We opted to have lunch at The Oar House with a business lunch in mind on a Friday and wanted a place that would not be loud and intrusive. It had been years since I had visited, but I was still hopeful for a good lunch, excellent service, and an atmosphere to be relaxed. We were not disappointed. Before we selected a place to eat, we all looked at online menus to get an idea of what sounded good to everyone. The pricing is not what made our decisions, but it should be noted that the menu you are handed in the restaurant has a few items with higher pricing than the online menu. I would recommend they correct that for transparency's sake. This meal alone was $19, more expensive than the online menu. I am not complaining, but that's an extra lunch entrée at additional costs. Now, I got lost in conversation and did not get nearly enough photos, but did grab a few here and there. When we arrived at 11:45 am, the parking lot had only a few cars. Lunch service runs from 11 am to 2 pm, and they close again until dinner. When we walked in, two of my business partners and one of their wives and I were greeted warmly and guided to our table. The place was clean and well-lit but not bright, which is always a plus. The decorations seemed well maintained, the ones we noticed. I was reminded of all the many trips here in the past as the rustic interior welcomed us in. The little touches like stained glass windows and old world style feel made the place feel like we were no longer in little ol Rockwall. Our server took our orders for drinks promptly, and we opted for a few appetizers to share. We ordered the Funghetti Ripieni, bruschetta, and Cozze al Vino Bianco. Bread and butter were served at the table as well. We ordered Spezzatino di Manzo, Suprema Al Ferro, Caeser con Pollo, Ravioli Di Formaggio, and lobster bisque for lunch. Overall the meal and the experience was amazing. The food was great, and the atmosphere was very inviting. I love the old, cozy feel of the place. It feels like you are in a comfortable, warm place with an appealing atmosphere. The server, Ryan, was terrific. We felt like the only people in the place the entire meal. Even though there were a few other people there, the service was top-notch. The Oar House will stay in my rotation of places for a while. They continue to impress and provide great food and service; with a few tweaks, they will be just that much better. We over stayed our welcome and got lost in conversation. We looked up and it was well past 2pm, and they had already shut down. They were patiently waiting on us and never interrupted our conversation one time. We apologized for keeping them past 2pm, and they were very kind. They kindly said, not a problem at all. Happy you enjoyed your time. Come see us again. I can say that I will continue to go and will keep them in the rotation for sure.

Every now and again you eat at a place that feels like you have been going there forever. You know what I mean, where they know your name, always happy you came, atmosphere is outstanding, and the food and service feels like home. I found that here at The Oar House. Whether you eat at the bar with Chris (she is amazing), or at a table, this place serves you like family. The food is consistent, and I waited till my 4th visit to review because anyone can get lucky once. All 4 times I kept my order the same and every time it was dead on. I would like more land options for appetizers, but other than that it is amazing. The patio is a romantic seating option or sit inside where the ambiance is quaint and quiet. I cannot say enough about this place. If you wanna romantic experience or a first date option, this is your place. Enjoy it, I always do!

We came to Oar House Dec 23 for a date night, it was our first time and certainly will not be our last! The staff was accommodating and friendly, the food was excellent, the ambiance was lovely and we left full and happy! Our table was a little on the small side, but it didn’t detract from the meal. We had: Shrimp cocktail: delicious Maialetto arrosto: the star of the show! Incredible dish, it’s rare I like a pork chop better than a steak! Bistecchino Di Manzo: delicious Chocolate cake with coffee: *perfect* end to the meal Definitely get reservations well in advance- they book up fast for a reason!

Food: Soooooo good. Crab claws, salad, lasagna, pork chop. All very tasty! Service: Slow at 1st when busy, better when it slowed. I'm gluten free, made that clear. Server acted like she was educated on that and would care for any sauce that was not gf. When they brought my pork Chop she did put sauce on the side "in case" and said " I think it's okay". I told her I can't eat something you " think" is okay. I need to know what's in it. She got the manager and he confirmed it was not and took it away. I still thoroughly enjoyed my meal with no issues. Atmosphere: really nice, laid back but still upscale. However it was very hot! Price: 4 drinks, appetizer, salad 2 entrees about $150. Not bad! I will definitely be going back. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Lasagne

This place always cooks things to perfection! Staff are always friendly, warm & knowledgeable. I tend to get the halibut or snapper. My husband tends to get steak or pasta. Sides & desert options are so yummy! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Bruschetta in Rockwall Texas

I was taken to this restaurant on a date thinking it was Italian food. They did not offer their full menu on Valentines day. It was a fixed menu and it was not good. Salmon with pineapple and Chipotle sauce is not Italian. The service was so slow three tables left that came in after us. They received all courses before we could even get our second course. Atmosphere so crowded and loud it was not pleasant. I do not recommend.

This is a great spot! The food was incredible, wine was reasonably priced, and service was fantastic. Our server was Robert and he was friendly and attentive. Despite being extremely busy, their food quality and service were not negatively affected. I highly recommend making a reservation if you go. We will definitely return for our next special occasion! Heads up for fellow vegetarians - there are not many meatless options on their menu, but they were happy to modify my entree for me. Also, avoid looking around the walls too much, because there are many heads of dead animals ☠️ Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50

First impression by hostess was horrible. I had made reservations online for lunch two weeks ago for 3 at 11:30 and got a confirmation message. My friend called to confirm they were actually open for lunch. Asked about my reservation, which they didn't have, so she made a reservation over the phone. We got there for lunch today and they didn't have my reservation nor hers and were rudely told they couldn't seat us because they were totally booked! I showed my confirmation and the hostess walked away and left us standing there and never returned. A waiter finally came and said "follow me". Brandon was excellent, food was good, but our first impression will never be forgotten! You only get one chance to make that first impression!!

The first time we went to The Oar House we were pleased. This time, not so much. Disappointed to say the least. First, the prices are much higher than those posted on their website. I guess prices are rising so fast they cannot keep up. Salads were rusty. Her $40 scallops were cut up into small pieces. Who chops scallops? Really. Who thinks it is a good idea to do that? It made the scallops cook quicker and, as a result, they were tough. I had the chicken parm. Hard to screw that up. $15 a glass for the house Cabernet? $120 for two plates of pasta and a couple of drinks. Our server, Lacey, was great.

I love coming here to finish out my work day or just to read my paper and watch a game! I've only ever set at the bar because the bartender, Kris, is by far the greatest customer service experience I've ever had anywhere! She's very attentive, quick, and always remembers her guest. The food is delish. I usually start with the Escargot. Very consistent. Buttery and very flavorful. I've had the lamb shank with mashed potatoes and veggies, the lasagna and one of the pastas and each one was delishious and full of flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant!
