点评:Litteraturhuset used to be one of those places in Oslo I genuinely enjoyed returning to. That makes today’s experience particularly disappointing.
I arrived at 1:00 pm, and what makes the experience difficult to understand is that the restaurant was practically empty. Still, I waited around 20 minutes for a table.
Once seated, another 20 minutes passed before a member of staff finally came to take my order. Then another 20 minutes before the stew of the day arrived.
One hour from arrival to food – in an empty restaurant.
That might have been easier to forgive if the food had been worth waiting for. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. The stew was bland, uninspired and completely forgettable.
The real disappointment is that this used to be a very good place. Litteraturhuset had atmosphere, good food and attentive service. Based on today’s visit, standards have slipped considerably on both food and hospitality.
A shame. When a restaurant is almost empty, neither the kitchen nor the service can blame the crowd.
翻译:过去,文学馆算是奥斯陆那些让我真心乐意再次光顾的地方之一。也正因如此,今天的体验才显得格外令人失望。
我下午1点到达,令人费解的是,餐厅里几乎空无一人。即便如此,我还是等了大约20分钟才得到一个座位。
落座后,又过了20分钟才有服务员来为我点单。再过了20分钟,今天的特色炖菜才被端了上来。从进门到上菜,用了一个小时——而餐厅里空无一人。
如果食物值得等待,或许还能原谅这种延迟。可惜事实并非如此。那道炖菜寡淡无味、毫无特色,简直让人转头就忘。
真正令人失望的是,这里曾经是个非常不错的去处。Litteraturhuset曾拥有良好的氛围、美味的菜肴以及周到的服务。但就今天的体验而言,无论是餐食质量还是待客水平都大幅下滑了。
真可惜。当一家餐厅几乎空无一人时……厨房和服务员都无法把责任归咎于顾客。
