the rook and raven

good food - be aware it is 19+. i have had the burger and it was amazing. my husband had the pork belly and just loved it. he could hardly wait to come back and try the place again. went a different time for appetizers - mostly enjoyed the poutine, but found it to be too salty - i wonder if there was a mistake because i (and my sister who was sharing it) have a very high tolerance for salt and find myself adding it to just about everything, but this was pushing it for both of us.

i am editing this review after posting earlier about my friend and me being turned away because she had a baby (who was sleeping). i received feedback from the establishment that because they are licensed first as a tavern, they cannot allow anyone under the age of 19 in the establishment or they will be fined. i think it's just a good heads up for people to know ahead of time. (it also would have been nice to be given that explanation by the individual who asked us to leave, as i think my friend and i are both reasonable people - and being given the explanation now, it makes complete sense).

ribs were inedible. before i begin, i will preface this story by telling you that i am a trash compactor. i eat everything. i do not send food back. i am a quiet guy and i don't like to make trouble, and i always tip 20%.

i ate here with my wife. she had been here a few times with her co-worker and they both recommended it. they had a rack of ribs on special, and i ordered it. the rack was huge, however even with the steak knife provided, i could not cut the ribs. i told the waitress of my troubles, and she took it to the kitchen and brought it back cut into individual ribs. i tried biting into one. could not get through the meat, it was tough and full of gristle. i ate the salad it came with, and when the waitress returned i told here that i was sorry, but i can not eat these ribs. she took it away without comment. when she brought our bill, she asked how everything went, and my wife explained once again that i was unable to eat the ribs, and could we get them taken off the bill. she talked to the manager and he said that because it has already been rung up, there was nothing they could do. wtf. will not try again.

awesome..new favorite. great service!!! waitress "sorry can't remember name" was amazing with recommendations of food and beverage all of which blended beautifully together.. thank you
a perfect romantic evening

we are been there a couple times and definitely the food is delicious however we went last night around 9 pm and our server was terrible!! i don't know if she was kinda drunk but she never brought us anything! she was socializing with people of a different table but literally chating! and the rest tables including us waiting for her attention.

hands down best dining experience we've had in a few years!!. our server, i believe his name is brendan(?), started us out with a great fight club joke because of my husbands t-shirt. absolutely hilarious and started us off for a great meal. i had the chicken supreme and let me tell ya, it was supreme! the gouda, onion and bacon stuffed chicken was only made better by the seasoning on top and the white sauce. the hubby had the loaded burger and claimed it was the best burger he had ever had.
the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. i would most definitely recommend this restaurant to absolutely anyone and will be heading over there myself again for sure!

this restaurant is outstanding! the good was just amazing- we started with pulled pork tacos, i had the crepes, and my boyfriend had the chicken supreme- every dish was just superb. one of the best meals we've had in a long time. loved the drink menu, the decor, and the service was excellent. we were visiting saskatoon on our way from bc to ottawa and we're so happy we dined here. highly recommend this place!!

consistently good. i went to the rook and the raven last night and had the pork belly with saskatoon berry jam and potatoes. the potatoes were potatoes, can't fault them for that. but the pork belly was one of the most delicious things i have eaten in my life. it worked so well with the jam for a savory-sweet delicacy that i thought about all evening.
last night's foodgasm aside, my husband and i used to done here occasionally on date nights. we only stopped coming in order to discover other restaurants but the rook and the raven has consistently good food.

unbelievably bad food. disgusting greasy fish and chips, mushroom bruschetta swimming in balsamic ugh never again.

best chicken livers in town by far. service was a little below par tonight but i will come back again and again nonetheless. duck p,b and j is a must try

pork tenderloin came highly recommended by my server. although it was a little more well done than i would like, still very tasty. excellent wine list, great service, i will be back

professional service and soothing environment !!. i tried rook and raven couples of week back with one of my friend and i must say i loved it. we chose a place near by the large entrance window on sofas that had a view to watch outside on the street. started off with the cocktails and i was surprised to see the beer cocktails on the menu. tried one of them with guinness and cola and i never regretted for my order. lady who was serving us was professional and had a warm gesture to make us feel comfortable. chicken supreme was the best ever i had and i am planning to go back some other day with family this time. all in all a good experience and a nice place to dine out. highly recommended !!

ok but not great. was there tonight and tried the new smoked duck snack. duck was good but sauce detracted from the duck. ordered beet and goat cheese salad with blackened chicken. salad ingredients were fresh, dressing was tasteless. beets should have been roasted to increase flavour. blackened chicken was charred, dry and had no spicy kick or flavour.

a gem in saskatoon. i love the rook and raven. the staff are great, always friendly and helpful. i've been here on many occasions from large gatherings to just a quick lunch and have not been dissapointed. you can tell they really care about their food, the menu is well thought out and they always have something exciting to try. i have the ploughman's lunch the other day and the beef tongue (it was my first time) was delicious! go check this place out!

one of the best decently priced veggie burgers in town !

just a solid lunch. decided to take the lunch special for a rip today and as always, i wasn't disappointed. it was ribs and scallops on bacon rice. i know what you're thinking, and yes, it really was that good. they really know what they're doing here. the chef has his stick on the ice at all times.

try the scotch eggs, sooooo good!! this place is really reasonable and the food is good. only complaint is we had a waitress the one time that favoured men's tables over us ladies, but other than that great food comfortable atmosphere.
