Third visit, as I really wanted this place to be good - sadly it's mediocre at best, and vastly…read moreoverpriced at that.
On the first two visits, the steaks have been overcooked and tough, although the menu highlights the immaculate quality of the meat. The proprietor is quick to offer a replacement when it is pointed out, but that doesn't change the fact that he needs to get the kitchen under control.
Risotto is a watery mess devoid of much flavor. Avoid at all cost.
Bruschetta is fresh, albeit doused in so much olive oil, the grilled (and very thinly sliced) bread turns completely saggy before you have a chance to enjoy the fresh tomatoes. Also, in dire need of garlic and a pinch of salt.
On our third (and final) visit today, my girlfriend ordered the house pasta. Described as beef and mushrooms in a truffle sauce and priced at 169 DKK, one assumes a petite cut of filet or at least a strip - unfortunately it comes out as ground beef; an upgraded bolognese. To top it off, the beef was grissly and dry - assuming it has been sitting in a heater most of the day.
I had high hopes for a restaurant that, on paper, cares about quality - sadly Torve-hallen fails to live up to its flashy exterior and decor.
