Only tried it because I heard it was under new ownership (it used to be awful it now has new owners, and it 's still awful). In fairness, the fried brie starter I had was lovely and my father really liked his cod things. But, I ordered a Caeser salad. I 'm not a salady person, but I love me a Caeser. What turned up was a mixed chopped salad with that nasty red bitter lettuce, onions, tomatoes, the world 's smallest ever soggy crutons and a dressing that looked and tasted like it was left over from a 1970s Beefeater Prawn cocktail. Oh, and fresh coriander sprinkled all over the top. Don 't get me wrong, I love coriander, but all over a pretend Caeser salad? Non. No bueno. One bite. Gross. I politely said to the server that it tasted a bit off . She told me to hold on. I held on. Enter Mr Chef dude. He proceeded to mansplain that it WAS a Caeser salad, because it has Caeser dressing on it (highly debatable, but whatever Mr Chef dude). I told him, no, a Caeser salad is romaine lettuce, crutons, shaved parmesan and a dressing made from garlic, dijon, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Worcester sauce and anchovies (sometimes egg). Mr Chef dude looks at me with a steely glare. I 'll make you one with romaine lettuce then, he snarls. I decline. What do you want then? He growls. I tell him nothing. [I 've worked in enough kitchens to know better than to eat anything after you 've sent food back.... worth remembering BTW peeps]. In their defence, they didn 't charge for the faux Caeser salad. But no apology — at all. Oh, and my mum 's meatballs sucked too, but she didn 't say anything because she was too embarrassed. However, the server took her full plate away without even asking if things were OK or if there was a problem (huge red flag). So there you go. If you do go to Rocky 's then step away from the meatballs and swerve the Caeser salad. ... go for the fried brie and the cod things.
Sorry no pictures to share as I was too hungry to stop and take photos. I had the Brie to start, followed by the roast beef which was gorgeous. The veggies were cooked to perfection and so nice to have both the Yorkshire’s and roasties home made. I was then really greedy and had the sticky toffee pudding with custard. Couldn’t fault a thing. Great service too by all the staff.
Best Sunday lunch in Nerja. Four of us each tried different means. So tender and succullent. Not pre cooked sliced meats. Potatoes and yorkshire perfection. Not usual veggies though.
