“Best Burgers I've Ever Eaten”

Cafe Rouge grinds its own beef for their delicious hamburgers which come with incredible fries served hot. Their burgers are the best I've ever eaten and at fifty seven I've eaten my fair share of burgers. Their wine by the glass are reasonably priced and they have some outstanding fresh fruit based desserts. more

Over price and snootie service. We had a large party and a very large tab. We had one member of our 19 person reservation not show up and we were charged $30 for an entree. The server was the worst- a real jerk and the food was just OK. Don't bother going there. more
