Le Rouge

Very nice. Mac n Cheese and Cab.

Nice little wine / tapas bar located along Restaurant Row.

The service was really good and from the moment I arrived, the servers kept checking in on me to make sure I was ok. I was waiting on someone so I didn't order anything off the bat, but they kept checking in. There was a little bit of lag when they gave us the menu to order some tapas, the servers kind of disappeared. Needed to be waived down to put our order in.

The layout of the locale is nice, but it could be better. Pictures on the website show the couches lined up against the wall facing the bar. That isn't out it is set up anymore. Maybe moved it around to keep it interesting, but the existing layout was kind of tight. Thankfully it was not crowded but if it was, then legroom would have been a premium to sit comfortably.

Overall, a nice location but it alas, it didn't really stand out above and beyond what might be expected; however, I would go back if in the area and needed some vino recharge :)

If you're a wine snob this is the place for you. The wine is sold by the glass with a lot of options. Every wine I've had at this place has been amazing. I did the tasting menu recently which can change daily as it is up to the chef what he will serve. Our bartender poured us some generous glasses with each course. It was all delicious. We had the ahi tuna, the salmon and finally the garlic shrimp. If you like cheese and wine, the cheese tray is a great option. I've tried the flourless chocolate cake and the chocolate creme brulee which are both exquisite. The ambiance is amazing as it is very chic and makes me feel like I'm at a bar in NYC. I've never seen it on a busy night but that won't keep me from returning. I kind of like the quiet romantic vibe. I used the $20 for $10 Yelp deal and it worked well. This is really quite a hidden gem in the Dr. Phillips area.
