Rockpool Bar & Grill Melbourne Overview

Commit to an experience of minimal magnificence, à la Neil Perry style at Rockpool Bar & Grill inside Crown Casino. On first glances the dining room may appear simple; navy blue chairs blend harmoniously with its primary colour partner, red, to create a warm, but uncomplicated setting. Heightening the ambience are the eight metre high ceilings, creating a grandeur of space & suaveness. Little details here create that special dining experience.

Rockpool Bar & Grill is Rockpool's second label. The brand Rockpool stands for quality and integrity and Rockpool Bar and Grill will stand for exactly the same, only more accessible through an a la carte menu structure and a more varied price structure.

THE ROCKPOOL EXPERIENCE
The restaurant will be a produce experience. To enter the restaurant, customers walk through the "Food Hall" and preparation area, to a bar with wine storage cabinets that store some of the world greatest wines at 14 degrees constantly. The food experience is a walk through dry store, hanging small goods and fresh vegetables, as well as looking into a fish filleting room with live crustaceans in 4 fish tanks. Next is the meat aging room with the butcher shop behind, all in view as you walk down the corridor. The bar is comfortable and has some banquet seating with leather inlayed tables, You can eat simple things, from the best burgers to great "crudo" or raw fish and drink lots of great wines by the glass. The bar is a place where you can wait comfortably for a table in the restaurant or have a quick meal - it's all up to you.

ROCKPOOL BAR AND GRILL DECOR
The centre piece of the dining room is a banqueted area that helps separate a fairly large room. The ceilings are 8 metres high, so the space is very impressive. The grill kitchen is open and houses a 2.5 meter wood fired grill. The whole kitchen area is surrounded by a massive beaten copper hood. There is a private dining room and a large balcony for outside dining.

ROCKPOOL BAR AND GRILL MENU
This restaurant is all about the great steak or fresh fish that one is offered. Simplicity is king. The quality of the cooking is modern and faultless. The service revolves around the Rockpool philosophy of hospitality and generosity. It will be become known as one of the most impressive large spaces in Australia. The restaurant will fit 150 customers and there is sitting room for 50 in the bar.

"The cornerstone of good cooking is to source the finest produce".

This is the philosophy that has driven Rockpool Sydney for 17 years, it is the same philosophy that now drives Rockpool Bar and Grill, Melbourne.

absolutely loved it, I have had the wagu twice now and cant wait to get back there. The service is better than anywhere I have eaten. The knowledge of their meals made the nights a step above the rest. Some times you have to forget about the price and really enjoy a night out, this is the place for that.

Signature dish (goats cheese tortellini) absolutely melted in your mouth. Every mouthful was a delight,tantalising and teasing you to want more. I had a wonderful night with my husband celebrating my 40th. Thank you to my 3 sisters and brother for booking and providing the gift card that allowed me to have such a wonderful dinner, to my husband for flying us to Melbourne and the wonderful staff for providing wonderful food and service!!!!!!

I took my husband here for his birthday last year, and we realized there was a whole new level of fine dining out there! From the moment you step into the restaurant, it's all class. Comfortable seating, wonderful servers - and food, ah the food! Food that you just don't want to see the end of! Food that makes you think, "How come I've never tasted something this good before?" Bravo Neil Perry!
