I always enjoy meeting for breakfast here. It is an oasis to sit outside with the ambience of the glass enclosed fire, nice music and simple table setting. Christian was a gem and checked in on us with a smile. He is a natural for customer service. My friend and I always enjoy the Grab and Go for mid morning breakfast. You pay at the counter and you can sit anywhere and the food and drink will be brought to you at the table. I enjoy my Earl Grey tea which was brought in a French press. Rockefeller's is my Go To place whenever I want to meet a friend thanks to the excellent service, food and ambience. read more

I took my wife to a comedy show. We booked a table in advance. It felt as if they were overbooked so we ended up on a high table in a corner, constantly overseen by staff. Our food was barely OK and it took us half an hour to get the check - with mandatory tip on it. I tried to reach out for management, in the restaurant, they day after. No one cared. And that brings it pretty much to the point: they do not care. Would I go again: probably not. read more

Solid food, lackluster service. We live in the area and try this place every 6 months to a year. Every time, we thoroughly enjoy the food, but the service makes it tough to incorporate into our usual rotation. Today, we ordered 2 Sancho burritos, a kids fresh toast, and a Bloody Mary. For the record, the Sancho Burrito is pretty excellent, the combination of bacon, shredded beef(maybe pork), avocado, etc is excellent. The French toast is also killer. Admittedly, all of the issues I'm about to list w the service are pretty small/minor, but there were a lot, so here we are: - water glass had tajin/margarita salt and some grime when it was dropped off - when I requested a new glass for water, it took 15 minutes - had to flag someone else down for it - food hit the table before the Bloody Mary (which we ended up cancelling) - table did not have cutlery/silverware, had to request and wait for that as well while our food cooled down I have to mention that all staff members we interacted with were nice, kind, considerate. However, this surprisingly did not convert into good service. We frequent a lot of other restaurants in the riv, and some in Hermosa/Manhattan - and we do try this place at least once a year, but it always just feels we aren't quite taken care of, and that we have to be proactive in order to get what we need to round out the service here. Hope things improve, see you sometime early 2027 probably. read more

Buddy of mine and I stopped in as we were bar hopping in the riviera village area. This ended up being our last stop and am glad we came here. We were able to sit at the bar right away. The bartender (forgot his name) was awesome and attentive. The place was lively since there was a World Cup match taking place when we were there. I wasn't too hungry so just ordered some chips and guac which was really good! My buddy had a cheeseburger and said it was tasty as well. For drinks, I tried their pizza port amber ale and their house blonde. Both were ice cold out of the draft. Will return here in the future to dine outside on their patio areas. read more

Decided to try the restaurant for our book club meeting. Two members had a table by the time I arrived and there were only four of us. It took a while to get a waitress, it was around 4 o'clock and they were getting ready for a tasting event so that was a minus for them but once we got a server she was attentive and helpful. They have a good list of items for happy hour but I had the chicken sandwich which was very moist and tender. It was delicious.Someone tried the meatballs which they loved and the truffle Mac which was also delicious. So want to return to try the happy hour menu. read more

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C. Marriage saver. So, my wife and I actually had care for our two kids in the same night so we were able to go out to dinner, which we were excited about. We chose a restaurant down the street from this place (Montauk), and boy was it terrible. My wife and I were still hungry and wanted dessert so we went to the Rockefeller, and it was a great choice. After dropping over $200 at the other place, we were pleasantly surprised to see the very reasonable prices for the food at the Rockefeller. We told our waiter that we were in a hurry to get our kids because of the bad experience that we had down the street and did a fabulous job of getting our food to us super-fast. Food: My wife got the baja fish tacos and they were presented amazingly and my wife loved them. I got the hot chocolate chip cookie and the bread pudding and literally inhaled both of them. Both were great. Ambiance: This place is so cute, inviting, relaxing, friendly, clean. Just a place that feels comfortable. Staff: Our waiter was so nice, understanding, quick and made a great recommendation on the bread pudding. Price: When we got our bill, just wow! The total bill was less than the tip that I left at Montauk and the food was 10 times better at the Rockefeller. This Rock(s)-efeller. Thank you! We will be back for sure. read more

Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch menu is different than the dinner menu. Please check on the menu you look at. The restaurant had nice outdoor dining and does have inside dining as well. The service was okay, no real issue. The food was average. I had the fish tacos but didn't seem to have much flavor. More sauce or like lime wedges would have been great. The old fashioned I had was missing something. read more

Fantastic service! I'd definitely go back for their Sweet Potato Balls- YUM! They also have a burger of the month which is $2 on Tuesdays- awesome deal. We sat outside along the side of the restaurant, cool spot to sit and hang out with friends. I'm so impressed with the service. In our section there were two large parties surrounding our four person table. Our table was regularly checked up on and not neglected. read more

Great little gem hidden in Redondo Beach. Nice crowd and delicious food. Lovely stuff, that is always here to help.

I like Rockefeller quite a bit...and my daughter freakin' loves it so when the kids were out after a half day at school today to start Winter Break, I chose to take them there for a special lunch. I believe the first time my wife and I went was right when things re-opened after the Pandemic. What's that, you ask in 2030 as you read this? Oh, well, it's a LOOOONG story. Naturally, back then, we sat on the patio to the right since we ALL had to sit outside at the time and...SOCIAL DISTANCE! When's the last time you heard those words?? Thank God, that's over. One plague every 100 years, right? I made a reservation easily on Opentable to sit OUTSIDE (and get the 100 points!) but this time it was because we had our pup with us. I docked just a star because we had to wait at the entrance to be seated for quite a bit; it was a little odd. I think they were understaffed which I can understand during the holidays when some (not me) 'might' call in sick to do last minute Hanukkah/Christmas/Kwanzaa shopping. I get it, though, and it wasn't too off-putting. It being the holidays, naturally, I ordered a 'Royal Holiday' ($14) with Empress 1908 Gin, pineapple juice, fresh lemon juice and coconut. This was a nice and very perty cocktail; just make sure to stir up the coconut at the bottom of the glass else you'll get some syrup at the end...the layered presentation is what they were going for and I appreciated the aesthetic not to mention the taste of the drink. The boy ordered a freshly made lemonade ($4) and seemed to enjoy it. My daughter has had the sweet potato bombs ($10) before and loved them but they did not have the 'tots' available today so we got sweet potato fries instead. They were prepared the same, curried with honey aioli dipping sauce and they were fantastic. She also ordered the Vegan Chopped Salad ($19) and added chicken ($8) which she had said was her favorite based on a prior visit with a friend. She adores this salad and ended up taking half home so I felt sorta 'okay' paying $27 for a salad...I did say, sorta...as long as she eats the leftovers! The boy ordered the Braised Short Rib Tacos ($18) in his typical fashion of going with the waiter's recommendation of the Truffle Mac & Cheese ($14) first but then changing his mind. 3 tacos come with the order as well as a side of black beans and guacamole. I had a bite of the short ribs with guac as well as the beans and they were delicious. Naturally, the boy loved them, too. Trying to be a little healthier (after sweet potato fries), I chose the Seared Ahi Salad ($22) with wonton strips, baby greens, shredded carrots, slivered almonds, green beans, lime crema, Sriracha, tossed in a sesame ginger vinaigrette. The boy had a bite of "just the ahi" as he requested and his first response was, "it's peppery!". He enjoyed it as did I but they should mention that the 5 pieces of beautifully deep red/almost purple or beet red slices were well coated in a finely dusted peppery mix. Some people might not appreciate the spice but I did. This was a good salad and the dressing was light and not overwhelming. I also took half home because I can't eat like I used to and the kids were requesting Yogurtland afterwards for dessert... I appreciated that the crema/Sriracha were on the edges of the bowl and only had a little bit of it preferring my fat intake to be the crispy wontons, nuts and dressing. I think $22 for this salad was also 'okay' but maybe they could have added another slice or two of ahi. After the bit of a wait to be seated at the beginning, our waiter, Stone, did a good job attending to us even if they were understaffed. He was friendly and helpful. The ambiance is great; it's a cool spot, for sure and the front deck where we were seated was a great spot to dine and watch the world go by. My kids only reached for their phones for a brief moment or two. LOL. There's a nifty fire pit in front, too. So, you're in the heart of Riviera Village, steps from the beach, I get that the prices are going to be a little higher, but really, kinda inline with other places not in that perfect location. Lunch for the three of us and my cocktail came to $104.26 including tax. What year am I living in?? I don't 'love' spending that kind of dough on lunch but it is what it is and I certainly don't fault Rockefeller for that. Now, I'll admit, if we had stayed until Happy Hour which is Monday-Friday, 3pm-6pm, I would have absolutely ordered another cocktail...or even had the kiddos starve and wait until then to order...lol. And hey, on Tuesdays, their 'Burgers of the Month' are an astoundingly cheap $2! For that alone, I will absolutely be back! And even not during Happy Hour at the girl's future demands for sweet potato bombs or fries and that chopped not-so-vegan salad with chicken....lol. RECOMMENDED! read more

