On February 21st, 2025 my wife and I had the 2nd culinary experience in the steak shop:
Unfortunately, we can no longer report as positively about the evening as we did the first time two years ago.
I also communicated this to the steak community by email - unfortunately with a somewhat weak response.
Here is our honest feedback on our participation in the Beeftasting Masterclass on the above date.
However, after our current visit we are unfortunately disappointed. We have exchanged ideas with friends and know that there may have been changes to the concept, but for us the experience was not convincing this time.
1. Serving Size:
The quantities served were more like samples than actual portions. We estimated that we only got 150-200 grams of meat per person over the entire evening. If you wanted to get a second helping, it was usually just a very small strip. For the price, we would have expected that you would actually be full at the end. The side dishes were also rather clear in terms of quantity. This was also criticized by other guests at our table. If you are in a room full of the most delicious meat and are only served a "sample" of it, that is not exactly beneficial for the gastronomic experience.
2. BEEF:
Unfortunately, this didn't work as expected because the gas ran out. This spoiled part of the experience in terms of the special taste.
You could have quickly made do with a replacement gas bottle.
What a shame!
3. In our opinion, the explanations about the topic of meat were too brief, or were only "touched on".
Of course there were a lot of people in the room who already knew a lot about meat/steaks, but we still had each other here
an additional knowledge refresher would be desired. Our leader of the evening, Nik, made it a bit easy for himself.
4. Value for money:
Due to the small amounts of meat and the technical problems, we unfortunately cannot recommend the course in good conscience.
There was no reason to complain about the taste and the service.
However, for the price, you could enjoy a multi-course meal in an upscale restaurant instead - with generous portions and a well-rounded overall experience.
If the concept is deliberately aimed at tasting, it would be important to communicate this more clearly.
Maybe we misunderstood something here?! Two years ago it was definitely more harmonious, and there was more on the plate with every course.
We hope our feedback is helpful
Very hospitable and child-friendly! The menu has not (yet?) found a focus - there is everything from naan and curry, to schnitzel and pizza.
The schnitzels were very good!
The steak was spot on perfect. Soft like butter on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside with a pleasant roasted aroma.
The burrata salad was also highly recommended.
Ambience is wonderful and very cozy.
Very tasty, very fast service, very friendly staff, very clean, and a great atmosphere. We felt very comfortable. Thank you so much for the lovely evening.
New owner who makes it just great! It was very nice to find here by chance and very adventurous with the wild boars!
The food was very tasty, the service was super friendly. If we're ever in the area again, we'd love to come by!
Kind regards, the Hoinkis family
