Café Rouge - Wellington Street

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

Lovely meal, good service, didn't have to wait very long for our meal to be served.

Good resturant example of a worthy chain, experience spoilt by overcrowding and bookings in excess of capacity. On arrival (on time with our booking), our family of four had to wait 10 minutes to be offered a table for three, 20 minutes longer to receive a drink and food on an hour from arrival. Staff friendly but over worked, food itself was very nice and new menu dishes an advantage.

Disappointed. When we arrived at the restaurant we were told our table was not ready (we had booked over a week in advance for a specific time) and they told us to go and come back in 20 mins. When we returned they prepared a table for us. We were given menus but told nothing of various dishes been unavailable now. So it was dissapointing when my first 2 choices were no longer available. Therefore I made my 3rd choice but noticed someone at another table enjoying what would have been my second choice, the muscles, perhaps if we had been seated at our chosen time......who can tell. Not what I was expecting for our meal out during a weekend away in London.

Table was not available although booked in advance. Staff kept us waiting for 15minutes and not told us when we asked. Very poor.

Arrived about 10 mins early no problem as there was 3 of us & sat at the same table we had on a previous occasion nice touch. Food was very enjoyable and good choice (we had the chicken).Well organised Staff considering how busy restaurant was.

Conveniently located near Covent Garden & several theatres. Nicely decorated, offering tasty food. I can recommend the Coq au Vin & Demi Poulet, deserts hard to choose finally decided on Elton Mess which was delicious!

Ordered the pulled beef burger, however they got the order incorrect and served the beef bourguignon. They were happy to swap it out for the burger. Unfortunately, the burger was soggy and bland at best. The salmon was okay, it was not fancy. The staff were very polite. We wend with the 50 percent off voucher and only found out this covered food at the end which was a little disappointing as it was not explicit in the fine print.

Nice food and they had our table ready on time, nice ambience. The light was a bit dim so being pensioners! we had to get our torches out to view the menu. All our food came together and in good time. The waiters were very pleasant also. Only criticism is we did not agree with the bill eg service charge, although optional it can confuse people; we did leave our own tip though and one of our party members got the bill sorted out in he end. Overall a nice experience.

They were ready for us, even though we were early and our party size had grown from 8 to 12
The food and service were excellent
