Rouge

The food here is generally good, but I don't think that the very high prices match the quality. Additionally, all three servers we interacted with (all of the servers working in the restaurant that evening) had very bad attitudes, which makes me think that the management is probably bad. (In particular, the older waiter who sat outside the entrance smoking and letting his cigarette smoke come into the small restaurant was remarkably rude and sarcastic.) I would give four stars for the food, but the service is bad enough to warrant at least one less star.

A little slice of Paris in Miami. In full confession I had not been here in years but remember having a great experience and a beautiful courtyard. When you walk in greeted by piano, perfect set bar with a Chello. Wood bar with retro ceiling tiles lots of little fixtures. Tasteful decor and even a classic movie Casablanca projected on the wall. Attention to detail exquisite. Rest rooms are impeccable. And then comes the food. I was talking to the chef and proprietor Nabil, he recommended the lamb shank. I am at a loss of words how good the food was. It lived up to expectations and far exceeded them. The lamb was cooked to perfection, tender and just fell right off the bone. Clearly well marinated, it was on this gravy of potato and olives. To sum it up I can say that not only has he created a slice of Paris in Miami but probably one of the best slices you can find. It's one of those places which will stick in your mind and heart for years to come and probably should be rated as one of the very best hidden gems in Miami.

Very transporting atmosphere. This French Moroccan fusion restaurant is one of North Beach's best kept secret. Located in a gentrified Normandy Isles. It's a must and you won't regret it!

A very cozy and fancy place with great food. The inside has dimmed lights and live music, mostly jazz and rnb. The patio is beautiful. Its one of those places where I love to take out my loved ones. Went there with my mom, my girlfriend and my best friend, all on separate occasions. Highly suggest it!

A wonderful experience in a cute area of Normandy Isle, Miami Beach. However, there is no getting around how expensive it is, priced like South Beach restaurants - this is my only complaint. The food is delicious. We shared the bastilla, so warm with a perfect combination of savory and slightly sweet flavoring. I had the filet mignon with truffle potato puree - perfect cut of meat, tender, full of flavor. My partner had, his exact words - "The best veal lasagna I've ever had". I had a taste and it was to die for - but steep at $28. We've only been the once, we'd return more if it was priced better.

I love Rouge. This French Mediterranean restaurant has great food and great ambiance. Is like being on a French bistro in Paris with soft piano playing on the back and great decor to go with it. The menu here has something for everyone, but some of our favorites are the daily vegetable soup like carrot & ginger.. (so good). Escargot in a basil pesto sauce and fabulous bread to start. Their morrocan tagine version of organic Hen was delicious and so juicy with a side of Couscous... what more can I say. Top it all off with a good representation of the south of France Boulliabese, with large prawns and shell fish this bisque like soup warms your heart. Served in a large bowl the presentation was also perfect. Dessert was both refreshing and delicious. The passion fruit mousse was tangy and not too sweet just enough to make you want to dig in again for more.

Little gem hidden in Normandy isles! Never judge a book by its cover, for at first glance, rouge didn't look like much until I walked in, and I was lost somewhere in France!! Great ppl, good music, awesome service!! Update: my goodness!!! So I found out today right now that they have Paris right in the back! It's so romantic and so secluded. I'm surprised Hollywood Stars haven't stumbled upon this place. The open back is AMAZING 😍. I felt like Paris was packaged just for me and brought here to Miami! I absolutely love this place! Meals are still just as decadent and great portion size. Not like the out of control gluttonous American size, but the size that satisfies you and keeps you coming back for more! Don't sleep on this place, it really is beautiful, provided you remove your Miami way of thinking and open your eyes to beauty in small packages ❤️❤️❤️

Food was very good and it should given the prices tag. I love the decoration, ambiance and specially the music, hard to fine in the new trendy restaurant but there is so much one is willing to pay for entertainment if they are advertising and they don't have. The day before I called and ask if the Thursday Night Jazz was playing, Nabil the owner said yes. Then one hour into dining I ask if the jazz singer was coming answer 'No, tonight'. The service was fine but with two tables w a total of 6 patrons our party expected a bit more attention. Not once did they stop their lively conversation to pour some wine or any other service. Conclusion just as deceiving as the owner and mine last visit to the place.

