We had a great meal and experience. It was our teenagers first time to a Hard Rock, they enjoyed it. Loved the picture keepsake we bought. Thanks for that option.

Our starter of Harvest corn soup was delicious; the creamed soup was topped with corn relish and a few kernels of popcorn, which added a very different twist to the overall taste. We had scallops with pork belly and zaatar coated cobia, both of which were cooked to perfection. Dessert consisted of chocolate mousse, which was a “dry” version of mousse and a glass of house made limoncello, which unfortunately tasted more like lemon flavored water. We could have done without the mousse or the limoncello. The noise level was high in large part due to a family with children having dinner. The service was excellent! We would definitely return.

The salad bar was delicious and always with a wide variety! I pretty much fill up there alone. The beef cuts were a little tough, which was a first for us. The pork belly saved the day though, yum!
