Rouge Tomate is my first Michelin Star rated restaurant. The expectations were high from my side prior to our visit. I must say, I wasn’t disappointed. The interior is modern and nice looking. We were seated at a booth (there were 5 of us), with plenty of room on a table and to seat. The service was very nice – attentive but not annoying, offering just the right amount of information that you want to hear… except one thing… which I consider to be a huge snafu on their part. When describing the specials, we were told that the... read more

Good Restaurant – My husband and I ate at Rouge Tomate last night and overall, we enjoyed it. Ambience: - Big, open modern space -- nicely decorated. Tables not too close together - Not necessarily romantic, would probably be good for a group. - Granted we went out on a Wed. night, but it was a little empty. I do think it's important for a big open space like that to be full and bustling. I do hear that it gets a bigger lunch crowd. Service: - Excellent, attentive service - Knowlegeable staff - Food came out quickly -- almos... read more

Just like Jeter - overrated – I first experienced R.T. during its pre-opening, and it was really terrible. The servers knew nothing of the dishes, and the food was inedible. Giving it another chance, I returned recently to find the service quite attentive and knowledgeable, but the food was worthy of a Rotten Tomato as opposed to the unbelievable Michelin Star it received. The amuse bouche burned my mouth it was served so hot. The Ceviche was prepared with stale popcorn I wouldnt eat at a second rate movie theatre. The entre... read more

The Editorial Review Is a Farce – It could easily have been written from reading the restaurant's promotional materials or visiting its web site, and conveys none of the opionion or evaluation that one would expect in a review. Reproduced below: "Coming to New York on a wave of optimism and ideology, this high-concept modern American restaurant follows the principles of S.P.E. (sourcing, preparing, enhancing) and an international nutrition manifesto--there's even an in-house nutritionist who works with chef Jeremy Bearman, a... read more

Great new restaurant! – My boyfriend and I enjoyed a delicious meal here last evening. We were very pleased with the entire experience, including the ambience, the service, and every bite of our meals. The food was incredibly flavorful and satisfying, much more so than I would have expected from a menu which avoids rich staples like butter and cream. I ordered the squash soup and a chicken dish with autumn vegetables and quinoa. John had the hummus appetizer and the striped bass in a seafood chowder. The soups especially wer... read more

A lovely Experience – We had a lovely lunch at Rouge Tomate on Friday. We were struck by the warmth of the space from the moment we walked in from the cold. The designing was impeccable with special little touches everywhere. The staff was very friendly and helpful with coats/bags etc. as well as very conscious of our time constraints. The food was a delight and the service exquisite. Our server explained the cuisine with such admiration that we wished we could have ordered one of everything. The Managers also added a nice d... read more

Great place for a really nice dinner – I walked into Rouge Tomate on a reccommendation from a friend. We sat at the bar and the bartender steered us toward a couple of cocktails. The Hudson Sour and the Pear Crisp. Very good drinks. Then we sat upstairs in the cafe for some dinner. The food was great and there were some great options. The scallops and the chicken were the table favorites. The server was very helpful with the menu. I highly suggest the fluke tartar as starter. I liked the decor inside too. It felt like we wer... read more