This one was a difficult one to write because there were some items that were really good and others, well, that needed some extra attention. My friend Cecilia was craving French food and we decided to come here. Its close to the general area we were, I'd driven by more than a few times plus a couple of reviews from Yelpers we knew were encouraging. To their credit, my filet mignon au poivre was really good. If I had stuck to this, this might have been a high 4 or even 5 star review. The meat was really juicy, well seasoned and flavorful and I could certainly taste the kick of the black pepper powder. I also liked the fries; they seemed to be home made and I didn't need to order ketchup :) (5/5) I liked that the bread was home made as well. The espresso I had and vino we shared was pretty good as well. Of the cheese tablet we ordered, my favorites were the brie (5/5) and gouda (3/5). The live piano player and Casablanca on the projection screen was really classy and added a classy cachet. The library was a nice touch as well. This, too rates 5 out 5. I know there are supply chain issues, and seasonal variations, but one of the things that caught my eye was the medjool dates another friend brought up in her review. The dessert menu was reduced, and as it were two other menu items (including the camembert with honey) wasn't available (1/5 for this menu change). The menu seemed more French, with no touches of Moroccan cuisine (2/5). We would have loved to taste some more Moroccan influence and flavors. Speaking of dessert, neither she nor I finished it. In the same manner that the fries and bread tasted homemade the tiramisu did not. It didn't taste or look like the tiramisu we have had before. It barely had any taste of cinnamon dusting and tasted more like a regular cheesecake. (1/5) Although we were one of three couples dining, service felt like it could have been a little more attentive. Here's just hoping that it was an off night, and that they do bring back some of the times that enticed me from friends' reviews.

Excelent food, great ambiance and magnificent staff! The restaurant is decorated beautifully and you feel somewhere else in the world. Drinks will make you feel nice!

This place is a true hidden gem. It's A French restaurant with such a cool vibe. The service is excellent the food is great and I loved the ambiance. But the best part about it is you can just kick back with friends having drinks while listening to the piano player. Or you can have a quiet romantic dinner there. It's so quaint with the decorations and the lighting that makes it so cozy yet elegant. Then as an added bonus there's the outside patio which is just amazing it transports you to a cafe in Europe. Love love love this place and will def be returning soon.

I am so glad you are doing good. Raw oysters, bone marrow and seafood are my favorites too. Thank you, Dr. Jacqueline Sacco MD PhD

Great evening. The place is cozy and lovely. The food tasty, the drinks superb and the music is fabulous. For livers and friends.

You walk into Rouge and it feels like you stepped off Miami Beach and into one of Paris' arrondissements. This small, dark and cozy restaurant has such a beautiful ambiance that the five stars are for that and the decor alone. It is hard not to be charmed by Rouge from the moment you walk in - there was live jazz on a Friday night which set the tone for a relaxing evening. I ordered a French Martini and shared a cheese plate and olives. The rest of the menu looks delicious, and definitely something that I would visit again to work my way through. (looking at you foie gras) Service was friendly, and I thought it was awesome that the bread they bring to the table is clearly baked fresh/to order. If you're looking for a sexy lil' date night or a relaxing night out with a girlfriend - Rouge would definitely be a great place to start. It's great to note that the live music is nightly at Rouge, too! As for parking - there is metered street parking in the area but it's kind of limited so maybe uber on a busier night.

I came here on a Thursday . I used to be a regular here pre Covid and the food / service was amazing. This time NOT SO MUCH. I ordered a filet mignon medium well. It came back bloody so I sent it back . The chef came out with an attitude and brought it back to me . When I tasted my steak it had a bad flavor so I apologized to the waitress and asked her to remove it and to just give me a soup ( that I had for appetizer) the chef came out and said we have bone left. I feel like that was him just doing it because I sent the steak back. Then the lady at the bar was interrogating me as to why I sent it back and she implied I have bad taste. Unfortunately I will not return .

The passion fruit mousse was tangy and not too sweet just enough to make you want to dig in again for more. Whenever I'm in the area this is one of my go to spots. It never disappoints. PS: I forgot to mention that this restaurant has one of the most romantic patio/terraces in Miami. That... you have to see for yourselves.

The ambience is very beautiful inside and the food had good flavor I wish there was more options for sides . The ricotta cheese and pistachio cake was very delicious I recommend. Also the chef was very nice and made great recommendations

I'm honestly very surprised that this place does not have a higher rating. I used to live down the street and I'd visit Rouge rather frequently. I have seriously never been disappointed with any item/dish on the menu. It's true to its French style and the flavors are outstanding. I would go as far as to say that I've had some of my best dinners at this restaurant. It's small and unassuming on the outside but then you walk in and you forget where you are, you're sort of transported to a different place/time. It's easy to lose yourself in the experience and in conversation which makes this a stellar date spot. My only qualm would be that they removed the chocolate cake from their menu...obviously I don't hold that against them lol I used to always end my meal with a shared slice of that and a glass of fernet. That said, this place hits all the marks. I understand it's not cheap and the portions aren't huge but frankly I didn't mind that, at the end of it all I was satisfied with the amount and quality of what I'd consumed and I felt like what I paid was justified in my experience. I don't see it as a price per dish situation, but rather like you're paying for the experience as a whole. I've spent just as much or more at other restaurants and it still didn't afford me the experience that I can count on Rouge to provide every time. Keep it up guys! Can't wait to be back!

