Decent service and atmosphere; however the food and wine is a shame to Italian cuisine. Also not appropriate is that a member of staff addressed me verbally, somewhat aggressive, when I passed by after I had written this review and questioned my review. I didn’t feel comfortable at all.///////// The next paragraph is written as a feedback to the reaction of the owner after I wrote my initial review. I understand from the reaction that the owner is not aware of certain aspects and he deserves more “explanation behind” so that he is able to improve as he kindly suggests. I am grateful for the request for feedback: the colleague who addressed me personally after I had written this review, while I was passing by the restaurant, started saying “Thank you for the review”. To me it came across as cynical and the body language seemed aggressive. He said that I knew what I had asked for since it is on the picture in the book he holds when inviting clients. This was completely next to the point as we had agreed to get a lobster dish prepared differently than what is on those menu, and being without sauce. The colleague didn’t seem to know, didn’t listen to me and I left the discussion. we didn’t like the lobster as it completely did not provide for what we agreed. We had agreed to have half lobster prepared from scratch without (the tomato) sauce. The meat of the lobster we got tasted completely to tomato sauce and had the color of it; and clearly was not prepared specifically for us. It was just the lobster as being pre-prepared in tomato sauce . The consistency of the lobster meat was as a soft pulp. the pasta in the pasta bolognese was not at all ‘al dente’; it was too much boiled. the wine was cheap (but not what we paid) and too acidic. Not drinkable. the owner writes that we didn’t say anything while we were at the place: the waiters should have seen that the lobster was nearly untouched and the glass of wine remained full. Nothing was asked about how we experienced the food or drinks. I absolutely agree that we all have different tastes. However certain quality elements are quite universal. Thank you for the request for more detailed feedback and the same best...
