"I recently had my first lunch at Sugar Boat, accompanied by two friends celebrating their wedding anniversary. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the owner, Will, who didn't seem very welcoming. However, the rest of our experience was delightful. We enjoyed a gorgeous lunch, and our server—a lovely young waitress—was incredibly attentive. The highlight was definitely the delicious bread and butter pudding for two; it was absolutely scrumptious! I believe this restaurant will be a great addition to the town, and I'm looking forward to returning."

"our breakfast was bad! my man ordered the filled banana-french toast. what he served was burned two halves, and very hard to chew French toast. a half of the toast had a small disc muddy pampered banane (so he did not end up eating part of the French toast to become sick) and another half of the French toast had no banana! my egg beedict was such a small part, half an English muffin and 2 small eggs. one was cooked and the other was runny (as should be an eier benedict.) I would like to point out, however, that the prices for the right prices for lidon, which are not acceptable to these Scottish foods. with two coffees, our bill was just over £30... a complete and total waste of money! the waitress had no idea of the food they served, we were shocked when our food arrived because it looked like we had ordered nothing. So we asked the staff if it was the right order, and they didn't know. So they took our food back to the kitchen and brought us the same food again. then another employee came to our table, looked at the food, asked for our food to take back to the kitchen and brought the same back to us! I don't want to say anything. avoid this restaurant."

"the family called tired and hungry. we ordered 3 lasagna and drinks. they were disgusting! 2 were burned and the other, while they were not burned disgusting! the excuse of the cook was oh, yours was frozen before he heated them. where did they get the cook? the manager (nice guy) said we should have been refunded, but never a refund spent! we have completed the customer form to give feedback and send herrn J.Hutson by email. we don't think it's really important to them! jd wetherspoon they have lost a customer who has visited their pubs several times, but will not visit one of their spatialities again."

"Owners need to sort this out. The review is regarding the deli only. I have visited multiple times for drinks and snacks on the go. The drinks are good. But my goodness the customer service is appalling. The staff there are so rude, they need training in customer service. Every time you go in, when you order you feel an inconvenience, they talk amongst themselves even when they are serving you especially when one is sat at the counter eating her lunch of breakfast. there is no eye contact. No friendly good morning or thank you. Just that’s £4.10. Really unprofessional. They don't even take care to remember your order. My partner goes in there multiple times a week and they never remember her order. She orders the same thing at least twice a week. No care or attention.say what you like about Costa and the likes but they remember your order. If it carries on I’ll avoid completely. Lots of other locals have said similar. Shame."

"I have been to Soyo several times over the years and have seen many changes in their menu. Currently, the food is excellent with a diverse menu, fresh flavors, and great service. However, the turnover rate is high, so the quality of service can vary. The yogurt and pasta dishes are very popular, and the breakfast options are delicious."

"dear diary, this time our trip to england was a mix of work and vacation. at many days we had to hurry for meeting in various cities and had to get the trains and because we are so punctual (not), we had hardly any time to eat before we arrived in the train. that is when we arrived at the railway station leon over leon and then realized that they have a chain of restaurants throughout the city. her motto is a healthy almost food and they live totally on it. for the breakfast menu, their bacon egg rolls are the most delicious! and for their daily menu they have a whole series of salads and hot crates. we had the chargrilled chicken chilli hot box, Moroccan meatballs hotbox and the chicken and chorizo club hotbox- all these were super delish! So if they are the next time on the go, they know where they are going!"

"Well what can I say, there were only two other couples total 4 people) in the café, both had been served a little while ago as they had finished their meals. Were were told when we came in find a table as we will be doing table service today. I scanned in NHS app, did the hand gel bit told to find a table. So far so good, sat down at table and waited and waited, and waited, one staff member fussing in the serving area, the waitress who showed us in eventually disappeared out the back we think to talk to her friend. We waited, and waited etc. etc. etc we even tried to get the attention of the waitress still fussing in the serving area really not doing much at all, and even she went out the back, we waited for a further period, even the other two couples kept looking, so after some time we simply walked out and went to a café that wanted our custom. We would not have minded if they were busy, but they were not. Absolute disgusting service (well if we had any). At a time where restaurants etc need the custom this Waterfront café obviously does not. We go to Portsmouth a lot, needless to say we will not be using the Waterfront Café ever again, we will also tell our family and friends to avoid."

