Rouge

The restaurant was beautiful. The service was good. The food was okay. We did the chef's taster menu and I can't say it was amazing. In comparison to other restaurants with the same ranking and price, I would choose a different restaurant. The food was unique but did not stand out.

I will start off by saying this is a very nice restaurant with delicious food. We were brought delicious fresh baked sour dough and a few other treats from the kitchen. The price is pretty steep, but we did have a great dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The main course is modestly sized and the appetizers comically small (Lobster Tortellini had 5 dime sized pastas!).

Unique dining experience in a rustic Calgary setting. Service was good and food tasty. Was a bit hard to find staff near the end of our Christmas dinner, but was admittedly during busy evening. Would go again anytime. Parking can be a challenge during Zoo bridge construction.

Nice atmosphere and good food but not outstanding. As most people have mentioned the price is too high for the amount and quality of food you get. Not looking to gorge myself but I definitely left hungry after ordering the Ribeye entree. $17 for 5 piece tortellini appetizer and $44 for 6 carrots and 2 small medallions of ribeye. I understand local and farm fresh can be pricey but this was a tad extreme Rouge.

Too many Negatives versus very few Positives: the building is cute and the service is OK, the wine and food taste is also good but nothing special, the staff is friendly and kinda well trained and attentive, there are so many of them around that you'll get attention as you call for it! On the negative side, the appetizer portion/sizes are ridiculous and offensive compared to their price tags, the place has so much potential but they have not worked it out and looks really bold and empty, the table set-up is also funny and completely out of place. Perfect for those that have always had greasy fast food and treat themselves to so called 'fine dining' in this restaurant but for those who have travelled around, it would be rather considered scam. I suggest the owner(s) go to Italy and learn how to set up a chic place as the potential is there. BTW, please renovate the floor and the curtains, they look awful. I think you earn enough from the guests, considering the fat bills, to refurbish the place that much! And please also remove that coin plate for tips for taking the jackets, it's completely out of place if you consider your restaurant an up-scale one.
