The Prep Kitchen by Baroque Baroque — Restaurant in Antwerp

we went with a party of three we got seated on a very small table which was fine however there were two tables free and the one next to us was free as well so we grabbed that table and pushed it towards us so that we will have more space, but the boss came to us immediately and told us that we are not allowed to do so in a not that polite manner and said that there will be clients coming in soon and we will need to leave that table open however we finished the food in our very small table and those two tables were still left empty till the end. It would have been fine if you told us more politely and we would gladly return the table as soon as someone entered, but he didn’t give us the option to do so. also, the waiter that served us was new so she was not familiar with the menu items we had to repeatedly told her our order and I specifically told her that I would like to have my drink iced 2 to 3 times and when the drink came, it was still hot so I had to return my order so that they had to make it iced again. It wasn’t even that crowded that day and the owner forgot our sauce from one of our dishes and only then did he slightly apologise for not allowing us to take the table because he saw that there were no customers that came in afterwards. as a small business, I think they need to improve their...

We waren helaas een beetje teleurgesteld in ons bezoek. Met slechts vijf tafeltjes om te lunchen en vier personeelsleden hadden we verwacht dat de service vlotter zou verlopen. Toch moesten we op een doordeweekse dag maar liefst 45 minuten wachten op twee eenvoudige lunchgerechten. De kwaliteit van het eten was zeker in orde, maar de porties waren erg klein, niet in verhouding tot de prijs die we moesten betalen. In de brioche met zalm zaten erg kleine stukjes zalm. Je betaalt €17,50, wat op zich oké is, maar doordat de portie erg klein is, ga je met honger naar buiten. Eén van de personeelsleden werkte bovendien opvallend traag, wat de hele ervaring negatief beïnvloedde. Hopelijk wordt dit opgepikt door de eigenaar, want voor ons is dit helaas een reden om niet terug te keren. -Hier is het antwoord op de reactie van de eigenaar: Als klant heb ik het recht om mijn ervaring te delen, zeker wanneer die gebaseerd is op feitelijke observaties. Wat ik heb geschreven, is een eerlijke weergave van onze ervaring — niet meer, niet minder. Dat daar zo sterk op gereageerd wordt, doet jammer genoeg geen recht aan het belang van open communicatie tussen...

My review is based on one dish that I tried, which is the french toast, and I didn’t like at all. The texture of the bread wasn’t good and a bit oily on the edges, the syrup felt more for a savoury not sweet dish. The white tea was good. A bit overpriced, which I don’t mind if the food was good for me, but unfortunately it was below...
