Philharmonie Club in Essen

Very pleasant, empathically accommodating! Food very tasty. Recommendation without ifs and buts.

A very nice place for a quick snack or a glass of wine before a concert. Friendly and prompt service.

The atmosphere of the Philharmonie Club is very cozy. I ordered guinea fowl breast with pointed cabbage and polenta. Instead of the pointed cabbage, cubes of celery were served without any mention of it. When I pointed this out to the waitress, I was told: “Pointed cabbage was probably out.” Relatively incomprehensible to me on a Thursday. However, at least for me it is self-evident that the guest is made aware of a change BEFORE ordering and serving! Even though celery isn't exactly one of my favorite vegetables, I didn't have the dish back due to lack of time to attend our concert, although I wasn't even offered it. After the meal, when the waitress asked if everything was to our satisfaction, I replied that the dish was ok, but I was looking forward to the pointed cabbage and they should have told me about the change in the side dish BEFORE. Then I got the answer: "Yes, that's right." Not more! No apology, no accommodation. In my opinion, such service is an imposition and a nuisance! So there is no recommendation from me...

We love going to dinner here before events at the Philharmonie. The food is very tasty and the service is also very good.
