"Hubby and I decided to revisit the restaurant for lunch after our original visit in the summer. The restaurant is styled like a safari lodge and overlooks the zebras, antelope and gnu enclosure, which is pretty neat. The place serves steakhouse fare, pretty much in line with what you would expect from a good steakhouse in the US. Along with that, they have a cheeseburger, a pasta dish, a chicken dish, a crab cake appetizer, and a selection of salads on the menu. Hubby ordered the burger which comes with fries and I ordered the crab cakes with a side of sweet potato fries. The burger was good, my sweet potato fries were great, the crab cakes not so much. Now, I didn't expect Maryland style crab cakes, nevertheless when you're paying €16.90 for three marble sized crab cakes, peas should play no role in the list of ingredients. Neither should broccoli. I had the feeling that the kitchen used whatever leftover vegetables they had handy in the making of these crab cakes. However, I ate them and basically noted to myself not to ever order them again should we return, when the waitress came to clear the table and asked us how everything had been. Foolish little me actually had the temerity to tell her that I had not liked the crab cakes. I had them during our previous visit and their composition had not included peas. Big mistake! She disdainfully lectured me that the chef always makes them that way and I was definitely mistaken and rushes off with a sneer on her face never to come near our table again. Granted, I would be hard pressed to come up even with a list of ingredients from last night's dinner, but peas in crab cakes is just so odd it imprints itself on the brain. However, not even the point. She could have just politely acknowledged my complaint and no harm done. When we spend €60 for lunch, along with the food, we expect a certain level of service and that doesn't include having a waitress starting with us. We will not return."
