Café Rouge - Wellington Street

Very nice meal staff were excellent after my friend confused them with her order they handled it beautifully. My hake was very good lovely batter and chips. Creme brûlée was excellent

Restaurant was busy as one would expect for a Covent Garden restaurant but to have run out of cheeseboard by 6.00pm was not good. How many other diners were disappointed by the time they closed? The staff were welcoming and efficient and the service was good and up to the usual Café Rouge standard.

All good

Very busy as Trump demo had just ended. Food was disappointing but we just needed a pre theatre refuel. I had booked a special Bookatable deal which never materialised and we ended up choosing from the main menu. The tuna was over cooked to the point of being beyond chewy but the salad was nice as was the steak and chips. It was fast food on the run and fine under the circumstances. Nice staff.

I waited 20mins between my starter and the main course, apparently the waitress forgot about my dinner. When I questioned her why the table after me already had their steak but I'm still waiting, she brought up a plate for me. I ordered steak with salad but she gave me steak with chips, I told her it's not my order, the funny thing is, she then said, you can try this and I will bring you salad. Totally mess.
Food is average.

Disappointing- starters unavailable: prawns; sharing board-anything with bread. We had telephoned restaurant to amend booking from 4 to 5 and front of house were unaware which was embarrassing for me and my guests. Starters did not arrive together. Waiters were doing their best; drinks were promptly served.

Started off with the crab tion which was very tasty with two sourdough slices. Continued with the beef bourgogne an old Cafe Rouge favourite. This was much better than in some Cafe restaurants. The beef melted in the mouth the sauce was exceptionally good. Mashed potatoes nice and light went very well with the rest. No room for dessert.

I went for a pre theatre meal straight from work. The restaurant was very busy but the staff looked sfter me and ensured I made the theatre on time. The presentation of the food could have been better but what I ate was good. I had the beetroot tartain followed by the steak frites. It was a good deal with a glass of prosecco. I think they could do with some more staff as the waiters were very busy.

We went for the set menu but found our first choices were not available, no mention was made when we were given the menus. Second choices were ok. Service was good.

Had a lovely evening. Good good & staff very pleasant.
