rockcreek

the food psych. i always feel that the chef or the person or persons that prepare you the food, communicate through it emotionally . if you frequent a restaurant you can tell if someone is not paying attention to how they prepare it. i believe food preparation is anexperienceand if someone is happy, upset you can tell by the food they prepare the meal. well. i can tell you that the food is consistently good.

an excellentexperiencewith an emphasis on fish. high noise level but that seems to be common in casual places with great food. our server was personable and knew the menu with excellent suggestions. oysters on the half were fresh with a wide selection from washington. baked oysters were delicious. all three of our mains were beautifully presented, well prepared, with creative sauces and toppings. the key lime pie came deconstructed in a jelly jar - delicious. the "s'more" was beautiful but a little too sweet for my taste. good wine selection. fair price for the quality and service. would definitely go again.

my husband and i went to smoky mountain pizza for dinner my favorite was the great white, it was a great diningexperiencethe service was amazing our server was angela she did a great job we will be going back again this date night thanks again for making ourexperiencewonderful

being raised in the nw, eric donnelly definitely knows how to make seattle cuisine. with originality and quality the dishes are outstanding and is probably one of the best restaurants in the city. i would definitely recommend it to whoever wants to try a wonderfulexperiencein seattle dining.

we love rock creek!. my friend and i had such a lovelyexperienceat rock creek last night. our food was delicious (prawns & grits and hawaiian ono w/ dates and the best damn dessert i've ever had - the rock creek s'mores!) and the service was great. brian made us feel very welcome. that patio on a warm spring eve is an absolute dream. i'm looking forward to becoming a regular!

incredible brunch!. wow! that is how i would sum up ourexperienceeating here on a weekend for brunch. the menu was simply incredible in terms of creativity, taste and presentation. i could write more, but one must simply go check it out for themselves. i have only been here once so i may have caught them on a good day, but it was good enough that i would give them several more chances even if some of them weren't as good as the first time.

couldn't have been better!. i went to rock creek for the first time last night and i have been wanting to go as soon as i left! it was hands down the best diningexperiencei've had in years.

atmosphere was perfect - casual feel of a neighborhood bar but also great for date night or a celebration. the restaurant was packed but didn't feel crammed. the music was just right to be able to talk over.

service was friendly and professional and seemed like they really enjoyed being there and extended that hospitality to the guests. everyone was really accommodating to special diets and food allergies - they asked me before i even has to say anything - which is my most dreaded part of eating out. (most of their menu is gluten free!!)

and the food... there aren't even words. every plate i tried (there were several) was great. my favorite was the icelandic char - best fish i've ever had - ever!! you could tell everything was fresh and high quality - they definitely care where their ingredients come from. the valhrona chocolate cake was definitely unneeded, but so good i will have to plan better to save room next time.

i can't wait to go back for brunch!

food:great--noise:greater. our first visit to rockcreek demonstrated what this restaurant could be: a relaxed ambiance with cool decor accents such as the wrought iron railing between the tables and bar area; an amazing menu filled with delicious food including the neah bay black cod provencale, the asparagus gribiche with lemon, caper, egg, shallot and, oil-cured olives, the prawns st. helena, and fun and tasty s'mores and beignets; excellent service provided by brian.
while all that sounds great, sound is the problem. until things started to thin out around 9pm it was necessary to almost yell in order to communicate across the table. what a shame to ruin what i'm sure would be a superlative diningexperienceif the restaurant was half full or had better acoustic design.

impressive. thoroughly (and surprisingly) impressed by not only the breadth and depth of the menu -- from plenty of oyster options to an almost overwhelming array of fish offered in all sorts of preparations -- but more importantly the quality of the seafood underlying it all. can't miss items include the sake oyster shooter, the hamachi crudo, and the dungeness crab relleno, all of which are unique yet simple in their own way. the calamari "karry-out" is also worth a gander. and the dessert and cocktail menus reflect the restaurant's commitment to ensuring your diningexperienceis solid throughout. highly recommended.
