Frommer's Review

Take your standard American burger joint, give it an upscale, urban makeover, and you've got Rockit. The current hot spot for well-heeled 20- and 30-something singles, Rockit is definitely a scene after work and on weekends, with loud music and plenty of flirting at the busy front bar. The dining room is a trendy take on traditional tavern decor, where exposed-brick walls and distressed-wood tables combine with sleek metallic accents and chocolate-brown leather booths. The menu is fairly predictable, but a few notches above your standard bar fare. The Rockit Burger is a mix of Kobe beef and foie gras, served with french fries cooked in truffle oil; the Crispy Pork is a wonderfully tender pork medallion with a satisfyingly crunchy crust (I only wish it was served with something more exciting than kale). The Chopped Salad -- a signature dish -- is a hearty mix of salami, olives, tomatoes, provolone, hot cherry peppers, corn, and egg with balsamic dressing. Rockit is no gourmet destination, but if you're looking to chow down on better-than-decent food in a high-energy setting, Rockit fits the bill. (Bonus: The waitstaff range from good-looking to gorgeous.)
