The restaurant is inside the Crown Plaza airport hotel. We were correctly shown to a table that was reserved for us outside at the waterfront. Menu only accessible by scanning a QR code. Not very easy to browse through and select drinks and/or wines. Menu is oké to select because it’s quite compact in choice. Quality of the food is good but it’s strange that a Thai fish curry is served without any vegetable, just a piece of monk fish (although perfectly cooked) in a nice creamy curry sauce with plain white rice. The grilled (whole) sea bream was good, served with Brunoise in olive oil and white rice, but it was nothing special that I also could have made myself at home. From the three desert choices only two were available so I skipped mine. Overall nice but not good enough to go.

After several very satisfying visits, this last experience was rather disappointing = we choose various tapas as starters (guacamole, humus, piquillos ....)which were delicious but for the main course we decided on shrimp croquettes (which we had already taken in the past) and these were just horrible : outside hardly fried and not crispy but weak, inside a mealy pasta with only a few shrimps ! also no fried parsil which us a must - when we mentioned our disappointment to the waiter he replied "they are now home made and should be like that" my reply : the cook should do some training in Ostend ! We very much regret this evolution

The drinks menu didn’t carry my order, (Oban). Took forever to get seated although we had made a reservation. Wait service was chaotic with different waiters for every course. Food took a long time to come out and was mediocre, at best. Had to wait more than 30 minutes for my wife’s dessert order to come. I had to ask 3 times where it was. My limoncello was warm and my espresso was cold! My whiskey I order at the end of the meal never arrived. For 157 € was a terrible experience. We picked the Crowne Plaza Airport Brussels because it had a nice lol and ambiance for the restaurant. We are staying for a week, and boy did we pick wrong!

We went for a date night out, after a hard day of work. Very friendly staff, beautiful interior design, comfortable seats, dining area. The restaurant is located in the Crown Plaza Hotel Brussels airport. We ordered a mocktail and a cocktail. Very tasty, surprising flavors, our waiter Romuald (if I'm right) explained in a very professional but funny way how the cocktail is made, he was always available and the service went very smooth. As a main dish we took the Beef tartar and a club sandwich. The beef was cut a bit roughly, I would prefer it in smaller pieces. But the seasoning was nice with the cilantro and lumpfish eggs, salad and fries. Club sandwich was tasty. Price - quality a very good brasserie with friendly staff, beautiful interior. We would definitely come back in the summer to test their terrace, garden.

Food was good - location perfect as it was close to the J&J offices. Sad thing was that 1 person had to check with the waiter why her food was so delayed. But nice of restaurant to offer a drink on the house.

From the website, you could not see that this is a restaurant situated within the Crown Plaza hotel. Athmosphere is a bit cold and some of the staff is close to arrogant. Choice of drinks and food is interesting.

friendly and stylish service, excellent food, setting is efficient and well adapted to corona requirements, unfortunately there were very few guests so the environment was a bit coolish
