Maindiner — Restaurant in Frankfurt

I came for a 32 EUR marmored medium Rib Eye and a water but was given without asking the more expensive US Nebraska rib eye (42 EUR), which ended up being well done. a large bottle of water (9,50 EUR) - which was opened in front of me before I could say anything. This is all the more irritating that I asked for an extra fat piece due to being on a low carb diet. When I asked, the waitress first asked me "with no fat?, so I repeated "with as much fat as possible", but it seems even then she misunderstood.To the credit of the staff, they offered to cook another piece of meat, but unfortunately it was overcooked. I asked for a salad with only lettuce leaves and was given mixed leaves, which were not fresh (similar to the ones you buy at the supermarket). The pepper sauce was clumpy and from a powdered mix and had way too much salt. The broccoli soup had no cream or broccoli taste, it seemed again to be from a soup fix sachet (the soup was complimentary, though) My waitress was friendly and did her best but did not seem familiar with the menu, but for a 64 EUR total this is not the kind of experience you expect. My local café Odyssée offer Rump Steak for 15 EUR including sides and the taste and cooking are much superior. Buffalo Grill, while equally expensive at least make up for it by having consistently great meat quality and true (marmored) Rib Eye. I feel sorry for the waiters who did their best to compensate, but as it stands based my experience, I cannot recommend the restaurant, definitely not in that price category. I am sure it is possible to have a good experience at this restaurant (it is possible my waitress was new, and she was not native German), and I have all the understanding in the world for misunderstandings but I would still question the price considering the quality (at least for the items I ordered). I would have liked to give them a better rating because of the kind and respectful service, but it would not be fair to readers of this review. For this price range, I expected better attention to detail, as otherwise I can just go to my usual...

We went to celebrate my husband's birthday and I had shared this with the restaurant during my reservation.

On service, I must say everyone was very nice from the moment we walked in - we were made comfortable and were with our drinks very fast. The service team checked on us throughout as well!

Now food, I should save the best for last but in case you only read the first words. please d yourself the pleasure of ordering the sweet potato fries - it is hands down the best I've ever had. Crispy, crunchy with almost a nice chew on the outside with a soft, gooey and soft center.

On other items we ordered the starter platter for 1 (our waitress advised it would be too much food if we ordered the platter doe 2) and really enjoyed the tartars (beef, salmon and tuna) , for mains my husband ordered the rib eye black (?) It had a nice herb crust, and I ordered the prawns. My husband said his steak was very nicely cooked and I loved that flavour of the sauce on the prawn dish. Now to be honest, when the kind waitress had brought us bread with the soup I ordered Truffle butter thinking to have it with the bread, but she brought out a Truffle pasta 😆 we didn't want to make a thing of it and were happy to give it a try - flavourful, al dente with a nice side of vegetables!

Last but not least they kindly surprised my husband with a dessert for celebrating his birthday and even sang!

Thanks for the...

I found this quaint restaurant when Googling where to find a good chateaubriand while visiting Frankfurt. It's a bit out of the way and across the river from the old town area but well worth it. First of all, great "German" a.k.a. "huge" size pours on the wine...always appreciated. Then, we were brought a complimentary broccoli cream soup with fresh bread that was extremely tasty. Next, we of course had the chateaubriand accompanied by a red wine sauce and the beef fillet topped with a delicious bleu cheese sauce. Both of the cuts of beef were tender and succulent but I especially enjoyed the bleu cheese sauce. For sides, we had the creamed spinach and the parmesan mashed potatoes, both of which I highly recommend. Last, we were surprised with a sampler dessert that was the perfect end to a very satisfying dinner. I'm still thinking about their Kaiserschmarrn with vanilla ice cream. I highly recommend the restaurant and the prices were very reasonable, especially for the...
