A very nice restaurant with a good and diverse menu. The setting, ambiance and service is on point. The outside seating is definitely a plus. So why is it not 5/5?
It's because of the food. I ordered a flank steak and really wanted to enjoy my scrumptious looking piece of meat after walking in Aarau all day. I was famished.
I wasn't asked how I'd wanted it cooked so I put my trust in the chef's capabilities. And oh boy, that was a mistake! The steak was completely under cooked to the point where it was bleeding. I took a leap of faith and put the first bite in my mouth.... and was shocked to have a piece of meat in my mouth that would put rubber to shame.
So here's the thing, I thought I should've made it clear to the server how I wanted my 50 Euro steak cooked. But I was relieved to know that it wasn't just me. My colleagues said their Schnitzels were over cooked and dry! The portions were tiny as well.
For a pricey restaurant, the most important aspect (food) was severely lacking. I hope they put a bit more focus and raise the food standard, not only the prices.
