I figured from reviews this place would be amazing. Not so It was just OK. My Hubby's steak was good, my fish was good nothing spectacular and the wait staff weren't even friendly or helpful.

Yes, that pretty much says what I needed to know. While shrimp, scallops and crab are ubiquitous in Virginia Beach, lobsters are pretty rare. Not at Rockafeller's, though! Every Thursday night the hungry lobster lovers arrive for the Double Lobster dinner special. For $25, you are treated to 2 one pound lobsters, perfectly prepared, with side dishes and plenty of...

Couldn't decide where to eat on a Saturday night so we decided to try Rockafeller's since it had been quite some time since we had dined there. The setting is always a plus! Our meals were so delicious and the service was great! Will definitely return again very soon...

All the seafood was excellent. The prime rib was done as ordered, but lacked the taste of a good mid-western prime-rib. Service was very good and the atmosphere good.

We ate here on a Monday evening, 4-22-13. Wonderful view of the boats and Rudee's Inlet, about 3 blocks west of the VB beachfront. Monday night is there prime rib night. Big 8 oz. prime rib ofr $15.99, at least in late April it was. Good prime rib. Service was just OK, maybe pretty good, but nothing to write home... More

I enjoy the earlier bird food and deal. The shrimp dinner is outstanding. The home made coconut cake is the best. I have eaten three times at this resturant this week. Great view of Rudee inlet. Please save me a seat.

The early bird special promised nothing over $15 plus salad and dessert. I had fried shrimp, which were fresh and hand battered. My entrée came with rolls, potatoes, and vegetables in addition to the promised salad and dessert. My husband had fresh flounder, which the waiter offered broiled and blackened in addition to the fried version listed on the menu.... More
