Food was excellent, but portions small. Restaurant was nearly empty, and I wonder how they can survive if that is the norm. For a near empty restaurant, the service was slow and spotty. Their outside dining area has the potential to be a fantastic waterfront venue, but is very plain and bare-bones.

Portions were very small hardly enough for one person and there was 4 of us.The lemon grass grilled chicken was less than one thigh and the garlic noodles was on a salad size plate. It not like it used to be and the pictures are not the portions size, it is half the amount.

Food was very good! Really chill spot. Service was okay. We did wait almost 50 minutes before our appetizers hit the table. They did acknowledge the lengthy wait time and service smoothed out from there. Seems like it could be a good place to take the family. We plan on going back to give it another try, since the food was pretty delish.

There is so much potential with the setting on the estuary, but the restaurant really doesn't take advantage of it. Some post pandemic changes have not helped, such as getting rid of the hostess stand which leads to a confusing check in process and resulted in my husband finding a homeless women in the men's bathroom on on our visit. The value for the money is good and the food is tasty, but would not return.

My friends and I really enjoyed the food at Dragon Rouge. The flavors were great and all of the recommended dishes were outstanding. I will say that we would have liked a little more spice in the spicy dishes we ordered. Thanks so much!
