Keating Steak and Wine House — Restaurant in Saumur

The worst steak house I've had so far. They cook your steak in the steam oven! We came for evening service, first welcome was nice, the staff got us a table but after waiting around 20 minutes nobody came to serve us (while there were 3 staff during the service). Finally one staff came to take our orders, but before we finished ordering for the wines, he took the menu book and left. So we had no wines, not even a sip of water until the end of our visit. Nobody paid attention to us, and my steak came out medium-rare (when i ordered for well-done). We asked the staff to fix it, and the chef in the kitchen just threw my plate in a steam-oven! When my plate came back to me, the meat was blend and watery, tasteless, not even decent to be served for the price they charged you for. When I complained, their answer was just "If the customer asks us a well-done steak, we always put it in steam oven. That's how we do it." What a disrespect for food and for customers. The chef was the worst, if you cannot make a proper well-done steak, stop calling your place a steak house. Not everybody eat rare or medium steak. At least if you cannot make one, just refuse to accept the customers from the beginning. The only thing that good was one of the three staff that tried his best working here and there while the...

Perhaps we went on the wrong day, but to be honest, the meal was nothing special. Certainly not Argentinian, or even Spanish, standard.

We enjoyed the Chorrizzo and Empinada starters, but our rib-eye steaks were ordinary and probably not as good as a Buffalo Grill, though the surroundings were much nicer.

The Argentinian wine was a welcome change from local Cabernet Franc, but no canapes were served with our Appero.

Way too much salt was on the chips and steak, we were gasping for water during the night. This comment to the waiter earned us a shoulder shrug.

If you look at their website, you will see a mouth-watering and perfect looking steak with big chips, what was served bore no resemblance to this.

I enjoyed my Basque sauce, my wife disliked her Argentinian sauce. The steaks are not cooked over charcoal, mine - medium-rare, was hot on the surface but still cold in the centre. It was pretty sinewey, my wife's tender.

There are plenty of great Michelin recommended restaurants to eat in Saumur for less than the €100 cost of this meal. We can see no strong...

What a lovely restaurant. Perfectly situated on the charming place St Pierre, friendly service, high quality food and we had a really enjoyable experience. Highly recommended. My Picaña rump was excellently cooked. My son's tatare italien was very tasty and a lovely twist on the french classic. My daughter's kids menu was a good size and the steak was very tender. My wife had the pork which was mouth watering. Great desserts as well. I don't know when we will be back in Samur, but we will definitely come back to this...
