"For a premium brand like Cafe Rouge to allow their standards to fall to this level is very sad. The staff at this particular branch are untrained, non-attentive and rude. We were moved twice before we finally found a table that we were satisfied with, the others being practically in the bathrooms or by the (wide-open) front door on a cold October evening. This when there was hardly anyone else in the restaurant. The food, when it arrived, was sloppily served and presented poorly. My wife's steak was inedible. The wine was dumped, unopened on the table. We sorted ourselves out. Dinner for four, with two bottles of wine, was a rather pricey 180 quid. It slipped our notice that 15% had been added to the bill for service. Criminal. Honestly, there are so many alternatives in the area do yourself a favour and give these wide berth. I'll never go to cafe Rouge again."

"We were served efficiently despite it being very busy. I told our waiter we had to catch a train and he was very polite, friendly and efficient. When the toilet roll had run out in the toilets as soon as we mentioned it it was sorted. Portions on the slightly small side I felt and I had to ask for more veg for the children but other than than was a nice experience."

"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."

"the place serves well cooked and delicious food. the atmosphere and the decoration are all full of French motives and the garden is an amazing place to eat on a beautiful sunny day. the staff is helpful and the food didn't take long to get out. I recommend going with someone and order a set menu so that they can try different starters, main courses and desserts. good experience!"

"We received a very friendly greeting and the staff kept us informed until we were seated. The menu had a great variety of options and there were plenty of cats around, but not too many to overwhelm our young guest who was nervous at first. There was no smell of cats and they were very entertaining to watch. The restaurant is brightly decorated, with an interesting and unique vibe. I would highly recommend it."

"Generally I love Cafe rouge and we went in to celebrate adopting our children. We had somewhere to go onto and had left an hour and a half for food. The restaurant was really empty but service was so slow that our children did not have time for dessert before we had to leave (this was part of their menu). I oredered the four cheese pancakes. They were obviously pre made and had been microwaved/ baked to within an inch of their lives. They came in a little pot and were both dry and stodgy at the same time. They also came with a tiny tiny salad in a little bowl. No dog cam let ask if we were ok or if our food was ok and overall it was really really disappointing."

"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!"

"Thank you so much to El Mariachi Restaurant for a fantastic evening. The party meal we had there was excellent, as they went above and beyond to cater to our requests, even though I was quite particular about certain things. I want to extend my gratitude to everyone who played a part in ensuring that my partner's 50th birthday celebration was one of his most memorable nights. The guests all enjoyed the food and were impressed with the delicious dishes served. We are looking forward to returning in the future."

"Food was not fresh, lumpy couscous, cold and stodgy potatoes. Nothing like the original cafe rouge, did not represent value for money. Far too expensive for what it was. We would not go there again. A clearly struggling chain with a tiny menu ... strangely enough little was actually French cuisine. Sorry for bad review but that was disappointing and I would really like my money back."

"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."
"This place is Awful and has not trained the bouncers at the door how to greet the customers because of whom probably they are getting their salaries from.I and my friends visited this place last night , we forgot our ids so we went home and got the Ids and when went inside.While going inside my friend guy friend was carrying a man bag was told that he’s not allowed to get the bag inside when we asked him for a reason for the same he didn’t answer any thing but at the same time I was allowed with my lady bag in there.We offered him if he can check his bag and allow him inside then but he insisted us to go back hide your man bag inside and then you can enter which is so disrespectful and bad.Then we went inside enjoyed our selves so by the end of time we were leaving the same bouncer who let us in started abusing and assaulting us when we said don’t touch he said “I’ll show you what I can do and even touch you”.He pushed me badly and grabbed my friend’s arm and dragged him out of the club.This incident has shocked me from inside out that what kind of Racist and sexist behaviour is this.For the first time in my life I have seen such heartless behaviour inside a club this is not even human.If a women can get a purse that’s allowed and man cannot isn’t this unfair and sexiest ?? We group of people spent almost 300 pounds in this club and this club gave us a very hard time, forget the service they can’t even match the basic standards on even humanitarian grounds or any place if compared.People who wants to have a good quality time “PLEASE AVOID Going to this bar as this is beyond the expectations of insults and sexism and racism you’ll face in your entire life”.I would never visit this place again and never recommend to my friends."

"Myself and my Husband visited Cafe Rouge, The Mail Box on Saturday 10th September for my Husband's birthday meal.As Always we enjoy the experience very much,as we alway's do. Very friendly attentive staff,and a good choice of food on the menus.Plus because they are one of the group of retaurant's where you can use your Tesco's Club Card Voucher's a meal that should have cost 73.15 cost 33.15! I would recommend this particular Cafe Rouge to anyone!"

"I was very disappointed with my experience at Cafe Rouge in Victoria. As a regular customer of the franchise, I chose this branch as a central meeting place for a group of friends. However, we were unhappy with the cold atmosphere, noisy environment, and lack of service. We waited over an hour for our food without any apology from the staff. I believe it would be best to shut down this branch, as it reflects poorly on the reputation of the other restaurants in the chain."

"The musical duo at the restaurant was very talented, but the volume was a bit too loud. We found ourselves having to speak loudly to hear each other at times. However, as the evening went on, it became easier to hear, so we may have just gotten used to it. The food selection was great and everything we ordered was delicious. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dining experience."

"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!"

"We were disappointed by the service at our experience. We were celebrating a special occasion for my daughter’s birthday and we confirmed with the hostess numerous times. It would’ve been nice if the front of house communicated that with our server. Also as soon as our entrees were delivered, that was the last time we saw our server for the evening and a runner handled our table for the remainder of the evening. For high quality elevated dining at a top price point, there were several occasions where Savoy Grill dropped the ball in our opinions."

"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!"
"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."

"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."
