Public Grill — Restaurant in Texel

I came here with my husband. We told them 3 times I had a peanut allergy. Once when making the reservation, once to the bartender who took our order, and once to the waitress who dropped off our food.

I was STILL served food with sate sauce, and quickly got very ill. as my husband was asking the waitress what happened she suggested it was something I ate earlier, or maybe the spices.

They still made us pay for our food and never took accountability.

I know mistakes can happen, but this was just negligence and not willing to take responsibility. To be entirely honest, I’m still traumatized from this and am mostly writing this review so that they take it seriously next time AND so that customers know this can happen. Just beware if you have a peanut allergy. Seriously. I have an epi pen now...

Going out for dinner is more than just food on the table. You need ambiance, atmosphere and of course good food. This is such a location. 90% of Texel's restaurants have the same food.

(They have an art exposition on the top floor, how cool is that). Eating here (especially when you're early can give you the feeling you're part of the island family. All in all absolutely a...

Unfortunately we didn’t get to taste the food cause we had to leave as they showed no respect for COVID-19 health safety regulations. No one was wearing a mask even though they are in the food production. The waiter was leaning on our table above our heads all the time and when I asked him politely if he could keep the distance that the government has instructed his response was very rude. He told me “if you wanted distance you shouldn’t have come here”. So we left. Such a shame that people don’t understand how serious this situation is. And they are rude as well, on top of it. Please make your customers feel welcome and safe. Otherwise the crisis will kick in...
