The Meatclub — Restaurant in Rotterdam

Catastrophic restaurant culture ! in Rotterdam that I never faced before. Without waiting to ask the bill they have put the bill on our table at 19:40. Then I have asked until which time they are open. Weightier explained me they need to change the shift at 20:00 thats why they collect the payment. 19:50 one lady arrive to me while my husband was in WC said me “ sorry but I need to be ready table for next customer for 20:00” I was shock! Even I was thinking to order coffee before leaving. We were arrived at 18:30 to restaurant . In any country culture I never faced this rough behavior. Behavior and culture is upper expectation as much as their food is delicious; hope someone can tell this proprietor of meatclub this approach to satisfy customer expectation. Me and my husband totally forgot how much delicious meat we eaten we only remember how they fire of us from this restaurant to accept next customer before 8...

The restaurant itself is small and the seats at near the door are very uncomfortable. It’s staff wasn’t really paying attention to the customers and the staff constantly went out to smoke but never washed their hands.

We ordered some wine which was a terrible cheap sauvignon. As if the wine had been open for a week. The wine is terribly overpriced. The choice of drinks is very limited.

Although the meat isn’t bad, the portions are so small and severely overpriced! In comparison to the restaurant Loetje the price for a very small tenderloin is € 35,50 where at Loetje you’ll get double tenderloin. Also no salad was presented as a side dish and got only a few fries without some mayo.

At the end we ordered some tea and the tast of the tea was combined with garlic!

Conclusion, never again. We left feeling hungry and cheated out of a good meal. We ended up going to...

The meatclub used to be the best steakhouse in town. Demanding but deserving a good price. But now the pretense was still there however the food was un inspirerend. If all would be well the club may be arrogant. But to refuse a caraf plain water whilst we also ordered bottles and glasses of wine and sparkling water is irritating. Too many other little things were wrong: 5 instead of 6 escargots, medium steaks luke warm at best, long wait for extra bread, scropino that looked like lemonade without any foam, steak tartar without any distinct taste……… The meals on the whole were OK but better steaks and more attention to detail can be had for less. We wish the new and charming owner all the best but at these prices more pleasure and quality needs to be offered. We will wait another year or so before we sample this place...
