    The food was good, but the service was slow. We waited for our drink for close to 20 minutes and the restaurant wasn’t even busy.

    Wife and I sat in the dining room vesus the bar area, very quiet with great water view. Service was excellent and the Seafood Fra Diavlo and Scallops over Rissoto were both excellent.

    While the service was very good and attentive, the food quality was mediocre - overcooked lobster, stale breads, poor plating - and serving sizes small. The view from the Indoor dining room is quite nice but unfortunately multiple flies interfered with enjoying our meal. We did bring this to our server’s attention which she emphasized with though never brought the flyswatter we requested. Finally, do not waste money on the $7 cappuccino which was small, served lukewarm in an unsightly basic coffee cup and clearly made from a powdered mix!

    21 Rocks is shabby. The wait staff is a bunch of kids horsing around. The place needs to tighten up. It’s a shame for such a formerly beautiful dining room and great place to have been renovated to accommodate multiple purposes and do none of it well.

    Overall, good. Fried seafood needs more seasoning ing, meaning season actual seafood before battering to fry. Molten cake was not warm on inside..
