The Rockwood Room, a “Rat-Packy” concept opening this fall, just west of Uptown Park.  From the restaurant’s dual-sided culinary kitchen theatre, Dei Maggi will be putting out iconic American dishes from the post World War II era like rich roasted prime rib, broiled lobster tail and charbroiled steak.  The Rockwood Room’s menu, largely dependent on locally-sourced seasonal and organic products, will be updated twice monthly.  Breads and pastas will be handmade in house. According to Dei Maggi the menu will be “retro, yet relevant in today’s culinary world.”

Surrounded by floor to ceiling windows, the restaurant’s stylish period-specific décor will feature leather banquettes, wood veneers and opulent wine glass chandeliers.  A chocolate and peanut brittle color scheme reminiscent of a Louis Vuitton handbag will create a relaxed and elegant environment for diners.

The restaurant’s wines will be kept at an optimum temperature through a gas protected wine system unique to Houston. Private dining space housed within the restaurant’s wine cellar will provide the perfect backdrop for wine dinners and tastings, as well as private events.
