by Keilani B. on Top Flr = Top Notch food and service At least that was my experience last night. A girlfriend and I ate at 7:30 after having made reservations only a few hours before. Turns out they weren't needed. This must be a late night hotspot because it was relatively quiet when we arrived and barely filled out when we left. We were seated immediately upon arrival at a corner table upstairs. No waiting for us. Our server, Nick, was very attentive and patient with us. We were too busy jabbering and drinking wine to make timely food selections. He kindly opened a bottle of wine that we had brought with us and didn't charge corkage. We eventually ended up sharing the tuna tartar which had a nice kick. The tuna was very fresh and the portion was plentiful, even for two. I had the crispy duck breast and it was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and cooked, presented plainly on a small white plate. No frills needed, the food spoke for itself. My friend had a salad, which she said was good, but in my opinion a boring selection. We shared the spaetzle which was large enough for four people. It was nothing to write home about, but complimented the duck well. I can't comment on dessert because we didn't have any. Come to think of it, I'm not sure if they have any or if we were even offered. Could be the wine, but if they don't have any dessert my husband is not going to like the place. I don't know why others have complained about portions. Our portions were so large, neither of us could finish them. No wonder why America is so fat. Get a big mac and fries down the street at McDonalds if you want to stuff yourself silly. Like the name, the décor was predictably minimal if not somewhat battered but clean... mostly black and white with small splashes of color and graphic wallpaper. It's very bright there during the day, but I'm sure when the sun sets all that wear and tear gets camouflaged. Bottom line is, unlike some restaurants, they don't need to distract you from mediocre food with a whole bunch of glitz and glam. The bill was very reasonable, most likely because we brought our own wine. For those of you penny pinchers out there, they have their own parking lot right next door. No valet, or at least there wasn't one on duty last night. I maybe walked 10 steps to the front door. I would definitely give this little neighborhood gem a try. I can't wait to go again myself and try out some of the delicious cocktails they offer.
by Jannie Grimmius on It's seems like it's been pretty well covered so I'll keep it short - very nice interior, good service, and upscale, innovative cuisine that is well executed. Maybe slightly pricey and valet (meh). 4
by Elise D. on I would have given this place 2 stars but for the jerk running the door and his bad attitude. That one star is actually for the bar.. it's a big, beautiful bar well lit from behind and tastefully decorated ... much too nice for a crap hole like the Rouge. But you can slap as much lipstick on a pig and you are still stuck with a porker .. speaking of porkers ... what is up with the people there??? It was like the ugly truck dumped its load inside ..
