Le Rock delivers in every way possible. It has the best location by far of the restaurants at Rockefeller Center: a glam, Art Deco space with two-story high ceilings. The staff are pros, friendly in just the right degree, and able to accommodate time limits. And the French food here is ooh la la! Operated by the same team behind Frenchette, there’s not a miss on the menu, even, surprisingly, the vegan offerings (like an amazing cabbage Farsi and the roasted leeks, pictured above) in what is often described as a surf and turf restaurant. One of the city's top special occassion restaurants.
