Rouge

Chef's tasting menu was poor value, many components of multiple dishes were not harmonious. When the cheese course is the best course, you know there's a problem! Too many something-and-bread courses. While execution of the dishes was mostly acceptable (except for the short rib/pasta), the flavours were not appealing and too little texture was present from beginning to end. The foie gras dish was mushy and boring with too much of a similar tart component (jelly and some other unidentifiable thing on the plate) and the main was very skimpy on meat. The dessert was an afterthought and better not served. Service was fine. Would not return based on food alone.

We went for our first wedding anniversary. The service was good, food was amazing, and it was nice eating in a heritage house with plenty of history. The food presentation and quality was very well done.

Rouge has some of the best tasting food in Calgary and the service is amazing.

Anniversary

Great menu, taste and experience Highly recommend it

My third visit to one of Canada's finest restaurants. I can't think of anything to criticize.

Overall experience was very nice. The service was great. Our waitress was very helpful as my wife has a gluten allergy. The food speak for itself. We’ll be back

Rouge never disappoints! Pork belly, beef tartare and charcuteurie with cheese amazing.

Food was excellent and creative. Portions initially seemed small but by the end of the meal were just right.

Great evening with delicious food and great service! Hadn’t been Rouge for a few years and it is brighter and such a beautiful location. They were easily able to cater to a Celiac member of the party including bread and butter at the beginning of the meal.

Always perfection

My wife and I got married at Rouge one year ago today, and we came back to celebrate. We ordered the 6 course dinner and were impressed with each course. Great service, ambience and flavour.

It is a wonderful restaurant. The food was amazing, the service was superb as well. I thought the ambiance was quiet, perhaps too quiet, as this is an old house and the tables are scattered over several of the original rooms. But it is a beautiful house and a most wonderful restaurant. Highly recommended.

Food and ambience were excellent.

Date night with my lady. First time at Rouge and I would recommend it to all. Fresh food, vegetables grown in their own garden. Chef trying no combinations. Amazing and the staff know their menu and wine listing.

The Hor's D'oevres were very good. The lamb dish was not up to an expected standard for the cost. Limited number of small morsels. The menu could be more extensive...chicken option would be nice.
Your entrance to the restaurant needs some work.

Knowledgeable friendly server who spent just the right amount of time with us. The food here is beautiful - to look at and to eat. The palette teasers from the kitchen were amazing and those caramels at the end!!!!! Wow! Well done, Rouge! Until next time.

Wonderful food flavours. Portions are not large but you get a quality dining experience. Remains a premiere restaurant.

Amazing formal dining experience. This is my favourite restaurant for celebrations and taking out business colleagues when they are in town. The food is incomparable to anything else I have had, Chef's skill with preparation takes even dishes I do not like and turns them into unbeatable experiences.

Lovely location for a special lunch. Service very attentive. Found the food a bit salty- May have been the cheese on the mushroom toast and the gnocchi dish. Shrimp was very good , loved the fennel in it. Free Parking hard to find- paid for street parking.

Had a lovely meal for eight on a Sunday night. All enjoyed their meals and the experience. very good service.

It was a nice enough evening to be seated on the outdoor patio, which was great. We had the 6 course chefs tasting menu, an excellent meal. Highly recommend Rouge

Amazing service, food, and wine! Great job to Paul and his team!

Nice ambience for fine dining. Very good service. Chef was able to accommodate speciality dietary needs. Excellent food & drinks.

Bravo Olivier. Toujours un plaisir de manger dans ton resto.

Loved getting to experience all that their garden has to offer in the summer.

Everything was amazing! Tasting menu is such a great adventure, one amazing surprise after another :) Took our 16 year old for an unforgettable birthday dinner - still talking about it. Will be back again as soon as possible!

Rouge rarely disappoints. I often host both social and business lunches there because the food is almost always excellent, the service is great, and it is possible to have a conversation. Located in an lovely old house with small rooms, it feels elegant with linen tablecloths and napkins, monogrammed silverware, and polished serving staff, and the garden patio is gorgeous in the summer months. Rouge is situated in a pretty, quiet spot which affords quick access to a major road and free parking is usually available at a lot across the street. Rouge at lunch provides a little luxury at a reasonable price.

Excellent service, perfect ambiance for a great dinner chat, food very tasty and well presented

Our server was awesome, I would have liked a table not in view of the people coming in the front door, it wasn't that full. The food, as always, is fantastic. Full of explosions of flavor and little surprises and it always is friendly and welcoming.

Really amazing food, we tried a variety of things and they were all fantastic. It's beautiful and quiet with a bit of that old-world charm. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Awesome wait staff and food

The lamb tenderloin was the best I have EVER had--and I've eaten a lot of lamb over the years.

A wonderful, high-class dining experience. Service and food were superb, really can't recommend it more highly.

Beautiful setting and the food was Fabulous! We would certainly go again.

The food was delicious. However, the waiter we had was not very impressive - took much talking with his "Italian" accent AND the service was slow, and sloppy.

The food, service and atmosphere were outstanding. We come here every year for our anniversary and are never disappointed

Overall, an average experience. After hearing about how great it as, it disappointed a bit. Food was good, menu full of safe choices, great in list. Ambiance disappointing as we sat in the tent out back (had a spider crawl up the tablecloth on to the table). I think there are more interesting places for this price point.

If someone invited me back, I would go but would not make a point of returning.

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere

Food taste was not outstanding. Open air seating in patio was good. Amount of vegetable amount was less thane expected.