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Rouge for dinner. We got married in France so we had high expectations for this place after seeing other reviews! We were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and the knowledge of the chef (who was also our server) about the food and France. I unfortunately did not get her name but she made our dinner so special! We ordered 4 appetizers - the escargot twice and then the endive salad and the burrata salad. The escargot were *amazing*. I then got the trout for my entree and my husband got the 16 oz ribeye which he is still raving about. He said it was in the top 2 steaks he's ever had!! We finished with 2 desserts - an apple + pear tarte with a scoop of ice cream and an incredible chocolate slice. Again, just amazing. The place is so cute too, we sat in the back courtyard and the ambiance is unreal. So insta-worthy and I loved the music. Very classic French! They also had a tray of bug spray, which was a nice touch as well. 10/10 would recommend this place to a friend and will come back when we return to Miami! Merci beaucoup!!

Incredible food, impeccable service, stunning interior! I cannot believe it is not always packed, for now my hidden gem of a place. My repeat hi e away from home place:)

Great food! The ambiance is amazing whether indoor or outdoor in the garden! Teleport yourself to Paris for a romantic evening in Miami!

This place is located in the heart of Miami Beach and has a parking lot in the back that is free after 6 pm. From the second you walk in, reservation or no, you are being attended with the utmost respect and care. There is a beautiful bar and a grand piano at the entrance with which live music is played occasionally. We were fortunate to hear some jazz style arrangements of old-timey songs while we enjoyed our meal. They also have a projector that plays movies on the wall (albeit with no audio). Let's talk about the food; it was spectacular. We tried the duck confit and the lamb shank which probably had some more convoluted French names and they were fantastic. As an appetizer we had a Cheese soufflé. Portions are good, though a little pricey, drinks average around $15 and ambiance is lovely. If you're in the Miami Beach area and looking for a cute date night featuring French cuisine feel free to give this place a try. Desserts, same as their specials, seem to rotate on a daily basis and when we went they had the tiramisu, the chocolate soufflé with Nutella, and the chocolate mousse cake. We went with the soufflé and it was a sweet way to end a savory French meal.

The place is so cute and inviting. Food was delicious! The Escargot was superb! I would recommend this place to everyone who likes French cuisine. Rouge is a must!

Great ambient atmosphere. Food is very well prepared.Small place,feels like family business.Service is on personal level.All 2 thumbs up!!!

Wonderful evening with live music and good traditional dishes. Good selection of wine by the bottle, slim selection by the glass.

TERRIBLE- service was horrible. On a Friday night by 8:00 pm they ran out of several dishes from their menu. How can you go wrong on a Martini? Well, they did. Will never come back here and extremely overpriced. I don't usually write reviews, but had to on this one.

Quaint atmosphere with live band and good food. The service is attentive and the selection from the french menu is mouth watering. We dined on a rainy Saturday night with another couple and enjoyed a long night of tasty meals with delicious wines. The rack of lamb is highly recommended. The tiramisu with blueberry is a must. The Bordeaux imports struggle to compete with local California wines, yet the selection is tasty and not too over priced. Cocktails are not a strength of the Rouge but the good selection of liquors can be served neat.

Rouge was a wonderful dining experience. While we didn't get to sit inside the beautifully decorated restaurant, the outdoor seating provided a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy the delicious and unique dishes. I ordered the truffle cheese pizza and the flavors were so perfectly met. Lamb was also ordered which was so tender it fell iff the bone with the slightest graze of a fork. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some amazing french cuisine on the beach.

Excellent food, ambiance and service! Would 100% recommend this place! We got the burrata salad. Delish, mushroom soup even better, Camembert and honey and last but not least the black truffle risotto. SOoo good! Authentic French

