THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Rouge Restaurant Review:
Rouge is a charming version of a Parisian bistro café. It lends itself perfectly to mid-afternoon luncheons or casual family dinners. Everything from sparkling water to top-shelf martinis is available at the bar, but nothing can beat the sparkle of Rouge's signature Champagne cocktails. The menu is chock-full of robust bistro fare: braised short ribs with whipped potatoes; mussels marinière in a white wine and cream sauce; and three different versions of steak frites, including a classic flatiron steak. Chilled fruits de mer are available à la carte or in a bountiful seafood platter that's fit for sharing between two or more people. If you feel like nibbling, either before a meal or in place of one, order the decadent cheese and spinach fondue, the cheese platter or the richly-sauced shrimp cassoulet. In the French manner, pommes frites come generously portioned with a variety of dipping sauces.