"Impressed on first visit.. A friend and I, along with my 5 month old baby, just enjoyed a tasty lunch. Our first time at Cafe Tartine and I will definitely be back. The decor, staff and food all get top marks from me. I had a chicken breast burger (not the most French dish on menu but what I fancied) and it was delicious. My friend really enjoyed her veggie burger too. We had a coffee afterwards, best coffee I've had in ages, but will make the crepes a must have next time. We chose to sit in the light bright conservatory which provided ample space for my pushchair and a nice comfy sofa to prop child up on while we munched away. The baby changing facilities were spot on and included a unit...read more"

"A very bad experience. The starter on the mixed menu wasn't avalible which I can understand but should have been seen as for warning. I got a mocktini as usually they are quite nice at other places however at this restaurant they were almost completely soda. My steak was not edable. I swallowed one bite with difficulty and had to spit out the other two attempts into a napkin. I did not attempt the others. The chips were quite obviously frozen and very much like the ones from a supermarket. When my plate was taken no comment and question was made at the rather dismal state of my plate. I will say this, the mango sorbet was delicious. It was only during my desert I was able to comment on the steak frites and while I was given a small discount on that I plate, I felt that either the whole price of the dishl should have been comped or a new one should have been offered. At this point I was rather done with the restaurant and wanted to leave only to see the service charge of 3.90 and an additional charge of tap water (that I hadn't even asked for). Definatley would not reccomend as while the staff themselves were nice enough, the food was truly terrible."

"We were a group of 12 and this was one of the few places that could accommodate us and reserved our table as well. Staff were very polite, professional, well mannered and not pushy in trying to get us to order more than we needed. Food was made quickly, presented well, was hot and tasted delicious too. The lighting is a bit dim, but sufficient for the atmosphere I believe. Staff were also considerate and ensured all sauces, plates, cutlery etc were on the table before the food and they got a few extra plates for us as we had said that we would be sharing some of the dishes. Overall really impressed. Also, the toilet was clean and well maintained. I really loved the table as it looked like it was made from the truck of a tree! Keep up the good work."

"we were very excited to try this new place that seemed so inviting from the road, they sat us immediately and we were one of only a few parties there. but because we were some of the only people in the restaurant, we got our first round of drinks not up to halfway through our main course (after a full round of appetizers) and we were not even offered water in the meantime and I could not get anyone the attention to ask for it. because we have so few people in the restaurant, we were clearly ignored for the great Christmas party that we could hear in the ground floor room that had sent tablet by drinks to them before our three cocktails arrived after minutes. When they finally arrived, the drinks were very good, but they don't wait. the food was usually delicious, the bisque caabe appetizer and croquettes were great, and for the pornstar we all had the plate of the day, a slowly baked bark dish that was delicious. everything was good again until dessert when the cream robe we were served, oil was pooled into the floor and seemed to separate, I tried to eat it, but it was really not edible. Overall, it was a very disappointing night, and it should be a graduation party that I mentioned in our reservation and was not mentioned or recognized at all. we will probably not return."

"eating was not as good as I would have hoped. the crab starter was bland and would have hit from the uptake of some brown cocks. the bouillabaisse was not as good as we at the caffe rouge. the content was ok, but the taste was missing. the last cure was good. it is a shame that no typical English beer is on stock, as many are available (i.e. tanglefoot from dachs, abbot aus green könig and london pride von fullers. and have an extended durability). the service was very good and the staff helpful. I have a personal dislike against paper napkins."

"My wife and I had a very nice lunch on Saturday, but I was not served what I ordered. The menu had changed recently and I was not advised of this when I ordered. I ordered a sharing platter which consisted of a selection of cold meats, rillettes, bread and a baked camembert with caramelised onions. This was still on the menu in the restaurant and also on the Cafe Rouge web site on the Internet. What I was served was six sausages, garlic bread, hummus and a baked camembert. It was nice but I do not think it was worth the same price as the selection of cold meats etc. I think the staff should have said the menu had changed when I ordered and I would have ordered something different. As usual the service was first class and all the staff very helpful and friendly."

"I took my mother here for lunch as a pick me up after a terrible morning.Firstly we were ignored at the door so sat down and waited to be approached.The waiter was very short with us as if we were inconveniencing them by wanting to order.We got the Chicken Baguette as it used to be a favourite of ours when we used to come here occasionally. When it arrived the chips were cold and there was hardly any chicken in the baguette. I have never complained in a restaurant before but given their rude demeanour and now insulting portion for a hefty £12 you would expect at to have more than a crusty roll dumped on your table.The waiter was outraged that we dared to ask for the chips to be hot and the baguette to be full and got even ruder. The manager came over and was then equally condescending as if we were trying to get a free meal! It was such a horrible experience that we paid and left as quickly as possible. The manager didn’t want a bad review so she scribbled out on our receipt that we could come back for a free dish next time but after that we would never go back. They clearly invest their time in their regulars who given its Hampstead location are good tippers. Such a shame after going here for so many years.My sister did however return a few weeks ago with the voucher I had as I didn’t want to go back and she said that the service was fine and had no problems. She was lucky to get a friendly waitress and a smooth visit."

