Saint Rocke – A club winning an award for the food rather than the music? Yes, it can happen at St. Rocke, which has developed a midweek dinner crowd that shows up long before anybody has played a note. There are four varieties of sliders – grilled or Buffalo chicken, Kobe beef, and their take on a kobe big mac. Order one of each and you have a feast for the indecisive, or for those who, when faced with a choice of several new experiences, boldly decide to try all of them. At $5 between 5 and 7:30, it’s a great way to have a modestly priced but highly varied dinner.
