    It was a very enjoyable evening with delicious Valentine menu. There was plenty of food and the four of us all found something we particularly favoured. It was busy which made for a pleasant atmosphere and not too loud.

    Great choice of restaurant for an early Valentine’s Day meal. Food was delicious, really was so tasty and enjoyed every dish we ordered! Service was 10 out of 10 the waiters were so attentive and explained everything and had such good knowledge of the ingredients on the plate. The low score for the ambience was music was being played quite loudly but with the amount of people in the restaurant trying to have a conversation it was like the two was competing with each other. When the restaurant started to wind down a little bit, it was a lot more enjoyable atmosphere. That would be our only criticism it was our first and certainly won’t be our last visit to ROKA..: will definitely be back to try the blackened cod and the lamb cutlets!😍
