I had dinner here the other night, used to go very often but hadn’t been in a few years and it was just as delicious as I remember. I actually recognized our waitress Deanne from years ago, she was very friendly. Good to see long time staff somewhere!The Reno’s they’ve done with the place look really good and the food was just as delicious as I remembered. I had the pork belly and it was perfect.I always recommend the rook & Raven to friends and I will continue to do so! Very happy

If you enjoy your food half done, and service next to none. This is the place. Completely dissatisfied!

The service is less than good, but the food and handeling of issues top the inexperience and unprofessional behaviour of the staff. The scotch egg, the meat was so dry that it shrank away from the batter, but the egg yolk was still proper at runny. The meat tasted like beef and not pork as it is sold and the fat content is severely lacking which gives good reason to why it was so dry and undesirable. When cut into it broke into separate pieces and was a mess. The worst scotch egg i have ever had. The wings... First time were skinny and not impressive to look at but the flavour was smokie and buttery with an amazing taste... Till i found a hair on my second wing attached to one that was black and very long. And fried into the wing. The waiter/bartender said i will have new ones out to you in five min. 25 min later i asked if they were coming as many tables had wings being served around me but my new ones were not presented. She went back and came out saying they were missed. Almost 35 min later i got my replacement wings to which were so incredibly salty it could have been anything as all it tasted like was salt. No compensation was offered to my initial issue and after waiting so long the offer of my cheepest beverage being removed from the bill was all that was done. All the girls working could spend less time giggling at the end of the bar talking about personal crap and how happy they are they dont have to come into this "dump" for the weekend was a clear reflection as to why the service was so bad. The potential is there but consistency and service is the biggest road block to their success. Very disappointing as it was on my list for some good reviews but clearly tonight that was a huge miss.

Ok. Mixed review here.I was BLOWN AWAY by the food. Honestly that may have been the best tasting, most delicious dish I’ve ever been served in a restaurant. I had the short rib and I swear, that was the best tasting cut of beef I’ve ever eaten in a Saskatoon restaurant.Now, at the last booth a server sat putting forks and knives into napkins while eating shrimp with her bare hands.My wife has a shellfish allergy, so she asked our server to please bring her a cutlery that had not been rolled by this other server.The fireplaces didn’t work, it was dark, the tiles outside the door were ultra slippery and I’m pretty sure I could smell the bathroom from the second last booth, BUT I will go back for those ribs.They also had a lot of different beer on tap and a cider which was a nice change.The ribs were $30 and my wife’s steak was $28ish?$80 and we each had a drink and were stuffed.

Lovely little bar, service is great and food was excellent. Drinks were delicious as well. Great for a date night. A little pricy, but there are much worse options for more.

Good atmosphere, staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions on what was good on the menu. It was my first visit, but I will definitely visit this establishment again.

My family and I came to the Rook & Raven for lunch a couple days ago. I hadn't been in awhile and I was reminded what a wonderful spot it is! The vibe is nice and chill and very welcoming. Our food and drinks came out quickly and very tasty. The service was terrific, our server Claire was so cheerful and helpful which made an already great experience even better. Thanks to everyone at the Rook & Raven for keeping it a gem of the downtown pub scene, we'll be back soon! Cheers!
