Taking inspiration from the great steakhouses of North America, Rockpool Bar & Grill's focus is on top quality produce. Specifically, their beef is sourced exclusively from Australia's best producers. You may pair the steaks with wines from an outstanding wine menu.
Beyond steak, Rockpool Bar & Grill's cold bar selections include oysters, caviar, ceviche and veggies, just to name a few. You can start off with hot starters of seafood and vegetable. Complement wood-fired grilled beef with salads, pastas and other side dishes. Finish off with desserts of ice cream, cake or cheese.
Rockpool Bar & Grill is also an ideal place for board meetings, parties and other special events. There are private dining rooms that can be divided into intimate spaces or combined to make one major room for a bigger party.

Went for mother's day and v v disappointed. Service was amateur, food cold and tasteless, the pavlova was, however, as great as always. Used to be one of my favourites but 2 v average experiences in a couple of months and won't be back. Sorry. Melb has too many great restaurants to go back for average food and service.

Appalling service. We regularly attend this restaurant and couldn't have been less satisfied by the service. We twice requested the senior staff to our table and despite acknowledging our concerns and promises of greater service, nothing improved.
A Mothers Day lunch ruined, next time we go to a more consistent restaurant.

This is an amazing restaurant. I am not a big red meat eater, and I cannot stop myself from booking in at this place. The menu has great variety and the staff are extremely knowledgeable especially about the wines. For those who are wary about the price, rest assured that it is worth every cent!

I have dined here several times and the level of food and service has always been consistently high. While dining I noticed James Packer and T Woods were also enjoying a meal as James polished off his meal with ease! My steak was cooked as ordered and my chocolate dessert was fantastic.

Hubby and I had dinner at Rockpool recently, to celebrate a special occasion while on holiday in Melbourne. We had a lovely night. The steaks were superb, the wine list extensive and the service was good. Only a few negatives, it would have been nice when we ordered our sides, the potato and cabbage gratin and seasonal veges, if the waiter had told us the latter was mostly cabbage too, as we would have picked something else.
Also, the balance in the Bearnaise sauce served with the steaks was way off, making it very acidic and not overly pleasant. Everything else though was outstanding, and the ambience great. Loved seeing the meat aging cabinet on the way in.

Was looking forward to it and the prestige that has come with this restaurant made my stomach grumble. Overall the food was great except for one disappointment. That is, what they are famous for, the steak. When you pay $75 for a steak, it better be good. It wasn't juicy, no succulent meat flavour, just bland chewy stuff really. Other than that it was a good meal but very expensive.

Celebrated my birthday here and left disappointed with nearly every dish except the sides and dessert. Awesome potatos but not enough stars for the mains to pull up to pass and for the price really these days you can get much better quality in a gastropub.

Had our second visit to Rockpool Bar & Grill and the food was as good as the first time - absolutely beautiful! Certainly one of the more expensive places to dine out but for a special occasion well worth it in our eyes. Will certainly be going back.

Couldn't fault the food. Was absolutely beautiful, the best and freshest possible ingredients and cooked to perfection with sensational flavour. You certainly do pay for it though, it's definitely not cheap. The waiters were excellent, however the side I ordered never came which was a bit disappointing (thankfully it wasn't on the bill). Also as was another reviewers experience, I had a 6:00pm booking and had to queue outside until at least 6:10pm when the doors finally opened.
