Had my Daughter in-law 's Baby Shower here and it was awesome. Thank you Colby and your great staff. Food was so good and served just right. Room perfect Again this spot great for Special Events read more

The food and the service were very good. My only issue is that I ordered a piece of triple chocolate cake to go, and they gave me HALF a slice. It was nothing like the full pieces I saw going by my table earlier. If you order your dessert to go, check it before you leave! read more

Best thing about Red Rocks? The diversity of the menu. For being only two pages, there's a pretty large selection and the choices are rather eclectic. Comfort food, Italian food, seafood, vegetarian, lots of salads, and even some pretty casual, but fancy sandwiches. The atmosphere is nice. It's fancy enough so that I feel inclined to wear a dress instead of yoga pants, ha. I love the drum shade lighting and all the booths. I just wish the decor had a little more personality, to give it less of a "chain restaurant" look. The smartest thing the owners do is entice you with dessert before you even eat, by having all their fresh baked good on display as you enter. Remember how good those look as you walked in, but you're too stuffed to have anything else now? Good luck with that will power... After you finish your meal, the waiters bring out a tray with a slice of each cake on display. They describe in detail each piece. Yeah, I can never resist. So I usually get a piece to take home. My favorite dishes here? Appetizers: Parmesan Potato Cakes, Queso-Spinach Dip, and the Homemade Potato chips. I guarantee you won't be disappointed by any of these! Salad: Small Baby Field Greens (pine nuts, goat cheese and craisins.. YES!) Pastas: Walnut and Spinach Ravioli, and Quarto Fromaggio Penne (minus the meat of course) Sandwiches: Portabella Mushroom Melt FYI: It's much nicer and quieter here on a week day/night. Sometimes the weekends can be crowded and annoying. Would probably come here more if the prices were just a bit lower. read more

This restaurant has been around for 20 years! Sweetie & I have been wanting to try and so we did! The interior is intimate, dim with nice seating. Mostly brick & wood type decor. Very sedate. We decided to eat at the bar so we could watch some baseball. Our servers at the bar were very nice, but almost a little to enthusiastic (i.e. listening to every word we said & chiming in). But it's better than being ignored. We both had the sea bass in two different preparations. Livingston's Chilean Sea Bass over risotto w/asparagus & pineapple chutney, & Steve Urvan's Southern Citrus Sea Bass over Sweet Potato Fries topped w/Spinach & a Gran Marnier Buerre Blanc. They were both cooked perfectly and were equally delicious. I liked the Citrus one the best because the Sweet Potato Fries were lightly crispy & were cut short so everything fit on the fork & into your mouth in yummy bites. The only issue with the dinners is mine came out piping hot on a "please be careful it's hot" plate, but sweetie's was only just warm - so it evidently sat for a while waiting for mine to be re-done? Supposedly Red Rocks is known for their homemade desserts so we tried the something peanut butter bread pudding ---- it was not good. Barely room temp, no flavor, hard, we both took one bite & sent it away. They were nice & tried to interest us in another dessert, but we didn't feel like trying one after that. We did let the manager know that it didn't ruin our experience with the rest of the food or the service & we would be back. read more

A small group of us went there last night for Charlotte Restaurant week and the place didn't disappoint. We were able to sit outside and it was very relaxing. I had filet medallions and honestly it was ALOT better than the steak I had at an expensive steak place recently, for quite a bit less. Overall a very good meal. read more

I have been dining here for decades. Always has been fantastic but this last time a giant gray kinky hair in my warm spinach salad and I was sick. Not from the hair but food poisoning. Tuna appetizer was terrible and old tasting. So disappointed. read more

Tuna was perfectly cooked and super fresh! Service was great and I highly recommend the coconut cake for afterwards! read more

Dining in was a great experience! Service was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was excellent, and the desserts reminded us to come back soon! read more

