ordering drinks, we started to talk and realized the music was just too loud to hear each other 9:30am on a Saturday does not need rock music or the BeeGees Stayin ' Alive at a level you cannot talk over. We asked the server again, and he said I didn 't touch the knob, some songs are just loud and other 's are soft. I wish we would have walked out right then. At that point we were the only ones in the place, and would it have killed him to turn it down a notch? The food was great. The server seemed annoyed. I heard another table asking that the music be turned down it never was. I think he forgot that a simple request like that from a customer should be easily accommodated. It seems that a nice place like River Rocks could change the music genre to something less invasive like AC/DC. This just left a bad experience in my mouth.
