We so enjoyed Rocco’s, every night of our stay had a pre-dinner cocktail and enjoyed the view before heading out for dinner. On our last night, we had dinner here as well. It was great. We were celebrating our anniversary and they brought us a desert. Everyone who took care of us was so friendly, Pietro, Sasha & Lucia!

First time at Rocco and it was amazing, the food 10/10 service 10/10 and the biggest selection of drinks I’ve ever seen, was busy yet quiet noise level, tables not close together, would recommend and the view tops it off

We had a wonderful evening at Rocco - the food was amazing (the warm pita bread makes any of the dips even better, and the saffron rice was just incredible!), the cocktails were great creations, the view was of course stunning and our waitress was just the best! Alejandra made sure that we weren’t missing anything, that we enjoyed our evening (so did her manager but we didn’t get his name) and her charming character made the overall experience even better!

We stayed at another Crystalbrook hotel, and booked dinner at Rocco for a girls' night catch-up/staycation. The communication with Fabrizio, the manager, was amazing from the start. He organised a bottle of lovely 0% rosé to be available for a sober member of our party, which was awesome. The location on the rooftop on the Esplanade is stunning. The Moroccan-style decor beautiful. All the service, from the host as soon as we arrived, to our absolutely gorgeous and friendly waiter, Alejandra, was 5 star. Fabrizio came to check everything was OK and we received the wine he'd ordered. But the food was next level. We had a labneh, poached pear and dukkah dip to start, and then shared the lamb cooked in whey, chicken and pomegranate skewers, and broccolini side, and everything was absolutely divine. The wine list was well curated, and although we didn't indulge in cocktails, the ones we saw looked great. Thanks so much to all the staff for a fabulous night, and special shout-out to Alejandra for making our night, and being such a ray of sunshine. 10/10 night.

Great service I went around 6ish , the Host was OK, I informed her that I had thongs on and in your site that states no things. I asked and kinda got a shrug, like wow you have thongs on. Not to be put of I used the bathroom, stunning views. I got a great seat next to the hostess excess area think table 22. Far left cornet next to the bar. I literally just had a a bad experience at little sisters. The reason I went to Rocco's was because of that. My server was outstanding helpful and courteous with a genuine smile. I didn't get her name she is asian and works at Calypsos. What a gem she is. God bless stay humble and kind

Rocco was such a pleasant surprise. Was walking on the esplanade and noticed the building and decided to go in. Coming out of the lift are first presented with the exquisite atmosphere and we are guided to our table by the very nice host. The light up menus are such a nice touch. We were seated at a high table but the chairs were so comfortable. Alejandra was our waitress and she did an amazing job guiding us through the night and helping us with our cocktail choices. The food is great quality-price and the Lalla cocktail is a new favourite. All the front of house staff was very welcoming but I have to give a special thanks to Alejandra for her exceptional service. Will definitely visit again when back in Cairns in the future

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We recently had the pleasure of dining at Rocco’s, the stunning rooftop bar at CRYSTALbrook Riley, and it was an unforgettable experience! We booked their Valentine's dinner special, and the food was nothing short of phenomenal. The team was incredibly accommodating, making special adjustments for my seafood allergy, which I greatly appreciated. Our waiter for the evening was exceptional—his service truly deserves five stars! Although I didn't catch his name, he went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of throughout the night. His friendly demeanor and engaging conversation added a lovely personal touch to our evening. With breathtaking views and an inviting atmosphere, Rocco’s is the perfect spot for a night out or to enjoy drinks at sunset. We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Cairns!
