What a gem! The margaritas were incredible! The service was perfect. And oh my goodness the octopus! If you go, the octopus and yucca fries are a must have!

I love Ten Rocks! I've tried their brunch, dinner, and happy hour menus. I've never had anything that wasn't tasty. Most recently, I came for Friday happy hour - 5-7 PM at the bar - $5 apps and $5 margaritas! I think they have other drinks options but I needed a strong margarita after my work week. I had the steak kebabs, yuca fries, coconut shrimp, and goat cheese. The drinks were prepared quickly and the food was prepared in an average time - they seemed to be getting busier around 5:30/6 PM. The bartender was kind & made great drinks! ALL THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! I really loved the steak kebabs and the coconut shrimp with the mango sauce. They always have a good playlist as background music. I highly recommend 10 Rocks - especially happy hour!

This is a great Island fusion restaurant that has good food, drinks and music. They offer live entertainment usually on Friday and Saturday nights. I love the decor and African prints with an upscale touch. They have good parking but also street parking on busy nights. The service was very accommodating with substitutions for side items. On slower days there is only one server, but the pace wasn't slow at all. You can come alone or on a date and have a nice dining experience. Enjoy!

I've been to 10 Rocks Tapas bar and restaurant before and honestly the food is always amazing. This time we decided to go for date night and try some new dishes. It was Providence Restaurant Week and I wanted to specifically patronize a BIPOC business. We first started coming here during the height of the pandemic and we dined outside in the parking lot, which was actually a lovely experience. Since then the restaurant has expanded their outdoor patio area with a covered roof, giving us another reason to want to come back. It was really hot the day we went so we decided to eat inside, but we were not disappointed. There were noticeable changes since the last time we've been here. I love the upgrades, like the chic rechargeable lamps on the table (instead of votive candles) and the teensy spray of babies breath in a purple tiny vase. These small touches give the restaurant a modern flare while still maintaining that comfy feeling, and you just can feel it in your bones that you're going to get an amazing home-cooked meal. The Prix Fixe #PRW menu was really well curated there was so many choices. It was actually hard to decide, but my husband ended up with the marinated sirloin tips over mashed potatoes with spinach and a Demi glaze and I had the African lemon sauce, chicken with rice and salad entrees. All of the appetizers and the dessert options were also really incredible. The dulce de leite cake might just be the best dessert I've eaten all year! The staff was really incredible and attentive. Even when the manager had to come over and talk to me about my Yelp check in coupon, he was very kind and helpful. Long story short, I'm very particular and I had a five star experience at 10 Rocks I highly recommend!!!

This spot never misses on drinks, food or music. Can't wait to stop by when I'm in town. From the sangria pitchers to their versions of an espresso martini- hit EVERY time. Food is 10/10. Some of my faves include the pastels, wings (lemon pepper AND piripiri), and the shrimp Mozambique(a MUST try).

Stopped in on a Friday night before a concert at The Met. Was able to snag a seat at the bar. Took a few minutes to order/receive my beer but not too bad. Food came pretty quickly and the fish tacos were excellent. In/out in half hour as I'd hoped.

Looking for something different and really wanted some octopus. So we found ourselves at 10 Rocks. I have to say that Nilza made our night. She had great drink and food recommendations and was overall charming!