"I have been going to this branch for many many years and have even written some great reviews for them over the years. However, this time after my last 3 visits I have to say it has NEVER BEEN THIS BAD! We went Boxing Day with our family who didn't want to go there in the first place. They were understaffed (only 1 waitress), despite other managers etc. being present at the same time and who could have helped her but chose to just ignore our complaints. Firstly we ordered and after a few of the starters had already arrived, the waitress came and told us they didn't have fish fingers for the children, if we knew this in advance we probably would have gone somewhere else. She then said they had run out of the fish cakes too. She seemed a little confused so we went and spoke to other staff (after 10mins) they then claimed they do have the fish cakes but still no fish fingers, then asked if I want to change back to the fish cakes or still want the alternative I ordered as I was told they didn't have fish cakes. I had to shout across the restaurant as no one bothered to come back to the table yes the fish cakes. When the order finally arrived, I received the alternative order and NO fish cakes. The waitress saw and apologised and took the burger back to the kitchen, they then sent out 1 fishcake on a small plate with boiled potatoes and some green beans (which is not how it was served a week prior) it looked awful and very un appetising so I asked to have the alternative which they had just taken to the kitchen. It came and it was burnt. All in all it took an hour for the food to arrive, which was mostly wrong and we had lots of items missing and burnt food. During all of this the waitress kept apologising profoundly while all the men (manager and kitchen staff kept staring over at us and seemed to have a go at her everytime she went to the back of the restaurant) When the bill finally arrived it was all wrong and at this point I totally lost it. One of the staff sitting at the back then got into a verbal argument with my husband while he was doing a stock check. I asked his name but the waitress refused to give this. I have never experienced anything like this and hope Cafe Rouge realises their staff DO NOT WANT TO WORK ON BOXING DAY! and gave the worst food with the worst service"

"Service was very slow, only two people serving (one of them remained behind bar). Eventually got drinks order took after 10 minutes then another 10 minutes for delivery to table. Waitress was not writing down orders so forgetting things. Not sure why they do that, customers want orders written down!! When asked if I wanted my minute steak cooked pink or well done I asked for pink. Didn't realise pink meant RAW! Would have asked for medium had I had known, but wasn’t given the option. Didn't say anything as waitress was clearly overwhelmed as it was. Steak was supposed to come with rocket but was only given 4 or 5 leaves as a pathetic garnish at best. Picture attached. Whole restaurant felt rundown and in desperate need of a makeover, feels like Cafe Rouge is on its last legs, going downhill very fast, disappointing and sad. I’ll be very surprised if it’s still open this time next year."

"Pre booked a table of 4. On arrival the welcoming was non existent and the waiter half heartily pointed to an area to sit. Ordered our food and drink. The waiter misunderstood one of the drinks which is fine because it was swiftly corrected but at the end we were charged for the unwanted item that then had to be corrected. What became clear the place is badly managed. One of our guests wanted to sit comfortably on the chair without one of the fake furry rugs hanging over it. When asked what to do with it the guy hanging behind the bar using his laptop could barely have the effort to verbally assist. This was the second red flag during our visit. Whilst waiting for our food we noticed a line of staff admiring the food under the heat lamps. It appeared to look like our dishes. 10mins later the food remained unattended under the lamps no staff to be found. I decided to speak to the manager. I simply asked if the dishes were for our table because they had been waiting for a vast amount of time. After a few pressing buttons on the touch screen the manager admitted they were in deed for our table. The food was delivered however my fish batter was soggy probably from absorbing the moisture from the fish. I raised a complaint with the manager who swiftly took the plate away and within 3 5mins returned what appeared to have been the same piece of battered fish only refried and a darker toned batter. The fish now was dry, mushy peas cold and the chips warmish and hard. It appears there was little time to drain the oil from the fry as you’ll see in the photo. I was extremely disappointed and embarrassed because I had suggested booking this restaurant for the meal. In comparison to previous visits over the years this place has rapidly gone downhill. No excuse the inside was practically empty and half capacity outside with plenty of staff at hand with the exception of the guy doing his business on the laptop close to the customers table. With so much competition and high standards in the hospitality sector base on todays experience I will never use a Drake and Morgan venue for business or private. You can cheat on me once."

"We've been big fans of Cafe Rouge, Bath since it opened, and have always appreciated its lively atmosphere and friendly staff. Obviously it's not haute, haute cuisine but good, French style food without too many frills. Today we booked a table for two, as our kids had given us a voucher at Christmas and we thought a Saturday night treat was in order. We expected the place to be busy, but it wasn't; and we noticed customers being turned away even though it was early (before 8.00pm) apparently because of staff shortages. The staff were pleasant (as usual) but service was not particularly prompt. My partner's food was good quality (prawns for starters with moule for mains) but my French onion soup probably spent the day in a pot, and my sirloin steak (rare) was overly gristly, so I had to leave a sizeable amount. It almost feels disloyal to say this but we will think twice about returning. I hope the staffing shortages improve, and we return to the Cafe Rouge, Bath we once enjoyed."
