Le Rock
French Bistro
Le Rock's intimate private dining room wraps your group of up to 16 in old-world Parisian elegance, where dark wood paneling and mirrored walls create the kind of sophisticated backdrop that makes every toast feel momentous. The classic French bistro fare—think perfectly executed coq au vin and buttery escargot—paired with the room's moody lighting transforms any gathering into something that feels deliciously clandestine. Right in the heart of Rockefeller Plaza, it's the rare find that delivers both authentic bistro charm and the polished service your important dinner deserves.

- group dinner, party of 6
Was able to grab a reservation for 6 for dinner. The food is exceptional. Definitely get the soufflé for dessert. Service was also spot on. Our initial reservation was canceled because they had an event, so they gave us a complementary glass of bubbly. My only complaint is the noise level. Although the interior is stunning, this could do with a little noise reduction elements such as curtains or wall pieces. I could only have a conversation with the 2 people sitting next to me as I couldn't hear my friends across from me.
- group lunch, party of 6
Party of 6 for lunch. Pasta appetizer shared for two - very nice flavoring but only served cool, not warm. Bibb salad shared for two - nice but you could read the wine list through the cheese. Chicken salad absolutely delicious! Omelettes were quite nice. Service was good. Ambience was a little bland for such a prime location. Dining room is very noisy.
- friends dinner
This is for sure one of my favorite new restaurants in NYC this year! The art deco Inspired interior offers a beautiful setting for diners, the bar area and dining area are well seperated. The menu seems quite expansive but everything we ordered was simply delicious and divine. The leeks, bison, halibut and duck were notably delicious. And the cocktails were well curated and executed. We loved the Chambly Spritz if I remember the name correctly. The service was another highlight, the maitre d and our waiter were indeed very helpful on our table arrangement as we bumped into another group of friends at the restaurant, so we could sit together at the big table. The waiters and team were extremely attentive and on point throughout the night! We even got our last orders in few minutes after the kitchen was supposed to be closed as we enjoyed the meals and dining experiences there so much. Love the vibe and people there, it was just perfect! The only thing I would mention is the noise level could be extremely high diring peak dining hours as you can hear the talks bounce around the swanky dining room easily. Can't wait to go back again!
- group dinner, party of 6
Beware of restaurant “tricks” the waiter might play to get you to order dishes you don’t realize your are agreeing to Went with a party of 6 so we ordered a good amount of food. After taking our orders the waiter asked if we wanted bread and butter, which we said yes thinking it would be your typical complimentary bread and butter. Although the bread technically was, the butter was part of a “butter and radish” dish that ended up on our bill x2. Another example was he asked if “fries were ok?” Under the pretense that they were included on certain entrees we ordered. They brought out 2 sides of fries and turned out that 1 was included but the 2nd got added to our bill. All in all I didn’t notice until after paying bc our bill was so large anyway but it’s disappointing that a restaurant like this with good food might do tactics like this so just take this as a warning to be aware of if you go
