Restaurants near George F. Tyler Mansion

Iron Hill in Newtown has not been good for quite some time. However, last night was great. The menu seemed different and the food we ordered was good. Hopefully this is the first step toward them getting better 

Lovely attentive waitress. Excellent food. Seated promptly with reservation.

We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner. Our server, Carlee, was so kind and attentive I felt like we were old friends. The atmosphere is perfect for a special dinner, yet not at all stuffy or pretentious. Ideal for a romantic dinner for two or a family night out. The regular menu is loaded with options. Everything we’ve tried has been delicious. I often get a veal dish because it’s tender enough to eat with a fork and I just can’t make it like that at home. I’ve had many of the pasta dishes, and the gnocchi is my favorite. The Valentine’s Day menu had a few themed additions, such as the Amore Arancini appetizer, comprised of three flavorful, beefy rice balls that we enjoyed. Portion sizes are large enough that we packed some up to enjoy the next day. The dessert menu has many tempting offerings. I was stuffed, but I made a selection to take home. We both agreed that we need to come back more often.

I think I have moved Rocco's into a top 5 restaurant for me. The Steaks are 100% legit here, I normally get the strip and that is amazing. Got the ribeye as I saw it was the same price as the strip, which I found slightly odd as the ribeye is a better flavorful cut. The steak was cooked perfect, the crust on the steak was perfect. Prices have gone up a bit over the past 12-18 months but the steak is comparable to any legit steakhouse in the city if not better. Oysters to start were great. We will be back for sure!

From the moment we walked in and were greeted to the time we left - we had the ultimate first class dining experience! Our waiter Damon was super friendly and engaging - quickly asking us if we were celebrating a special occasion! It was my father’s 81st birthday! After he took our drink order he came back and decorated our table with happy birthday confetti!!! The thought was so nice and unexpected. It made my dad smile and we really enjoyed the moment. Damon was quick to take our orders and answer some of our silly questions! Service was excellent and the food was great! Damon then brought over dessert along with a special plate that said Happy Birthday in chocolate with 2 sweet desserts and a candle!! We all sang happy birthday and my dad was thrilled. It was the perfect night!! We all agreed that the experience was perfection and that is was Damon who truly made the difference! We know if we come back again - we want to sit in Damon’s section. He’s an absolute professional! All the best Abbee
