First of all I would like to say that since this meal, both my partner and I have been very sick. Of course it is hard to pinpoint where this could have come from, but this has been the only meal whereby we have once...thought something wasn’t right. Every other meal has been perfect and I am confused as to how the reviews are normally good for this restaurant after my experience there.
My partner ordered the fillet and me the ribeye. My partners fillet came out really, really cold. I presume steaks are reverse seared and kept in the fridge until finishing off to order later on. This steak had not seen a grill and was “fridge cold” to the touch. The waiter took this back and was horrified with what he had brought to the table.
My ribeye initially was pretty good. There was a strange taste to the meat but I thought it was the baste they had applied. However, once I got to the cap of the rib eye it was like I had put fish in my mouth. The meat was rancid and I had to spit it into tissue.
We complained, and were invited to re-order food. I declined and was completely put off eating, my partners steak was already on its way out and this time was seared as expected - although the piece of fillet was large, it has not been trimmed and there was still a lot of sinew. Also that strange baste outshone the meat, although likely for the best.
The manager spoke to us and apologised - after the meal I requested the bill. I am not one to expect anything but I did expect a meal to be taken off after the chat with the manager that we’d had. The bill didn’t reflect the experience but I decided to pay and not kick up a fuss anyway.
This isn’t the first time I have left the hussar grill and been disappointed. I don’t know if this was an off day for the chefs or what the circumstances were but there is no excuse to be serving what we were served.
If I were you, go to NV-80 instead.More
