We wanted something to eat and a beer. Very difficult to get the attention of the staff. When they finally approached, we were informed that they did not have any beer on tap only bottled beer. This is a bar and they should have told...us when we were seated and given the beer menu. So we ended up leaving.More

Came here for lunch exhausted and very hungry after a long, long walk. This place was perfect for refueling in a relaxed environment! They took great care of us...especially our kids!

We really enjoyed this bar, in fact we popped in several times during our stay on Santa Cruz. The first time was on New Year's Eve. The bar was busy but not packed and we were served quickly and in a friendly way given that...the bar was busy. I was impressed by the craft beers brewed locally and we also enjoyed the cocktails. We came back for lunch on a different day and all enjoyed the food and the soft drinks, particularly the fruit drinks. The bar includes some history related to the days of the US Airbase on Baltra, and there is impressive decoration including the bar itself. Would definitely come here again if I was back on the island.More

Just an excellent all-round experience. The staff are tremendous - really welcoming, friendly, fast, and caring. The food is good, and an excellent choice of drinks menu. I was wary of going to an Asian restaurant instead of enjoying local cuisine, but The Rock team...do a terrific job of making dining there an enjoyable dining experience.More

The beer selection was good and the outdoor seating and indoor was cool. It ended there. The food order was messed up and the Asian dish I ordered was pathetic. So was the rest of the food which was either too sweet or salty. Maybe...a good choice for drinks and snacks. Would not do dinner here.More

Great location on the Main Street of Charles Darwin road near the front port. The appeal from the exterior and interior. Very well constructed and designed. Menu had multiple options breakky lunch dinner and drinks were reasonably priced for an island restaurant/bar. The first place...I’ve ever seen to have two happy hours one from 3-5pm then from 10pm-12am. The food took a while to arrive that’s the only reason for the loss of one star however they may have been understaffed, but it was well worth it once the food arrived! They had multiple condiments and were happy to assist anything else we required. Waitress spoke reasonable English also. We will be coming back for Drinks without doubt!More

funky, eclectic style and open-air windows attracted us here. Very cool carved wood bar that serves a full drink menu. Interesting menu combining island ingredients and flavors (sesame, teriyaki, gochujang) of Asian cuisines. Vegetarian options available. Yakitori, Bahn MI, Pad Thai on the menu along...with salads and burgers. Though I didn’t order it, the Bloody Mary Ceviche sounded and looked quite good. Our server was very attentive during a very quiet time during our visit. Drink choices for us were the Imperial Lemonade-really just a sparkling lemonade-and a delicious Strawberry Passionfruit smoothie. The latter was one of the better versions I enjoyed in the islands. The entrée choices for us were the Tempura Shrimp Bahn Mi with Lemon Syrup and the Baltra Salad. The salad was wonderful. Lettuce, cabbage, peppermint, onion, leeks, and cherry tomato combined with a lemongrass and orange dressing. Topped with a generous portion of wok sautéed shrimp. The flavor profile was so unique and very, very good. The Bahn Mi was also delicious. Perfect bread, a flavorful garlic mayo, and crisp pickled veggies combined with the lightly tempura fried shrimp for a highly enjoyable meal. The advertised lemon syrup didn’t add much, lacking any real flavor. Both of these dishes exceeded expectations. The dessert menu listed Carrot Cake and that’s a go to for us. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream which is not something we see regularly. The cake was unique and delicious. Served warm. Very light cake unlike many dense versions enjoyed previously. Still full of flavor. And instead of a traditional heavy, cream cheese style frosting the slice was topped with something more akin to a glaze. Nicely sweet and perfect for the lightness of the cake. Outstanding. Our experience here led us to return for a second visit when we stayed on the island for one night on our way back home. Highly recommended.More
