"This was the worst afternoon tea experience I have ever had. There was a lack of friendly welcome, mediocre service, and no manager in sight. Despite pre-booking and requesting the afternoon tea menu, we were told to sit anywhere upon arrival. The wrong menus were initially given to us, but this was quickly corrected. While the tea arrived promptly, the food took a long time to come out. The mini baguettes were disappointing - they consisted of a thin slice of ham and a rocket leaf, and the brie ones were the same. After taking a bite, it was clear that they were dry, chewy, and not enjoyable at all. When we requested some mayo, chutney, or mustard to make them more edible, the only action taken was drizzling olive oil over them, which was not what we had asked for. Frustrated, we asked for our food to be taken back and decided to order from the main menu instead. Despite being told that the manager would come to see us, we waited for 50 minutes without any food or manager in sight, while other tables who arrived after us were already enjoying their meals. Disappointed with the service, we eventually left without eating. It was a truly terrible experience and we will not be returning. Thank you for ruining what should have been a pleasant afternoon with a friend. It was a waste of time and money. Shame on you, Cafe Rouge!"

"Despite living in Ruislip forever we only discovered this little gem at the start of 2022 now a regular haunt. Kathy Frank have developed a loyal regular clientele which speaks volumes in this day age . A lovely independent bijou cafe great for breakfast/brunch/lunch or a quick tea stop. A full and comprehensive menu plus daily specials, all reasonably priced cooked fresh to order always a warm welcome great humour from them both. In summer you can sit outside watch the world go by. Kathy Frank do all they can to locally source their produce ensuring it is all high quality, nothing precooked reheated here. Great milkshakes, iced coffees and hot chocolate Very definitely worth a visit great food and customer service from an independent "

"We booked a table at cafe rouge as we had tickets for the theatre nearby. We go to cafe rouge on a regular basis and this was our worst experience by far. The venue itself was nice, lots of glass windows and the usual cafe rouge decor. We ordered bread and olives to start, which were great, but we had issues with the main and pudding courses. We had both ordered steaks to be cooked medium, but when they arrived one was perfect and the other was very well done. They replaced it without a fuss however my partner had finished her meal before my replacement arrived. The replacement was good, but there was no reflection in the bill that we had come out for a meal together and ended up eating alone. We ordered pudding, creme brûlée and chocolate fondant. The chocolate fondant was nothing special, a little dry, but the creme brûlée was awful. The crunchy top had not been made by putting on sugar and then caramelising it; instead they had made caramel in a pan and poured it on. This made it very thick and hard to eat and rather unenjoyable. The service was okay, but we felt the manager was rather inappropriately dressed in a short skirt and sparkly trainers!"

"This venue has got to be the most iconic Cafe Rouge in their portfolio. Beautiful art deco building a joy to sit in. Great food. Visited 22 August 22 lunch and we enjoyed good, hot tasty, well presented, reasonably priced meals. Our waiter Mario was fantastic. The best mix of attentiveness but not overpoweringly sycophantic. Happy, pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. Took a pride in his work which can be a challenge to find nowadays. Well done and thank you both Cafe Rouge and Mario!"
"it was Valentine's Day! needed somewhere locally and for a fast, comfortable meal. to our surprise a musician had been set for the evening and this improved the ambiente so much that we wanted to take our time over the culinary experience. Nevertheless, the employees were too excited to postpone the delivery of the courses and it would have helped them to return a little. the set menu was a real bonus and the selection of food tasted amazing. I'll go back to see you sometime."

"cafe rogue. the cafe rouge, so they know what they expect. However, this particular industry has such courtesy employees especially with children who really went beyond and beyond to help us keep the children entertaining what was beautiful. eating was good and cheap, we were even recommended to go through the staff for a less expensive steak option, refreshing after we alredy given our order. for a chain they expect consistency in the thema food, but the personal made this special a much more pleasant to visit."

"Decided to try here as we were stopping at the Holiday Inn Express. Was surprised to see such a big bar area and a bit disappointed that there were numerous TV screens placed around it all showing football. Whilst this isn't advertised as a Sports Bar , it clearly is which means our table conversation had to compete with the TVs and the cheering guests at times. Surprisingly, the restaurant wasn't very busy and our orders were taken quickly and efficiently by very friendly staff. None of us were disappointed with our food but neither was anyone over the moon; it was just alright. There is an interesting selection of food on offer with a bias towards spicy and the katsu curry seemed a popular choice. We were a bit taken aback by the 10% service charge even though it was discretionary so beware. The staff were very polite and attentive but this may be because they weren't very busy so we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Overall, this was not an unpleasant experience but I doubt we'll be returning."

"I am very happy with the food I had for the first time at nr. 35 mackenzie walk. it looked very good and tasted even better. I was not too sharp on the sausages in the house breakfast, but everything else was delicious and cooked for perfection. beautiful setting, both inside and outside, but we felt that the staff was a little distracted. maybe a stressful Sunday? service was fast, although the restaurant was quite empty. the prices were a little high £13 for eggs royal in a casual room seemed like much, but we had a nice time anyway. all in all, recommended. go back."

