Adios Lolita, Bonjour ROUGE Brasserie + Oyster Bar – Greenwich, CT

Update:  Rouge is open now and here’s our review.  

While we’ve been to Red Lulu in SoNo right after it opened, we never had the chance to visit its sister restaurant in Greenwich:  Lolita.  Well, we’re not going to get that chance to ever visit this Greenwich hotspot.  That’s because the cb5 restaurant group has embarked upon a monumental transformation.

Opening November 1, you’ll find ROUGE Brasserie & Oyster Bar has replaced Lolita.  Much of the inspiration for this opening goes back to a previous cb5 restaurant, BLEU.  At the time of its opening, BLEU was a groundbreaking restaurant and definitely pushed the limits of Fairfield County dining.  And, taking it back to BLEU again, cb5 is assembling a reunion of sorts right at the restaurant.  Many of the servers and bartenders are back along with Josh Moulton who returns as Executive Chef.
