Restaurants in Hertfordshire in general

Just returned from a wonderful meal at the Toby Carvery, Watford. After a few friends had recommended it, I was really looking foward to having lunch with the family, but was concerned when I read a really bad review.
Well, our experience was fabulous. The service was great and I would highly recommend the food. All the meats were cooked well - neither raw or cremated and the vegetables were not soft and soggy, but had a lovely crunch without being under cooked.

My wife, teenage daughter and I went for a meal at Cafe Rouge on 12 May 2006, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.The service was efficient and friendly right from our telephone booking to paying the bill. I was most surprised to read Ally Pally's review which mentioned having to wait for service and to get their food, because our service was prompt and the waiter most pleasant and attentive.

The restaurant is clean enough, but ...  Read the complete review

My family and I had a meal at Café Rouge, St Albans last month and were very disappointed with it. We should have walked out after waiting 30 minutes for the waiter to come and take our order. When he did arrive he was extremely abrupt. We waited another 45 minutes for our food and the portions were very small, the meat was overcooked and dry. The chips were burnt. We asked 3 times to get a drink. To top it all we were overcharged. When we complained to the Manager, he apologised and said he would take 10% off the bill - BIG DEAL. Take my advice, don?t go there. ...  Read the complete review