For the first time I've ever been to Red Rocks Cafe in Charlotte, I was happy to have enjoyed being treated with the same level of customer service as their other locations. The servers at this location are very diligent about ensuring that each customer has a pleasant experience of the restaurant. I always have enjoyed going to Red Rocks Cafe to get their lobster ravioli. read more

There was a mixup on our reservation, which I had made months in advance for our family Christmas Eve dinner. Feeling terrible, the manager, Mr. Holden Kaleo, stepped in and worked immediately to set up an area for our group of 10. He and the hostess couldn't have been more helpful and professional. Thank you Mr. Kaleo . We will return! read more

I like the outdoor seating, but for goodness sakes get your wait staff masks that fit! Our waiter's mask was under his nose which is like wearing no mask at all! Do your part! Food was fine. read more

This was my Second time visiting this restaurant. I understand that recently they renovated and it is very pleasant inside. I got there before my friend and they were kind enough to seat me before she arrived. We were seated at the back by a large television with a Fishtank on the screen. This idea is very calming but it is a little odd being seated in the back. This room felt more like an extra space for parties or big groups. The staff were friendly and I believe one of the managers even stopped by to check on us to see how our meal was and that was nice. I had a small Caesar salad with my Chicken blackened; it had a little spice to it and I'll tell you it was Perfect! Best Chicken Cesar salad I have ever had! The portion size of the small was just right for a light lunch! The parking here is a little strange I cannot even tell you what is the front or what is the back. You really have to be looking for this place. I will definitely come back! read more

Ah, Red Rocks. What can I say? You're a Cotswold institution. Been around forever with your overpriced mediocre everything. You're going nowhere because you're too convenient to ignore. But today, I received a pleasant surprise. Ordered a dinner entree for lunch. (How you prep your kitchen for the entire menu is beyond me.) Ordered the Almond Crusted Grouper. And although the presentation looked odd, and the fish was a bit overcooked, the flavors were excellent. Bartender even pulled off great and friendly service. And, I do always love the greetings at the door. Like you're genuinely glad I'm there. Being an ex industry girl, I know you're staff has "issues" - but I didn't see it today, and I didn't taste it today. So...kudos. And, yes, I'll be back. read more

I came here for a business lunch and it was a really good atmosphere for that setting. The staff was very friendly and provided exceptional service. One of my co-workers is gluten and dairy free and our server went above and beyond to remember to take the dressing off her salmon without being asked due to the dairy in it. I had the Asian salad which was good but a little boring. It definitely needs more crunch like little wonton strips. I would come back here and try some other things. read more

Excellent service, very safe seating. Allowed us plenty time to converse. Very good food and prompt and attentive service.

The desserts always get dessert ALWAYS!!! Coconut or chocolate the steak is cooked just the way I like it everytime!!

Well we just had the most amazing date night at red rocks cafe! Our server Jeri set the tone for an amazingly fun and wonderful dinner... the food was scrumptious - we had kale salad and she crab soup To start (if you're a Charlottean (more specifically a cotswoldian or a SouthParkian) must go on record that it's better than Eddies Place) and then we had salmon and Chilean sea bass, both of which were simply delectable. The ambiance, the service and the food give this charlotte staple 5 stars! Give it a try! read more

Great venue and fabulous food! Dined here while visiting from out of town. The staff was friendly, and provided just the right amount of attention. The drinks and the food were perfectly prepared. Thank you read more

My friends and family have looked forward to a chance to get out for a dining experience. After two months we were allowed finally and chose Red Rocks in Ft. Mill. Service was Excellent and food was delicious. Menu was slightly different than online but plenty of options. Give it a try soon in case everything gets closed down again during the HYSTERIA!!! read more

We had our wedding reception this past weekend and the staff at Red Rocks led by Emily made the place look and feel just amazing. Every one of their servers was so attentive to detail, it couldn't have made that day more perfect. Thank you!! I highly recommend this place for any event and a huge plus (one of our main reasons for choosing Red Rocks) is that they are very mindful of all the COVID restrictions and protocols. read more

