We recently dined at this wonderful restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the waiter. The moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and shown to our table promptly.
The menu was impressive, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Our waiter was knowledgeable and offered great recommendations based on our taste preferences and allergies. We started with the Coquille and Red Mullet, which was perfectly crispy and flavorful.
For our main course, we ordered the Sri-Lankan Chicken Curry and the Entrecote. Both were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The ingredients were fresh and of high quality, and the portion sizes were generous.
The waiter Udie went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout the meal. He was attentive without being intrusive, and had a great sense of humor that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Even we got to know about the history of the building. By each dish we got by his advice the best selective wine what was perfectly matched.
The ambiance was lovely and added to the overall experience. The decor was tasteful, classic and warm, and the music was just the right volume to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food and exceptional service. The staff truly make you feel like family, and the food is outstanding. I cannot...
Read moreHello, police? These people are repeatedly declaring themselves as "fine dining" on dates that are not the 1st of April. The service is below McDonald's standard and the staff manners are worse than those of construction workers catcalling women who are passing by.
If you want to feel like a liability for politely entering, ordering what you want and fairly settling the bill in the end, Aruna is the place to be. If you're a fan of the hillbilly staff gaslighting you about something you clearly saw written in the menu and later on gossiping about you, you're gonna LOVE the waitress here. Humiliation and being treated like you're inferior are your thing? Don't waste another second, come to this restaurant! You heard me, hurry up, run, you better be there way before the closing time if you don't want to listen to a bonus lecture on the tough financial situation of a fine dining restaurant owner in the Netherlands, which is somehow exacerbated by you coming "too late" and/or ordering "too little".
However, if you're aiming for a proper fine dining experience or just some normal, down-to-Earth place where the staff will treat you like a human being, go elsewhere. Or get a cup of the cheapest instant noodles, spread ketchup on a toast, eat a raw onion that has been sitting in your fridge for two months... I can assure you it will feel more like fine dining than what these holier-than-thou clowns are...
Read moreTerrible service and disrespectful attitude – not worth the high price
We had an awful experience at this fancy, overpriced restaurant in Roermond. Despite the premium price tag (they even charged 7 euros for water with no option for tap water!), there was no proper service. A young, inexperienced staff member couldn’t answer any questions about the menu and had to ask his seniors for every little thing. To top it off, we were told the chef had been missing for 50 minutes!
When the chef finally showed up, instead of an apology, we were met with a condescending lecture on “culture” simply because we politely asked if we could share a bowl of soup. This chef, from Sri Lanka, was more focused on making noise with his shoes and lecturing us about how we should “adjust to European culture” than actually providing a pleasant dining experience. Apparently, asking basic questions is against their “culture.” When we pointed out that culture isn’t about better or worse, just different, he ignored us completely.
To be fair, the food was good, and he accommodated our requests for vegetarian and spicy dishes, but the ridiculous prices and appalling service made the experience intolerable.
If you’re looking for good food paired with any level of decent hospitality, do not waste...
