Rip off and pure disappointment. Anyone who is hungry and on "reasonable prices" is wrong here.
We expected a lot and were disappointed along the entire length. It was about half full when we came.

Service: 2/5
We ordered 3 beers, which took a bit at first but didn't matter. the waiter then parked two of them side by side. The other of the lady who was parked opposite. We were allowed to take and hand out beer coasters.
A dish (small starter) was forgotten. When we were halfway through the main course, he asked if we still wanted it. It then took another 20 minutes and we decided to pay and leave. So we paid and we were charged for the missing dish, although it was still not there. But there was still another question what that was all about.

Food and drink: 2/5
We once ordered "Welcome to the jungle", which was given as grasshoppers with mealworms with hummus and "greens". The dish was first forgotten, then came in a cardboard / wooden plate and is a cheek! There are exactly 4! small grasshoppers on a dollop of hummus and a little salad with about 20 meal worms on it. Don't taste like much else. The hummus was good. The advertised insects on the salad were at most a small topping.

Also nachos, they were good. For a price main course with 10 euros but quite thin.

The "Mixed meat plate" was a cheek for 22 euros. Is given as a mix of kangaroo, crocodile, grasshoppers and beef. The plate was as long as my hand, and 70% of it was french fries. Three pieces of meat (kangaroo, crocodile and beef) were all tasty, but not really big either. More the children's variant. And then: 2 grasshoppers. Really only 2 grasshoppers. (which, by the way, don't really taste like anything.)

The Ceasars Salad with strips of turkey was only half a plate full.
Beers were good and ok, but what can you do wrong with bottled beer? That's right: the price can be set quite high at 4.7 for a large beer.

Ambience: 3/5
Most of it is in the basement, seats are pleasant, but one room is decorated in a rather meager manner. A little bland. The mold? / Water damage spots? on the wall next to the stairs are not quite appetizing.

Price-performance ratio: 1/5
Everything is too expensive for what is offered. The food was far too little for all of us (2 men, 1 woman), clearly too expensive and much too high for the actual performance. You are pulled over the table and then you leave a proud 70 for 3 people.

Conclusion: We have decided never to go there again and cannot recommend it to anyone. Too bad because we were looking forward to the evening and the food.

edit: Now, 5 months later, I've heard from a few other people how they were ripped off there. Well, I would have known that earlier.
