The food was so delicious and our waiter Narek was hands down the best. He gave us recommendations for both food and drinks which did not disappoint. The overall service that was provided by the manager Suzy was exceptional. She was very attentive and made sure that all our needs and wants were fulfilled. The fantastic hospitality was just one of the reasons I will definitely go back. Suzy and Narek were able to accommodate us even though we were a large group. The food was brought out promptly and it was perfect for sharing. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasant. The Dj was great, the dancers were amazing, the music was on point, the hookah and the overall ambiance was a blast. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a girls night or a company celebration or just for a dinner date. I can't wait to go back there very soon read more

Everything from A to Z was perfect the ambience, the service, the hospitality, the food, and their amazing crafted drinks. Highly recommended. read more

This was my second time trying this restaurant, and unfortunately the service was just as bad as the first time. The food is actually really good, but the service really ruins the experience. Nobody came to check on us, we kept trying to get someone's attention, and the servers were checking on other tables while ignoring ours. It took forever just to order food and even to get water. I really wanted to give this place another chance because the food has potential, but the service needs a lot of improvement before I'd consider coming back. read more

My daughter and her friends went to restaurant today at 7 PM. They paid the waitress, and when they realized that the young girls, aged 16 and 17, were just given water without asking, they ended up paying $56 just for water that they didn't request. The waitress simply brought bottled water without asking if they wanted a refill. It was quite unpleasant, despite the restaurant having a nice ambiance and good food. This experience was very disappointing. It's really unfortunate that the waitstaff took advantage of the fact that there was a group of young girls to make extra money and increase their sales. They could have asked the girls if they wanted anything and informed them that the bottled water was not complimentary. Also, the iced tea was brought without asking, and they just took the glasses away and brought full ones of iced tea. My daughter mentioned that they didn't even drink the iced tea and just wasted their money. They spent $56 or $60 just on water that they didn't order, which was brought without their reques read more

This place is extremely overhyped. I visited on 6/14 around 10 PM. They charged $80 for a hookah that barely lasted 30 minutes, and their drinks--priced at $19--were absolutely terrible. When I mentioned to the waitress that the hookah tasted burnt, she claimed hookahs are only meant to last 30-45 minutes, which is just not true. On top of that, she gave me attitude for simply voicing my concerns. The final bill for just one hookah and two drinks somehow came out to $150. The math just isn't adding up, but whatever--lesson learned. Save your money and go somewhere else. You'll thank me later. If I could give negative stars, I absolutely would. read more

Rouge - This is the charcoal placement you get with an $80 hookah. Disappointing - New American Near Me - Studio City, California

Very trendy spot. The vibe is very upscale. I was shocked it was empty inside, but our service was top tier we were checked on constantly. The food options aren't very plentiful but overall the food was missing a depth of flavor, it was good but not great. I can see coming here to have a drink with friends but not a meal. read more

Always a pleasure to come back to Rouge! The ambiance, food and entertainment are great! Amazing staff and service! Maya was our server this time and she was such a pleasant and sweet individual, very professional and attentive to guests! This place never disappoints. read more

This place is really cool. The interior is renovated nicely, they have valet parking. The food was good and the djs were amazing. Check them out on Thursdays. The keyboard player and dj really made the place lively. PS: The place is revamped as a higher end restaurant than the previous rouge so don't be surprised at the prices. Hookah was $80+ read more

This was our first time dining here, we will definitely be back. My daughter chose to have her Birthday dinner here. We sat on the front patio, it is beautiful and feels magical with the twinkle lights. Shay is fantastic, sweet, attentive, and friendly. French fries are insane! Highly recommend the caesar salad, and salmon. Enjoy! read more

