Une cuisine simple mes bien réalisé & très bonne. Un prix abordable pour satisfaire davantage les clients. La seul chose que je pourrais dire c'est que malheureusement il n'y a qu'un seul dessert mais c'est pardonnable vu la bonne qualité des plats.
Je reviendrai avec grand plaisi

Nice place from afar. Reserved for a single person at 5h45 pm on a Tuesday evening & got outdoor seating as asked - evening starts off great.

Sat at 5h50 pm & the waiter doesn't come back until 6h20 pm to get my order. I order the lasagna bites, the fried chicken & steak + hoeegarden. They're out of lasagna bites & chicken. Great start. Let's opt for the Arancini instead of the 2 former appetizers. I ask for the Arancini to come out first & then the steak.

The waitress comes back outside 10 mins later, seemingly because she was there to formally take orders. Not sure what's going on. I repeat the order & ask for the Hoeegarden. The waitress says they're out of that as well. Fantastic, we're 3/3 strikes for disappointment so far.

I opt out of a drink, having been told they're out of so many choices available on the menu. No mentions of shortages of menu items on their end before asking for a customer's order. That's... Yeah.

6h45, no updates. Time passes, I can't stay past 7h30pm. I ask for the waitress to get the steak & Arancini out at the same time & she says she'll try as she punched both on seperate services for me. I understand, at least they listened to my earlier request.

10 mins later, it's 6h55 pm & I get my Arancini. It's not bad. I ask to know when my steak order should be out as I won't have all evening to stay unfortunately. It's 7h05 pm, I initially intended on leaving at 7h30 pm.

Steak comes at 7h15pm. It's underseasoned, fat cap is unrendered, however the steak has a nice sear & the pepper sauce is decent. The quality on the steak is below average with some connective tissues here & there. I asked for medium rare & got an uneven rare finish, as if the steak was cold before searing. I ask for a steak knife & I get a serrated bread knife. At least I can cut the connective tissues.

Fries are stale, slightly salty to my taste.

The waitress excuses herself & says they were busy inside. At most, I saw 5 tables of 4-6 people tops. Those tables didn't fill 25% of their whole capacity inside. We were maybe 20% in occupied capacity outside. Slow Tuesday, slower service I guess.

I go right for the bill after throwing chunks of the connective tissues & fat cap of the steak, tip 10% because of the whole ordeal & ask the waitress if she wants to know why I intentionally left lower tips.

She says no & wishes me a good evening.

4/10, I'm not sure I'll come back for the food or the service. Maybe a drink, if they have enough stock.
