Dinner with the family , the food was good , different flavors , a little rushed service -but overall a good experience . Upon setting the bill I was charged a service tip of 40% , which I will dispute with Amex. I did not authorize such a charge. Costumer be aware, check the final tip charge. That practice is illegal, fraudulent and in poor business image !

Went for the second night in a row to indulge in the 2 for $99 dinner menu. Upon asking the waitress why we didn’t have that menu after being seated, I was only given the $100 per person “Roka Giveback Menu”. I asked about the promotion I received the prior night only to be told that they discontinued it and replaced it with the more expensive menu. I was disappointed, but continued on with the new menu. After doing research and realizing the 2 for $99 menu was still on the website, I asked again politely to check and make sure that it wasn’t still active and was told the website was incorrect. Almost towards the end of the courses, the waitress informs me that it was a miscommunication within their team and they in fact were continuing the promotion as listed on the website and that I could “come back and ask for the 2 for $99 dinner menu”. That was my entire point for visiting the restaurant that night and I also bragged to my business partner about how amazing that specific menu was (items were different than the new menu). I was caught off guard and felt like I was brushed off, no concessions or accommodations made. Not a good look from one of my fav restaurants. I won’t be back for a while and definitely was embarrassed in front of my business partner.
