The Eight Rooftop Cocktail Bar — Restaurant in Brussels

. To make matters worse, during a meal at your restaurant (Rooftop bar), I discovered a piece of hard plastic approximately 2cm in size within my food. This was not just a mere inconvenience; it was a potential life-threatening situation. The thought that I could have choked or sustained internal injuries due to your kitchen's negligence is terrifying. It is your responsibility to ensure that the food you serve is safe for consumption, and this breach of trust is unforgivable. The incident at your rooftop bar was nothing short of a disaster waiting to happen. A serious failure occurred that put my safety at risk. The fact that such a situation even arose is deeply concerning and speaks volumes about the lack of maintenance and safety protocols at your establishment. I could have suffered serious harm due to this negligence, and that is simply inexcusable. I am appalled by the level of service and safety I encountered during my stay at your establishment. In light of these incidents, I have already taken appropriate legal actions to address the plastic found in my food, as it posed a significant health risk. I have documented proof, photos, and witnesses to support my claims, and I will not hesitate to pursue this matter further to ensure that no one else falls victim to such negligence. As an attempt at resolution, one of your waiters had the audacity to offer me a shot of rum as an apology. This gesture is not only trivializing the severity of the issues I faced but is outright absurd. These problems require more than a...

I hate leaving a bad review but this was the worst service I’ve ever received. Booked a table for 7:30pm, no one came near us until 8:00pm - had to get our own menus. We ordered one shared starter and two mains. Received started at 8:15pm and it was collected by 8:30pm. Got asked did we want them together or the mains after the starter which we agreed to. 9:15pm arrived and no main course had surfaced. We then tried to call down a member of staff (very sparse the whole night) who told us that there was a change of staff and the fact we had asked for our mains separate had not been communicated and it took the kitchen contacting them to notice? We declined and left as we had further plans and didn’t think it would take 2 hours to be served dinner. This whole time we had empty drinks as well and no server came to offer us a refill or an alternative. Embarrassing service that we received and I’d be sad to work here full time - staff tried to make up for the lack of tip they were receiving but it made no difference after gagging for one with the card machine shoved in our faces??? Considering we had been seated for over half an hour with no one addressing us then for staff to expect a tip? Not a chance. Additionally it seemed this may have only happened to us as everyone else seeemed to get served okay but we were ostracised for some reason?...

This rooftop bar in Brussels is undeniably stunning, especially at night when the city lights create a magical atmosphere. The modern decor and location within a hotel make it a promising spot. We ordered two cocktails: an Old Fashioned with rum from their signature list, served under a glass dome with smoke, and a French 75 requested off-menu.

The Old Fashioned was good—a classic reinterpretation—but the smoke effect was more for show and didn’t add much to the flavor. The French 75, however, was disappointing. It didn’t taste like it contained champagne but rather prosecco. While the staff assured us otherwise, the quality didn’t match expectations. We asked for a plain Martini Cocktail as a replacement, but there was confusion with the order, and they initially suggested a Gibson Martini instead. Eventually, the Martini arrived, but it was underwhelming and lacked attention to detail.

We also tried a cheese platter, but it was quite standard and unremarkable. Overall, this place is more about the view than the quality of the drinks or food. The prices are fair, but there’s room for improvement in execution to match the...
