  • "Loud child & barking dog (not guide) in the restaurant ruined the ambiance."

Food Quality

Cons:

  • "Dreadful, overpriced and disappointing food."
  • "The food was not at all as expected."

Cons:

  • "Way too expensive for the quality you get."
  • "Also paid £18:95 for a half of a skate wing which the menu didn't state."
  • "My hake was described as a thick meaty fish. I received a minuscule, soggy flat portion."
  • "Food tasted good, but portions were smaller than expected considering pricing."
  • "The quantity has definitely reduced, the mains were tiny."
  • "At £130.05 for 2 people (with gratuity) what we had hoped would be a pleasant visit to Rockfish for an early evening celebration dinner was a considerable disappointment."
  • "Very nice fresh fish, but more than £20 for fish & chips really doesn't do it for me."
