het chique, stijlvolle interieur de sympathieke chef aan het fornuis
1)Lange wachttijd voor het serveren van het 1e vg (ong. een uur en een kwart) 2)onsamenhangende gerechten, ik vraag me nog altijd af wat de meerwaarde van de walnoot bij de zeebrasem is, de combinatie van varkenswangetjes en coquille was ook niet overtuigend 3) gerechten werden lauw en niet genoeg gegaard geserveerd (de aardpeer was gewoonweg hard,de wangetjes van Ibericovarken, nochtans een superproduct, waren echt niet gaar en de fazant zag nog rood) 4)een gastvrouw van een sterrenzaak mag zich wel wat meer profileren en een andere tenue dragen dan het uniform van haar bedienend personeel (die trouwens heel vriendelijk waren) 5)er bestaat zo'n aanbod van wereldwijnen en toch werd er gekozen voor 2 Oostenrijkse en 2 Portugese wijnen (deze waren wel lekker en werden ook gul uitgeschonken) Kortom onze hoge verwachtingen werden totaal niet ingelost. Ze zijn hun pas verworven ster helemaal niet waard
