"Great little restaurant. The menu is extensive and food is delicious. Cuisine is not Greek/Mediterranean as stated on this website, there are a wide range of tasty salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, main meals, desserts and breakfast options. They also serve great coffee, smoothies and their famous ice-blended freezacinos . The staff are friendly and helpful and the environment is child-friendly. I will definitely be returning!"

"we decided to visit the five arrows for lunch after we enjoyed an excellent afternoon, but we have remained disappointed. the foods were averaged for the total price compared to others operated in the region. the service was sometimes very slow. while we enjoy a cozy lunch, we felt the waiting time for teller between the main course and dessert to come out, and especially for the bill was exaggerated (the first question for the bill was forgotten, so we had to ask again what the entire waiting time was about 30 minutes.) contempt to details about dinge like after spuns with our coffee frame in asking and not going with a spoon. all those we were supposed to have preferred from the manager on the one hand. I believe they expect a certain standard to be met when they are dining here and unfortunately today it really is short for us. we also feel that all the things were considered and given the waiting times experienced that in this case the 10% service fee on a table for two was unfortunately not completely justified, but we paid regardless of that it came to an experience. it's a real shame when we waited a series of weeks to come for us and it just didn't fulfill our expectations."

"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."

"After receiving confirmation from OpenTable with the code 822102241, my wife and I arrived at the restaurant last night at 7:20. Despite our reservation, we were told we did not have a booking. After refusing to sit at a coffee table in the lounge, the manager was able to find us a table in the restaurant and offered us a complimentary drink to salvage the situation. However, our troubles did not end there. When we ordered the beef, we were not asked how we wanted it cooked and had to send it back because it was too rare. Our dessert took 30 minutes to arrive, prompting us to ask the staff if there was an issue. Finally, my wife had to ask for a glass of wine 15 minutes after initially requesting it. Despite some minor issues, we were still charged an additional 10% for the lackluster service. We have been patrons of this restaurant for over 20 years, both as a couple and in larger groups. However, after last night's experience, we are unlikely to return. In recent years, there have been new establishments in the area that offer comparable or even superior service. Last night's service at the restaurant was truly disappointing for what should have been a special occasion."

"We chose an afternoon booking and expected good service. How wrong we were. Several items we off the menu. We waited an hour and a half for our mains. The pasta dishes had almost no sauce and we had to ask for more for four...of the dishes. The bill was incorrect and when challenged the Manager was abrupt and intransigent when a suggestion was made to him as to how he might correct it. He stated that ‘if’ he did change the bill it would be ‘his’ decision, not ours, and would be a good will gesture on his behalf. Not good, not good at all. We expected more from this restaurant."

"We had gone for afternoon tea for our birthday and had stated that one of us was vegetarian and the other was pescatarian on our notes when placing the booking. We were greeted by the restaurant manager who referred to our booking and we mentioned again our requirements and she fully understood this. We sat down and was greeted by the waitress who was very pleasant and offered us the tea menu which was amazing, however when bringing out the sandwiches, both sandwiches appeared with meat on them. When we spotted this, she apologized and went back to the kitchen. We then had to wait another 20 minutes for the sandwiches to come out. The Pescatarian came first and had one tiny piece of rocket with the salmon, then the vegan sandwiches came out. All 4 sandwiches were cream cheese and cucumber. All 4! Considering this is a 5* hotel, this was ridiculous to pay £22.50 for 4 of the same simple sandwiches and on top of that, the bread was stale. We made another complaint about the bread and 20 minutes went by and we were given brand new sandwiches. The vegan sandwiches had changed with a selection of sandwich fillings that were much better, after approaching the waitress to explain it was ridiculous I was paying £22.50 for the same sandwiches I could make at home. The bread was still stale, but after 3 attempts of getting sandwiches we just gave up. The Manager of the restaurant was very sweet and her customer service was outstanding. She came over and apologised about the mix up, offered us some champagne or mocktails (we were over the whole experience and just wanted to leave), gave us her business card and said that the afternoon tea was on the house. The whole experience was dreadful, I would never recommend this place to anyone. It is a shame as the manager's customer service was really good, however the whole experience was just ruined."

"Love the simplicity of the menu. The food I've had here is great. I love the chicken sandwich and the house salad. The olives are wonderful for a starter. I have had the roasted chicken with leeks a few times and really enjoy the sauce. The wines are great here as well. Over all a simple, enjoyable food experience that made me come back twice in a week when I was last visiting London. The location is also fabulous."

"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 when I ordered. I ordered a sharing plate that consisted of a selection of cold meat, rillettes, brot and a baked camembert with caramelized wobbles. this was still on the menu in the restaurant and also on the cafe rouge website in the internet. what I was served were six sausages, garlic bread, hummus and a baked cader. it was nice, but I don't think it was worth the same price as the choice of cold meat, etc. I think the personal should have said that the menu would have changed if I had ordered and I had ordered something else. as usual the service was first class and all staff was very helpful and friendly."

