There are lots of fun shows coming up this month at Rockwell: Table & Stage, that intimate supper and performance venue in Los Feliz. (See full list below.) You might want to head over soon to catch their current menu because the food they serve at this cozy little supper club makes it well worth the visit. The new Fall menu is coming soon, but anytime you visit you’ll experience a thoughtful American menu and killer cocktails that complement their unique and sensational stage shows.
The other day we headed over to listen to Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, a jazz outfit in residence on Wednesday nights – more info and review here.
My guy ordered his favorite cocktail – The Girl at the Mirror – which is Aviator gin, oranges, grapes, cucumber and fresh mint. Mine was the Aviary — Absolut Peach, Vodka, Apple Pucker, prickly pear cactus puree and pineapple juice. It sounds kind of sweet, but it was just right.
We started with a few appetizers and were impressed with the KOREAN-STYLE SPICY CHICKEN LOLLIPOPS – chicken drumettes, with Korean “Gochujang” chili, soy & honey served with ranch dressing celery & jicama ($13) – really sweet and spicy and totally addictive.
We also had to try the SPICY TUNA TACOS – spicy tuna, cumin-avocado purée, jicama slaw, cilantro in taro root shells ($15, pictured). They were fantastic as well.
The GARLIC SHRIMP – olive oil, garlic, red pepper, Spanish paprika, parsley ($14) were rich and oily (in a good way) and perfectly tender.
With these apps they also brought one of our sides, the CAPT’N CRUNCH ONION RINGS (all additional side dishes are $9) which taste as good as they sound — a little on the sweet side, thanks to the pairing of sweet onion with sweet breakfast cereal coating – decadent!
For an entree, I highly recommend the CRISPY BARAMUNDI, which is an open face crispy grilled baramundi sandwich, tomato relish, scallions arugula with mustard sauce & citrus garnish. You get to select one side dish, so mine came with grilled asparagus. It really was crispy and delicious and quite a substantial meal for the price.
My guy got the “AU POIVRE” BURGER which is made with 100% natural beef, baby gem lettuce, heirloom tomato, Worcestershire-pepper sauce, and he said he was surprised (and a bit disappointed) that it wasn’t very peppery. He selected the snap peas as his side dish and grumbled that the cooks hadn’t bothered to remove the strings from the snap peas – annoying!
We rounded out this fabulous meal with a truly scrumptious dessert, the PEACH AND GINGER SKILLET with streusel crumble & vanilla bean ice cream ($9, pictured). It comes cooked and served in a little cast iron skillet, so it stays piping hot. It’s great!
Below the restaurant info is a list of forthcoming shows.

SCREAM!
Rockwell begins its new series, The Unauthorized Musical Parodies, with a spoof of the 1996 cult horror classic, SCREAM. This hyperbolic retelling ups the ante from the camp of the original with live on-stage blood, beyond reverent narration, and the infamous killer mask donned by our very own Screamettes. Written and directed by prolific television writers, Michael Gans & Richard Register and starring Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland as Sidney along with many other L.A. favorites including Missi Pyle, Christine Lakin, Nicole Parker and Jonah Platt! SCREAM arrives at Rockwell just in time to terrify and delight Los Angeles for the Halloween season.
