    This is a place I’ll go back to plenty of times. I’m South American and I loved the food. Also, the place is truly mega welcoming and the staff smile back at you. Awesome food without the pomp of other venues in town.

    Food was very good quality. Empanadas trio , excellent. Meat great too. The spatchcock though whilst tasty it was cold! Ambience and service were excellent and the food came to the table quite quickly.

    It was our first time back since the renovation and it was such an improvement. More up market but still a great relaxed atmosphere, the new layout has been done really well and the indoor/outdoor seating is ideal for capturing those soft, balmy breezes. The ambience was great, the staff excellent +++ and the food fresh and interesting. Definitely will become a new go to restaurant.

    The oysters were out of this world, the best we have had in a very long time. Service was fantastic and attentive aswell as friendly. Such a great set up, decor was relaxed but photo worthy. We will be back for sure. Great job Roca!

    Fantastic new dining option in Byron, with an epic menu from start to finish. Both ceviche's we had were fresh and delicious, plus the main courses were on the money as well. Was so good we are already booked in again to double down tonight, and would easily be the best dining option in Byron. Tucked just away from the main drag too so quiet a peaceful spot.
    RocaResponded on January 11, 2025
    Hi Marc, Thank you for such an awesome review! We’re so stoked to hear you had such a great time with us and that the ceviches and mains hit the mark. It’s fantastic to know you loved the peaceful, tucked-away vibe too—it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. We’re excited to have you back again soon!

    I went wanting to love it. Gorgeous renovation, nice vibe. The service while having the best of intentions was incredibly slow and clearly they are understaffed. The main issue was the food. Bland, dry, and underwhelming. Nothing was good except the fried rice which seemed out of place on the menu. The people that work there really do seem really very nice but the food is a massive let down and not worth the price.
    RocaResponded on January 11, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I’m really sorry to hear that your experience didn’t live up to expectations. We’re glad you appreciated the renovation and the vibe, but we’re disappointed to hear the food and service didn’t meet the standard we strive for. We’re taking your feedback seriously, especially regarding the food quality and the pace of service, and we’ll be addressing these areas with the team to ensure we improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to deliver a better experience. Best, Nicolas Restaurant Manager
