Rouge has set the tone for dining on Rittenhouse Square since opening in 1998. Husband and wife owners Maggie and Rob Wasserman’s commitment to quality ingredients and great preparation has reinforced the restaurant’s status time and time again as a destination for a truly standout meal. Rouge is the Square’s original dining destination and the bistro remains a favorite among locals and visitors alike for its ambiance, food and park-side dining.
“The food was incredible!! My fiancé and I had the Mac and cheese and split the Rouge burger! We didn’t even tell them to do separate plates, yet they did so free of charge! Our server was so kind and very attentive. Will definitely be going back!”
“Went to have brunch with a girl friend visiting Philly; our seats, right at the window, were great! The whole restaurant was packed! Food was great! I had sparkling water, jasmine tea (they bring you a whole kettle), grilled chicken sandwich, and chocolate chip cookies! Only drawback was that the music was too loud. I couldn’t hear my friend or even the waiter properly!”
“First time here but have heard about it a number of times before. Was suggested by a good friend who typically has good restaurant/food recommendations and who I was meeting up with for dinner that day, so I we went here. Had a reservation, which was good since it was packed and busier than I thought it would be on a Tuesday night. Host and server were both very friendly, welcoming and helpful during our dining experience. We got a couple of apps to share + Shrimp Cocktail and Calamari. Seafood for both were very fresh, everything was presented well and had good taste. Didn't originally plan on getting a drink but decided to get one and, at the recommendation of our server, I got the Passion Icon*Frozen* drink. It was perfect and refreshing for that extremely hot summer day, and had a great balance of sweet and liquor. For my entree, I went with the Herb Chicken Sandwich which was much bigger than I expected when she brought out the plate. Had a good cook, chicken was still juicy with some light flavor to it. All in all, good dining experience. Would see myself going back for drinks, maybe try some more apps and a couple entrees I saw that were of interest.”
“We made reservations for a later lunch and since it was a little warm outside we decided to eat indoors. It was a little loud inside but we were comfortable. We both decided on a salad as we had been doing much walking and didn't want anything heavy on our stomachs. I ordered the kale salad with asparagus and snap peas and hard boil egg. I thought it was mostly spinach and couldn't see much kale and no asparagus. I asked the waiter and he saw some asparagus..it took me awhile to see it and that the kale was mixed with spinach which I had not wanted. It was really hard to differentiate between the kale and spinach. I in felt more asparagus would have been better too. Service was a little slow but our meals came out quickly once we ordered. Probably be nicer and quieter outside. Lovely view of the park.”
“We went for Sunday brunch. I had the corn and shrimp chowder and it was wonderful. The pirogies were different from grandmom's in dough and filling, but were good. The coctails were excellent. The chicken pot pie wasn't very good at all. My first thought was bagged frozen vegetables and chichen that was first boiled and used for stock. The hamburger my wife got was impossible to pick up and hold, probably becase there were too many caramalized onions. It was knife and fork food. The service was very good.”
