Hold on to your Hawaiian shirt. River Rocks will challenge and delight local diners with its creative selections. In fact, thanks to their foodie vocabulary, some of them might sound a bit scary to traditional eaters, but the food will seem a lot more familiar once it's laid out in front of you. The pretty bar has a high-tech wine dispenser, featuring a number of varieties. River Rocks has gorgeous views of the Indian River Lagoon. The lunch menu has simpler options. We recommend the $9 turkey reuben or the tropical cobb salad. Some dinner items on the menu are $16 to $25. River Rocks features its hugely popular sunset jazz from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays -- rain or shine.
