10/07/2025: Hamburgers, Tex-Mex, Florentine steaks, always excellent

10/07/2025: I stopped here for lunch during a workday, hungry and short on time. The place is a beer garden/steakhouse with a friendly atmosphere. I read a few positive reviews and decided to stop in, partly because the lunch menu is different from the evening menu, offering simple and affordable options. I ordered a hand-cut beef tartare with walnuts and gratinated fennel. When the dish arrived, the presentation wasn't the best: the meat was a bit dark in color, covered in a mayonnaise-like sauce with a few walnuts on top. There wasn't a bad smell, but the appearance didn't inspire confidence. It had probably been cut ahead of time and left to air out in the refrigerator, oxidizing. At first bite, I found the meat cut rather large and difficult to chew. It was also slightly warm and had an unpleasant taste, as if it weren't exactly fresh. I ate it anyway because I was hungry, but I felt a bit nauseous at the end of the meal. On the other hand, the gratinated fennel was excellent, and the tartare portion was decidedly generous. I think it was a mistake of the day, perhaps an overzealous effort in the kitchen to save a leftover that should have been discarded. The staff, however, was kind and friendly. It's a shame about the experience, but I hope it was just an isolated incident.
