"I visited this restaurant on a Saturday night and while the food was extremely good, I left the place thoroughly disappointed with the experience there. Good points: The excellent food. I chose the Primo Bacio - a delicious mixed antipasti selection - folloed by the Lasagne all Anatra which was very nice, despite the lasagna itself being a little overcooked and the cafe gourmand to finish which I'd recommend to anyone. The staff were very friendly. Worse points:The service wasn't always great. The waiter twice forgot to bring me things I had said I would like when offered - in the case of the bread with the main course, it arrived when I had three forkfuls left. More annoying wa that he whipped my bowl away from me with two of those forkfuls still there and my cutlery firmly in my hand. They weren't overly busy so this was entirely unnecessary. Children. I have no problem with kids in restaurants - the one on the table adjacent to mine was so well-behaved as to be inconspicous. Sadly, the one who started banging my table while I was eating because maman wouldn't let him watch his sister using the toilet (next to which Table 38 is situated) was less so. Ruined the meal for me and the staff showed no concern despite it going on for some time.The wine list is quite expensive but not at all expansive. Only 3 or 4 reds and whites and fewer roses. 3 courses and two glasses of wine came to around 70 euros including a 20% discount after reserving table through the fork / trip advisor. But it could have been so much better..."

"Ate here on a Tuesday evening in July with 2 colleagues. Pleasant looking restaurant, nice decoration, but service was very slow by the single waitress who took a long time to take our order despite the fact that there were only 4 other tables occupied. Menu is not extensive, maybe 6 starters, and 8 or so main course choices. No daily specials available while we were there. We all chose the maroilles croquettes to start - these were nicely presented, but overall were disappointing in that the taste was simply not there, maroilles is a strong smelling and strongly flavoured cheese - could have been edam in there and I would not have known. Bland.For mains I chose the carbonnade, a traditional Flemish dish I have eaten many times before, served with fries and a large salad, portion size of the carbonnade was on the small side. The beef itself was OK but was not melt in the mouth as a good carbonnade should be, the sauce was too sweet for me, don't know what beer was in it, but something darker and less sweet was needed. Nothing wrong with the dish per se, but other carbonnades I have eaten elsewhere have been so much better. Our French colleagues steak was good, but again nothing special, while my other colleague's maroilles burger was under cooked for his taste - his fault in asking for medium and not well done. Deserts were good. A disappointing visit, blandness seeming to be the order of the day. I would not chose to return."
