This is a simple review for me because everything that hit the table for our party of 10 was very good. This restaurant is probably a top 5 restaurant in York for similar cuisine. The First Post, Eagle's Nest, Rockfish are easily making the list. With an edge to Rockfish over Eagle's Nest, for sure. The other two spots I'm reserving until I try a few other area restaurants, but I have also had a great experience at Tutoni's as well.The food at Rockfish was 'inspired' and well executed. I don't really even know what "inspired" means. But it's the first thing that came to mind. Classic, but inspired. From the menu classics, like calamari, oysters, fish and Chips, to the new England clam chowder, that were executed very well. And then the more interesting menu items, like the Calabrian shrimp and linguine, poke nachos, and oyster stew -- I have zero complaints.Service was good. The person paying for our meal screwed the server on tip, but I did not find this out until after we left. So I apologize for that. I contributed $60 toward the bill for tip, only to find out the person paying gave 10% and pocketed the rest of what I contributed. That's very disappointing and it embarrasses me.Atmosphere is great. I love the vibe, and the upscale intimacy, that is yet... still family friendly and accessible to many.Thanks for a great meal. We will be back, and next time, I'll manage the check.

Savannah was amazing- vibrant, energetic, bubbly, knowledgeable, and wore a huge smile all night!We did not have a reservation but were sat immediately at 6:30 on a Friday night, impressive!I was torn between three choices of drink and Savannah's knowledge of the menu made it easy to choose one. I decided on the Winter Crush, yum!My entree was the lobster roll handheld and coleslaw, incredible! Im a lover of seafood and can honestly say this was the BEST lobster I've ever had.We will definitely be returning customers. Just a fantastic experience!

Great menu, especially for seafood lovers. Recommend the visit.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Rockfish following seeing David at Sight and Sound in Lancaster. My wife and i took her parents. Sat at a high-top and had good service. We had the Shrimp Linguini, fish and chips, scallops, and fresh Wahoo special. Drinks were good, although they could use some more cocktail options. Good wine and Cider.

Fantastic food. Great atmosphere.

Everything was absolutely delicious! Our waitress, Amanda was fantastic and attentive. We live 4 hours away, but would make that drive to return for the grilled bread alone. The seafood pasta was out of this world amazing! We also had the Nashville chicken appetizer and spiced fish tacos. Fantastic meal, great cocktails (that mango mojito!!), cozy atmosphere, great prices, highly recommend.

Restaurant week specials are on point! Another 5 star dinner here. I could eat the oyster whoopee pies every day!

Food was delicious and Brittney, our server, was very attentive and didn't rush us. The flash fried Harris Chesapeake Oysters are the best and number 1 reason we go there. Tried the shrimp and crab egg rolls. WOW! They have become another go to for me. Hubby loves the New England clam chowder with bacon and the fried clam strips. The drinks were exceptional as well. The Spiced Pear Old Fashioned and the Cranberry variation were both YUM. Will definitely return soon.

The food and service were amazing. Our waitress, Amanda, was super--she had great recommendations and input and was very attentive. She was awesome. We got the seafood nachos, seafood linguine, and crab-stuffed lobster tail-- all of which were delicious and very well worth it. We'll definitely make more trips out that way!
