Upscale steakhouse in Newtown serving porcini-crusted filet, fresh oysters, and raw bar specialties in a space with outdoor patio seating and State Street views. Lunch and dinner seven days a week.
The standout dish at Rocco's at The Brick is the porcini-crusted filet with Gorgonzola and sweet potato, specifically recommended by a bartender to a lunch guest who praised the combination. The raw bar program features fresh oysters and clams served on ice with multiple sauce accompaniments and lemon wedges, presented on round metal platters. One reviewer described the lunch menu as "fabulous" with "lots of great small dishes" starting with raw oysters and clams that were "fresh and delicious." Shrimp cocktail arrives in glass bowls nested in ice with cocktail sauce, garnished with lemon and parsley. Salmon entrees show glazed fish plated with asparagus and lemon wedges. Caesar salad appears with creamy dressing on white tablecloths. The bar serves classic martinis with olive garnish, and one guest noted a bartender-made hot and dirty martini paired well with the porcini filet for an "outstanding" lunch experience with port and dessert.

The restaurant features indoor dining with State Street views through windows and an outdoor patio with black metal tables. One couple specifically requested and received a window table for their anniversary, indicating the indoor space offers coveted street-facing seating. The outdoor patio provides a "bright and inviting atmosphere" according to photo observations, where salmon dishes are plated and served in natural light. Inside, the bar area displays full glassware and bottle service, with seating at black napkin-set bar tops. White tablecloth service appears in the main dining room. However, multiple reviewers reported cramped table arrangements, with one guest stating tables were placed as close as 18 inches apart, causing servers to bump their table "on all sides trying to get to the customers." Another couple seated for a late lunch overlooking State Street experienced vacuuming service around their table during their meal. The restaurant's noise level was noted as "quite loud inside" by one reviewer. Valet service operates on certain days, which one lunch guest found unnecessary "on a weekday for lunch."
Seven of 20 reviews are rated one star, with service timing emerging as the most consistent complaint across multiple visits. One couple waited from 6:45 PM until 8:30 PM for their entrees after ordering immediately upon sitting, with their waiter checking four times but never delivering a promised $28 salad. Another anniversary dinner resulted in one spouse eating alone while their partner's meal took 25 minutes to arrive after the error was discovered, with the waiter never returning to check or update. A family of four with 7:00 PM Sunday reservations experienced 45-minute waits between salad and entree service despite the restaurant being only one-third full. One long-time customer stated that service "has really deteriorated recently," noting they had to flag bus staff for bread and experienced repeated interruptions. Positive service experiences came from individual servers described as "exceptionally and very attentive" and "a great sport," suggesting quality varies significantly by staff member and timing. At least two reviews from late 2023 or early 2024 indicate the restaurant closed or changed ownership, with one reviewer reporting the hotel owner took the liquor license before Thanksgiving.
Rocco's at The Brick operates Monday through Wednesday 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Thursday 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Friday and Saturday 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and Sunday 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The lunch service receives more consistent praise than dinner, with one reviewer specifically calling the lunch menu "fabulous" and another having a "great lunch" with attentive bartender service. The restaurant accepts reservations, with multiple reviewers mentioning advance bookings for anniversaries and special occasions. The upscale price point of $30-50 per person positions it for celebrations and group dining. However, one rehearsal dinner booked more than two months in advance was reportedly canceled one week prior with demands for a full open bar and $3,500 minimum in add-ons. Couples seeking anniversary or special occasion dining have reported mixed results, with some receiving requested window tables while others experienced significant service failures. The outdoor patio functions best during daylight hours based on photo evidence showing bright, natural-light settings. Weekend dinner service carries the highest risk for delays and cramped seating based on review patterns.
