    Our starters were served with mouldy lettuce Mains were cold when served but were tasty Potato gratin was burnt to cinders and a replacement was brought once we had finished eating It took 45 minutes for our drinks to be served Service was terrible

    Booked a table with friends and family for a pre Christmas meal, everyone liked the food and the wine was reasonably priced as we pre booked beforehand. Good value for what we had and we would definitely go again. Nice for a group get together.

    We used our Tesco vouchers so was fine but sorry would hate to pay full quite high prices for standard and quantity of food. Staff and service good. Nice location for Christmas ice sculptures which is why we booked.

    We were in York with my Mother in Law who is 88, and we wanted a restaurant that would offer a wide choice. We've eaten at Cafe Rouge before and haven't been disappointed and we certainly weren't this time either. Friendly, welcoming staff (particuarly our waiter who my mother in law was very taken with), and tasty food promptly served. They were very busy and I'm glad we'd booked a table, but we didn't feel rushed in any way, and the staff managed to meet all the demands of a busy restaurant and still have time for a bit of banter. I've no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

    There was virtually nothing available on the menu. I was quite annoyed because I had booked it throuhg Opentable - and to be honest given they had no food left they should not have taken the booking at all. For a french restaurant they had no blue cheese, goats, cheese, camebert, steak or mussels! I cannot understant why they did not just go to a local supermarket for some ingredients! Everything tasted like it had been found at the back of the freezer which it probably had! They offered to serve a starter as a main after 3 choices were out of stock.... when it cam it was a starter portion. I left hungry! I used to really like Cafe Rouge.... would have rather gone without food than pay for this

    Busy evening, our booking wasn't seen by the restaurant, but they found a table for us. Staff friendly, food was excellent. Onion soup, well chargrilled and the desert of salted carmel frozen cream were amazing. A long wait for courses, but nice mulled wine kept us going.

    late booking so shouldn't have been surprised we were placed in what felt like a back room. No real ambience compared to main restaurant. Soup had to be returned as was cold, portions were decent size, not as good as previous meals had here, perhaps chef was having an off night
