So, I was today at Butchery and Wine.
To be honest, the meat is excellent! Really. I had a steak with spinach, a potatoe and truffle cream (did not take a pic, because I already saw it here).
To the dish: The meat itself was excellent. Very soft, smell better than I expected.
The wine was also very good. We took a glas of Tempranillo and Barolo, both very good and suited to our dishes.
The salad with grilled beetroot and goatchees was excellent. All ingredients suited and had their own taste. There was no such a thing like everything tastes the same (which I had in some other places).
For desert we had a chocolate fondant with rasperry mouse and vanilla cream. So the fondant was delicious, but it was not excellent which was tried to hide with a huge coat of chocolate sauce on the top of the fondant. The rasperry mouse was ok as well as the vanilla cream. But even the vanilla cream was made out of real vanilla it was a little tasteless.
My partner convinced me to try some coffe, so I did and knew immediatelly why I refused to order some. First of all the waitress did not know what kind of coffe they are serving, she had to check. Then she came back and said its 100% arrabica from central america. Well, for me very disappointig that it was first of all that blend, because it was way too sour. So robusta was missing, especially to that kind of desert. Second, when I tried to explain, why I miss robusta and how it tastes and what kind of values it has, there came the typical polish mentality reaction: "It is not my fault, I did not choose the coffee we serve here."
Not only that she was not able to name the countries, she took it personally. When polish waiters will understand that it's not about fault, it's about exchanging opinions, ideas, to educate. And because he or she is the waiter, he or she is the person to talk for the client, not the chef or manager itself.
And as I pay attantion to details I noticed that they have such nice things like there wine corner, so that you can take a look at your wines and champagnes (checked even the temperature, was ok) :)
The books all over the place really suit there and make the place more interessting.
Even the meat dryer was nice to see.
Two big minus: The frames where there are all the certificates of michelin and so one weren't hanging straigt (does not show much respect).
Second: The webside menue is not up to date. That's a no go.
Four stars, because the meat was really good, the wine too. The rest was half hearted treated. Pitty.