Had a lovely dinner here last weekend. Rouge is a hidden gem in Miami Beach. It is a French-Moroccan restaurant located on 71st. There is street parking up front and behind the restaurant. I almost don't want to post about it to keep it just for me! We arrived very early on a Saturday night and were the second party to arrive. After seeing the photos of their outside area, I had high hopes of sitting there. Ultimately, we chose not to because it was too muggy and we feared rain: typical Miami weather! We were welcomed by the owner and his wife, and sat inside immediately. While the outside is gorgeous (boungainvilleas, banana fronds, bricked walls, urn planters, wrought iron furniture, string patio lights, hand painted furniture, tiles, and Moroccan lanterns set the mood for a sexy secluded night), the inside decor is not too far behind. Both are quite charming! Wood textures, various shades of red and dimmed lighting everywhere you look. We took a look at the menu to decide on our dinner. The first thing I noticed is that it looked very limited: a fact only highlighted by the long, odd size of the menu. There is a large block of white empty space at the bottom of the menu. You feel like there is something missing. The menu flip side lists the wine selection (and it does take up the entire length) and it's perhaps why the page is so long. It might look better to print them separately: just a thought. Ultimately, I don't care about limited menu items if the choices on it are good and THEY WERE GREAT! We started with the CREAMY PUMPKIN BISQUE. It's a good thing they served hot bread with it because we used it to clean out the bowl. Yup, we loved it that much. We also had an order of the BACON WRAPPED MEDJOOL DATES (stuffed with spicy chorizo). These are priced individually (we ordered 4) and were delicious. I am not sure, but it seemed like they cook them on the grill. They had a nice smokey char to it that I absolutely loved! I could have easily had a couple more of those. For our main courses, we shared the BLACK TRUFFLE RISOTTO and the HARIRA. The risotto was perfectly creamy and al dente at the same time. It was topped with a wonderful parmesan crisp. The Harira is a traditional Moroccan lamb stew IN a tomato broth. (It's listed as "AND tomato soup" which is confusing. It sounds like it comes with a side of soup, instead of being served IN a soup). This was hearty and I felt like I was eating in someone's home versus a high volume restaurant. The spices were dead on and I found myself lost in it's complexity. Really. There was not much left when we were done. Desserts were disappointing only because I wanted the authenticity to continue, something more regional and not easily found all over the city perhaps? We had a chocolate mousse (listed as PARFAIT DE MOUSSE AU CHOCOLAT) and a creme brûlée (listed as CREME BRULEE A LA VANILLE). They were both good though and a nice "sweet" ways to end dinner. We also each had an espresso. The corkage fee was $20. We brought our wine so that was perfect for us. Rouge is different than everything in that area, and even just Miami Beach in general. You can tell a lot of love has gone into the restaurant. It's bigger than it looks online, but still quaint. I loved the French playlist they had on all night long and the silent Charlie Chaplin movies playing on the back wall. It got fuller as the night progressed. Although it still wasn't completely full by the time we left, we noticed that everyone that came in was a regular! We spoke to the owner here and there for a little bit and he was very nice. We look forward to returning and trying everything on that menu. We've only just begun! Next time, we are sitting outside for sure!

My experience here was a 2.5. Service could have been better, especially for a pricey meal. The inside of the restaurant is nice and intimate. I had hoped to dine outside on their patio but weather did not permit. This place serves wines, beer and soda only, so if you prefer ice tea or sweet fruity cocktails like me you will be disappointed. They do offer dessert wines. Between the bacon wrapped dates and the bacon wrapped shrimp, I preferred the dates more but my husband like the shrimp more. Here's a quick run down of what we thought about the food we tried tonight on a scale from 1 to 5 (5 being excellent): Bacon Wrapped Dates: 5 Bacon Wrapped Shrimp: 4 (5 according to my husband) Black Truffle Risotto: 3.5 Rabbit: 3 Lamb Shank: 1 (sad to say I did not like the flavor at all & it lacked salt)

I absolutely loved this place. Ended up here because the restaurant we originally wanted to go to was packed. We walked in to the cutest restaurant, but the patio was what awed me. It was so beautiful and romantic with twinkling lights. The food was great, service amazing as well, but the ambiance is what really swept me off my feet. A true hidden gem.

In went to Rouge last night with my girlfriend to celebrate our anniversary. I had a great experience. The parking around the area is a bit difficult, but it's not expensive on a Saturday night. On the outside the place looks like any average shop with a door and a sign above, but once you enter, it a completely different world. The interior is very beautiful and cozy, with dim lights and live jazz. However, we requested to sit in the outside garden. The garden is very exotic and beautiful, with a nice Moroccan and french feel to it. We sat right before sunset and started out meal at dusk, and I can say that the garden looks a lot more beautiful after dusk, I don't know why, but it does. You can still hear the live jazz music from the garden area. We started with the bacon wrapped dates, then we had a black mushroom risotto and a yellowtail snapped, and finished off with an apple tart. All the dishes were very good. I noticed my risotto was al dente, which I enjoyed. Something to keep in mind, this place is not cheap. appetizers and desserts will run you about $13-$15 and entrees will run you about $27-$45. Another thing to keep in mind, the water bottles are not complementary and cost $7 each. Finally, a %20 service fee/gratuity/tip is automatically added to the bill. Incan imagine it must cost a lot to maintain a place like this. Either way, I'm neither complaining nor justifying these charges, just making people aware. The service was very good. Everyone was nice and attentive. The food came out in time too. Overall, I had a great experience, and I would recommend it for special nights.

Giving it two stars as the place itself is cute especially their back yard and they have the potential to improve. However overall extremely disappointing experience after hearing so much about it. The food itself overpriced and not very tasty except for the steak and frites. We had the escargot with butter and truffle and all you tasted was pure garlic, frites were slightly over salted the risotto was a sticky ball concoctions never seen anything like it and the salmon came out cold. Despite it being completely empty (10ppl Max) the service was beyond slow, getting a drink took forever, one of the dishes came out cold and the waitress managed to forgot to put in our appetizers!

