Our waitress Heather was charming and attentive. Rococo is lucky to have such a wonderful employee. We just happened to show up on a cold and snowy day. We were able to sit by the fireplace and Heather made sure there was a new log on the fire to keep it nice and toasty. We are looking forward to our next opportunity to return. The crab cakes were awesome, as usual. Thanks to your entire staff for making our experience so perfect. Ron and Linda Campbell

We had a wonderful dinner here last night. From the moment you walk in, the restaurant has wonderful ambiance that’s very inviting and intimate with curtains separating the tables. Our waitress Monica was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive! The food was incredible, all 4 of us got different entrees-all equally delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone
