Great place the food of all of us was very good. I had a Mahi Mahi sandwich that was on a special menu. The place is nicely decorated but today Wednesday at 6 pm it was over loud. The music didn't help as I went were not able to talk among us. Anyway recommended.

Rouge is the first restaurant in center city Philadelphia to have tables outside the restaurant like Europe had. I pretended to be in Paris, France, when I went to Rouge. I think former mayor Ed Rendell had a lot to do with making this happen. Started a wonderful new tradition for Philly restaurants. I still go there with friends. The food is delicious and service great!

We came here after Parc was way overly crowded. We saw the reviews were a bit low but decided to give it a try anyway considering how few other cafe style options there were in the area. We were seated right away inside, which is an open air format restaurant. Very chic and trendy dining area and bar. It wasn't overly crowded and we weren't rushed at all. Very attentive staff that was very honest about the menu items. The menu looked great and almost all of us chose the burger. It was a huge burger that was a bit hard to eat but very good. A little pricey all around on the menu but decent for the cost. Fun spot to dine.

Walked by and loved the atmosphere and music. They had a cute table in the back and seated us right away. Live DJ for lunch with great music. So fun. We only came in for a small bite and it did not disappoint. We had the cheese plate, shrimp cocktail and shared a burger. All were great. The cheese was some unique flavors with an abundance of fruit. The shrimp was classic shrimp cocktail. Nothing special but tasted good. The burger was great! Served with Pomme Frites that were classic delicious French fries. Pros: Good quality food Great music Lovely atmosphere No wait at lunch Service was good Cons: Smaller menu so be sure there is something you like before eating here. Did not refill our drinks (iced tea and lemonade) A little pricey for lunch ($24 shrimp cocktail appetizer) Worth stopping in. Truly lovely place right outside Rittenhouse Square.

A very cute restaurant in Rittenhouse Square. The ambience is sophisticated and very cute and feels like the perfect place for a date. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The price seemed reasonable given the location and ambience ($18 approx for a burger). The food was good and I'd definitely come here again

Cute little place on Rittenhouse Square overlooking the park. Just wanted a quick snack, so I tried the cheese plate. Yum. I really enjoyed this light snack: three cheeses, jams, fruit, and a toasted baguette. The smoked almonds and dates were a nice touch. Of course, city prices at $24. If you want a nice relaxing sit, give them a try.

One of the best things that Rouge has going for it is the lovely outdoor area near the square. In my opinion it really differentiates itself from nearby Parc and Devon with their streetery, which is so beautiful to hang out in. They attach fun decorations to the top of this large tent and deck the whole thing out with picnic chairs and large tables. It's quite well done and very beautiful, while still offering good coverage from the weather. As most of the streeteries were taken down this winter there's even more of an impetus to check out Rouge's. I've only ever sat outside and the service has been quite good even though it can get a bit hectic during peak hours. While inside can be pretty tough to get a table day of, I've always been able to walk in for a seat outside, even on weekends. I find the food too expensive for what it is --pretty standard American fare. I like what I eat every time, but it's definitely nothing to call home about. I'd suggest getting a large appetizer and a drink and hanging out outside on a nice spring day. The cheese plate is particularly fun. If you are peckish and want an entree, I'd go burger--best value for money, although it is still quite pricey! Definitely worth checking out their really lovely outdoor area, probably as more of a pre-dinner cocktails kind of thing.
