    We had an enjoyable meal.. I was however upset that I couldnt use a 25% off voucher which I had been given at a previous meal at Cafe Rouge in Newcastle... I actually only came for the reason of using that voucher so it left a bad feeling which was stupid really becuase I now I will not be in such a rush to return when I would have been keen to return had the discount been allowed as there were no ther complaints. I feel its very short sighted and the resturant would be better not giving out voucers at all as it can - as in this case - have a totally negative effect. They told me I could come back and use it at another time, I ripped it up and left it on the table!

    We used to eat here a lot - great food, good for kids (quick and friendly staff) and therefore good value. We went recently for mother’s day. My wife got there slightly before me and the manager just watched my wife struggle to get a pram through the door and didn’t come over to help. When we came to order, we were told that half the menu items were sold out. At 12. When the food did come, the fillet steak my wife ordered medium was cremated and cooked solid. When she mentioned this to the server, she just shrugged. Service was also generally slow and had to be encouraged along. To finish things off, we were over charged which I luckily spotted on the bill before paying! It’s really sad to see how the place has declined, presumably under a change in management as it was both front of house as well as kitchen at fault. All in, we felt ripped off and it really put a dampener on a special occasion, when we don’t get to eat out much. Needless to say, we won’t be going back.

    We booked a table for 3 people and only 2 of us were present when we first got to the restaurant. The waiter checked our reservation and then took us to a table for 2 people. Not a good start. The tables were so close to each other it didn't feel private and we felt shoehorned into a space. The restaurant was busy and noisey and it was difficult to hear conversation as a result. The food was delicious but it seemed rather expensive for the portions given. This meal was for a special occasion and we left rather disappointed.

    Lovely meal at Cafe Rouge Cheltenham. Loved the French Onion soup and Duck and my date really enjoyed her meal too. Good service and at a reasonable price.

    Nice food but very pricey. Service started out well but once the waitress for our table left no-one seemed to want to take over! It wouldn't be my choice of restaurant but having been given a gift voucher, I didn't want to waste it.

    I was very disappointed with my meal last Saturday lunchtime. I usually order boeuf bourginone and meat lovely tender and lean. This time there was an awful lot of fat which was very off putting and spoilt my meal. I mentioned this to our waitress at the time who didn't appear bothered at all that we were not happy. Will be a while before I visit the cheltenham branch again.

    Our first visit to Café Rouge for a while, taking advantage of the free bottle of Prosecco on my birthday. A most enjoyable lunch: food, cooking and service of high quality. No fault to find at all.