"The service was poor and extremely slow. The food was overcooked and the salad was dry. Overall, it was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. I will not be returning."

"I enjoyed both the breakfast and the birthday lunch that I had recently that I wrote straight to Trip Advisor to recommend Cafe Rouge in Bury St Edmunds. The food was not 'run of the mill ' but was well cooked with imaginative touches and just the right amount. My friend and I chose three different items on the menu and we were both delighted and our waitress was charming and helpful. Your booking system is so easy and I had the opportunity to ask to sit in a side room as I can hear better. When we arrived we were automatically shown to a table where I had asked without any fuss. It was a thoroughly good experience which I shall repeat."

"only an occasional Saturday evening, but we were warmly welcomed. service was excellent and eating tasty and as described. we enjoyed our cocktails and felt not rushed when eating came at reasonable intervals. recommend this restaurant. it is also really nice to be able to use Tesco points, not the feeling that we have paid on the drinks when eating with goods and it was so easy to organize."

"booked online, had confirmation email, but when we arrived, it was not booked. no probs have a table. I ordered a chicken flour that I would press as a breast, but actually was on the bone - my fault not to check. a piece was in order, the other piece was so hard I couldn't get it out of the bone. I ordered eaton mess for desert that was in the grunde a court of yogurt with pieces of meringue in it. the service was good, the poor food."

"I give neros 5 stars because I think it is the best of the great national chains (I would dieucks next door and costa last. retail) I blow this mainly on the standard and the variety of food, not on the coffee (as I am not a big coffeemaker park.) which I am going to keep seems quite clean (in contrast to some of their competitive dog I have allowed the update: That's brilliant! I know some people are nervous about dogs, but I have never been a dog in a caffe, pub or restaurant bad behavior. they stay quiet with their owners."

"We used to frequent this restaurant often because of the great food and kid-friendly atmosphere, with quick and friendly staff making it a good value. However, our recent experience on Mother's Day was disappointing. When my wife arrived slightly before me, the manager watched her struggle with a pram and did not offer to help. Additionally, half of the menu items were already sold out by noon. When the food did arrive, my wife's medium steak was overcooked and solid. The server did not address her concerns, and the service was slow overall. We were also overcharged, which I thankfully noticed before paying. It is disappointing to see the decline in the quality of the restaurant, likely due to a change in management. Our experience left us feeling ripped off and put a damper on our special occasion. Unfortunately, we do not plan to return to this restaurant."
"Sadly quite disappointing. We booked here for our work Christmas meal, only a small party and even pre-ordered hoping it would make it alot easier. There was confusion where we were sitting so we had to change tables but only after we saw our name tags on another table not by the staff. We waited 25 mins to be asked for drinks and an hour for the starters which were only for 2 of the party anyway. This meant for most of us we waited an hour and 20 mins before our main dinner arrived. We entertained ourselves as we after the first order of drinks came we never saw any member of staff til the starters. There were 2 larger tables, 1 not pre ordered, who received their whole meal before we had our deserts who seemed to have staff quite attentive to them which made us feel even worse. The food was delicious and I would give it 5/5 but for your whole party to feel starving and alittle deflated made our work evening out quite miserable. When we asked member of staff how long til our mains, we just replied with they're very busy and that was it. We felt like we were getting told off and felt uncomfortable to approach them again. Even when paying at the end we waited 15 minutes as they kept rushing in and out to clear just 2 tables that were left upstairs, no other customers, we just felt abandoned the entire time. I even got marched back into the restaurant after being told we had not paid enough. To clear we did, we just left a smaller tip then what was on our reciept but the embarrassment was humiliating."

"Pleasant staff, tasty food but so slow. Table booked and arrived at order taken with hardly anyone in the restaurant; first course arrived and although very tasty the mushroom vol au vent had been microwaved and gone cold with soggy pastry. Main courses, after reminding waiter, arrived at with an apology. We were due at theatre at so no dessert! House wine very pleasant and set menu meal good value."

"We had a brilliant 40% off main course voucher which made the meal very reasonably priced. Unfortunately we booked our table at Cheshire Oaks when the Christmas Lights were turned on and Radio City had a band and disco on. Café Rouge did not have enough staff to cope with demand leaving us waiting a while for our starter, main course and drinks. Could not fault the staff. The did their best and remained cheerful but were just overwhelmed by the amount of people wanting feeding. Would go again but plan the time a bit better."

"Celebrated my birthday with family, food was nice but expensive for what you got. They had ran out of the wine we wanted, which was a shame as we'd booked for 5pm so it wasn't like it was late at night. Service was ok but we had to ask every time we wanted something, no one came to us to order drinks etc. The bill was £20 overcharged for things we hadn't had. Wouldn't rush back to be honest again which is a shame as the restaurant looks so lovely and we had been really looking forward to it."

"Cafe Rouge is a classic and welcoming restaurant with plenty of space and friendly service. However, on Mother's Day, it was extremely busy and there were some delays in serving. Despite some complaints from other tables, the waiter worked hard and was apologetic. The French onion soup was delicious, but the medium rare steak was overcooked, which was a letdown. This restaurant is child-friendly and a great place to spend a few hours, despite the mishaps. I would definitely visit again."
