| - London, Hong Kong, Scottsdale, people. Yes, somehow our locale has scored enough to have this latest Roka outpost. However, in case you didn't notice, Roka Akor is a palindrome. Yes, I'm a word nerd. But the food, service and atmosphere here are anything but nerdy.
I brought my friend and her vacationing Snowbird parents here and we had a great time. The comped food and drink here ran the gamut, from delicious butterfishwhite asparagus sashimi to chicken skewers and pork and scallop dumplings, which were our favorite. But seriously, of the five appetizer dishes and lychee martinis and French white wine nothing disappointed. $370 for seven people was steep for my budget, but this is the sort of place my parents would like and would patronize. I recommend it for that for sure.
Loved the space, even the distinctive restrooms. The highlight here was the large and airy looking floor-to-ceiling wine collection behind glass cases.
The service here was extremely professional and in case you didn't notice (according to my friend Maya) the women servers here all dress and serve in 4-inch heels. Damn Gina.
