Rockwell & Rose sits inside The Curtis at 601 Walnut Street, brought to Philadelphia by the people behind P.J. Clarke's as an American steakhouse with a more sophisticated, cocktail-driven bent. The room aims for upscale but comfortable, a nod to its Washington Square surroundings rather than old-school steakhouse formality.
The menu runs through prime cuts alongside dishes like ahi tuna tataki, honey soy mushroom noodles, coq au vin, broiled sea bass with jumbo lump crab, and roasted duck with cherry compote, with a Sunday-only prime rib rounding things out. An oyster bar stocks selections from Northeast waters, backed by a cocktail program spanning classic and new-school drinks and a wine list with a global range of varietals.
Regulars point to standout sides like the lobster mac and cheese, well-cooked steaks, and a beautiful bar program, all inside a room that trades on the historic character of The Curtis.
