What Радоја Булајић doesn't like about Rock Cod Cafe:
We waited an hour to pick up our order. Another hour later, when the food arrived, it was barely edible and wrong. Then we stopped the sleepy waitress, who was not even able to erase our controls that were also wrong. We spent hours in this facility on a sunny day, and we hope that no other careless people need to eat in here. Buyer Careful. View all feedback. What Daphnee Flatley likes about Rock Cod Cafe:
My wife and I go a ways back with this restaurant. It used to be a tough seat to find as line ups were the norm and then... not so much... for good reasons in our opinion. Fast-forward, the Rock Cod has new owners, but...with said owners having past RC history as they had worked there throughout. Hence we were skeptical that (numerous) aspects within would show marked improvement. Happy to report that improvement was... View all feedback.