Well the food was ok. The service was slow for a slow night. Wasn't a wow. Had a party of six and it just was too slow to get our appetizers and food ... there was no one asking if we wanted more drinks they didn't refill the waters for a hot night. It was ok. Tho ... won't be back. read more

Great service, so no complaints there at all. Super nice staff. Overall, I was disappointed with the burger. I'd heard rave reviews on how great Rockefeller burgers were and I say,"meh." I had the Rockefeller burger. $18. It was cooked a perfect medium rare. It looked fantastic. The top of the tomato was not cut off so it slid farther and farther to the back of the bun with every bite until there was no more burger left. It's a big burger and it is filling. They did a nice job warming and branding the bun with their logo. The burger was soft and tender, almost melt in your mouth, but had no umami flavor. Big disappointment. Over fifty bucks plus tip for two burgers, one glass of wine and a glass of iced tea. I'd say, not worth it. The burgers do not include any sides. Also, it was pretty loud. Not easy to carry on a conversation. Again, super nice staff, great service, but I won't be back. It was packed, so I'm glad they are doing well and I wish them much continued success. read more

Horrible level of service. Basic things like asking for napkins and silverware 3 times. By time our food showed up - one of us just walked to their station inside and grabbed our own. Food itself was tasteless. And of course we had to ask for salt and pepper 3 times as well. Plenty of other choices in Riviera. read more

Mixed but only in the way of busser service. We were there for a larger hosted event. The event was wonderful. The manager and bartender were delightful. Honestly, too notch service. But when the event needed to end, the busser girl shoved through, looked annoyed with her eye rolls, sounded annoyed with her audible "puffs." She took away trays of catered food, and then came through and did it again. We understand the event is winding down, but we certainly don't need you physically edging us out. read more

I've passed by this place so many times but this was our first time having dinner here. It's a nice spot for a casual dinner in Redondo. Nothing really too special or unique about the menu.

Cute restaurant near the beach with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Service was good other than it taking a few minutes for the drinks each time we ordered a refill. Made reservations for bottomless mimosas on a Saturday. The bottomless mimosas were less than $25/person and they had your traditional oj, but also guava, mango, and peach juices. The guava one was the best. You have to order an entree if you do the bottomless mimosas, so we shared the chicken and waffle and veggie egg scramble which came with breakfast potatoes. The chicken was kinda chicken tender-y but the hot sauce that it came with was very nice. The veggie egg scramble was okay, too. It's a nice spot for the vibes and bottomless mimosas, but the food was good, not amazing. read more

out of all the rockefeller locations, RB, IMO is the most laid back of them all. wanted to come here to check out their HH and their $2 burgers on tuesdays it is a legit deal, the only catch is you have to purchase a minimum of $6 bev (easy peasy) i asked for a concoction of something fruity, our waitress came back with a really yummy drink. it had strawberry and pineapple. YUM! we then ordered: 2x $2 burgers Truffle Mac & Cheese Rockefeller Mess Zucchini Fries Mexican Street Tacos all were very tasty! will def be back to try the allagash queso dip, the meatballs and the roasted veggie flatbread! made rez via opentable. opted to sit in their patio very dog friendly! spacious patio we got there around 430pm, it started to pick up around 0530pm. service was great! our waitress came around often to make sure all her tables were doing okay parking: metered spaces/lots; you can park blocks up from the beach in the residential area, but that is about a 5-10m walk. read all signs! read more

