"it has beautiful interiors with live jazz music in the night! always a nice experience to go and dinate here! it can also be a nice choice for special occasions, as the ambiente is beautiful with high ceilings! I am not too familiar with French cuisine, but eating enjoyed at both places! it would be amazing if they increased the options in their meal schedules!"

"We 'd been meaning to go to Crafthouse for a while and finally managed it for a Sunday lunch on a blustery Sunday the offer was very reasonable compared to some prices £25 for 2 courses. We came up in the private elevator from the road a nice touch; but then were left waiting in a corridor for 5 minutes whilst staff rushed around a half full dining room, then taken straight to our seats in the bar side of the restaurant we would have had a view of Boar lane and South Leeds if the blinds across the windows hadn 't;t all been fully down I can appreciate there would have been some glare earlier in the day, but the sun had already set when we arrived and so half our view was of greige. Service was a bit 'by the numbers ' there was a set order they worked in and we wouldn 't be allowed to order food at the same time as a drink even though we were ready. Starters were OK cured salmon was tasty and well presented, though the accompanying slice of brioche looked a little mean and unevenly toasted; the prawn cocktail was very salty prawns with a limp and tired salad and not enough Marie Rose. Mains were where it all fell apart we were offered beef or lamb either well done or pink and both settled on well, as medium was not allowed; Both meats arrived rare, and though tasty were very tough and gristly cuts, with a lot of visible fat around and through the meat. Veg were OK, though didn 't;t feel particularly freshly cooked. With a (very good) rum old fashioned at £18 the total came to £76 including a 12.5% service charge. Ambiance was noisy, with some dance ish music a bit too loud for my tastes perhaps closing the door on the very noisy group in the glassed off 'private ' dining room would have helped. I 'm glad we went, but there are much better options for the price, or less don;t think we 'll return."

"Very disappointed with this place. The service was very slow and all over the place. They looked massively understaffed with only 3 waitresses serving the room from what I could see. That said, the waitress we had was very good but was never going to be able to provide the service you’d expect with a restaurant so busy. One of the main courses arrived 10 minutes after the others (which had to be chased), and they missed part of the order as well which we had to remind them off. Worst of all was the steak tartare. It’s a dish I love and often select this when eating out. I have to say that this was just the worst ever a pile of mush with an awful texture and tasted just as bad. It was as though they had put this in a blender and left it for a few days. I actually started feeling ill a few hours afterwards and didn’t feel right until the following day."

"Amazing place. I was so impressed. The menu is creative without being fussy or simply to be different. There are extraordinary vegetarian and also vegan options..and these dont even stand out in looking at menu as being “different”. Had the celeriac… who would have thought it would be the perfectly delicious main for the plate! It was! Service was great. I had mentioned in reservation that my friend was celebrating birthday and a plate with delectable small tea cakes arrivec with Happy Birthday in chocolate.. I’m from US so cant make it a regular place to dine, but would otherwise"

"I took my mum and mother in law for high tea and we were delighted the moment we stepped in, amazing decor and absolutely stunning dining hall! Never seen anything like that before! We booked via phone and we were asked for card details first I was bit reluctant but they explained due to everything made fresh for diners we want to make sure nothing goes to waste as they do not take walk-ins, they also assured card won't be charged until dining and there is no cancellation fee if cancelled in advance, which made sense! We like afternoon tea/high tea but I can assure I have never had such an amazing tea before! Everything was so fresh, from scones to sandwiches and pastries! They also gave us surprises with hot and cold canapés which were freshly baked! Which made sense for calling it high tea! As there was so much to eat, freshly baked hot bread with butter was scrumptious! We will be back it was the best high tea we ever had!"

"A group of friends and I attended for a pre-booked meal and cocktails. Greeted by a rude waitress who told us if we wanted food we would have to order quickly as the kitchen was shutting, we have a table booked 19.30 until 21.30 but when we questioned this we was told we had been contacted via phone several times. On double checking my phone I insisted we hadn’t. Reluctantly we stayed orders drinks and food. Food arrived it was nothing special and over priced. One of the meal was off (seafood) and had to be sent back, the meal was not replaced and an alternative not offered. Following the remaining meals being completed we awaiting more drinks but was asked if we would like the bill because the bar would be closing, it was 21.00 and nowhere near closing hours advertised. We left and will never return and certainly wouldn’t recommend anyone waste their hard earned money."

"Located in the heart of London, this restaurant is a charming venue with a staff that is friendly and welcoming. The dining room is beautifully adorned with Greek singers and dancers, creating a lively atmosphere. During our visit on a quieter weeknight, we felt warmly received by everyone. For a more lively experience, I would recommend visiting on a Friday or Saturday when the restaurant is full of guests enjoying Greek cuisine and music."

"Dinner had to be sent back twice. Once it was cold, like veg not even warm. took over 20mins for replacement to come. Manger didn't say anything just ignored us. Second time, they'd overcooked it, totally inedible. By then it was nearly 10pm! Not once did the manager approach with apologies left it to the poor waitress. Very unprofessional and I'd definitely discipline that manger. It was just awful and I must say I was surprised."

"If you visit and haven't had the onion soup, you've done yourself a massive disservice. Outstanding food supported by excellent service. Don't expect to walk in and be seated during peak hours and seasons; do make a reservation and come with an appetite. High quality French cuisine is easy to associate with a large bill and a fair amount of pretense, especially when it's a facsimile of the real thing. If you find yourself in the area, treat yourself to Colbert and enjoy the genuine article. The cost is reasonable enough you may fancy bringing a mate too."

