"Thank you Lutyens for another excellent lunch. My sister who joined me as my guest had a broken foot and the manager and staff were most accommodating in finding a box to stand it on so it was raised. The Dover sole is always very good but as a beer drinker could they stock Birra Moretti as well as Peroni as the former is much nicer and it's what the Italians drink!"

"We had the Kitchen Table at Maze and it was truly one of the most memorable dining experiences ever and we have been to many top-end restaurants in the major cities all over the world. The service was extremely attentive and impeccable. The food was creative and so delicious and the courses kept coming and coming. We even got to prepare our own second dessert with the pastry chef. All of the chefs came to the table and introduced their dishes. Being in the kitchen gave us the unique vantage point as how efficient and hard a successful kitchen works. I did learn that the UK Service Charge applied did not go to the staff so be prepared to provide cash gratuities to the waiter and wine steward. This dining experience is a must for foodies!!!"

"This restaurant is a hidden gem in a remote location. The decor and atmosphere are charming, and the menu is enticing. The only downside was that one of us ordered the chicken dish, which was small and not very satisfying despite being one of the most expensive items on the menu. On a positive note, the bread and butter pudding was absolutely delicious!"

"I had a fantastic experience at Ricci's. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars for ambiance is because it was quite cold inside. Many customers had to keep their coats on, which was a bit disappointing. It was one of the coldest nights of the year, and I think they should have turned up the heating. Despite that, I still plan on returning because the food at Ricci's (and Ricci's Tapas) is the best in the area."

"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."

"This was my second visit to the restaurant and overall, the dining experience was good as we enjoy the teppanyaki style of cooking. The service was attentive and the chef was very pleasant, showcasing his skills and cooking abilities well. The only issue was that the crispy garlic dish was served cold instead of being cooked on the grill, and it was also pricey. The biggest disappointment was that there was no sushi or sashimi service available on Sunday night, which was not mentioned on the website when I made my reservation online. Despite these setbacks, we still had a pleasant evening and enjoyed the meal. Although a bit expensive, it is expected in London."

"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."

"The only complaint I have is that everything felt a bit worn out and not take care of. The menus were falling apart. The floor was sticky. The decor also felt a little off. Just looks like the person who owns it doesn’t really care all that much for it. But the chef we had was charming and the food was good. My kids loved it and I haven’t had tepanyaki in years. Overall a pleasant experience, just don’t walk in with high expectations."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I haven't visited Café Rouge in many years. It was a good restaurant back then, quite a vibrant upbeat place to be. As time passes, most restaurants become tired and the food dull or badly cooked, the staff uninspired to be there and I'm happy to say this wasn't the case for Café Rouge for our visit today. Firstly, the premises were clean and well kept. You couldn't see any dust settled on the bottle display, which is a good sign. We ordered salmon with seasonal greens and Anna potatoes which came with a little pot of hot hollandaise sauce. I must say, this was cooked to perfection. I've eaten at the Dorchester and haven't had a meal which tasted as good as this. Lastly, the waitress we had was outstanding. She coped brilliantly with a huge amount of customers and still managed to come back and ask how our meal was. If someone could run the country as well as the service she gave to customers, we would soon be a great empire again. I didn't catch her name, I think she's Scottish. She's great and the reason we will be going back again. Absolutely fantastic experience, well done all."

"We often go here for lunch when we are in Cardiff, but I don't think it's such good value anymore . The service was good as it should be when it's only got about 10 tables with people on. I didn't want much so had a salmon pate starter and some sweet potato chips,it was very nice husband had Beef with potatoe could of been better with a few vegetables and a tiny slice of apple tart. Both had drinks a lime and soda and small bottle of water. Bill was £44 for what was really only a three course meal ."
