    My experience at The Rocks Mornington was extremely pleasant. I had heard great reviews from friends so I was eager to try it out - definitely did not disappoint. The food was exceptional (ordered the Kingfish Crudo which is a must, Crab Tacos, Mooloolaba prawns, Salt Bush squid and the Grilled fish n chips). The ambience was great including the view. Will definitely be returning!

    Mussels were poorly prepped with most mussels still with the beard and threads still obviously in place - very unappetising Fish/chips - ++ oily Oysters - sub standard, by far the worst we have had in recent times Disappointing experience and well below their usual standard

    The most noticeable were those who served us - attentive, knowledgable, responsive, quick, and courteous. The food was very good. We requested two times to have music volume lowered so we could have conversations. Overall very nice. Please arrive early to acquire parking space for your vehicle.
