    The food is good and good value, although the Café Rouge we visited in Oxford (Saturday lunch-time, not full), was rather chaotic and with the appearance of not being terribly well managed. We explained at the start we had a short time limit of an hour; the food was produced quickly, but when we asked for coffees they didn't come, although the bill with coffee included was produced quickly. We were told the coffee was just coming but it didn't (and the coffee machine area will filled with dirty cups and no-one around attending). We then asked for an adjusted bill and left. Not a major complaint but it could have been managed better.

    The Service was excellent the young man who looked after us is always excellent. Unfortunately the food and value for money doesn't come up to his standard!

    As usual our lunch at Cafe Rouge was thoroughly enjoyable: friendly and efficient staff, varied menu, and a very pleasant atmosphere.

    Lovely groupon offer of steak, frites and glass of wine. All good, we just had the steak and fries, so perhaps not enough for some people but enough for me and was my choice to not eat too much.

    As usually, we had a very nice evening in Cafe Rouge in Oxford. It was my husband's birthday, so we received a free bottle of Prosecco from the restaurant. The food was very good and the service, as usually very good, friendly, always with a smile.

    Foods ok. Service was cold. Only time we got a smile was when my friend said she didn’t enjoy her desert. Shame.

    We use Cafe Rouge from time to time and always enjoy the good quality food and gentle ambience. The service was rather slow on Sunday but food was good and staff friendly.