This place is really all ambience. Imagine a 1950s or 60s piano bar replete with wood carved accents splayed across the interior. MY ADVICE: Order drinks and starters. Excellent French beer (Kronenburg) on tap along with one of my favorite scotch (Lagavulin 16 year). The black truffle pizza was also good. Don't bother with the entrees. They're overpriced for the culinary skills that prepared them. NOT WORTH IT.

I always have an enjoyable time at Rouge. Howie, plays Casablanca songs, jazz standards and, last night, Little Waltz by Ron Carter. He's so sweet. He lets me sing The Man I Love when I come in. Ask Malik for the Bordeaux, it's, to me, the perfect wine. And definitely say bonjour to Nabil on your way in. PS The lamb soup special was super yum. * * * * * #liveMusic #Casablanca #rougerestaurant #LaCuna #pianobar #greatfood #frenchmoroccan #french #vivalafrance #laFrance #best #local #miami #normandyisles #raybarretto #HowardSchneider

First time here!! Already in love!!! A little piece of Europe in Miami Beach!! The Taste of the food will satisfy the most epicurean person! Staff is so friendly! Thank you to Gerald our waiter for the food recommendations! Risotto is to die for!! Definitely in my calendar for a second visit soon!!

We got to this place as we had seen reviews that were positive! We were actually impressed as the interior decor was quite nice... The terrace is also quite nice, small but cozy! This is probably the only positive side of our visit.... We decided to sit inside as the heat outside was unbearable... Well, inside it was not much better. The air conditioning is almost none or non existent... They also have some fans in the ceiling which don't do much good either... I think they should fix this problem asap.. I would not recommend coming here with this very uncomfortable sensation of eating and sweating... Then off with service, they could improve some but being 3 people and several tables it was ok! Food, this is where I think they should improve more... Food is average and in some cases below average. We had the pizza with truffles and this was not that good... The mozzarella and tomato salad, quite lame.. The gorgonzola soufflé had too much egg flavor... Then the main courses, the langoustines, we had to return, they were old and soggy... Not good... I had the pigeon which was maybe the best dish in the table... Risotto. Ok, the lamb Tagine, they could improve this plate... Missing flavor. Morrocan? I had no sensation of being in a Morrocan restaurant at any time... Wine list is very small and choices are expensive... Well the complete restaurant is too expensive for what we had... Desert was probably over frozen and had no flavor (apple tart). The place is clean, the restrooms were clean and nice and had air!!! So maybe wanted to stay there for a while!!! There is no valet parking and there is paybyphone parking on the rear... All in all, this was not my best experience!! Enjoy

Apart from the service and the atmosphere, this place needs a minus 5 stars. For a place that pretends to be French, the escargot was very mediocre, the drink was worse than the ones I make at home. The steak was tough, with absolutely no flavors and the French fries tasted like they were from last week's. I don't recommend this place for foodies or for anyone! So disappointing!

Simply the best overall experience. I must get back! I miss this place, the food, the ambiance and the music. The owner , ahh I guess I miss him also.

What a cool little spot to fall in love. This place is so romantic. It's old world, piano bar meets secret garden. The food is scrumptious- we ordered the fillet medium rare... it was butter, melted in my mouth. We went on a Wednesday night - shared the place with 4 couples. Service was great. What a sweet guy, charismatic and very attentive. The rear outdoor patio was magical... Nice spot to sip sambuca and get lost in conversation. Special Thanks to the owner for tolerating a bunch of loud Cubans discuss politics in a very boisterous manner. Thanks for not kicking us out. ;) We were obnoxious!! Lolololol I can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. Thank you so much for this blissful culinary experience. Love love love!

I have lived in the area for 5 years but never visited this restaurant until tonight. I have heard good things about it, so I brought a special friend to celebrate his birthday and this ended up being the perfect spot. The patio outside was beautiful and quaint. The service was incredible. I wish I could remember our waitress's name because she was so sweet and also French. She was kind and humble and just so sweet. Perfect service. The food was also amazing. We each had the filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection. Best I have ever had. Everything about this place was exceptional and my friend was very happy as well. I highly recommend this place !

Loved everything about Rouge! Friendly service, delicious food, nice ambience. Going back soon

Amazing and romantic outdoor garden space. I took my first date with a girl and she became my gf because I took her here (probably).

We ordered dinner from Rouge tonight for delivery. Everything was simply amazing. The black truffle risotto was superb and the apple tart was perfection. Highly recommend this amazing local restaurant!

Just came back from a relaxing dinner at this restaurant. Beautiful decor. Today (Friday) they had a VERY nice Brazilian singer accompanied by an extremely good guitarist. Music was excellent. We were a group of five and everyone enjoyed their dinner. I ordered the blue cheese soufflé and trout with asparagus and both were pretty good. This was a slow paced dinner with a nice bottle of rosé wine, very french. Prices are a bit on the high side but worth it for what you get (a relaxed well prepared meal, cozy ambiance and excellent live music). It's definitely worth a try, particularly if you have a date and want to hangout for a while.... Or a nice group of friends that love to talk (like us!).

