Reef And Beef - Düsseldorf

This steakhouse is the best in Dusseldorf in terms of the quality of meats that are served, but with all that is good, comes a hefty price tag. To give you...

Very good address and advises given by the waiter. For me is the first contact very important in entering a restaurant. And my first impressions were that...

Best filet steak of my entire life! It was as soft and smooth as truffle chocolate. I don't remember having the need to chew it, it felt like it just melted...

We visited this hidden gem' on a strong recommendation that the food and general ambience were excellent. Indeed, the food was excellent. We both had a steak that appeared sizzling on a hot plate. Accompanying vegetables and sides were well prepared and the steaks were...cooked precisely as requested. Wines were good and the place had a quality, slightly cosy, quirky feel to it. So everything was good right? Well, not really as there was definitely something missing. We reflected on this during the evening and decided that the whole experience was let down by inexperienced staff. Whilst the staff didn't do anything we could call wrong, were always polite, and when you could get their attention and did ask them something they did everything well enough, the real problem was that in a restaurant of this quality (read cost) and pretention you should be expecting a much higher and much more personal level of service than we actually received. This left us deciding that the expensive deserts were not worth the effort, wait or price and we left to drop into Zurheide and grab some chocolate fondant and ice (which was gorgeous btw)

Sister restaurant of The Classic Western Steakhouse and the menu is very similar. I will say the same thing about both restaurants my favourite cut of steak is rib-eye but the one they serve here is far too lean for my taste one...of the reasons I love rib-eye is the lumps of fat and the delicious texture that fat marbled all through the meat gives it. A lean version just doesn’t deliver what I expect. However, I have discovered that the filet is excellent. The wine list is also very extensive. I like the fact you can chose your sides and they have a good range of vegetable or salad options which is pretty unusual for Germany. I prefer the atmosphere in The Classic Western Steakhouse but it is usually easier to get a table in here. Recommended for steak lovers!
