点评:I’d heard good things about the restaurant and was looking forward to a nice meal with friends. Arriving ten minutes early on a bitter cold day, we hoped to wait indoors but were disappointed, the door was locked.Two employees were standing in front, smoking their cigarettes, and didn’t seem to notice our plight. We had no choice but to wait on the sidewalk until we were allowed inside.
The restaurant’s decor is pleasant and the tables aren’t too close together. At lunch there are only two options, the daily or the monthly menus. We opted for the monthly menu, three courses for €38, no amuse bouche and no friandises with the coffee were served. The first course, brussels sprouts and a purée with citrus fruits, was agreeable if not spectacular. The main course, onglet de boeuf with purée was disappointing: the meat wasn’t braised nearly long enough and was,sadly, stringy and tough. It also wasn’t well spiced, so somewhat bland. The purée was excellent, however, which was a redeeming grace. As dessert, a moelleux de chocolate was served with crème anglaise. I ate two bites and gave up: too sweet, too little chocolate flavor, and way too raw. The flavor of raw egg was so disturbing as to make it -for me - not edible. On the whole, the presentation was lackluster. After each course the waitress asked if we‘d liked it, but didn’t react when nobody said anything, neither positive nor negative, nor did she take notice when she cleared away plates that were nearly full. It seemed to me that there wasn’t any real interest in our opinion = no interest in improvement? It wouldn’t be hard to make an excellent meal out of what was served, very little effort is involved. But the will must be there. I cook better than this at home, so I found it disappointing and probably won’t bother to go there again.
翻译:我听说这家餐厅的评价不错,所以很期待和朋友们一起享用一顿美餐。在严寒的天气里,我们提前十分钟到达,希望在室内等候,但很失望,门被锁上了。两名员工站在前面抽烟,似乎没有注意到我们的困境。我们别无选择,只能在人行道上等待,直到我们被允许进入。
餐厅的装饰令人愉悦,桌子之间的距离也不是很近。午餐只有两种选择,每日菜单或每月菜单。我们选择了每月菜单,三道菜 38 欧元,没有开胃小菜,也没有咖啡配甜点。第一道菜是球芽甘蓝和柑橘果泥,味道不错,但并不特别。主菜是带果泥的牛肉汤,令人失望:肉炖的时间不够长,而且很遗憾,又硬又筋。而且调味也不太好,所以有点寡淡。不过,果泥非常美味,这也是一个弥补的亮点。作为甜点,巧克力蛋奶糊搭配英式奶油一起上桌。我吃了两口就放弃了:太甜了,巧克力味太淡了,而且太生了。生鸡蛋的味道太难闻了,对我来说,根本吃不下去。总的来说,摆盘平淡无奇。每道菜上完后,女服务员都会问我们是否喜欢,但当没有人说任何话时,她都没有反应,无论是正面的还是负面的,当她收拾几乎满的盘子时,她也没有注意到。在我看来,他们对我们的意见并不真正感兴趣 = 不想改进?用提供的食物做出一顿美味的饭菜并不难,几乎不需要付出任何努力。但必须有意愿。我在家里做的饭比这更好,所以我觉得很失望,可能不会再去那里了。
