Café Rouge - Bullring

I had a voucher for a Birthday bottle of Prosecco and as my sister and I meet here a few times a year, I booked the Bullring. I have eaten (and had a bottle of Bubbly) here quite a few times in the past.
Good was great and the waiter was attentive and friendly.
What is not to like ??

Great food - wrong environment for us. Was looking for a bistro cafe for a rare night out, got an cramped table with reduced seasonal menu. Maybe on another night it would have been a different experience.

Food was lovely , the restaurant was busy we waited nearly an hour for our main course and the fries were cold on both meals , my partner had the mussels and asked the server for some bread by the time this arrived he had eaten his meal , i do appreciate its very busy but the staff seemed to be running round chasing their tails - I do observe and find it quite odd that a member of staff was serving customers in a jacket/ coat which was quite off putting ,

Our experience at the above cafe was not good. The food was good but not warm, two had to go back to be warmed in the microwave. We arrived at the cafe for our booking early(which was 12.15) without one of our party who arrived at the right time but was sent by your staff to a different table which caused half a hour delay, one of us had to leave without having her meal it was finally it was over an hour before we got our main meal. We were not charged for her meal and also not charged for our drinks. We have always dined at Cafe Rouge but whether we will again remains to be seen.

Poor service

was very busy but the staff made us very welcome

Our steaks were really good but vegetarian choice was limited. Our pudding, Eton Mess, was very poor - just textured ice cream dumped in a dish. I did tell waiter after we paid but he didn’t seem too interested.

Lovely food, the offer we had was excellent. We did have to wait a while for a food, but the waiter Chris was very good, explaining there was a delay, ensuring we got some drinks in the meantime and keeping us updated.

We were greeted by the manager who showed us to our table for 2 which was nice and private as it was by the window.He explained that there was no garlic bread or burgers and said that he had seen my note saying we needed to be out by 7pm as we were going to the theatre. Our waiter was called Chris .He was very helpful polite and friendly. The meal came after about 20 mins. We had our favourite s minute steak for me and demi pocket for my husband . The food was cooked perfect and we enjoyed it. The bill came promptly and we were out before 7pm in time for the theatre .overall the food and service were excellent.

We ate from the autumn set menu. Excellent food at a great price!
