Restaurant la Table de Geispolsheim — Restaurant in Strasbourg

There was a poster of Mercredi on the bus stop outside this establishment. For the uninitiated 'Mercredi' stands for Wednesday....Wednesday Addams. Now you may wonder the connection.

The manageress? (or appeared to be as was organising the diners on arrival) at this restaurant appeared even less welcoming / friendly than dear Wednesday. A constant dis-approving scoul. Our group, one of the first to arrive pre the place filling up, was treated as if we were an inconvenience. The artic would be less chilly.

In contrast, the young lady taking orders and serving food did a sterling job, given she was tasked with doing most of the heavy lifting.

Now to the food. Excluding the pizza that looked and tasted good, the other dishes were Italian with a twist. Good flavour if a tad low on sauce content. Light of touch with the wine 😀 If you didnt drink it quick what little they served would evaporate.

I hadn't noticed until now some reviews criticising the management's hiring practices here. Not too far fetched given the disposition on display.

Place was busy and clearly is well thought of locally to their credit .They seem to have just one sitting of an evening so understandably, it is all hands to deck to ensure delivery for so many at the same time. That they pulled off successfully without a smile (which ironically costs nothing).

However, first impressions count for visitors / new clients, and sadly, here was...

What a gem of a hotel.

Love the funky style, the ease of the place. Perfectly located - in my case, 5 min walk from the main train station.

I would certainly stay here again if I come back to Strasbourg. I believe each room is unique - all 38 of them - not sure I'll be lucky enough to try them all out 😆.

The shower and bathroom is perfect. The little cafeteria is adequate for a good breakfast.

One small gripe, no coffee or tea setup in the room. But that just me.

And the 5th 🌟 - service is freindly, but the style, graffiti and decor,...

Restaurant sympathique à première vue mais une fois assis on se rend compte qu’il y a un problème entre les avis Google et le restaurant à l’heure actuelle.

La carte sur Google n’étant pas à jour nous nous sommes retrouvés dans un restaurant italien malgré nous. Une fois sur place nous nous décidons tout de même de tenter le coup sauf que nous recevons un accueil froid de la part de la serveuse qui malgré une légère blague peine à sourire.

J’ai commandé des Rigatoni aux Gambas mais je n’ai trouvé aucune saveur au sein de ce plat. Le goût fort de la sauce donne l’impression de camoufler que les gambas étaient surgelées ( je ne juge pas la sauce qui n’était pas à mon goût mais peut-être au goût de certains ), une sauce tomate dont je recherche encore le réel goût de tomate.

Pour un plat à la carte qui justifierait d’être "bon" je suis amplement déçu en ce qui le concerne, une impression d’être dans un restaurant sudiste saisonnier avec un serveur aigri qui devait se demander pourquoi il travaillait ici et là basse qualité de mon plat. Nous avons signalé à celui-ci que nous étions mécontents mais il n’en avait que faire. Aucune réponse, aucune discussion.

Nous noterons tout de même une jolie déco.

Pas de quoi casser 3 pattes...
