Veranda-Bar - Neuchâtel

Wir haben in der Veranda Bar auf der Terrasse zu Abend gegessen. Die eine Vorspeise war sehr gut, die zweite mittelmässig. Bei den Hauptspeisen war die eine essbar, die zweite ungeniessbar. Wir mussten auf Vorspeise und Hauptspeise je ca eine Dreiviertelstunde warten. Das Warten hat sich nicht gelohnt. Die eine Speise ein Burger für 35 .- war trocken, die Sosse eklig und die Pommes weich. Nachdem ich meine Kritik mitgeteilt habe ist nichts passiert, erst nach Nachfrage ist der chef de Service vorbeigekommen und hat mir vorgeworfen, dass ich mich umgehend hätte melden müssend, dass es am kalten Wind liegt, dass das Essen so sei wie es ist. Dies ist nicht die Antwort die man als frustrierter Gast erwartet. Das Lokal ist aus meiner Sicht schlecht geführt, das Personal schlecht geschult. Das Essen hat für zwei Personen mit Getränken 150.- gekostet, und steht Qualitativ in gar keiner Relation zum Preis.

A pleasant place to sit with beautiful view on the lake, but clearly overwhelmed, although it seemed a high number of waiting staff and only about 2/3 of the tables were full. We waited to get menus and our order. We waited longer for our food (almost an hour). When the order came, it was wrong. All tables around us complained about the service and the restaurant. We waited again to order the bill. We waited something, the bill didn't come. We asked the waiter for the bill again, wait 20-30 minutes. Although we have not made a comment, he must have seen our impatient faces, because he had the cheek to tell us you know if you don't ask for the bill, then we don't bring it automatically! When we remembered that we had already ordered the bill and he had forgotten, he was quite embarrassing. For us it was just too much to get Wange from the waiter after such a terrible service. I sincerely hope we never have to go to this restaurant again. The prices are too high for what it is.

The food was great. We tried the cattle and fish burgers, beef and salmon stars. Everything was delicious, including the frits that came with every meal. Service was friendly and attentive. They were a little slow with the bill, but it was pretty full and busy. All in all, we had a wonderful meal with a beautiful view of the lake.

We waited for 25 min that someone only take an order to say that they do not take orders as a kitchen only closed!

From drinks at the bar to lunch on the veranda, it was a very pleasant experience. Service was a bit slow at times, but with the view to enjoy, it was not an issue.
