Rockford Bar | Grill — Restaurant in Revelstoke

TLDR: Unmet Expectations, Good Food & Service

My family and I have been here three times, each time on a different visit to Revelstoke. The first time, we were blown away by the environment, service, and most of all, the exceptional food. The asian themed menu items were a welcome sight after days of endless burgers and pasta. We left that night with a full and happy belly. Second time we came, same experience, although we noticed they had removed a few asian items off the menu and replaced them with the typical steaks and burgers. This time, also the third time, we entered and sat down eager to scan the menu. Alas, our expressions turned a little disappointed when we realized that there was one and only one entree left on the menu that was asian themed, and that was the Kimchi Ramen. The other entrees were the typical chicken, salmon, and three different styles of steak. I mean seriously, three different steaks and only a ramen to substitute for the asian elements. We ended up ordering the Ramen, the Chicken with Orzo, and the Salmon with Orzo. The orzo was well cooked and buttery. The chicken was lightly fried yet tender and juicy on the inside, smothered in a cheese paste of some sort. The salmon was cooked to a beautifully orange medium and was tender. The ramen was a giant let-down. The broth resembled NOTHING like a ramen broth. It was watery and tasted faintly of the pickling involved in the making of kimchi. The noodles were okay, and the pork served with it was one dry slab that was fried, not typical ramen pork. For dessert, we had the delectable Salted Toffee Cake, which we recognized from our last visit. It was quite sweet but very, very delicious. Our server was attentive and continuously checked in on us, asking if our food was good. She was very nice and totally welcoming.

So in the end, our expectations for an asian-inspired menu went unanswered. The only asian entree available was largely unsatisfactory. We will likely not be returning to Rockford in the foreseeable future. It was great while it was great, and now it’s simply just another bar. They should consider removing “wok” from their description. Would give it a 3.5 if I could, but since not, a 4...

Blandest mac and cheese I've ever had. Same with the burgers. The food in looks very pretty in the photo but very lacking in taste. Not worth the high prices at all.

We went on a weekday and it was still fairly busy. The restaurant was about 3/4 full. The hostess looked miserable. She did not look happy to see us.

I ordered the lobster mac and cheese. I got four dried out, shrivelled up, tasteless bites of lobster meat on top of my mac and cheese. The dish had no flavor and it was very dry. It was not cheesy at all and felt like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. I was very disappointed because it looked amazing and tasted just awful. I've had better kraft dinner.

My husband was very disappointed with his burger. The patty was very thin, overcooked and incredibly dry. It too was lacking in flavor. They overcompensated for the extremely thin 1/8th of an inch patty by stacking on 2 inches of greens.

We were seated by the door and attacked by dozens of flies. We were re-seated and attacked again. The waitress moved us yet again to a third table and I still had flies swarming all over my food. It was disgusting and severely disrupted my meal as I was trying to eat while waving my hands in the air trying to stop insects from landing on me. I wasn't offered any discount for my inconvenience. They could have at least offered me a free drink or dessert for having flies crawling all over my food and having to change tables three times.

The mac and cheese said it comes with focaccia crisp. Not sure what that is but I didn't get it. Just a plate of mac and cheese and nothing else. For 22 bucks they could have thrown in some garlic bread or a side salad. I was very displeased as was my husband. We will...

One thing that I am liking about COVID is all the food delivery services available. My husband and I used to go the Revelstoke Mountain Resort where the Rockford is located during the summer and take in the Gondola and hiking trails and then hit up the Rockford for their brunch smorg. It has also been a favorite place to go when company has been visiting from out of town, or for a lunch date with girlfriends. Thankfully we now have Revelstoke Delivery and this is one of the Restaurants that they deliver for.

First off, I must say 10/10 for delivery and presentation. The takeout containers are reusable and quite sturdy so our food just looks amazing once it arrived to us. It was still quite warm considering we live on the opposite end of town from the Resort. All of our food was cooked to our liking and tasted so good!🤤 poutine was a decent size for our swap out side for our meal as well. We are thoroughly impressed with what we received tonight and we will definitely be reordering again soon. Great...
