But after going in the front door and greeted by friendly staff I was off to a good start. Even before they brought the menu, they offered me a drink! Nice second step. Then I had to take a business call and went outside. 20 minutes later I finally met my waiter who had a cold beer waiting for me and presented a large menu. Several fixed price options and a la carte rendered me confused and undecided. I chose the baked fish and lobster bisque. But I mentioned that the asparagus on a different fixed menu looked good as well. The waiter immediately said we will add asparagus or "white gold". And white gold it was. The Flemish asparagus is in season and a delight. The excellent lobster bisque had bite size pieces of lobster and the cream and French cognac came separately, adding to the interest. The fish was not to disappoint, either. In summation, this is NOT a hotel restaurant and a great find. I will be back.
