VANE Restaurant — Restaurant in Eindhoven

Sky bar was one of worst experiences. Our group came for drinks and some bites. We booked table 3 weeks before! First we were told that we can sit in one place then barmen asked us to move next to the toilet as this table will be used for another larger group (well fine, sometimes it happens and it does makes sense). We were seated and eventually bigger group was same size as ours, we just didn’t got that table because of some magical reason (ok never mind).We ordered cocktails, they were pricey and very very small (I am talking here about 50/70ml) - well sometimes that is expected from high end places (however never experienced that even in 3 Michelin star restaurants, shard sky bar etc, never mind let’s continue). But then we ordered oysters and we actually understood that place is just very bad. Oysters in this Sky bar was one of worst experiences. Oysters were brought by somebody from the kitchen to our table (looked like chef but hard to say for sure). I did asked is it possible to order something from the restaurant and got a reply “you should plan better next time if you want to eat, you are in the bar”. (Seriously ? I never had such a reply from staff, he could have said “no, sorry”). Well back to Oysters, oysters are priced 4 euros per peace, you expect GILLARDEAU oysters or at least in the same level, NO they use the cheapest gigantic oysters during months without “R”, when they mate ! It was the milkiest most discussing oysters I ever tried. That is not it, it came with Mayo and huge shell peace’s inside (picture attached), no vinegar or lemon juice!!! which is essential. We went to another restaurant in the city to kill horrible aftertaste of oysters in our mouth and have decent size drinks. Basically place is just hugely overpriced and very very very very very BAD. Nobody from our group is coming...

I've been here several times and have told many of my friends and colleagues about this place. So decided to go last night with out of town family and friends. We were rudely turned away!! We had guests from the US and we felt a great amount of hostility from the staff. Wondering if they don't like Americans but that would be really out of policy as a hotel bar servicing international guests. We had a large group but there were clearly 8 seats available at the Skybar. The young lady at the bar looked at us up and down as if we were vagrants off the street and said it wasn't possible for our large group. I said there are clearly seats available and we would be fine sitting apart. She told us it was not possible but I see you have too many people. Two of from our party were leaving anyways. I have a background in client services and you would never ever speak to a guest this way. I was with out of town guests to show them the best of Eindhoven. What a rude rude awakening. The lady at the bar was basically trying to find any excuse not to service us. We were with family trying to show them our new home in this city - horrid. She didn't apologize about her rudeness, did not offer a sorry about the situation or offer to welcome us back next time - she didn't even say goodbye or good evening!! Is this a hospitality group? At least be courteous and this wasn't the case. This is a Friday night, the place was not full. The restaurant had only one table with people. We considered getting drinks and food there but were already disgusted by the lack of professionalism and hospitality. Eindhoven was their last stop after visiting Milan, Barcelona and Paris. Keep their less than stellar amount of hospitality in mind if you are an English speaker and don't look...

Spotless service and atmosphere. Unique within Eindhoven. I was there with my family for a biethday dinner some months ago and the attitude of the staff was the best I’ve seen in restaurants in the whole of the Netherlands. There was always someone ready to fill up your glasses if there was even a suspicion of you running out of drinks, but they also manages to do so in the most discrete and non-obtrusive way; it never felt like they were waiting on you or that they were just idle. You just got the impression that before you even realized you’d need them, they had solved your problem. The multi-dish arrangement was actually quite tasty and diverse, and it felt like it was never really ending. Overall we got a very good vibe of this place and would definitely recommend to anyone who would like a good celebratory event with...
