the rook and raven

i very much enjoyed my meal here. well prepared and fresh tasting. i had the chicken club and i liked it a lot.
the atmosphere was enjoyable and welcoming. servers were friendly.

they have one of my favourite dishes i have ever had. i just love this place. the chicken supreme is to die for. i honestly haven't had much else on their menu because i fell in love but i'm sure it all tastes just as good.

best dish i've ever tasted. pork bellies ... why aren't these on the menu at every restaurant? mcdonald's should introduce the mcbelly and it while it would be a poor naming choice it would be a runaway success. last night i saw pork belly on the menu at the rook and raven and i took a chance. if i had ever seen this before on a menu i don't recall but if i did i simply glazed over it and went for the "safer option". last night i was feeling more brazen, i suppose, and tempted fate by ordering the pork belly with saskatoon berry sauce with fingerling potatoes and my life will never be the same. simply put the meal was extraordinary beyond words. as i was attempting to describe to a friend today, "meaty butter". the pork was very tender while maintaining some texture but the layer of fat simply melted away into blissful porky happiness. the saskatoon berry sauce counter-balanced the ever-so-slight saltiness of the pork with sweet overtones and was the perfect compliment. the fingerling potatoes were a beautiful, understated compliment to the rest of the dish and if the chef had walked out there would have been a one man standing ovation in the restaurant. thank you rook and raven for opening my eyes to a whole new world of bacon bliss.

the rook and raven.. was a incredible meal. i had a burger and beet and goat cheese salad and my daughter had a steak with poutine.
food was amazing and drinks were original and very good.
our waitress was very knowledgable and very sweet. (danielle). made our dinner even more enjoyable.
would defiantly recommend this pub.

little taste of heaven: the chicken supreme is supreme... if you want a 30+ dollar meal for 20 greenbacks give this meal a shot, you won't be disappointed! just do it eye maitee

excellent food. been here several times and tried different food every time without a single disappointment. good prices for a tasty dining experience

bad experience. ordered fish n chips because waitress said it was quick. we waited over half house. several times we asked the waitress to check on it because we had concert tickets and had to rush. good never did come and they insisted we pay for it because we ordered it. we tried to explain we never hot it. too bad!!! we paid for something we never got. now we are at the concert hungry and miserable. never again will we go there

awesome place. delicious appies and entrees, great drink selection, wonderful staff, nice atmosphere. love it!

surprisingly good. i was expecting run-of-the-mill pub food, but i was completely wrong! the food and atmosphere were great, and i was pleasantly surprised with the prices ($11 burger).

outstanding every time!. one of my favourite places to eat in saskatoon. great beer, wine and cocktail menu. their weend specials are always worth a try. bison short ribs are delicious and filling. chicken dish very good too. nice appetizer choices - the lobster calamari is outstanding. great food and wait staff. will go back there again and again.

mixed emotions. i was excited to try this place out. the atmosphere was in between restaurant and pub. service was okay, the host seemed a little agitated but the server was great. we ordered drinks and dessert. drinks were good, service quick but the dessert was actually inedible! panna cotta with caramal candy, you couldn't actually eat the candy part, it was so hard and sticky it immediately bonded to your teeth! we ended up not finishing it for fear we would pull a tooth out! i think i would go back but just stick to the drinks.

i absolutely love this place. amazing food! from appies to supper everything is so tasty. great vibe too! i always enjoy having drinks or eating at the rook.

love to come here for supper. food is amazing.

uncooked fish - thanks stephen. just ordered fish and chips at the rook & raven. the fish was delivered to the table uncooked. i sent the fish back to the kitchen and stuck with the ribs. stephen, the hipster waiter, didn't even take the fish order charge off the bill. thanks stephen. we enjoyed the r&r service.

decent average food, nice environment.

pork belly with saskatoon berry jam and arugula. delicious combination of ingredients. good portion size!

delicious combination of ingredients. good portion size. so tasty!

excellent establishment!. just like its sister pub on broadway, the rook & raven has a special place in my heart. a fantastic selection of draught beer and one of the biggest scotch selections in the city, a creative cocktail menu (which they change up every now and then!), amazing gastro pub style food, and some truly lovely serving staff make this downtown location an absolute gem. the chef (as well as the rest of the kitchen staff) here are superbly talented, and i am continuously impressed by their weekend dinner features, as well as their daily features during the week. the rook is comfortable, affordable, and delightful. check this place out!!!
