    Opened up with Oysters Rockefeller that had a nice balance of toppings and beacon that did not over power the oyster. Followed up with clams that were great and the sauce for dipping bread We ended with Halibut and it too was a nice balance of flavors. Drinks were made fresh and without a long wait. Great overall experience

    Service was excellent. Not sure why the restaurant is set up as almost all two tops. As to the food, oysters were excellent, shrimp cocktail was also excellent. When it came to the cooked food, the salmon was way overcooked, almost inedible. Fish and chips was good. Dessert was good. Noise level almost intolerable. Terrible acoustics. OK, but not competitive with similarly priced Scottsdale restaurants.

    First time visiting Rockefeller for husband's birthday and we were very impressed with the service and the vibe. The restaurant is tucked away at The Mercado in Scottsdale which in itself, has a quaint feel. As we approached the restaurant, the large door was quite inviting. Once inside, the huge bar catches your eye right away and you can see the bartender's mixing up drinks and enjoying laughs with the patrons. We were early for our reservation which was no problem, the hostess greeted us right away and we were able to choose where to sit. We picked a high-top right by the bar so we could get a good look at all the fun cocktails being made. Our server introduced himself and let us know it was still Happy Hour and pointed out a few good selections. We chose the shrimp ceviche, which was really good and for drinks we had a couple of spicy Paloma's which were also quite good. As we reviewed the menu, there were so many options, we knew it would be hard to choose. Jacob suggested the Chilean Sea Bass, so we took his advice, and the Blackened Halibut was our 2nd selection. These dishes did not disappoint, the plating was beautiful and the sauces complimented the fish without overpowering. To top off an amazing evening, a slice of NY style strawberry cheesecake was brought to the table in celebration of B-Day which was heavenly. We had a great experience and will definitely put this on our fine dining rotation. If you are looking for really good seafood, you need to try Rockefeller.

    Service was outstanding. For was fabulous! We ordered the octopus ceviche, the salmon burred Blanchard’s and the sea bass. Sauces were outstanding. Artichike risotto was creamy and cooked to perfection. Veggies were nicely done and not overcooked. Ceviche was flavorful and refreshing. Please bring back you seafood risotto🩷🙏🏻 Thank you for the birthday cheesecake. A very nice touch.

    The restaurant is too loud. I made a reservation, made it clear I was hard of hearing, had a waitress that was hard of hearing and directly next to the kitchen door. You will not see me again. I love Publicco and your entire staff, but will not return to Rockefeller. Tod Carson

    We enjoyed our dinner, the only complaint was that it was very warm inside the restaurant like the AC definitely needed to be turned up a bit. But the service was great, and the food was good.
