"Welcome to Le Rock, where chefs Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson, the duo behind Frenchette in Tribeca, have constructed an ambitious menu of comte-stuffed sausages, sardine escabeche, consomme with foie gras dumplings, and assorted offal. On a related note: Welcome to Rockefeller Center, where this grand brasserie attracts a crowd that — at least from my vantage point at the bar — likes to order steak au poivre, steak hache, and steak for two. ... Le Rock isn’t trying to tear up the European envelope with modern cooking along the lines of Wildair, Estela, or sometimes, the group’s own Frenchette. Rather it’s just a degree or two edgier than a Balthazar or a Lafayette. ... Sure, it would be nice if the bar seating area didn’t face a wall, and if the Art Deco-ish dining room offered less obstructed views of the splendor that is Rockefeller Center, but for now, Le Rock ranks as a solid addition to the Midtown scene." - Ryan Sutton