10/10 HANDS DOWN!!!! Service was great, the servers were very attentive and was constantly checking in on us to see if we'd like another drink or ask how everything is tasting so far. Ambiance was perfect--my friend and I were seated outside and the weather was just right. We had rsvp at 8 pm but it wasn't cold at all, and if it was, there are heaters around. I am a sucker for restaurants that incorporate lots of plants, makes me feel like I'm on a vacation. Lights were dim but enough so you can still see the person across from you. Music wasn't loud. Decor was on point. Loved the vibes here. Finally. THE FOOD!!! Beets were AMAZING- it was such a pleasant surprise with every bite. Beets and pomegranate?! Excellent pairing. It was such a flavor explosion that I had to take a moment to pause and savor the flavor every time I took a bite. What really took the dish to the next level was the yellow cream(?). It had a cumin taste to it which really married all the flavors together--definitely a wow factor. Octopus- YUMM!! Another top dish! Spanish charred octopus sitting on deliciously crafted elote. The octopus was prepared just right--not too chewy, not too hard. I like how the end of the tentacle had a burnt taste to it, it changed the profile of the "perfect bite." The corn to cotija ratio was perfection. This dish is light and could be eaten in one sitting. Bone marrow- WOW. First to leave the table, sooooo good. I'm still thinking about it. Bone marrow and jam?! Whaaaaat?? Y'all, this is the new IT couple!! The chives were a great touch. The sourdough was crispy and soft at the same time, but bread is just great in general. Shoes in K-Town BBQ- Good, but not great. It HAS the potential to be great. It's in-between stages. Hanger steak was oh so tender!!! Porridge had a nice consistency. Definitely want to eat it while it's warm. Everything all together? Some pockets were saltier than the other, not sure if it's the mixing. Porridge reminds me of a dish you eat when you're sick or feeling homesick. This ain't it. This is a full entree with rich flavors. It's a dish you should try, nonetheless! Spicy vodka pasta- ehhhhh. This dish wanted to be in the lineup so badly but didn't make the cut. It was OKAY, nothing exciting, no wow factor, no surprises. I think the sauce could be a little thicker. Maybe some basil? Cracked pepper? The flavor profile of this dish would be described as monotone. It DID have a kick though, which was nice. This dish was the only one that's taken home. I would skip on this. Overall, I'm surprised Rouge wasn't packed on a Friday night. This place is underrated and needs more attention. Chef Dro knows what he's doing. The vibes here are amazing. 10/10 would come back!! read more

Stopped in with wifey for dinner on my birthday. Our server was extremely nice and prompt. The appetizers was great, the entrees were amazing (definitely try the salmon). The ambiance was chill, but there was an unexpected thing that made me fall in love with this place. Let me backtrack for a second. I'm from Chicago, and DJ there. As I was eating this delicious food, Chicago Deep House was blasting out the speakers. Come to find out, this music was courtesy of the bartender. The bartender was ridiculously nice. I had to give my respects for the drinks and music selection. Mind you, this is my first time dining here, and it was my birthday, and they was playing music from my hometown. They even gave me this awesome chocolate brownie with sparkles for my birthday. I highly suggest this place. They pull out all of the stops to make sure you have an excellent experience. read more

This is a must visit. The menu is perfect and I hope it doesn't change anytime soon because there's alot more of the menu items I would like to experience. There's a evening DJ, bar that you can enjoy after dinner. This place is just an incredible vibe. Ask for Michaela she gave us wonderful service. read more

Narek!!! man!!! that guy is amazing took care off us like his own family. Very professional!! We pretty much had everything from menu and i didn't hear any complaints from my colleagues, i only heard compliments how food is great. From seafood to steaks And especially cocktails! Overall great atmosphere just to enjoy a good time there. I felt like an all inclusive high quality resort. The ambiance made us feel timeless and great place to get together with with your closed ones Thank you ! read more

Everything about this place was GREAT; food, drinks, ambiance, vibe, music/DJ, and customer service. Highly recommended!!!

I come here pretty often and I got to tell you. These guys are really know what they're doing. From the drinks to the perfectly portion size entrées you are destined to have a total roller coaster of flavors in your taste buds. This is a great spot for you to catch up and come out. Grab a drink. Enjoy some really good food and smoke. Some hookah. Weekends are a little packed and a little harder to get in but totally worth the wait. Natalia, Yaz, & Hyak are always serving some amazing drinks. If your vibe is to look for a trendy spot that has very well served drinks that pack flavor and have the perfect balance of alcohol. This is your spot. Trust me when I tell you there's a reason why this place has five stars. Lastly, I'd like to add that they have valet upfront and it's very convenient. I've been here on both super busy nights and slow nights and I can tell you that the guy at the Valet are equally nice and friendly. Give this place a try and I promise you you will not regret it. Side note: they have a DJ on the weekend and on Sundays. They do a live salsa dance class. Check them out! read more