"Fantastic dinner, service and ambience. This place is brand new, and once the word gets out it is going to be busy. I had a spinach and cheddar soufflé, the josper Hereford steak frites, and a chestnut meringue for desert. Everything was delicious and served with utmost care and attention to detail by impeccable staff. Get in on the ground floor while this place is still easy to get into- it won't be forever!"

"Next time someone is running late and has a reservation please clearly state that you are closed at a certain time, i came all the way afterwork and my friend came from Reading so we had not made a plan B as I was under the assumption my researvation was jotted down as a late reservation arrival and would be seated upon arrival. Was disappointed as we were looking forward to it"

"Good food but awful service. We were sat down, then left alone for few minutes without menu, water or anything. Then we got the menu but still no water. Another couple was sat down nearby and they got served way before us, having had two waitresses serving them whereas they weren't bothered about us. When I wanted to pay, she put the bill on the table and went off, didn't come back for minutes and when we started looking for her, she was just laughing and flirting with the manager Didn't even apologise for having us wait. Seriously, for such a fancy looking place, the lack of any good service is very alarming."

"The restaurant has been closed for months. If I had to rate it, I wouldn't give it any stars as that would better reflect its current status. My partner, who was looking forward to dining at her favorite restaurant, was disappointed when we traveled a long distance only to find it closed on her birthday."

"Unfortunately the food and entertainment and overall experience was dampened by another table who had bought in their own professional photographer. We were all next to the table with flashing going off every other minute so half of our table actually ended up with our head in our hands and headaches. We did complain but couldnât be moved because it was busy which is understandable but found this unfair as the table shouldâve been situated in their own private area. Generous starters but I thought the portions for the main meal was a bit stingey."
"Yet again Café Rouge was appalling. We visited Windsor for a few days away and decided to have dinner at Café Rouge on our last night. The service was poor and the food we ordered was very poor value for money. The Duck Confit was mainly made up of potatoes, no sauce and not good value for money. My wife had beef bourguignon, it was mainly gravy with very little meat and some potato., again very poor value for money. The drinks were very expensive and the waiter took three attempts to get our bill right. Our local Café Rouge in Ruislip and also in Pinner closed down last year where we had a very similar poor experience of food and service. NEVER go to Café Rouge."

"excellent. excellent value for money with fast and friendly service, very cheap lunch packages for two courses) and especially extremely good food. portionings are very generously particularly popular are the crispy pork bell, bone cover, grilled cuddly and sea mussels. desserts are a little more hit and miss, so that holding on to start and netzen could be a better option. the menu changes slightly depending on the season and available ingredients, but some of the dishes stay in the course of the year it is sometimes very crowded, so book them in advance! highly recommended and my opinion after one of the best restaurants in london."

"Café Rouge at 52 Low Petergate not only offers delicious food but also boasts a beautiful street-front facade that shines brightly at night through its large windows. My man and I visited at different meal times and I opted for coffee and a snack while he enjoyed the hearty boeuf bourguignon, which was filled with tender meat and fresh beans. While there may be better boeuf bourguignon in higher-end restaurants, the price and ambiance at Café Rouge on Low Petergate cannot be beaten. Despite being part of a chain, this location has a unique charm that is easy to forget. Additionally, there is a charming and cozy dining room in the back. Café Rouge can be found at 52 Low Petergate, York, YO1 7HZ, and can be reached at 44 1904 673293."

"Staff were friendly and welcoming, and it’s always nice to be seated more spaciously at a table for if you are only in the party. Food came quickly and as described, and the main course lamb was truly excellent..tender, flavourful, and wellpresented. Liked the way of presenting a limited selection of desserts on a tray so you can see what you are getting. Would definitely return if nearby again"

"We visited the Six for the first time for our 2nd wedding anniversary. We heard fantastic things about this place so we decided to treat ourselves to somewhere special for our anniversary and this place did not disappoint! From the warm winter vibe we got walking in to the amazing service, the views and in particular the wine and food. We were eating from the winter set menu and it was amazing on all 3 courses. We were given superb service at our table and they were always back at our table topping our drinks up. As it was our anniversary they went the extra meal and gave us something extra for dessert which was a very nice touch and means you come away remembering excellent service and quality food. I would highly recommend this place to anyone thinking of trying somewhere different in the city, we will certainly be back! I imagine the views in the summer will be amazing!"

"I'm sad to write this but we didn't have a great lunch and had been so looking forward to it. My husband took me for my birthday. First off, the restaurant was freezing cold so not a nice environment. It was a cold day so we kinda forgave it. Ordered Oysters then each a starter and a main. My starter arrived along with the oysters so we thought that was odd but when my husbands starter didn't arrive it was clear they thought the oysters were his starter and had forgotten his actual one so a quick apology and he got it. Artichoke and anchovy salad, good god it was disgusting swimming in olive oil. I told him to return it but he was too polite and hungry by this point. The mains were just okay, I had pheasant which I understand is small but I did eat more plums and prunes than anything else. My husband had the pork which he said was, again, okay. Dessert was delicious shared a sticky toffee pudding. Our wine was also very good and the sommelier was excellent, shame the waiter didn't know about wine and tipped the rest of the bottle into my glass along with all the sediment. The bill was eye watering. Not a great experience, sadly won't be back and have already told people to save their money. Sorry!"
