Only had dinner at the restaurant on 27-4-2014. Unfortunately that was not a good experience. We were 7 people. Operation of drinks usually took a long time. After about an hour between starter and main course we were told that it took a little longer due to a mistake. It would come in 5 minutes. After 10 minutes the main course really came. An ordered Tournedos "Tasty Tom" that was ordered "weird" turned out to be well done and did not even look like a tournedos. After saying this, the wait staff who had taken the order asked 3x if he was sure that he had ordered the tournedos "weird". I think we were pretty clear about that. She would talk to her boss. It appeared after a while (too long) with a sauce that should go with the tournedos. Still assuming it was the right piece of meat. Eventually the right touring came fairly quickly afterwards.
The Asparagus a la Flamande were tasteless. The butter sauce was watery and had no taste at all. If this is the case, give the other things such as the ham and new potatoes some flavor. Unfortunately only the ham had a little taste. This impression applied to both people who had ordered this.
The rack of lamb was hard to get off the bone and looked a bit raw (if only they had done that with the tournedos).
After apologies from mainly the serving staff but quickly settled. We did not have to pay for the tournedos.
I have eaten in the restaurant once before and then had a mediocre impression. This experience makes it certain that I will not eat here again soon. The rest of the group had eaten here more often, but will not do so again.
