Let me start here: overall, worth what you pay. We didn’t have the best experience, though. We made a reservation, showed up early and were shown to our table immediately. After being seated, however, we waited nearly half an hour with no service and had to ask an employee passing by to call our waitress. Meanwhile, during our wait, we watched several tables get sat after us and receive their orders before we were ever approached. Once we ordered, the food came quickly. The steak was average at best, the salad simple, and the sauces were okay. There was no salt on the table, and the food desperately needed it - especially the fries. We ate quickly and waited another 20 minutes (after finishing) before a different server came to take our main course away and bring us the complimentary, and delicious, dessert about 10 minutes later. Again, in terms of food, worth what you pay. The meal was €35 for the 10oz and is a fair price, but only because of everything else that comes with the meal. At the end of the meal, however, we were rushed out by a third server informing us our table time had expired…despite the fact that we waited 30 minutes before ever getting addressed and had barely finished the dessert when we were practically forced out. She told us another couple was waiting on our table, dropped off the check and disappeared. It was another 5 minutes before someone came to collect payment, which seems silly since they were so eager to get us out. This was a very annoying way to end the meal. All in all, the service could be improved, but the food is fairly priced as long as you don’t expect much from the steak.