Not as good as I heard, I went there for Easter lunch, they had a prefixed menu (appetizer, entree, dessert, 33 dollars plus tax) weird thing they dint have any entree with chicken. The only thing it was good was the coconut cake, because the salad and the crab cakes were not good at all, the salad dressing was to sour, the meat was cold, and the presentation of my food was ugly, we were a group so I was able to try the different options, but so far the Easter menu is NOT good at all. read more

Definitely our happy place since we moved to Charlotte six years ago! Each time, the food & service are outstanding! My hubby got the Cajun pasta tonight & I got the filet mignon sandwich! It was so tender & juicy! Both our meals were to die for! Our waiter Dexter was on the ball & quite attentive. We really enjoyed the background Christmas music tonight & the recent remodeling was pleasing to the eye. The Long Island teas are always my favorites! We were glad Will the manager stopped by our table so we could tell him how much we love RR! Merry Christmas! read more

Last night 3 couples visited the Strawberry center Red Rocks Cafe for dinner. Everyone was impressed with their meal. The Sea Bass was done perfectly, the burger was juicy, but the crab soup and crab cake sandwich were as good as those served in Annapolis,MD. We know because we lived there for 18 years! The portions were perfect and the chocolate cake to go hit the spot. We plan to return soon to enjoy a superb meal. Also, the service was first class. read more

My fiancé and I have been here a few times for lunch. Today we decided we'd like to stop in and we were really excited to see the options that aren't available on the lunch menu. We were seated promptly in an empty party room, we didn't mind because it was quiet, alone. Our waitress wasn't aware of the specials, the buffalo calamari and okra both had breading that were soft and soggy as if they were frozen, the steak was bland and rubbery, and the manager was extremely condescending. He asked why we didn't like the calamari and assumed it was because we didn't know what texture it's supposed to be. If he had been an active listener he would have understood that the food was very similar to that of a retirement or rest home. Unnerving experience, will not return. read more

I truly feel Red Rocks is a staple restaurant in Charlotte. I order something new every time I go and have not been disappointed. The prices may seem a little pricey but the ingredients and their portions match up with the price. They have the same environment as any other high end restaurant but you don't pay big bucks for a kid size meal. Bartenders and waiters are always on point and very friendly. Don't leave without their chocolate cake! Weatherly Cajun Salmon- HIGHLY RECOMMEND Blackened Tuna- Nice thick slices Lobster Ravioli- Very Rich & Creamy Cajun Chicken on a Croissant All their steaks are great, whoever grills them up really know what they're doing, never had an under or over cooked steak. Really great ranch dressing (For those who are like me that are really particular with Ranch) Last night they have a Caramel Balsamic Reduction sauce that paired so well with their steak. *drooling as I type* Pittsburg Salad- Nothing better than an unhealthy salad! Moscow Mule with extra lime- LOVE IT HERE read more

My husband and I went to dinner last Saturday night, (we didn't have a good experience the last time we were there. The owner emailed me to further discuss our poor experience. I told him, we'd come back, and give Red Rocks another chance,and I am so glad we did). The food and service was excellent. We had Stacy as our server, as she was great!! we ordered the calamari,which is always so good. We also had wine, beer, salads and my husband said the jambalaya was the best he ever had. We were so happy that we came back, and would recommend the restaurant to all of our friends. We will definitely be back very soon. read more

Great lunch and a great place for a business lunch. Attentive and accommodating wait staff. Great cakes - the coconut with lemon and the chocolate were wonderful. read more

The Jambalaya was filled with shrimp, chicken and sausage. Good and spicy, just the way it should be. The lobster ravioli was also great. Great service. They also have a good selection of deserts. read more

Was looking for an epic chocolate cake.. found it. I only went because the chocolate looked like this picture but can I say Go this is one of the top desserts in Charlotte read more

