Rescue in dire need: after a first-class gastronomic failure on Christmas Day, I canceled the same location for the second holiday - what now? We had guests we wanted to go out to dinner with - so we chose the venison shoulder, the best decision! Super tasty, neatly prepared and, as always, a healthy price-performance ratio, the holiday was saved. Even in such situations: a clear recommendation! Thanks.
For the second time we had a fantastic and very diverse buffet with lots of freshly prepared, delicious dishes. The plov was very seasoned. The many small, carefully and beautifully prepared finger food bites offered something for every taste and tasted excellent. Everything was perfect! Gladly again!
We were really looking forward to our visit to Sidarenko, the occasion was an anniversary. When we arrived we had the first disappointment: the restaurant takes part in the cooking star lessons, but didn't tell us about it when we made the reservation and it wasn't visible on the website (at least not right away). Means: menu that is very mushroom-dominated, or nothing. Luckily, I really like mushrooms.
During the meal there were little things that I simply wouldn't expect at a restaurant of this class: a starter was served on tree trunks (looked great!) but it crumbled - we didn't get any plates, we were allowed to wipe the table ourselves. The main course was absolutely tiny - vegetarians pay the same but don't get an equivalent alternative. First dessert was an avocado ice cream which was really inedible - I've rarely had something in restaurants that I really couldn't eat, but that was the case here.
Guests at the neighboring table had similar problems - culinary specialties were not announced there either, and the main course was too small.
In the end, we weren't even told how we could rate the menu if we wanted to. One can only assume intent. My assessment of the food etc. should be understood in the context of the expectations of a restaurant of this class - what tasted good was also a real pleasure, but I simply expect more given the price range. It's a shame because we won't be coming back here after this experience.
The food is of very good quality.
The place lacks a bit of ambient warmth, in my opinion.
The service was very friendly.
The point of the flesh was perfect.
100% recommended.
