We decided to go to this restaurant with friends, celebrate the birthday of our wife, guided by the reviews, we created a positive impression about this place, and judging by the contingent that visits it and the presence of this restaurant and parked luxury cars, I hoped for good excellent service and excellent cuisine. After calling in advance and booking a table, I asked about the availability of the dishes we were interested in (and we really love meat- in particular steaks), I found a rather rare "Steak Tibon" on the site, the girl assured me that they have a huge selection and they are waiting for us. Arriving the next day at the appointed time, we were seated at a table, we asked the dish we were interested in, to which we were told that there was no such thing, it was our first disappointment, the waiter referring that this could not be, had to show their own website on the Internet on which it is all displayed. I had to choose from what I had, we chose several dishes –"Rib Eye steak" and steak from a tenderloin. After ordering wine for meat and salads, I drew attention to the sauces stuck to the tablecloth from previous visitors, it became clear where we came ... The waiters probably do not pay attention to such trifles. The second disappointment was when the "knives" for Meat were brought ... judging by the handles, they were very cheap knives with a short blade and a wooden handle on aluminum rivets, pretty battered by time and what is most surprising, they were washed in the dishwasher because the handle had already begun to exfoliate and the varnish had long been shed. This cannot be done, in normal restaurants knives are brought to choose from in a separate box, even if it is an ordinary cafe, then they should be more decent. Maybe I'm being picky, but even in Kronstadt there are such "cafes". Not to mention the "Pretentious" restaurants of St. Petersburg. The last conclusion after which it became quite sad is what the chefs did with the meat
The rib eye was ordered in two versions: medium and with blood, and steak from a fillet with blood
What they received plunged into the final failure of this institution, "ribai" was equally poorly fried, in two versions there was absolutely no difference between the medium and with blood, and since it was not served on wooden dishes on a stone, it cooled down very quickly, after 5 minutes it was impossible to eat, and the presence of a large amount of fat the edges showed that the meat was of poor quality, the same thing happened with the tenderloin, I generally doubted that it was her –most likely, a thick edge came out instead of her –because the meat was like rubber…
Having decided to leave this institution and leaving a considerable sum for such hospitality, we were amazed that there are visitors in the restaurant who come there with animals, a company was sitting at one of the tables and one of them was running on a leash tied to a chair by a "Pomeranian"
. There is one positive point – they succeeded in the bread basket, the bread is delicious, but for some reason, they didn't put a separate device with it, they probably forgot it.
The conclusion is unequivocal. I will not advise anyone this institution. according to all indicators, the quality of service and cuisine is unsatisfactory!
