I brought my family to Rockefeller for my birthday dinner, including my mom, who had just undergone hip surgery. I chose the restaurant thinking it would be a comfortable and easy place for us to enjoy a special evening together. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. When we asked if the kitchen could remove the meat from a chicken dish for my mom, who was struggling physically and needed something a little easier to manage, we were told they couldn’t accommodate the request because the chefs didn’t have time. What made that response even more frustrating was how quiet the restaurant was. There was a private party being served by a food truck, and only about four tables occupied in the dining area. Several staff members were simply standing around near the front. It certainly didn’t seem like a situation where such a small request was unreasonable. Then, at the end of the meal, my son realized he had left the handmade birthday card he had made for me on the ledge by the window. He immediately ran back to retrieve it, but in the approximately two minutes we had been gone, the card had apparently been thrown away. You would think that something as personal as a handmade card might be set aside rather than immediately discarded, especially when a family had just left the restaurant. It was heartbreaking for my son and an incredibly disappointing way to end the evening. Between the lack of consideration for my mom and the handling of something so meaningful to my son, this was far from the birthday dinner I had hoped for. Unfortunately, I’ll think twice before returning anytime soon.

Had a great get-together at the Rockefeller. Our server was super helpful by modifying a dish for me and offering an off-the -menu option to make it just what I wanted. Just enough table attention to make sure we were well teaken care of, but not so much to be intrusive.

Location on Pier is so easily walkable. Menu has great tasty creative but familiar (what I call) “American food”. Something for any appetite. Drinks are well-made and plenty of variety. Interior is like dinner at someone’s fancy but cozy house. Totally upscale but relaxed and easy.I’ve been several times over the years and never had a bad time. Love it. Highly recommend. Worth the trip from anywhere in LA!

The service and the food were great!!! We were promptly seated. The food came out fairly quickly which sometimes I’m not too leery of, but it was hot and delicious. Will definitely be going again.

We go here when we want high quality, good food with great service. It’s a staple for our family and often our go-to in Hermosa when we all want something different. The robust menu easily ensures everyone finds something satisfying and the service can’t be beat.
