  • It's okay. I remember a time where top of the rocks menu and restaurant in general could compete with others such as Durrant's or capital Grille or the compass room... Not anymore. 23$-45$ main course of steak and fish, very reasonable but nothing fantastic anymore.. They just change their menu this past Wednesday and I have to say that I'm not impressed. I frequent this place a lot with my bosses and fellow employees. They have a nice upscale setting but allow for the casual dress. The cocktails I have to say are really good but with the new menu has not been that great.my boyfriend had the 16 ounce ribeye last night and that was completely worth it the way that it was crispy on the outside and the perfect rare pink on the inside was great and the seasoning was great but the side dishes are something less than to be desired. Almost raw green beans, three very little new potatoes, one small round russet potato is your "scalloped potatoes", crunchy the polentas or Kinwall, and the only thing that comes with fries is the burger. The way that they've paired up their sides in their main courses makes you want to order the main course but then ask for a completely different side dishes that are meant to be with other main courses. by far though the only side dish that we enjoyed was the housemaid fries with a side of the jalapeno aoli sauce.mind you the sauce is with a different dish and the fries are with the different dish. I suggest looking at the whole menu and then asking them to substitute sides. I'm not quite sure what they were thinking when they paired up these sides. The main dishes of either chicken fish or steak are really good but as I said the side dishes really aren't that great. The way they serve their bread now as well with one small piece of cornbread and two little slices of French bread is a little ridiculous to. The portions are a lot smaller. But there are a agave honey butter that comes with the bread is very good. Also the fact that they only offer a split pea soup that isn't even that great but only if you get the three-course meal is elect out as well. I just have to say I don't like this new menu and it needs some more tweaking. Also. The way that they serve there pork belly are too large squares with a little bit of sauce seared on the outside. One of my favorite things to order everywhere is pork belly. My two favorite places that have it right now our grass roots kitchen tap andHouse of tricks. It's also very hard to screw it up. But last night they manage to have my pork belly come out ice cold in the middle.when I sent it back and they made me a new one this time it came sliced in the slivers with the crispy outside layer and the raw pork belly on the inside slightly warm. It was much better but it just wasn't a really good cut of pork belly. It also ruined my appetite a little bit after biting into a big chunk of pork belly that was ice cold in the middle. But my boyfriend steak was really amazing. With the weather being the way it is definitely asked to sit outside it has a great view if they would cut back the sum of the shrubbery just about every table would have a great view but unfortunately they have trees covering a lot of the view of the city you could have sitting outside. I grew up in Tempe so I am very familiar with this restaurants and have worked next to it for a long time. I just remember it used to be more upscale and through the years it's become more mediocre. More like just another restaurant attached to a hotel. They really need to bring back some of the good more hearty filling side dishes. The service was good but you do get a lot better service being inside then you do outside. For example after I was given my pork belly and I bit into it and it was ice cold I needed to grab a waiter that was coming out bringing a check for another table to have them take it back because I hadn't seen my waitress. She was very nice and very knowledgeable about the new menu but I noticed that all the servers for the outside which there were three different servers for 8 tables outside, was slow. If you don't like something and you're sitting outside I would highly suggest trying to taste it before your waiter waitress disappears.