Been coming here for years for their breakfast burrito (they have my heart bc they always have tapatio on deck). Love the outdoor seating, but the indoor is also vibey. Weekday happy hour has awesome deals, especially the burgers on Tuesdays. And bottomless mimosas for weekend brunch with various flavors (guava's my fave), need I say more?

5 Stars - Where business meets brisket... and cocktails. Had an amazing time at Rockefeller with an incredible new crew of networking friends--and let me just say, this spot is built for social media girlboss energy. From the effortlessly cool vibe to the flawless service, it was the perfect backdrop for business chats that flowed as smoothly as the cocktails. Speaking of cocktails... yes, please. And don't even get me started on the brisket tacos--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The kind of dish that makes you pause mid-convo and moan just a little. Rockefeller is a regular local favorite for a reason. Whether you're in work mode, flirt mode, or foodie mode--this place delivers every time. I'll absolutely be back. read more

All the glasses & dishes are dirty. There was a hair in my food. Service is soooooooo slow.

I usually go here on Saturdays for brunch! Absolutely love the chicken and waffles, besides their breakfast burrito, it's one of the largest portions of food they have specifically during brunch. I absolutely obliterate the chicken and waffles, every time. Not the BEST, but still delicious. Service is good, sometimes not. It really depends on how many customers are there for that day and time. Ambience is fine, it's not overly loud and if it's a nice day outside, it's a wonderful experience. Highly recommend if you are looking to have a fun but relaxing brunch and even more so if you add in the bottomless mimosas. read more

Bottomless Mimosas!!...Say less!!! Instagram sent me here because of the bottomless mimosas and the chicken and waffles. But honestly, I wasn't a fan! The chicken was chewy, like I was chewing on rubber and it was a little bland. However, my husband enjoyed the Sancho breakfast burrito. As far as the mimosas, they are premade but don't fret, the mimosas are solid. Our waitress periodically checked on us with a pitcher of guava, mango, peach, or orange mimosa ready to pour into our glasses. Although I didn't like the chicken and waffles, I was eyeing the French toast so I'll probably be back lol. We ended brunch with the hot chocolate chip chocolate with ice cream. I like when the cookie is cooked all the way through. But the cookie was gooey with crispy edges. read more

Stopped by for dinner, which this place is definitely is more known for brunch, but ended up being a solid dinner choice. We tried the Santa Fe Egg Rolls, BBQ Chicken Flatbread, Rockefeller Gourmet Burger, Chicken Pot Pie, and Collie's Key Lime Pie. The burger was my favorite of the bunch -- actually lived up to the hype and was cooked well. The chicken pot pie surprised me too; really comforting and had good flavor without feeling heavy. Service was friendly and things came out at a steady pace. The place has a relaxed feel and being close to the beach makes it an easy spot to drop into for a meal without overthinking it. A reliable choice if you're in the area for brunch or dinner. Want to go back and try some other things on the menu. read more

This food has lack of seasoning. The fried zucchini had no flavor. The sweet potato bombs were duds the fish tacos which were suggested by another patron were supposed to be spicy. No! We also had the short rib tacos which was suggested as the best thing on the menu was bland. Maybe this food before you get drunk food. How do you open a can of black beans and put cheese on them and think that makes them taste good. Even cheese couldn't make these delicious. I'm really starting to think these coastal local restaurants have horrible food. So disappointing. The service was lack luster but patient. The ambiance is good. I had such high hopes. read more
