I don’t usually write reviews unless an experience is truly exceptional or clearly disappointing. Unfortunately, this visit falls into the latter.
We went to Restaurant Nova in Rotterdam for my daughter’s 24th birthday, a place she had been excited about for a while. The ambiance was pleasant and the staff courteous, but the food did not justify the €80 per person price tag.
The steak tartare lacked freshness, as if it had been sitting in the fridge too long. The risotto was overcooked and underseasoned. The lamb steak tasted reheated, possibly microwaved. The one highlight was the braised lamb, which was flavorful and well-prepared.
I chose not to complain at the time to avoid ruining the occasion, but this experience definitely goes on my list of places where the quality-to-price ratio is below 1.