Overprice and nothing special ! They charged 20% tip,I meant not 18%,but you HAVE to pay 20% even if it's a BAD service! We usually give 18,20,25% tip but being obligated to pay 20% in North Bay Village??C'mon...This is NOT South Beach! Look at your bill, they won't put the total BUT will charge the 20% and give you a subtotal of a different amount ! I have a business and know how it runs,but this is total UNACCEPTABLE!!!! When we made a funny comment about the obligated 20% ,the owner was rude and told us he doesn't need anymore businesses,because he has enough and will charge 20%or as much as he wants to because of the tourists, and also adds that he is okay with the business he has now and doesn't need anymore customers! Hello? Well... He is all over Groupon! Right ;) Believe me ...we are used to nice restaurants and I do appreciate local businesses.However, we had a horrible experience and he was okay if we never come back not showing ANY appreciation for us being there supporting his business. Let's talk about the "live music" they suggest, it's all over their website. Well... Today they had radio music playing! It's FRIDAY night and he tells us the musician had arrangements! Ah? Don't Promise something you can't delivery. Now about the food... He offered a bone marrow as an appetizer,wow! Fat in a bone with 2 toasts. I love France and their cuisine. I've been in France twice and very open about trying different dishes, however this was a joke! Try and you will see... Did I mentioned it's overpriced? I was already done and ready to go to another place,however my husband wanted to try the lamb with mushroom risotto. I will give a 8! It was a great piece of lamb and tasted mushroom risotto. I also ordered the Marrocon olives as we had a bottle of wine...SALTY! I like spices and I guess I am okay with salt BUT wow!! Left half of the olives there... Honestly, it was a great atmosphere but need a lot of attention. We will never come back and wish everyone the best. That place is not something to recommend to...They are dishonest and greedy! **Thank you for the reply! My husband will get the IPad in the morning. :) Like I said, this is my experience and want to tell the customers (like me) that loves to try different local spots,that you don't care about new customers because you have enough business, like you said to us! We are from Bal Barbour ...just 5 minutes away and will never come back bc of the experience! * I just checked some of Rouge reviews, should've looked before come in. Everybody says the same thing, overpriced and dishonest. Check the owners comments about every bad review... Rude! *No Hun, that is a lie!! We had a $40 groupon and you told us you won't accept for us to call groupon customer service for a refund. You suggested us to buy ANOTHER groupon of $30 and that's what we did. We use yelp,trip advisor,groupon and other outlets to try something new every week... Most of them are such great experiences that we become regulars. Your rudeness and cocky attitude won't take you too far! Bye

My wife and I are in Miami to celebrate our first anniversary, we decided to go to Rogue for our anniversary date. The place is magical, it's cozy, warm, and very relaxing, it feels fancy, but still not overwhelming. We sat down in the patio/garden, surrounded by beautiful lights. The food was great, our Salad had fresh mozzarella and roasted tomatoes in black truffles, the bread came fresh from the oven. We ordered a steak and a fish dish and both were flavorful, and flavor built up as we were eating. We recommend this place for those who seek a quiet, cozy, and romantic date away from the hustle and bustle of Miami.

Worse food ever we ordered two appetizer there was so little this was ridiculous and not even fresh this people should not be allowed To have a restaurant. Even in France if you go to a gastronomic restaurants the Portions are tiny but twice his portion and when you order an appetizer is home made not from Low quality cane

It's so beautifully decorated with a very cozy ambience. They provide a nice entertainment of live music at night The food and service are awesome!

