I love a small menu and the dishes are spot on every time I'm there. Great atmosphere, great service, great drinks.

Drinks were good. Food wasn’t good. No flavor in the pasta. Also the rice balls had no flavor too

Great food loved the burger with bacon and duckfries. awesome beer and music selection ? I highly recommend The Rook! My only critique would be loose the white overhead lighting!

Visiting the area and celebrating our anniversary, we searched google for a steakhouse and it lead us here. We passed other chain steakhouses to eat local food. Google was wrong. This is not a steakhouse. A “happy accident” I guess. Food was good.They have a very limited menu. Servings were on the small size for the price but we were satisfied overall with the meal. WouldI go here again if we were in the area? Not sure. Service was fine. Overall it was a good experience.

It's a cute small spot w/a limited menu. The duck fries were pretty good. The duck frite chicken was good but I wasn't into the taste of the blanched collard greens. The cocktails we ordered weren't worth the price. I was not a fan. The cocktail my bfordered was slightly better than mine. If you sit outside, you'll likely encounter beggars asking for money they'll keepcircling around.
