Restaurant van Soest

Thank you for your great review

Dear Ms. Karkoska, You were the only person at the table who didn't eat, but when asked …Dear Ms. Karkoska, You were the only person at the table who didn't eat, but when asked occasionally replied: "Everything is fine." You were the only one who complained about your food when it was cleared away. Also, you definitely misunderstood something about frozen vegetables. It was explained to you in detail that I buy the vegetables fresh, process them, vacuum seal them and then, yes, you're right, freeze them in portions. There was never any mention of seasonal. But that doesn't change the freshness of the vegetables. On the contrary, all vitamins remain completely contained. Why am I doing this? Due to planning and sustainability. But that has absolutely nothing to do with any vegetables from the bag at the discount store. You won't find anything like that with us. And no other finished products either. I cook completely alone in the kitchen and I don't know how many times a day the dish with Mediterranean vegetables will be ordered. As a company, we clearly distance ourselves from today's situation Throwaway society and want to waste or throw away as little food as possible. If I were to store all food unprocessed in cold storage and, if necessary, only need a small amount of the food required for the dish due to demand, What do you think happens to the rest? Exactly, due to its limited shelf life, it ends up in the trash. I avoid this by processing it beforehand. The Mediterranean vegetables consist of zucchini in yellow and green, pea pods, Peppers and cherry tomatoes. Carrots and beans are not included there at all. The fatty sauce you complain about is a broth made from various vegetables, with garlic, basil and a little olive oil. The proportion of olive oil is so small that it does not separate and everything floats in fat, as you have described here. To come back to the topic of jackets. We kindly asked you to hang these on the coat rack. We generally don't hang jackets over the back of our chairs, especially on days when it rains. Because the chairs have a fabric cover. We have a cloakroom that you can keep an eye on as a guest. In the winter garden there are already chair covers over the chairs because the chairs are no longer attractive due to wear and tear. Zippers and the like simply lead to the seams and fabric on the chairs suffering in the long term. The chairs are not from a discounter, but from a specialist catering store and therefore do not correspond to cheap workmanship. Our conclusion to the evening that happened two weeks ago: We couldn't have done it better, we didn't meet your taste and you've already said everything once and never again.

Dear Mr. Oppitz, Thanks for your review. …Dear Mr. Oppitz, Thanks for your review. We did not increase the prices at Easter, they correspond to the prices of our a la carte menu and we have not increased prices there either, despite an increase in VAT. These prices in turn are made up of various factors. Our steaks are always 230-250 grams. Of course, it can be harder if you ask. If you had said something on the spot, we could have fixed the problem immediately. Nobody has to go home hungry here. The gentlemen who received dessert were actually part of the family and I didn't miss the opportunity to have a dessert served at my expense. Of course, every other guest had to pay for their dessert. But that doesn't change the fact that every guest is equally important to us. Please feel free to talk to us on your next visit and I will serve you a larger portion. Thank you very much and have a nice Easter Monday Best regards Laura van SoestMore
