• Great restuarant!!

  My daughter booked a table for 20 for a friends 40th birthday meal and was very pleased with the service, the food (great choice and lots of unusual but delicious dishes to choose from), the attention to detail and the overall price was also good. She could not fault the place at all and has promised to take me there this summer!

• A bit different from the norm, but very good food!

  Went here on a Friday night - it was pretty busy. The decor is a bit different from most restaurants - a little eclectic, but very nice and it creates a nice atmosphere. The menu had some interesting choices on it - I was most disappointed that someone had already ordered the last portion of wild boar, so I had to go for quail instead, although that was very tasty. Also you get to choose a selection of veg side dishes to go with your meal which includes more interesting choices than the normal chips, potatoes, peas, carrots etc! We had sauteed potatoes and leeks and mushrooms. Overally, it was a very nice experience and I'll probably go back again!

• sleazy booze

  For steak and meat you're fine. Anything resembling a vegetable is less appealing - but then why come here when the emphasis is on meat, meat, meat. Generally slap dashed and lacking inspiration. Could do with a new menu!Likely to be a lively atmosphere as the restaurant is contained in a small and twisted alice in wonderland setting - used to be a cellar. Wine menu is nice, again lacks anything to really get the palate going. In short it's 'fine', but could do with a shake up.Staff very attentive, and manager Mark is attentive to feedbacks. Hopefully he'll read this and get Bouzy Rogue a better profile - perhaps a change of name?...

  This is a firm favorite the food is very good.The service is on the ball. The place is small and can get very busy, you need to book well in advance most weekends.A great place for a romantic dinner for two or a family celebration.

• 2nd worst resturant I've ever been to...

  I've never written on these things before, but just had to let people know about the 2nd worst resturant I've ever been to. Ok, very friendly staff will not have a word said against them, but that's about all this place has to offer. A 70's nightmare. So this would have been fun and perhaps added somehing to the evening but when the food is so bad it just added to the nightmare. The crockery is striaght from my grandmother's wedding set and paper napkins not a good start. So the food - shocking. A chicken mayo starter with prawns and rice, was a sandwich filler from the Co-Op and at £6.40 would expect a whole lot more. The girlfriend have pizza mushrooms, cheese and bacon in a mushroom, you can't go wrong but again at £6.30, its a bit steep. Mains, you must be having a steffi Graf, a fillet steak my arse (braising at best). The girlfriend's chicken wrapped in filo pastry again was so wrong. Chicken looked processed and the jelly sauce was far too sweet and was swimming in it. We had to have a look at the desserts and were hopeful that a Black Forest Gateaux would take pride of place, but our hopes were dashed and so we were unable to complete our 70's night out. Perhaps we missed a trick about the kitsch/70's thing, but the food was so bad you just couldn't forgive the place. The wine selection and veg sides were good though. In times of the credit crunch save the dosh and give this place a wide berth. A £10 M&S meal deal would have been so much better. Simon

• The most wonderful random restaurant!

  I was invited to the Boozy Rouge for a leaving party. Its behind Lush next to the Bargate Centre, you go downstairs into this really nice restaurant. The staff there are wonderful, always helpful.Then you get to the food, very good menu, not limited in style or number of dishes really either. The food is superb, a little pricy but very worth paying for. Would create a great romantic atmosphere for that special dinner!

• we love this place!

  We have been going here on special occasions for about 15yrs now and love it , the service is friendly, cheerful and best of all efficient, they always pick up on whether its a fun family meal or a romantic dinner and treat you accordingly, never in your face but there when required , I warned them in advance once that my niece had a severe nut allergy and that was dealt with efficiently but discreetly. The food is fabulous and lots of it, especially the veggies so nice to have such an assortment to choose from. The menu menu stays the same but with a extensive specials board so you are always spolt for choice and , my family when told they are going there are immediatly planning what to have , but still arrive and can't make up thier minds, its all so good. We took a friend there who has always raved about a steak he had in America never to be beaten , well sorry US but the Bouzy Rouge beat it hands down! Could go on forever absolutely love it!

• Romantic setting fantastic food

  A lovely restaurant ideal for either a romantic meal or a (older) family meal as the menu is more suited to an adults pallete. However the food is delicious, with a mixture of dishes,steaks and vegetarian food aswell as a great opportunity to try new foods.

• The best restaurant in Southampton, bar none!

  As the tittle says! I have been going to this restaurant for over twenty years, and it has never failed to deliver. With the most reasonable prices, you will not find anywhere better outside London!