1 check-in Okay, here I go bucking trend again. Sometimes ya just gotta.. Wish there was another 3/4th. star I could give it but yelp doesn't deal in fractions. Rouge, a French Moroccan restaurant on 71 st. originally planned for a brunch late in January, sounded to all like a very good idea for Christmas brunch.. A reservation for 10 was made a couple weeks earlier, knowing how busy places can be on holidays, Three days before Christmas, the person in our party who was communicating with the restaurant, called and said there were seven definite but please keep it for 10. The next day, four more indicated the desire to join us , ( bringing it to 11..one extra, should be no problem, right?) Wrong. She was informed by Nabil, who we found out was the owner, chef,order taker, AND server that seven was all he could possibly accommodate, knowing how busy Rouge would be, and adding ANY extra would be impossible. Oh well, It is what it is When we got there at 2pm on Christmas, we were greeted by the owner......and a totally empty place..except for our party...and it remained that way for almost the entire two hours we were there..even as we left, there were still only two other parties with four adults and two kids total. Whatever crowds were coming , we were told were scheduled for 5pm and later. Point is, we could have easily reserved for 20 people..and had no problem seating.. All I can figure is that Nabil, perhaps having only a couple other people helping him serve at that hour may have thought that the three extra people that would have brought our party up to 11 would have been a burden?? I've nooo idea why the restriction to 7 only. What was good and delicious: A free Yelp check-in serving of champagne! My onion soup. TRES delicious. A taste I had of my friend's Branzino en Papillote was tender and delicious, very nicely cooked. An order of Salmon in Citron was pronounced delicious. My Escargot eu de Pastis, an interesting anisette flavored sauce, though not the garlicky buttery version (which I prefer), was something attractively served and nestling in a puff pastry shell. Sometimes I find I enthusiastically jump OUT of the box just to scurry back in :-)... nteresting rolls ((for which they told us no butter was available), but there WAS olive oil and Nabil DID mix up a little cup of the oil mixed with an olive reduction...Very good. The Hudson River Valley Faux Gras appetizers, very tiny, not even as big as a match cover, but very tasty. What was not so hot: The music, although very nice was too loud and we had to ask three times to have it lowered to the point where we could converse. (Remember, we were the only people there?) The skewered shrimp covered with bacon, appetizers was a fine idea but maybe the time it took to broil the bacon was too much for the pinky finger sized shrimp. They were okay but dried out..,..and at $3.95 each, were a disappointment Bouillabaisse.. should be a delightfully delicate, broth with fish chunks, lobster, shrimp, etc. It was a verrry small potion in a verrry big bowl making it look even smaller , but presentation would not have been a problem if it had not been so strongly fishy and salty.. It was returned and Nabil was gracious in asking what else he could prepare. Another friend was not pleased with her Salad Maison entree but ate it . Another friend ordered a steak . The wrong steak, ( one 10 dollars higher) was served with the wrong topping. He said it looked good and ate it but pronounced it meh. I think, that for the prices Rouge charge, Excellence is not too much to ask.. The restaurant is beautifully decorated warm and cozy looking , with a full bar, fireplace and the open air back yard dining area is truly beautiful and I was looking forward to dining there in January but we' unanimously agreed that a future visit was not in the cards.

A party of friends visited Rouge recently, and had a decidedly mixed experience. Once arrived, I was struck by the beautiful, homey decor that resembled more of a 19th century bookshop than restaurant, as well as the pleasant (if a bit loud) music consisting of European flavored standards. However, our order taker -- who as it turns out was also the chef owner -- has a bit rough 'tableside manner'. We were left alone more than long enough to decide both our appetizer and main course. So, when he came to take our order, our party had what we wanted lined-up. However, he was visibly irritated when we each person tried to order their appetizer and main, as he seemingly expected us to only do appetizers. He adjusted, but let's just say you could see he didn't like changing gears. The food itself was fairly good, but had some hiccups. One of our companions had order what, on the menu, was a steak with peppercorn sauce. The filet mignon -- a different cut -- came with a cherry sauce. What he got was a filet mignon with the peppercorn sauce; since it wasn't a matter of taste, he went ahead and took it. However, I have to note it was $10 more than what he ordered. I did order the filet mignon. It was tasty, however I ordered medium rare. As I got further into the meat, it became bloody rare. Fortunately, I actually prefer this (medium rare is a compromise to make it shareable for my wife and less off-putting for companions). However, had I been put off by rare meat, I can see it being an issue. I did very much enjoy the escargot pastis (escargot swimming in sauce and served in a flaky puff pastry), as well as the foie gras (which was the actual, genuine article). The shrimp appetizer wrapped in bacon was okay, but the shrimp itself overcooked and thus powdery. The salad maison was also good -- but a bit salty. Speaking of salty, another of our companions had the bouillabaisse which he didn't care for and was too "fishy and salty". I didn't taste it, so I can't comment on that. However, I can address the reaction of the staff. Our main server -- a very nice woman -- was apologetic. Maybe too apologetic, as she pushed quite hard for him to get an alternative dish (he didn't want one). However, the aforementioned owner did insist on coming out and confronting our companion on why he didn't like it, and defend his food and why it was proper. I do get that when you are a chef, you want to explain your work. But there's a line between defense and defensiveness, and our host definitely crossed it. He did it at the cost of making the guest feel browbeaten and unwelcome. The dessert chocolate soufflé was sold as the genuine, proper version. However, it also took 15 minutes. We were a bit surprised they could make one in that time. Turns out they can't quite, because it was quite a bit denser than a soufflé should be. It's one of those items that few restaurants can make, and thus are wise not to include on the menu. It's not, by far, the worst restaurant I've been to, and has much to recommend it. However, the service experience soured it a bit. And keep in mind, almost none of my reviews cite service as an issue, so this isn't a chronic complaint. So my overall critique is that while the food is ok, it's not good enough to justify the haughty attitude of the owner.

