"I was attracted to this restaurant because of the obvious all you can eat meal that was on offer and so I did have the slight thought of what was the catch. Without doubt, the restaurant looked nice, the menu had great variety, and the staff were friendly. There was even one particular pleasant waitress who was kind enough to persevere in conversing with us in English since being the typically British, I tend not to learn other peoples ' languages well or really at all. We received the gimmicky tablet computer where my wife and I were able to make our selections from the food menu, and once we had selected the 5 dishes each that we were allowed per round, we simple confirmed our order and wait for it to be served. The food is indeed tasty. All the hot dishes that we ordered arrived very promptly and you could tell they were fresh. So too was the sushi, but... I would have to concur with the other reviews that have been posted and that there was an extremely disproportionate amount of time when waiting for the sushi to arrive. The tablet computer actually shows you how much time you have been seated at your table. And so, just to break things down, our order could have been broken down to 2 rounds, both with hot dishes and some sushi in each round (and remember, the dishes in these places are small plates) and the timer on the tablet said 87 minutes before completion of our last order... The place was not too busy so really it was inexcusable to have to wait so long when in other Japanese restaurants where if I had ordered the same dishes in an a la carte menu, we would would have normally been done within an hour. If the restaurant can just get the timing right, this place would be absolutely superb. However, as the customers who come in are usually going to care most about the food than anything else, if it comes too late, even if it does not matter that it is cold, then you are going to have disgruntled customers. We were not disgruntled when we left, but sadly, it is not a place I could really recommend at the moment."

"Cookie Jar is a small café in a side street of Rüttenscheider Straße in Essen Rüttenscheid. From the location in the center of Rüttenscheids quite well. As a hint: finding a parking place there is sometimes a matter of luck : According to their own statement, the café was opened by two sisters at the beginning of 2017 who wanted to make their hobby a profession, because they like cupcakes and want to share it with everyone. We were there for a cupcake course. These courses may take place regularly on Saturday mornings. In addition, there is probably the possibility to book courses at different events, for example for bachelor parties, childbirth days etc. (optional by the owner to get customers for children's birthdays: so all the legs are diligently wide. According to the owner of the café, these courses are designed for 8 10 people. However, 20 people were there on this course day. Even though 3 people have merciful and wanted to come back at another date, it was far too full. The owner, however, already knew about this problem on the eve and unfortunately did not do anything to make the most of the situation (e.g. prepare more cupcakes, provide equipment accordingly or simply cancel people or at least not withdraw the cancellations. All participants were divided into 4 groups. During the course each group produced two freezings (fresh cheese and butter cream and a dough for muffins. Finally, the muffins prepared the day before were decorated. The muffins are made with dinkel flour, which, in my opinion, makes them harder and less fluffy, but this is a matter of taste. Butter cream is also not made from butter, but from margarine, because the owner does not like the butter taste. To decorate with the cream there were freezer bags with hole there (on request to decorate 4 tulle, of which were broken. For further ornaments, however, there was a large selection of sugar spices and cookies. The dough produced by the students was baked however to sell it later as their own products. The dough kneaders wore gloves, but... For hygienic and above all qualitative reasons at least very questionable. Especially a pity for students, because there were too little muffins and then not the variety that the groups had chosen. Summary of the cupcake course: much too many people, too little space, not enough equipment, only 1 3 muffins per person. The owner was not very well prepared, which she had with individual, puffed and otherwise justified. She also carried her bad mood to the outside. The floor in the store was extremely dirty and, according to the owner's statement, not completely finished or rebuilt as they were only in the store since January (i.e.: for 6 months. The course was with 25€ per person via a voucher portal (normal price is twice as high, much, much too expensive. Unfortunately, I can't recommend the cafe quietly. PS: As for the overbooking of the course, the owner shoved all guilt of herself and called the voucher portal as a debtor. Can be true, of course, but she has not done any great attempts to get everything really well. This appointment was also the second appointment we had booked with her. The first appointment was cancelled 3 days ago on the ground that we are on holiday. PPS: the courses may run better on other days or regular business..."

