Roky's / Rodizio / Miraflores

I might have to give that a try next time in town....I've never gone for the full "Pig Out"... and I do like to eat meat.

As far as chain stores go - it's pretty good, and consistent..(although service can be lacking at times.)
I've been to several different ones around Lima, and other cities -
And I can say that everything i've ever eaten in one of their stores has been fairly good.
From simple pollo a la brasa, to anticuchos and lomo fino.

 

I went to this joint yesterday. Must say that the food is allright (well..the meat), but as far the service goes...it not 0nly lacks the basics...but at least yestarday I caught a crook. THis was the "wine" guy. A little twerp that might have thought I was a tourist (although Im peruvian but not the typical looking peruvian) and after serving the bottle of Malbec and taking advantage that I was chatting away with my GF and friends, served 4 glasses pretty full and proceeded to take the bottle with him. I 0nly noticed that after I finished my glass and asked for the bottle to which this idiot responded that it had been fully served. Just to prove my point and to show this imbecil that Im not such a fool, I ordered exactly another one. I think the guy knew what was going to happen and when he brought the bottle someone had just call me on the cell. While I was talking not concentrating on the "sommelier's serving" the guy just brought the bottle..din't even show it to me...it was opened already and to top it all...it was well chilled. A bottle of MALBEC!! I must say that the first one was excellent a Navarro Correa from Argentina. But the 2d one....well chilled....forget it...not the same. And proved my point too because out of the bottle came out almost 6 glasses of that particular size.

Needless to say I called the "Manager", another poor soul that must have graduated from a lowly Institute and didn't know SH..T about service. I thought...if someone like this runs this joint....well...I didnt waste any more time and left pretty pissed off to the 3rd story to the Karaoke...where I let my steam singing the night off.

Bear in mind this. As far as Im concerned....Rodizio NEVER MORE!! There are much better places in Lima for steaks...Gian y Marco in San Borja, D'Bife y TInto in San Isidro....even Long Horn in the Jockey Plaza or San Isidro. And the classic joints: La Carreta and El Hornero...

Regards...

 

Rocky should offer more value. While it is not a Pollo tropical
it should be noted that it follows somehow the same business model
where service seems not to be so important

I have been to both la carreta and the hornero, and ofcourse in terms of
service there is a world of difference, just for one thing- they use regular
cloth napkings. But I have spent 300+ soles which is way to expensive.
