There's a huge difference between saying "when evaluated on a value-for-the-money perspective, there are better restaurants in Calgary than Rouge," (like you said) vs. "Rouge is no good at all" (like wireframe said). I can potentially agree with the former statement, but anyone who makes the latter is a philistine with no appreciation of cuisine.

Anyway, here are my favourite fine dining establishments in Calgary (in no order):

Rouge
Muse
Alloy
Jaroblue
Charcut
Catch

If you want to go a bit further afield, Crazyweed in Canmore is also delicious.
