In Short
Oddly enough, this spot is mostly beige. The bistro's wide and shallow interior surrounds a low marble bar that divides small, round tables. Apropos of the layout, the French-Asian menu is equal parts drink and food. The popular entrees are the daily specials such as the generous omelets, garlicky mussels and soft-shell crab sandwiches with a side of watercress. The signature burger topped with Gruyere and caramelized onions comes with an indulgent side of frites.

To be honest I was completely let down by the food. It is ok at best and for a place that charges $16 for a hamburger which they are supposedly famous for. You can get a better burger at a local pub. The presentation was ok and amount was small. On the upside the service was great and the atmosphere is awesome. If you want good service and great ambiance for your sub par but over priced meal then this place is for you. As for me, I know there are a lot better restaurants that charge a more reasonable price with ample amount of food with great service. My overall review of this place?..not worth it?can get a better burger at Jonny Rockets.

I love Rouge. Of course, my opinion could be biased because this was my first date with my boyfriend (one which he recreated for Valentine's Day). I have had exceptional food and wonderful service here. Yes it's loud (but really it makes it more intimate to get closer to your date or friends) but I think they have improved that over time. The food has always been good (ok the creme brulee was a little watery but the top was perfection and it was a busy Valentine's day weekend. Rouge always evokes this old Hollywood glamor type feel for me. I expect Humphrey Boghart to sit down next to me. Always a great time! This places will always hold some of my favorite memories.

This restaurant is in a great spot on Rittenhouse Square. Sit on the sidewalk, or inside at a table adjacent the open windows. The food is delicious. It is known for its desserts to save room. The bibb lettuce salad and fried squash blossoms in seasons are my favorite.
