Description: The restaurant is located at a busy nightlife street, with many upscale restaurants but also many coffee shops and nightclubs. This is typical Rotterdam. We were lucky and had a parking spot just outside the door but said it is normally quite difficult to park there. Parking is paid and quite expensive, about 3.50 per hour. Nearby is a tram stop.
The Interior
When I came it was warm but no one sat in the front part. Lower is a bar next to toilets and a rear section with a sort of glass dome above. There sat the most people. At the back of the restaurant hangs a mirror so you can look at every side of the restaurant. For a luxury restaurant's interior was a bit austere. The tables were OK but nothing special and the glass dome was dirty. There was little decoration. But the tables were clean and well covered.
The Menu
It's a big menu with ten starters averaging 10 euro’s each. My friend took two appetizers instead of a main course and can also participate by acting as a main course. As main courses there are many luxury fish, meat and vegetarian dishes with an average price of 17 euro’s. There are seven desserts on average 7 euro’s. There is also a wide variety of both fresh and alcoholic beverages. A Coke or a beer is just 2 euro’s. There is also a separate wine list. You get a free bottle of water and bread before ordering.
The Main Course
I took as a main course fillet of venison with wild mushrooms baked in rosemary and cranberries. I had never eaten wild so I was really curious. Within a reasonable time, the food was delivered and I was very pleased with the result. It was a piece of red deer meat with tasty sauce underneath and a dish with mushrooms in pastry next. I also had a delicious salad and baked potatoes there. After dinner I was not full but had a feeling of satisfaction, there was still enough room left for dessert!
Dessert
For dessert, we took two grand desserts for two people. The grand dessert consisted of delicious desserts and some lesser. The ice was delicious as the warm forest fruit crumble with sorbet.
The Service
The operation consisted of two very nice waitresses who were serving time and were very polite. They asked us at the right time to drink and were very fast. They were also experienced one of the waitresses could wear 10 plates on one arm. When we complained about the haze pepper the waitress was very polite and we got free coffee.
Toilets and Hygiene
The hygiene in the restaurant was top, everything was clean and neat addition too. The toilets were clean but there was only one toilet for each gender. This struck me at best, even the toilets smoking had a chemical smell, it made me feel bad about arriving at the restaurant.
Conclusion
The restaurant has a good location in Rotterdam. The interior is a bit simple but certainly neat. Too bad the glass dome that was dirty. The restaurant is very hygienic but there are only two toilets. The lighting and heating were certainly in order. The service was polite and experienced. The tables were well covered and we got free bread and water. The card may be expensive and luxurious. Although we were badly affected with the hare, the formidable rest of the food. Also had dessert and wine of good quality. Everyone left the restaurant with a good feeling and that made the difference for me instead of three stars, four stars to give. The restaurant certainly has some flaws but the food is excellent and the service polite.
