Rokerij

Rokerij is such a unique experience when it comes to the food! This spot is great for date nights, nice dinner with friends, and even out-of-towners. The food is always impeccable with a smoky feel to it. And the Green Chili Potato is a must! I will say, the service at Rokerij is OKAY, but nothing to write home about for the cost of the dinner and atmosphere. I have been several times now, and each time, I truly wish the server would have given us a bit more love and attention. But, it wasn’t a horrible or bad experience by any means. Just something to keep in mind when making plans there for the evening or day.

A very diverse menu in which I don’t one can really go wrong. The sea bass was incredible along with the sides. They made a mistake on our order which they offered to rectify immediately. As a sign of wonderful service, they brought out a couple deserts as an apology which was on the house. Very classy operations/service and will be going back.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Tip notch servers in the basement. Quite the experience, great bar service, happy hour wines, amazing Tomahawk steak with the loaded mashed potato (I added a bit of hot sauce on both) and amazing quality. If you've been to the best steakhouses Scottsdale has to offer, you owe it to yourself to make reservations and try this out!

Wait staff and host were very nice. The food however was boring at best. We got the calamari and bacon wrapped shrimp. These dishes were great and full of flavor. However the entrees leaved much to be desired. The strip steak was average, the chicken mayo average. Def not the best steak I’ve ever had. I liked that It included sides and a veggies. All at my table were very underwhelmed.

This place is fantastic! I have been there for dinner, brunch and happy hour, always great food! Their brunch is amazing, large portions, great prices! It gets packed quickly for evenings and weekends, make reservations to be safe. Their prices are good but this time I went we did spend over $100 due to getting their large Tomahawk Steak! Also their bacon wrapped shrimp is my absolute favorite, so so good!

We arrived in the parking lot and were greeted by the valet attendants. It dawned on us that this was a valet-only establishment, which we hadn't realized before. It usually wouldn't be a big deal, but I didn't have any cash with me, so I felt guilty about not being able to tip. I informed the attendant about my lack of cash and asked if there was any self-parking available on the property. He responded curtly, suggesting that I could park across the street. He then mentioned that he would accept Venmo as payment. I explained that I didn't have Venmo either. Before I could even express my intention to park across the street, he hurriedly walked away and ignored me. It was evident from our conversation that I still had more to say, but he chose to leave because he knew I wouldn't be able to provide a cash tip. Normally, I tend to be generous with tipping, but I was unprepared to pay for valet parking and didn't have cash on hand. I parked across the street and found myself inside Rokerij with my party. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for in a dining experience, spot on. We were promptly seated in a comfortable and nice booth. Our server approached us and placed some water on the table before hurrying off. He didn't say much and failed to mention any specials or inquire about any questions or take our drink order. We waited for about 5 minutes until a woman came by and informed us that she would be taking over from the previous server who had "assisted" us. She then asked if we had placed our drink orders and if we were aware of the specials. We informed her that we hadn't been informed about the specials yet and that our drink orders had not been taken. I don't want to exaggerate the situation, as it's not a major issue on its own. She leaves and returns with our drinks, and we are now ready to place our food orders. I choose the Seafood Linguine, my wife orders the Schnitzel, and my father-in-law opts for the New Mexican Surf n' Turf. I am informed that a house salad comes with my meal, and I receive it within 5 to 10 minutes. The salad is great, with a generous portion and a refreshing change from the usual house salads. It could have used a bit more protein to make it a satisfying standalone dish for an average person. I have no complaints about the salad itself. About 15 minutes later, our main orders arrive. The Seafood Linguine has an unexpected amount of broth at the bottom of the bowl, but it's not a major issue. The sauce and pasta flavors are on point. However, the shrimp in the dish are overcooked, although still flavorful. Shrimp are generally edible even when cooked thoroughly, so it wasn't a significant problem. On the other hand, the scallops are perfectly cooked. My Wife expresses her disappointment with her Schnitzel, describing it as flavorless and very soggy, as if it had been sitting out for a while. I confirm this by sampling it, and she had to add a considerable amount of salt and pepper to make it edible and somewhat enjoyable. She rates her meal as mediocre at best. Despite that, my father-in-law mostly enjoys his meal, except for the fact that his shrimp are also cooked into oblivion. As a tip for your cooks, perfectly cooked shrimp should form a nice "C" shape and not be tightly curled. This is an easily fixable issue—simply reduce the cooking time for the shrimp. Other than that, he loved the flavors of his meal. Overall, the experience was rather average (or "meh"). If you look at my other reviews that I have posted, you will clearly see that I don't do a ton of them and I don't just complain to complain. I was pretty turned off by the valet attendant and the fact that 30-45 dollar entres should be held to a slightly higher standard.

All around great experience. Was hoping to come for happy hour, but missed the window, but still came for drinks and dinner. Its a little pricey, but the value is there so I don't mind. Quality of ingredients, preparation and presentation were all very solid. We had three appetizers and drinks. WE picked to of the most expensive apps, but they were worth it. The steak tartare came as all separate components you mix yourself. Very interesting presentation. I made the assumption that it should all be mixed together, which was a mistake for me. I assumed they knew the measures for proper tartare, in the future I will cut back on the parts, the meat was overwhelmed. All in all still good. The bacon wrapped shrimp was fantastic, but then again how can you go wrong? WE also had the onion rings which were very crispy, perfectly breaded and good sized. The sauces with the shrimp and the rings were stellar. I wanted to try so many more items on the menu, so will have to return,
