Such a great way to top off a day trip to the beautiful Mornington Peninsula. Was contemplating between The Rocks and some other restaurant but glad we decided to come here instead. The Rocks was a solid choice.
Keeping it short, The Rocks had all the qualities needed to make the dining experience pleasant. Delicious fresh foods, prompt friendly service, and a great selection of wines straight from Mornington. Very safe bet if you are going for a nice romantic seafood dinner. My favourites were their Tempura Oysters, Seafood Spaghetti and Lamb Shoulder. They were all bloodly delicious. Can't say they were the best I've ever had but definitely above average. 0 complaints. Also, would love to try their Seafood Platter next time. Too bad they didn't offer at the time.
It was too dark for us to enjoy the view at the time but I have no doubt the view's sick during the day considering how it's located right by the pier. In fact, go for a walk towards pier. It's dark and intimate - such a great bonding opportunity if you know what I'm saying. There were heaps of people fishing which was pretty cool as well.

A great way to top off a day trip to the picturesque Mornington peninsula region would include a stop for lunch at The Rocks, situated right on Mornington Pier.
We sat right by the window which opened up with an incredible view of Port Phillip Bay.
Staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. I can’t fault the service.
The one gripe I had was the small serving my partner and I received on our seafood platters. Perhaps the kitchen can fill the plates with complimentary sides and improve the design of the plates? One king prawn, really? I’m sure they can afford to be a bit more generous and throw a few more prawns, clams or scallops on the plate??
The quality of the fish was fresh, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from a seafood restaurant situated right on the water.
The sweet potato fries were crunchy, seasoned with sea salt and accompanied with aioli, lovely but overpriced.
Time for dessert - the profiterole served with chocolate iced cream was quite nice. The waitress poured chocolate syrup over our profiteroles which was a classy touch. The only advice here... top it off with some crushed unsalted peanuts there you go ... perfection! The great coffee deserves a mention here too.
The rocks is a nice restaurant. Me and my girlfriend went here during a storm, sat outside and watched the rain with a seafood platter. The platter was massive, although not too filling (a good thing!). Would definately go back here.
We were served by a fantastic young gentleman (Michael I believe his name was). He was on top of everything, could not have asked for better service. The food was great, restaurant ambience was nice too. Would highly recommend
Coquettes and barramundi were amazing. Lemon myrtle vinaigrette is delicious on oysters
Dined at the rocks with a couple of friends a couple of weeks ago. The weather was perfect so we opted to sit out on the deck. We were all not too sure what to expect as the reviews for this place are very mixed - some love it, some suggest otherwise.
🍴dumplings, eggplant bao, bbq whole calamari and zucchini noodle salad with poached salmon. Standouts were the eggplant bao and the whole calamari. The calamari was tender and not chewy. All of the food tasted fresh.
💁🏼♀️ the servers were lovely, no complaints. The prices of some menu items is a bit outrageous such as two prawns (yes, XL, but still) for $26... The overall atmosphere of The Rocks is laid back and chilled, however the menu elicits somewhat high dining prices.
Great service and delicious food with a fantastic view of the sea. Extensive wine list and range of dishes. We began with betel leaf salmon and miso eggplant which were delicately and thoughtfully balanced. For mains we had the whole grilled flounder and pork schnitzel on the bone. The flounder was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. The schnitzel had the ideal ratio of batter and pork and was perfectly spiced.
Came here on a Saturday to check out the beach and the rocks. This place has a real nice view of the water. We ordered the fish and chips each and some oysters to share. The fish was fried perfectly - crispy thin batter and tender fish. The chips were crunchy and moreish. The oysters were fresh and tasted of the sea. Service was a little slow. We waited half an hr between our starters and mains. Otherwise a great lunch.
Nice restaurant with good view and friendly staffs. Fried calamari was nice, salmon miso something was ok but we love crab burgers so fresh and crispy !! We had a great time there !!
Lovely aspect, interesting Asian influenced menu showcasing seafood - love choice of small & larger plates but sharing the best!! Great place for a long lunch with local wine options
Wonderful spot of exploration of your taste buds.
The good: views and sea breeze/ attentive service/ food selection- fresh seafood-oysters and oysters!
Bad: nothing to see here
The ugly: seats are a little uncomfortable. I really had to look hard to bring it to your attention.
Thank you team we had a wonderful experience.
eclectic fare on the pricier side. it's located in a great spot. it did get quite busy on Saturday night, so i'd recommend this place if you're not in a rush. the service was good & they all worked hard. our waiter managed to memorise our entire food order, i was pretty impressed!
the dishes were very appealing & delicious! we ordered a bunch of small plates to share with the table & found that it worked well & allowed us to try a little bit of everything.
What beautiful fresh seafood that was carefully thought out with their flavour combinations! We had the seafood experience and every dish was amazing, from the lemon myrtle mignonette, to their miso and kombu butter mussel broth and the xo sauce with scallops!
Great staff, beautiful atmosphere, will definitely be back!
Amazing food! Lovely crew! Wonderful view! What more could you want. Highly recommend. We had the crab slider, oysters, chicken Bao, chips (for the kids), Gyoza and some delicious beers 🍻 yum!
Amazing restaurant. Very happy with the service and food. We have been to the Rocks twice now and always leave satisfied and full
I didn’t find the service very warm from some of the staff. Had to call someone over to get our order taken. Food was really enjoyable though. Not the cheapest but was a nice treat.
We did not have a booking when we came in but we got lucky that a table is open for 1 1/2 hours. The service was excellent and we love our food especially the spareribs. I love the idea of sharing plate. Price is really basically near enough the same as the other restaurants we’ve visited in the Main Street. Me and my girl friends enjoyed it there. Staff are attentive and has attention to details. Will definitely come back again with my family.
