Piano Grill sur Strasbourg

06/04/2024: Two people, one vegetarian. We asked for one tasting menu, one three courses, as there as only one veg starter and one veg main which, after checking with the chef, was okay, which was nice. Although it is still unfortunate to do menus only per table and not per cover. The food, sadly, was underwhelming. Not bad, but the tastes were fairly flat and unbalanced. The foie gras was surprisingly bland, the fish that was described as both a cod and a catfish was underseasoned and uninventive. The pigeon was cooked perfectly, the condiments and purees that complimented it were old fashioned but nice. The main vegetarian course which was just mixed veg in an unidentifiable vinegar sauce was very unappetizing. The wine accompaniment was hard to understand: 6 courses of food but only 4 wines. None of the wines really seemed to have been matched with the food, especially the white that was meant to accompany two courses. The maître was visibly unhappy with one of us not eating meat, the two waiters spoke virtually no English and seemed semi-professional. For some reason they played Christmas-jazz-music in April. All in all disappointing. But not completely bad.

26/03/2024: Positive points: restaurant open on Tuesday - service, very good dish and dessert - Negative points: the room a little too noisy (and there is a smell of cold ashtrays when entering the restaurant), the very limited menu at lunchtime, the starter too salty, Half-hearted experience. To be tested again in the evening.
