During dinner, the rain was pouring outside, the rain gets into my hair and my food…read more
The waitress looked like they don't care and no one asked us to move inside.
Me:" It's pouring outside, the rain is falling on my head, we need to move inside the restaurant".
The waitress:" Wait until I'm done".
Then she walks into the restaurant and staring at the rain.
Friendly manager, awful service from waitress, mediocre food and cheese closet with a bunch flies inside, the waitress went to the manager and ask permission for the cheese(probably almost dead because of the flies) and yet, they still serve it to the customers.
Nice indoor decoration, good atmosphere and it looks pretty cozy for winter time.
We met our friends here for the dinner.
The outdoor sitting is an awful place to be. It's stuffy because of the plastic roof. The diners came out to smoke. They were smoking right behind us and the waitress didn't even care. They were smoking like 4 times during the entire dinner. ugh.
The serving is tiny, like two bites.
The food looks fine dining/gastronomy, The menu sounded interesting by using fancy names. Some interesting names in different languages that not many people could understand, the cooking technic is poor and the taste were hit and miss, unfortunately a lot are miss.
+++ Bread is crispy and the sauce that goes with it is pretty tasty.
+++Pickled herring opens your appetite
-++ Scallop: It's crushed croutons and fresh watercress on 6 piece of 1.5 inch x 0.1 inch raw scallop, topped with black salmon roe. The white beer foam was tasteless and it's textured is like meringue. It's like eating tasteless meringue or hard egg white cubes. Scallop is sweet and fresh.
--- Makreel was boring, tartaar is actually some kind of mayonnaise, the white jelly lookalike cube is raw tofu. Where is oyster creme,sweet onion and fennel?
--- Red mullet is overcooked, mussels were fishy, plating was nice until I saw two lines of yellow green-ish thick sauce on the plate that looks like snot. ewww...and the foam doesn't make any sense, it's nice on the eyes, but it's tasteless.
---Steak tartaar looks awful. It looked like a bunch rotten meat on a plate. It's lightly seared and being sliced. It's hard to eat, because of the cutting style. Gherkin is just a luxury name for pickles, aceto onion is nice, I didn't see caper mayonnaise on the plate, but some boring red sauce, maybe caper mayonnaise comes in red coloring? ;)
--- The plating of Veal cheek looks unattractive and pretty gross, the meat melts nicely in your mouth, but it's completely tasteless. The potato foam and the sauce actually make the entire dish uninteresting and chunky. It doesn't have many flavors.
---Wagyu on hot stone looks terribly boring. It's literary wagyu on hot stone. Wagyu's quality is only grade 2-3. It's a skinny/lean Wagyu New York strip steak. There is nothing much to share, the portion is tiny.
--+The cappuccino is excellent, the cakes that comes with the cappuccino looks nicely presented in a small tin can, however it was two boring bites.
--+Rhubarb was sweet and crisp, however together with raspberry ice cream, white chocolate mouse and the crushed Speculoos cookies/crumbs it has a weird texture. The plating looks like someone had fun with how to decorate the plate and the texture just doesn't make any sense. The white chocolate mouse doesn't have any flavors and the raspberry ice cream melted down easily. It's completely a mess.
I am very disappointed with this place. We meet our friend once in two years and this place totally ruined it. The menu looks attractive, but the dish weren't the same as it's description. The portion is tiny. it's even smaller than a Michelin star-or molecule gastronomy restaurants. The waitress seems friendly, but they are careless and the service is very slow. It's so slow like 10+ minutes of waiting time for the next dish. The chef table looks like they are busy, but every dish is prepared in the kitchen, some of them are prepared long ago(probably in the afternoon), then they brought it to the chef's table, the chef's were acting. They were just using already prepared herb, spice, sauce to decorate the plate. It's pretty funny to see them walk around and acting. And there were three of them. WOW! Nice show.