What a delightful find in Studio City! First of all, the space: a green, peaceful, spacious oasis with plenty of room to lounge or dine. Secondly, the service: helpful, friendly and attentive. As all the wine is Armenian the waitress generously brought 3 different pours of white wine for my husband to choose. I also want to say the stemware was so elegant - very thin lip to glass and long stem. My flûte of bubbly was filled to the brim which was very much appreciated! The food was delicious and original and beautifully presented in low plates. You could just stick to appetizers and enjoy their extensive choices. It's a great place for a date or for a romantic evening with your partner. I would definitely come here again. read more

Been admiring the photos online and really dig the whole renovation. They completely re-did the place and it's BEAUTIFUL. The decor is almost Mediterranean/Tulum vibes with a great closed/open air concept. Stopped by on a Wednesday night for a quick bite and we were literally the only people there. Maybe it's a much more happening place on the weekends. For being the only people there the staff was a bit absent, but when present, extremely nice. They made great food recommendations and wow the food was just delicious! - Steak Tartare Toast was buttery, soft, and just the perfect salty bite and pretty big. -Cremini mushroom pasta!! Umami umami umami! The chew on the pasta was perfect and that creamy mushroom sauce was just too good. Totally recommend! - Persian love story was the perfect salty/sweet treat. If that's your ham, go for it! Yum. Parking may be a slight issue but they do have valet parking available. I would like to try this place out again on a Friday or Saturday night and see if it's a little more lively. read more

Was invited here this past week for a holiday get together and I was thoroughly impressed. I remember coming here eons ago and was shocked to discover what they done to the new rouge - it has gone through an entire transformation (the good kind) which now makes it one of my favorite spots on ventura blvd. the vibe/ambience was very fitting, it felt like I was transported to Tulum; in addition, the DJ on this Thursday night was absolutely incredible. I am a DJ myself and I know a good DJ when I hear one ;). Most important, the show stopper here was the food and the hookah. We had ordered a bunch of starters/entrees and they were ALL SO GOOD! The stuffed tiger shrimp, chilean seabass skewers, calamari, vodka posta, fettucini, burger/fries, steak, etc, everything was good here. They also have a special designated area for the hookah near the bar which is a great added touch. It's hard for a spot to have good food AND hookah, but rouge excels in both. Lastly, our server Narek was phenomenal and was attentive the whole night - he was always there when we needed him and ensured we were well taken care of. We also had the fortune of meeting the owner Armen as well who was very kind and appreciative. Looking forward to coming back here again the near future! read more

I've been to this place over 5 years ago for my birthday before the remodeling. I had a great time for my birthday back then. So I decided to surprise my girlfriend on her birthday since the scenery is now completely different from back then. My girlfriend didn't even recognize the place until I told her. She was surprised with family and friends as we entered the lounge. The food is also pretty good. Our waitress was very helpful and polite. She was there whenever we had questions or needed more food and drinks. We had a party of 13 people, so there was a $50 minimum per person. They also had dancers who would walk around doing fire tricks. read more

Saturday night, the female DJ with blonde hair was horrible. Do not waste your $ here if you're looking for good music. Food and service was great but music sucked!! read more

Been here 3 times already since their opening and I love it. I like to sit in the lounge area because that's where they serve hookah. Their hookah lasts a long time. The drink and staff are amazing. The dj plays the best songs. I highly recommend trying all their appetizers, especially the shrimp it's my favorite. I've also had their salmon and pasta which was also yummy. read more

Let me just start off by saying the food is incredible from the apps to the entreès i'm severely impressed. I got the smash burger and the waffle fries. The burger is to die for and the waffle fries are crispy and a great combo with the ranch and ketchup. The service was also impressive, our waitress was extremely nice and when asked about the food she showed us pictures and was happy to help us with whatever we needed. Saving the best for last the ambiance is straight vibes. They retracted the roof shade and seeing the night sky while throwing down a burger was something I didn't think I would be doing tonight. The music is also very nice and the lights are definetly eye catching. It's a cool spot to come with friends and even family. Definetly recommending to all my friends and family and definetly coming back. read more

