My 3 girlfriends and I came here for a dinner here to celebrate the birthdays of 2 of our friends in the group. I have particularly wished we celebrated the birthdays at the JW Marriott's Mikado restaurant for their nicer ambiance and experience but it was closed at the time we were there. I was however reassured that Rockwood Grill will be good, and they were right about it! Food was decent, and the ambience was good but most importantly our service was excellent! We made sure we were on time with our dinner because we were also going to Janet Jackson's concert as part of the birthday celebrations and they were on point on everything we requested of them! We ordered the tuna tartare and crispy calamari for our appetizers then had 2 grilled salmon, and scallops for our main for our group of 4 shared as family style and it was plenty! We even had leftovers that went to waste! Over all food was great! The service was amazing. Our water was very professional and very friendly and went above and beyond! He even made sure our 2 friends who were celebrating their birthdays had cakes for their celebration! Ambiance is nice and definitely the service, impeccable! Will definitely go back there again!

Coffee great Ambiance. Inside and patio dining. Buffet on weekends. About $49 an adult. Normal menu is $27 or $28 for every item. Groups of 6 or more an upcharge is added to every item. It's now shown in the menu. Very overpriced restaurant but convenience factor and the Marriott pork sausage are why I keep coming back. Kids menu each is $12. Includes a kids drink like milk or juice.

We came here last night for an early evening smoothie. We had the Pina colada smoothie. Overall, it tasted very good. We then split the loaded backed potato. I enjoyed the potato even though I thought the price was a bit steep. It had cheese, bacon, sour cream chives and butter. I would definitely recommend the stuffed baked potato.

Came the the resort for 4 days to celebrate our wedding anniversary and honestly we ate most of our meals at Rockwood Grill. We had the buffet breakfast every morning which was great, but what really took our breath away were the views at night sitting outside. We even came once to sit at the bar to watch the Cowboys Giants game and ordered from their Happy Hour while we waited for our room to be ready. Every server we had was just absolutely top notch and would love to thank all of them for treating us so well. Our last night here we ate at the best table outside which was right next to the water. Our server ended up giving up complimentary champagne since it was our anniversary and that was the perfect touch to end our vacation here! After dinner, we ordered a bottle of Meomi's Pinot Noir and sat by the fire pits as we talked about what an amazing trip we had under the stars. We loved it here!
