Rouge was cool! We chose to sit at the bar. The bartender was very busy and really did an excellent job. His cocktails are really creative too. They have a nice top shelf selection and the cocktail menu was such that I actually ordered on menu. The food menu is pretty limited but very good. Apparently we decided to try this out on a Persian holiday so the place was rockin'. Both the manager and the bartender were apologetic but we were fine with it. I'll definitely go back for a cocktail occasionally and probably try some food too.

The experience was nice - we were seated first at the broken table, which hostess was aware of so she moved us. I think the table should be fixed before you seat your guests there - not appropriate. Very long wait for food - when it arrived was cold pizza and pasta, probably was out for a while. The birthday desert was on the house which is very nice

Lovely space with incredible views and a cool vibe, but the food and drinks were only so-so. Our server was very sweet, helpful, and friendly, but we had to wait a really long time for the check
