At the center of Berkeley's thriving Fourth Street area, this spot offers rousing, pan-European dishes that deliver clever flavor combinations. All charcuterie is house-made, dry-aged steaks are as well-prepared as any around, and all of… Read Full Editorial
Mediocre food and horrible service management by JamesTravels via Citysearch on 11/1/2009
We were excited to enjoy our first brunch here in their outdoor area. While our server was helpful and nice, we ultimately left frustrated and disappointed. At first, we were seated promptly for our 11AM reservation slot. However, after we…
Always Wonderful by angela3939 via Citysearch on 11/9/2008
I'm appalled at some of the nasty reviews given for Cafe Rouge; my husband an I have been going there for years and have always had a lovely experience. The bartenders in particular are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and the food…
Hair In Food... by Janelle Q via Insider Pages on 7/5/2008
I had very high hopes for this ideally situated bistro in the middle of Fourth St, Berkeley. It has a great ambiance on a sunny weekend with outdoor seating. I had great expectations with the raspberry lemonade running $5 and the average…

The food was does not stand out at all there are thousands of way better places with way better food…
A perfect place for lunch! by Erin C via Insider Pages on 3/21/2008
We go here for their hamburger and french fries! The quality of the meat is top-notch and their fries are delicious and I don't like french fries otherwise. They have great seasonal salads as well...I once had a avocado, lemon vinaigrette…
Cafe Rouge slow by isaiah m via Insider Pages on 3/11/2008
I found the food to be ok but the services was slow. we waited there for awhile and there nothing to do but drink.maybe they plan it this way. I would not recommend cafe rouge. They need to work on costumers services skills.
A classy but casual Slow Food-movement bistro/meat counter with organic everything and a mesquite grill. by Contributor via Citysearch on 10/16/2007
In Short
On a trendy, upscale stretch of 4th Street, this darling spot fits right in. Pates and sausages are made in-house, and they dry age the meats, all of which are antibiotic- and hormone-free. The California-centric menu…
Dissapointing by ronlr via Citysearch on 4/14/2007
Service has deteriorated...while my lunch companions finished their meals today, I waited for over 1/2 hour for 6 oysters to be shucked. I finally cancelled, but there was no apology. I left hungry and $90 poorer. I am a regular customer…
Good Choice, Small Menu by amyh2 via Citysearch on 2/5/2007
We chose this restaurant last minute, so didn't get a chance to read the reviews- I probably may not have gone. Our experience was nice, but it is a loud place with lots of people. I didn't think the servers were rude, but thought the…
this restaurant doesn't get the reputation it deserves by misslaurat via Citysearch on 11/11/2006
my mom and i stumbled on this restaurant accidentally when we were looking for a place to eat, so we weren't expecting much. but, we left more than satisfied - i've been back more times than i probably should, considering i'm supposed to…
Rouge has it's good days, and it's bad. by hezmodo via Citysearch on 9/5/2006
There are a few long-term servers who seem to hate the customers, oh maybe they're nice to Kermit Lynch, but not very nice to me. Frankly, the poor service attitude isn't why I stopped eating in the dining room. But the main reason was…
WORST PLACE TO BE IN BERKELEY by internationalfan via Citysearch on 8/20/2006
I HAVE NEVER LEFT A RESTAURANT BEFORE, AND HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED THIS BADLY ANYWHERE, NOT EVEN IN PARIS!!!!!!\r
WE SAT FOR OVER AN HOUR TO GET OUR FOOD. AFTER 1 HOUR AND 20 MINUTES OF SITTING IN THE RESTAURANT WAITING FOR THE SALAD WE…
the food was over priced for the quality by christina83 via Citysearch on 7/15/2006
I guess we were lucky on the day we went because the wait staff was friendly but the dish I ordered was bland. The salad was great however. I ended up running next door to Tacubayu \r
for a much more delicous and affordable take out meal…
Stay for the oysters and lemondrops! by janisan via Citysearch on 5/13/2006
My husband and I have been dining at Cafe Rouge for about 7 years and have always enjoyed it. The selection of fresh oysters is always fantastic and Robbie (the oyster shucker/bartender) is wonderful and very knowledgeable. We like to…
Great experience by br47ian via Citysearch on 1/4/2006
On a recent busy saturday night, We walked into Cafe Rouge without reservations and we were greeted by a very pleasant host, who apologized for the wait but seated us only after 10 minutes. We dined on a meal of wonderfully fresh oysters,…
His Meat Market Majesty by claudiamodele via Citysearch on 1/4/2006
The meat market at Cafe Rouge is excellent and even more so now that a new butcher has arrived. I was treated so graciously by a gentleman named Karl that I thought I had returned to the days when everyone knew your name and said hello…
Unbelievably rude service!!!!!! by xphilerdan via Citysearch on 10/5/2005
I'm in the hospitality industry and eat out 3-4 times a week, and work with restaurants as a consultant. I had a birthday dinner there recently and by the time the whole wretched experience was over with, my blood pressure had gone up…
TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, RUDE SERVICE by v_b via Citysearch on 6/15/2005
This place is unbelievable. They got the order wrong, and then complained to us about it. They made snide remarks. They were pushy. At these HIGH prices this is not what one normally expects.
Very RUDE Service! by choelter via Citysearch on 11/1/2004
I had lunch here recently with a friend and her mother. My friend wanted to order Steak Frites, and asked whether it came as a sandwich. Since the answer was no, she requested a roll of some kind, offering to pay extra, and, to utter…