"Since we were invited to a baptism for dinner for the afternoon, which was so located from the time that we were able to go on in the late morning and then take a little lunch in Essen, I was looking for a nice place near the Taufkirche at RK. The choice fell on the Omero. On the one hand, because it is really around the corner, on the other hand, because there were already a few promising reviews. With the Navi, the Porthofplatz was quickly found and due to the large parking lot located directly in front of the restaurant no larger foot marches were necessary. When you enter the restaurant you are practically standing right in front of the counter. There are a number of tables with curved benches, rather in a bar than in a restaurant. To the left around the corner there are other tables, as well as a passage to a covered terrace. The restaurant had only opened this day shortly before and we were the first customers at that time. Over the next hour, however, the restaurant filled very quickly and was filled as we broke up well half. Service Immediately entering the restaurant we were greeted by a middle-aged man in civilian clothing from which I accept that he is the boss of the house is very friendly. While we were thinking where we wanted to sit, the terrace was recommended, which we had not seen before. We were quickly convinced by the cozy presentation and decided to have a table in the corner. Shortly after we sat the menus, including a depositor, were served with today's daily offers. After a small waiting period, the boss came back and asked the orders. We chose: Lasagne with calfsbolognese 10, € Pizza Paesana with tuna and red onions 6,50 € Tagliolini with plums and cattle fillet tips 12,90 € Organic salmon fillet with plums 16,90 € Add to this: 2 Cola and 1 Spezi je 0,3l 2,20 € 1 alcohol-free wheat table 4, € A few time after our order has been asked, the beverages To our surprise, after a few minutes, we were brought to the table a plate of freshly cut Mortadella with the note that it would be particularly good with bread. I had not had such a nice attention so far. Now the place gradually filled. In the way that the boss or the now additionally present female service welcomed the guests, it is assumed that about half of the guests are regular visitors to this place. I noticed particularly positively that although the regular guests are handled very carefully, they are not neglected with the other guests. I hope so. For a great praise from me. We had to wait a little for our food, but the short waiting period was to be taken into account by the bread that had been served in advance with the various additions. After the food was with us for a while and we started eating, we were asked again if everything was okay. After dinner it then took a little before the empty plates with the new question whether it tasted have cleared. Our question of what there would be as a dessert was referred to the card and brought to the table to us the same, beaten up on the Dessert side. There was also unquestioned information that the desserts would also like to be small portions. Also a great praise for it. Our children opted for: Cassata Siciliana 8,50 € The parents each ordered an espresso á 2,30 € Also the desserts and the espressi came after a pleasant waiting period. When we finally paid, we were asked again whether we were satisfied with everything. Before we could say something to adults, our youngster burst out with the phrase: “That was the best food I ever had in a restaurant.” At least I believe that today the service really likes to get 5 stars from me. The food bread with gifts:The Bread that was brought to the table before eating is already worth mentioning. Obviously even baked, wonderfully loose, not too dry and salted enough. My wife, who for several years has baked our bread herself, nodd with his head. There were also green olives in small bowls, a yogurt herbal dip and tomato salad. Later, as mentioned above, a plate with Mortadella came. The olives were very tasty, not cheap glassware. The yogurt herbal dip should have been salted a little more, but otherwise nice creamy and fresh. The tomato salad of finely diced tomatoes, made with olive oil, salt, pepper and a few herbs, was the perfect companion to the delicious bread. Actually a very nice Bruscetta kit. At the Mortadella I was initially skeptical, as I only knew it from the past as a shopkeeper from the local supermarket. This one was extremely good. Softly cut, with fine bacon pieces and pistachios. If I hadn't been so happy about the main dish, I'd rather have cleaned the sausage completely. Lasagne with Kalbsbolognese:The Lasagne was the choice of our youngest. When the plate came to the table, I was hoping for an early saturation of the son, but was unfortunately disappointed. There were two pieces of lasagna covered with the fragrant sauce on the plate and covered with some coarse parmesan tops. The noodles were with pleasant light bite, the sauce had a perfect fleshy aroma and was of a beautiful creaminess. Unfortunately, Junior just let me try once. There was nothing left. Pizza Paesana with tuna and red onions The pizza, the choice of the larger son, was also a bit small at first glance, but was completely sufficient. At the pizza there was the only little manko of this food. The perfectly round form betrayed: it was baked in a pizza form. The dough was a bit too thick, but without being diligent. The floor was crispy and loose. Tastefully also very delicious. The pizza was evenly well covered. The whole thing was well seasoned and liked to be eaten. Tagliolini with seedlings and rind fillet tips: My wife's main dish was nice to try more than once. The very good noodles were optimally cooked, with beautiful bite. The fillet tips were fried very briefly and were then allowed to move in the sauce. So they had light roasting sites without too much to cook. The pifferlings nicely roasted and all together in a wonderfully creamy sauce, which blends perfectly with the noodles and narrowed. In addition, coarse planing chips were distributed from Parmesan. Biolachs mit Pfifferlingen:I ordered this court with the thought that it had been enough for this year. Well, if I knew I'd get her that way again, I guess I'd order her again. On the plate were a quite large piece of salmon, some vegetables Romanesco, sugar chovies and carrots, a few potato pieces, as well as a generous portion of pifferlings distributed over the salmon still provided with the skin. The salmon was almost perfect but a little too fried. It tasted very aromatic, not daring at all, and was still slightly glazed unfortunately a little too little. The vegetables and the potatoes were handcrafted well, but besides fish and pifferlings they only played the statist role. The mushrooms were finally well roasted here, not only warmed. That is, they had light redness without losing their own aroma. A perfect combination with the salmon. Apple Sorbet, Cassata, Espresso: The Sorbet 2 large balls was served in a high bronze cell. It tasted like real apples, not apple flavour. The ice crystals were very fine and there were still small apple pieces. To Cassata, I can't say if it was like a real Cassata, because I hadn't eaten such until then. A high cake piece Cassata was served together with fresh fruits and a vanilla sauce mirror. The Cassata was delicious creamy, without ice crystals with a few but very good pieces of candied fruits. The espresso was just like him. Hot, strong, aromatic and with beautiful crema. I had to think about it for a long time and I'm really hard to do it, but I think I'd do this place wrong if I didn't give 5 stars here. I evaluate the PLV with 4 stars. The ambience If I had to evaluate only the terrace, I would also come to 5 stars. The division inside, and the right area, which is more reminiscent of a cocktail bar, do not create that. That's how I get to 3.5 stars. Cleanliness All Picobello, also the toilets. 5 stars"