Arrived at 5:15, they were still cleaning the place. Went into the restroom and it was not clean right when it opens!? Bartender was distracted even though we were the only customers in the place. Ambiance is good, nice decoration. Not coming back. read more

Pretty atmosphere , i would not come back for the food . Nothing we ate was great . The music so was loud i couldn't even hear my friends across from me at the table . Had to ask to turn down . Speaker was tight at my table . Food was like bar food nothing fancy . Had two drinks didn't feel even a slight buzz so didn't order a 3rd ... our waitress was amazing . Still left with a $350 bill for 3 people. A bit pricy for the food quality. Better place to come to just have a drink or smoke hookah ... dancers were cool too . read more

Absolutely amazing service! Our bartender Yasamine took such great care of us. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely awesome vibes all around. She literally made the best craft cocktail that I couldn't stop ordering. It's called the "what's up doc" and the name is what caught my attention and then once I read the ingredients and it had fresh carrot juice i was sold! And it tasted like perfection. She recommended we try the Rouge Burger and wow... hands down one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Juicy, flavorful, and just perfectly done. Her recommendations made the night plentiful. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for making our experience so memorable! read more

Valet parking $15- worth every penny in studio city. The inside of the restaurant is a vibe, beautiful decor! Menu isn't very large- I had the chicken which was really delicious. The skin and potatoes were crispy and great flavor. Friends for the vodka pasta- it definitely is spicy but super flavorful. We had to get dessert of course- crème brûlée was perfect, the sampler was a crowd pleaser except the brownie we thought needed to be warmed up. Service was excellent! Our waiters were great. read more

My in-laws, fiancé and I tried this place out on a Thursday evening at 6:30 PM. It was a very quiet evening with a beautiful ambiance. The Muhammara with pita was delicious! As well we had the sourdough and butter which had a delicious crunch and warmth to it. As well the blue crab cake had a nice kick to it with the parsley and pickled veggies. I had the shoes k-town steak with the rice porridge and they do not take it light on the chili oil so make sure you are a fan. The only thing I would say that could use improvement was that the service was very slow and I don't know if that was supposed to be the vibe or due to lack of staff. read more

Rouge recently transformed itself into a gorgeous idyllic jungle-like escape. Upon entering, it is like you are transported to Tulum, but in the comfort of Studio City. The décor and intricate design to detail from the ceilings, to the couches and tables are magical. A space that satisfies all, meaning you have hookah to smoke, cocktails to sip and amazing food to indulge in. My go to drink was the Spicy Passionfruit Margarita. Two of my favorite things in one, the flavors perfectly compliment each other. Espresso martini is ALWAYS a good option. For those wanting a bit of a refreshing drink the Tulum Tonic is the one for you. Note: these are all made with SABE. So they're smooth! Each dish in the menu is clearly very well thought out and tastes remarkable. You will leave quite impressed regardless of what you try. My notable favorites are as follows: Starters: lebneh, shishito peppers, crispy Brussel sprouts (and I say this not liking Brussels,) and definitely the bone marrow. The charred octopus is delightful. The dish that stole the night was the Shoes K town BBQ, the rice porridge with chili oil is soft and creamy with a hint of spice, and the hanger steak just melts in your mouth. For dessert, the olive oil cake was a hit with my friends. The service here is also very impressive. They are very helpful with recommendations, they are extremely attentive which is sometimes a hard find in LA. As someone who continuously has been coming to Rouge since 2008, it makes me proud to say that I have only seen them grow better as the years go by. read more

Rouge has such a nostalgic charm that brings back so many wonderful memories! My friends and I used to visit when it was still "Kafe Rouge," and now that we're all married and moms, it's a joy to catch up there again. It feels like a time capsule, and I couldn't be happier that the owner brought back the hookah, I can't imagine Rouge without it! We were there yesterday, and I absolutely love the new interior and menu. The atmosphere is inviting and fresh, making it a perfect spot to relax and reminisce. Seeing the owner again was like stepping back in time, and it sparked so many fond memories. If you're looking for a place that blends nostalgia with a modern twist, Rouge is definitely the spot to be! read more
