Ratings details
Wij waren met 2 kleinere kinderen, voor hen was er een speelhoek waardoor ze een plek hadden om naar toe te gaan als ze het aan tafel beu waren.De prijs was voor 4 personen € 76, zeer acceptabel; voor een restaurant uit de michelingids
De service was ver beneden de maat. Onze serveerster nam amper de tijd om ons huis-tuin en keuken Frans geduldig te beantwoorden, ze ratelde in rap tempo, niet antwoordend op onze vragen. We vroegen of ze mayonaise hadden, dat hadden ze zei ze, maar die is nooit gebracht. Ook de dessertkaart konden wij niet inzien, ze noemde alles snel op, en liep weg. later, na een minuut of 5 kwam ze terug. Niet meer precies wetende wat ze gezegd had, namen we maar koffie. Onze zoon had een kindermenu waar een ijsje bijzat, daar hebben we naar gevraagd. Ze zou kijken, maar kwam niet meer terug, onze zoon van 6 verlangend naar z'n ijsje achterlatend. Na 20 minuten liep er een ander personeelslid voorbij, daar heb ik het alsnog aan gevraagd en hij nam wel uitgebreid de tijd om uit te leggen welke smaken er waren voor het kinderijsje. Het stond toen ook binnen een minuut voor de neus. We hebben daarna maar snel afgerekend en de tip achterwege gelaten. Onbegrijpelijk dat dit restaurant in de gids ataat. tenzij de klantvriendelijkheid totaal niet wordt meegerekend.
