We used to eat here in occasion of the FOSDEM conference taking place at the nearby ULB campus at the beginning of February every year. We had a good overall experience in this restaurant in the past, thus we booked again this year. We booked...several days in advance, anyhow, when we arrived the waiters had to move tables around the room to find some space for us; ok, no problem, we waited a bit; after a while they gave us the "reduced" version of the menu (we were 10); we asked for the drinks menu which was missing, they told us to order food in the meanwhile; we ordered the food (appetizers and main courses); on the table were missing some glasses, we asked for them, and again for the drinks menu; we eventually got the drinks menu and ordered some beers; the first courses arrived; we started to eat; one of the entrecôte we asked rare, arrived overcooked; when we almost finished the main course, also the appetizers arrived, and when we almost finished the appetizers, eventually arrived also the beers. Concerning the food, it was not terrible, but it was neither very good. At the end of the dinner, as a last thing to turn all of us completely upset, we discovered that we could not pay separately (dividing the full amount in equal parts), the waiter told us that the owner wanted just a single payment; then we also discovered they did not accepted American Express. Moreover, in the bill we also discovered a lot of hidden fees, e.g. 2 euros for each sauce (which was proposed by the waiter) and more than 5 euros for each bottle of water. I don't mind to pay for sauces and water whatever they ask, but I do not like at all to discover it at the end of the dinner. In particular after the awful service we experienced. We had another dinner in the Brussels city center, having more or less the same dishes and they were much better, we payed by card with multiple payments and moreover, despite being in the city center, we also spent less. Thus in my opinion, this place is having a lot of problems, both in the kitchen and in the service; and their billing policies are not going to help it. Hope they could solve all of these problems. But I am afraid we won't come back.More