"I've been to other branches of Itsu several times and this had by far the poorest selection across the board. The sushi in particular was limited to just salmon and vegetarian options. If the prices could make you think you were in a high quality restaurant, the atmosphere, cleanliness of the toilets (no soap) and food quality (which was fine but unspectacular) would soon bring you back down to earth. It wasn't bad, but the food quality and variety should be considerably better for what they charge."

"Been to this branch many many times over the last 5 10 years and this last visit was the worst. The manager in charge on that evening was actually almost annoyed with us for everything we bought to her attention. 5 adults and 2 kids sat down to eat around 4pm/430pm on a Tuesday evening, all of a sudden lights went down completely dark we asked them to put lights back up, after all its not valentines night, there are only 3 other tables which are a mixed group of friends and we would like to see what we are eating. Manager said welll my area manager told me we need to dim the lights to make it romantic and if they drive by and see its bright i will get in trouble!! have you ever heard of such nonsense!! We alerted her to the fact there are only 3 other tables and clearly none are having a romantic meal and we cannot eat like this, she said ok i will put it up but soon i will put it down again or i will get in trouble..... When the starters came, i was sharing the chicken liver pate with my father. He had a few mouthfuls and said to me take some, as i looked over to the plate i saw a huge black long hair mixed throughout the chutney that came with the pate. I almost threw up, i got up walked over to closest waitress and said we cannot eat this there is a huge hair in it look. No immediate apology and no visit from staff to ask what shall we do. We ordered another after some discussion on our table BUT without the chutney. To be honest if it was just myself and husband, kids we would have got up and left at that point but i didnt want to cause more upset to the already tense atmosphere in this restaurant. The meals came, then a few sweets for a couple of us. The bill is requested and arrives and i have already informed them of my 2for1 meerkat meals code which i have given them and that i want the bill to reflect the issue tonight. £3 off is what they gave us! I told the member of staff closes to us, i am not happy with this and almost insulted us by taking such a low amount. The manager lady comes over, is there a problem? yes what is it then???!!! I said yes, you gave us £3 off for that disgusting problem and its insulting,you are lucky we didnt leave. She said well i have to explain all these discounts to my area manager, i said all these discounts are not a 'gesture of goodwill ' this is what we are due based on our code and should not be part of what you are doing to deal with this situation. I told her i wish i took a photo of the hair before sending back and maybe the area manager would be happier!!! i told her its un fair, she took £10 off in total. We paid and left, with no tip either, something we never do. I have escalated this problem to head office today as their online feedback form is actually not working convenient timing) but the whole experience annoyed us. £115 we paid in total its not a huge amount but its the principle and they way the manager dealt with is, was very rude, insulting and unprofessional. She event went as far as saying 'the chutney comes ready made, we cant control what we find in it ' i said i couldn 't care less where it was made, that huge long hair is your problem. The rest of the staff i have to say were not rude."

"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."

"Just returned from having afternoon tea with my family at the Bath branch. To say it was disappointing is an understatement. The menu was suppose to include quiche, sausage roll and French bread with melted cheese and ham as the savoury. What arrived was 1 small bread stick ....no filling! 1 slice of quiche and 2 sausage rolls. There weren't 2 of all the cakes and 2 of these were dumped on the plate upside down. The only saving grace was that we didn't have to pay full price as we used the eat out, help out reduction .... however this hadn't been applied to our bill and we had to remind them. This was not the best experience for our first time eating out post lockdown....we certainly won't be going again."

"Shown to a table promptly, it was not set with any cutlery, serviettes etc. waitress wiped half of the table only. Ordered food and the starter of calamari arrived which was so small it was laughable. We Both ordered sirloin steaks and unfortunately my partners was 30% gristle. We highlighted this to the server who replied with ‘oh sorry about that’ . Asked for the bill and service was added and nothing taken off for the inedible steak. The restaurant is looking tired, dirty and need of an urgent refurb. The toilets weren’t great either. Overall a dreadful experience. I guess they get a lot of business due to its location right next to St Paul’s."

"Quality of food very mediocre. Hake, deep fried to a frazzle making it very dry and virtually inedible and a fish cake with no tartare sauce, as printed on the menu. This was not mentioned before the meal arrived. Substitute offered was mint sauce which with fish was not acceptable. Even with the voucher discount, we felt this meal was very poor value for money."

"A very traditional Cafe Rouge. Spacious and very friendly and helpful service. Unfortunately being Mother's Day, they were overrun as the meal went on, delays took place. I could hear lots of complaints from neighbouring tables but the waiter was literally run off his feet. He was suitably apologetic. The french onion soup was a treat but the medium rare steak was definitely over-cooked which was disappointing. Child-friendly a place you can waste a few hours happily I would go again"

"After I have eaten many of the restaurants stacked from late, I'm looking for the interesting when I have penetrated the menu. cafe rouge met my “off slopes” needs with exciting things like the plucked tortellini, sweet risotto and croquettes. it is a chain, yes, but with that in maidstone there is at least one guaranteed quality seal. service, indoor area, food preparation, teller presentation was error-free. they feel like something else and European, they go to the cafe rouge."
