I had dinner here alone while on business. Sat at the bar to watch the hockey game and have a bite to eat. The bartender was friendly and the service was great. The food was amazing and very well priced. Would definitely recommend it!

The Rook and Raven was well reviewed so we gave it a go. It is a basic restaurant and lounge combo on the ground floor of a hotel. The food was nothing special. The service was very pleasant but that is pretty standard in the Toon because the people are so nice in general. I wouldn't go back, the small... More

We visited the Rook and Raven based on other TripAdvisor reviews and were not disappointed. It has a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food was delicious. Definitely a place to go.

The Rook has a great lunch menu, supplemented by daily specials. You need to arrive before noon, but if possible I advise arriving after the lunch rush when things are a little less busy. The house salad is not to be missed. Our favorite dish is the pulled pork- it's outstanding. Also, the burger is one of the best in... More

We went to The Rook and Raven on Friday night. We walked in and were immediately greeted by a super friendly hostess, Danielle. She wrote our names down, as there were a couple of groups in front of us waiting for tables, told us the approximate wait time, and convinced us to stay by letting us know of the evening's... More

This highly rated restaurant deserves the credit, even if some of the 5/5 ratings are a little over the top. It is a small, pub-like setting. Nicely laid out, friendly staff and a very attractive menu. The food was very good, the ambiance relaxed and comfortable, and the service very prompt. It is a busy place and we felt a... More

I will start off by saying that this place was extremely hyped up by everyone I know. 1st issue is that they don't let you reserve tables; we had to send people there at 4:30pm just to get a table. By the time we arrived at 6 the place was a zoo! Lined up out the door. It was as... More

Almost everything about our experience was a 5/5. Good selection of beer on tap, great appetizers (especially the stuffed yorkshire's), and the service was amazing. The server was friendly, timely, and had a great knowledge of both the food and drink menu. However the mac and cheese was recommended as an entree, and it fell short of the rest of... More

Rook and Raven can be proud of its status in the emerging culture of understated , cool restaurants in Saskatoon that serve great food. This city has been going through a transformation in the downtown restaurant scene , but only a few deliver ,I will be back and looking forward to it!
