Came here on an early Tuesday evening to catch up with an old friend. At first glance, I was quite impressed with the nice & cozy decor, but my good first impression stopped there. While I was waiting for my friend, no one came to greet me or offer me a beverage. It wasn't until about 10 minutes after my friend arrived that we received any service. The food options seemed nice and I tried their Vietnamese tacos, that tasted like a miniature version of a sandwich, with carrots, parsley and braised pork. Wasn't too bad, but not amazing. My friend had their penne which she enjoyed. During our meal a fly kept swarming our table, so that was kind of annoying, and as we finished both our dishes, the waitress was quick to collect our dishes and offer dessert. We eventually turned that down, but still managed to have a great catch-up session until the waitress brought our bill and kept coming back twice to try to ring it through. What was the rush? It didn't really make for a great dining experience, especially when the service was choppy and all they wanted to do was shoo us out of there. Great location, but nothing else to entice me to go back. =(

My friends and I were curious to check out Transcontinental's new design - now Rogue. At first glance, the hanging chandeliers, new colours and trendy opulence is definitely a welcome change. We were seated promptly for lunch in a fairly busy dining room.

One interesting promotion Rogue has going on right now is "pay what you think the meal is worth". If you believe the meal is not as good, or worth less than the menu price, you simply let the server know and fill out a form, paying them what you think it's worth. If you feel the menu price is too low and pay more for the meal, they will donate the difference to charity. It's a good gimmick, but unfortunately, this puts extreme pressure for the restaurant to deliver - and perhaps makes patrons a bit more critical on the quality of food they're receiving. I know I was swayed to really critique my lunch. Sadly, my halibut fish tacos didn't deliver. The concept and ingredients were good, but execution was poor. The tacos arrived cold, under seasoned, and tasteless while the side of fries were over salted and over fried (dry). My friends who ordered the same thing had similar comments. We ended up paying the full price for the tacos anyway, but hope that the restaurant will do better next time.

The server was great - attentive, with quality checks and got us what we needed quickly. The only complaint is that it took a while for her to collect the money and process payment after we received the bills.

I caught the Canucks game here on a Sunday night and was immediately impressed with the high ceilings, decor, large windows ( in the dining room ) and just natural beauty that Rogue is housed within Waterfront Station. Add in 3 big screens, and a projection screen behind the brightly lit bar and it's a hockey fans' dream. We were seated in an enclave just off the main bar area, and while there was a massive screen and a 40 (?) inch screen the sound was only audible for us from the screens by the bar. The fans were well-behaved, in a good mood, and in general nicely dressed and casually upscale. Ambiance = cool

We ordered calamari, natchos, and a halibut dinner item. You really can't screw-up calamari or natchos but you can make them outstanding, unfortunately they were both ordinary and typical bar standard. The halibut was described to me as tastless, but the curry sauce around it made it a bit more palatable. Food = boring

The server we had was great! She was very pleasant, smiling often, always around checking if we needed top ups on our drinks, more food. She handled a busy section with fantastic competence. Service = great

They've got 20 beers on tap so go here for the drinks and the Canucks' games, but you can definitely do better for dinner.

Went here to watch the tail end of a hockey game. It's an impressively decorated restaurant,as other reviewers have mentioned. The food, however, is WAY overpriced. $14 for a hamburger? $13 for a bowl of chili? I did order the hamburger, as it was 9 oz. and the least expensive "entree". It was quite good and filling, but not $14 good. The service was also good, but the waitress did refuse our request to turn up the volume (it was inaudible) on the TVs for the game, which we thought was a bit odd. Why bother installing large screen TVs showing sports all over the restaurant if you're not even going to turn "on" the volume? We also found the chairs quite uncomfortable...they are much too narrow for even average-sized people.

All-in-all, Rogue was worth the visit, but just barely.

This style of restaurant is much better suited to the area then the previous restaurant. The beer is cold and the food is good. If you follow their twitter account you will get key words that will get you free drinks. The outside patio is big but shaddy. The service has always been solid. Never left with an empty glass and even in the middle of the lunch hour rush food arrives within a reasonable time. I will be back again.

I ate here as a party of 5 for lunch on a week day. The place was packed inside and out with the business crowd. Very little tourists. I saw the oath sheet to pay only what I felt the meal was worth.

I had the Tuna Tataki which was seared in an ultra spicy cajun spice with edamame, and a mango coulis. Beautiful garnished with radishes, fried lotus, cucumber.

The disappointing thing was that we also ordered the Sushi Bombs, which are balls of rice with sushi toppings on them and they were garnished the EXACT SAME WAY!! WHY!?

So let me explain the sushi bombs. You put the sushi bomb into your mouth then you squeeze the little tubes of sauce into your mouth with it for a squirt of flavor. The bomb was DELICIOUS. The sauce was taste but there was too much of it so I only used a bit and it was fine. Overall kinda fun and something I'd like to try at a house party, but not at a restaurant again.

Meal was the crispy chicken burger with fries. The breaded chicken fillet was delicious, BUT a little bit dry. If it had been cooked a little less, it would have be perfect. The butter lettuce inside was wilted a little bit, but not enough for me to be concerned. Fries were disappointing. crisp throughout. I prefer fries that are crisp on the outside and soft in the inside.

It was about on the same level as Earls or Cactus club. I wasn't impressed but I wasn't put off. It certainly doesn't deserve the negative reviews its been receiving IMHO. I prefered the Transcontinental menu and decor.
