After our disastrous attempt at a meal at Steigenberger Wiltcher, recorded earlier in this blog,we were offered a free dinner at the hotel. Which we partook of last night. The difference was amazing. Clearly out to make an impression we were greeted in the main foyer, without even having to introduce ourselves.We were then shown to our table in the bar, which is a much nicer location for eating than the rather dry restaurant area.We had a special menu delivered by their chef Nicolas Gadomski.
The meal was excellent, starting with a rather nice champagne; the first course was marinated beef accompanied by a very nice Pinot Grigio. Then the main course was a dish of diced lobster with lemon grass, accompanied by an equally good Sauvignon Blanc. Finally we had a lemon meringue accompanied by a Chardonnay.
Although the food was excellent, what marked the meal out was the excellent service from the staff and the nice quiet atmosphere in their bar.