The food is awesome here! I got a blackened chicken club croissant. It had a chicken breast blackened with bacon, honey Dijon sauce, provolone, and cheddar cheese. For my side item I chose the vegetable medley which was pretty good... I also got Tater tots. The chicken on the club was super tender. It was delicious. I will definitely be coming back. My server was awesome as well. She was very attentive. read more

Food is average to slightly above average. Service is subpar. Wait staff is more involved in personal conversations than they are in actually serving the customer. read more

Red Rocks has always been great, but not today. I ordered curbside pickup due to the pandemic. I ordered the salmon with dill sauce, wild rice, and broccoli. Positives- The wild rice and green beans were both tasty and warm. The server was polite and quick. Con - The salmon and dill sauce was a big disappointment. The salmon was a little undercooked and lacked any taste. The dill sauce also lacked the normal taste I've come to love. I couldn't finish the salmon. Small negative was the broccoli was substituted with greens beans. I like green beans, but was expecting broccoli. I'll definitely be back to Red Rocks, but might wait until I can dine in. read more

My wife and I came in for dinner without a reservation. We were greeted by your hostess (believe her name was Anna) she was very accomidating and friendly as was the wait staff. We ordered the lobster ravioli and key lime pie, delish!!!!! Can't wait to come back. read more

Red Rocks @ Strawberry Hill is one of my favorite restaurants, period. I've been coming here for many years and have had countless delicious meals. Whether you're in the mood for a burger, some she crab soup, a creative daily special, or something in between... this is the spot. Great variety of seating, excellent staff, ownership and a chef that care... do yourself a favor and see for yourself why this restaurant has outlived nearly every other restaurant in Charlotte. read more

Let's start by saying the service was incredible. The hostesses and services were attentive, accommodating, and professional. The only reason for four instead of five stars is because the food was good, but not great. It's like I want their menu to be AMAZING, but it's comparable to Olive Garden; except more expensive. Try it and decide for yourself. read more

Red Rocks Cafe - Lobster Steve Udelson 's Lobster Ravioli - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Probably some of the worst food I've had since moving to Charlotte a year ago. This place was recommended to us by a coworker. It's tucked away in a cute little plaza. We were seated on the patio which was nice as well. I ordered the chicken penne pasta in wine sauce....Omgosh no taste whatsoever and there was nothing to bring the meal together. The chicken was tasteless, the noodles were just tossed on the plate & the wine sauce was super watery. We live quite far from this place so we made a special trip. Will not return. read more

We love Red Rocks - not only do they have great food, but they also have incredible bar tenders. We prefer to sit at the bar to eat most times because we get such amazing service from Courtney and Suzanne. And the drinks? Delicious! Courtney always has a new feature for us to try. Highly recommend! read more

We eat here frequently and always have a lovely experience. The food is good. The staff is always friendly and management is professional.

Can't say that I've been jonesin' to check out RR. Sure, it's a convenient location and easy lunchtime middle-ground for different professions. You can see the "ladies who lunch" crowd here or even the dude in his power suit ready to "rock" a deal with a client. Can't say you'll see too much wowing going on from the food perspective. I came here for lunch with a friend since it was the most convenient location for both of us. Ended up ordering a salad with rare, seared tuna and the light balsamic dressing. I've been on a kick of lighter lunch options lately and Red Rocks' salad options fit the bill rather well. Our server was....friendly, but seemed a little perturbed when we presented a coupon. Not a huge deal, but just something to keep in mind. Would I go back? Sure. Am I rushing back to excavate the rest of the menu for something worthwhile? Nope. read more

Was taken here by wife's friends as we are moving to Charlotte from Utah. What a great place to take us! Friendly staff! Amazing restaurant comfortable and cozy. Didn't feel rushed. The food was amazing. The buffalo calamari I could eat all day stuff is amazing!!! Had the Chicken Marsala can say never had it like this and loved it. Bottom line great food great staff great drinks!!! Thanks for a great experience! read more