No wonder this place is always empty... Deceptive, birdbrained, and frankly they are just not up to par to what they're convinced they're worth.. I live closeby and am within delivery range so I feel like trying this place out because the online ordering is so convenient. Plus, I like trying new restaurants in my area and I love food (Hence the Badge). I check their menu and see the honey shrimp along with the bacon dates. As soon as I saw the shrimp was $7.00 EACH, I said no way. However, the dates had three dates pictured and most importantly was listed as "dates" not "date" which totaled up to $3.95 per order. I asked for three orders & clicked submit on my eat24 app. An hour later, three measly little bites were delivered and I asked the guy where the rest was. Nope, there was no more! That was all! I literally got so upset and called the restaurant sounding like a second grade teacher when I'm explaining the definition of singular and plural. The incoherent Nabil wouldn't understand and told me "he doesn't deal with threats" when I demanded a refund! Obviously I called eat24 and they agreed with me. They also agreed that is was confusing, deceptive and that menu was sure to go under managerial supervision to ensure they fix the menu. For a busy young professional like me, eating out is in the cards for me. It's sad to see how a restaurant couldn't refund my small order because of pride or whatever overpriced items they sell there. I probably would've gone back. Now? Hell NO FYI, I walked in your place last Saturday 10 minutes before you opened and saw the dungeon that it really was. Old, smelly and looks infested with termites due to the overdone amount of wood you have in there. It's like a bad dream you can't wake up from. All the yelp deals and check-in offers in the world can't help you. Can't wait till you close down and someone else deserving takes your spot... Maybe then, I'll shoot over for some dinner. Until then..

Went today for lunch and was rather disappointed. Ordered the escargot en croute and the pastry tasted old, like it was in the fridge for too long. The bacon wrapped dates were good and the grouper soup was tasty, but that's about it. Ordered chicken with pommes frites and the French fries were very hard and chicken was bland. Also ordered the sweetbreads with polenta and the portion was extremely tiny. My husband ordered the sea bass, which typically is a nice thick cut of fish - but in this place it was maybe 1/2 thick and he had to scrape it off of the parchment paper, it was also covered with peppers. Ordered a grand marnier souffle for dessert and the texture and taste were like ice cream. Definitely not returning, the 20% service charge and $7 charge for regular water also left a bad impression. Overpriced mediocre French food at best. Response to Owner's Response: one would think that French fries and chicken drumsticks can be done correctly regardless of whether or not it's on the menu. If you would've told me on the phone that you can't make simple chicken with fries, I would've gladly chosen another restaurant, but that isn't what you said on the phone AND it was poorly executed. The sea bass was not only extremely thin, it also had a large amount of bones for a fillet piece of fish. Like I said, overpriced, mediocre French food.

The music here it is incredible. it is one of the most intimate supper clubs in all of Miami the food, as others have already written, is prepared on quite a higher level. The high quality of the entertainment makes this place a stand out. The atmosphere is very sophisticated and the entire experience is wonderful and romantic One dining surprise I had was when I ordered the foie gras it was not a liver pate but an actual small piece of duck liver. it was quite small and about the size of your pinky finger. It was quite tasty however My main drawback is on the pricing which as others and said is high and probably prevents many from returning, particularly, the wine list which does not have any reasonably priced bottles on it If some of the prices were pared back it will definitely earn a five star

This location has seen several fine French bistro-style restaurants. Formerly Lemon Twist, Rouge is a fine, casual local restaurant serving nicely prepared flavorful fare. The duck and fig sausage with carmelized onions as an appetizer is a must..followed by beet salad and fish prepared in parchment...yes, it's all good. Dessert apple tart was ok. Service was good. Next time, weather permitting, we'll sit outside in the patio in the back. Intimate and casual. Recommended. Recently returned to this restaurant and sat outside in their beautifully decorated, somewhat romantic patio. Food was good although my lamb shank was a bit tough. Interestingly prepared and delicious beet salad; fish entree delicious. Recommended but do sit outside and stick with specials. Owner is a very pleasant and interesting fellow who enjoys his craft. Free parking in public lot in rear or along street.

So disappointed!!! It's like when you walk in, you expect the ambience to match the food, the prices and the service but Nope!!! It does not add up at all. Listen, the decor and atmosphere screams romance and nice memories but when you sit down, it becomes a different type of experience. So, the service-not attentive nor did I feel that they really cared when I have an issue with my food. The food-not bad but mostly on the bland side. The prices-senselessly over priced...not even worth the total experience. The location-it kinda tricky but there's paid parking in the back. The decor-dim and romantic expect for outside...kinda shabby. **Note: If you want to impress your date then just come here to order appetizers and maybe a drink...but save your money for the main course, it's not worth it ...you will thank me later. So, check it out, I ordered the Rabbit and the Risotto, which was good but needed a little more flavor...I wished my experience was better because I paid a lot to be truly disappointed!!
