Senator-Haz

DE Although warmly decorated, the rooms – if not the whole hotel – are clearly in need of renovation. We were there in December, and the restaurant was unpleasantly cold. The food was disappointing: oversized portions, served unlovingly and of low quality. Less would definitely be more here. The staff are friendly but can't make up for the overall bad impression. HU Bár aranyosan van berendezve, a szobák – ha nem az egész hotel – egyértelműen felújításra szorulnak. Decemberben voltunk ott, az étteremben, kulönous reggel kellemetlenül hideg volt. Az étel csalódást keltő: túl nagy adagok, emiatt nem szép a tálalás és gyenge minőség. A személyzet kedves, de sajnos ez sem tudja ellensúlyozni az összességében negatív benyomást.

We went on a trip to Eger last Wednesday, and after visiting Eger Castle, we stopped here in the Senator House Bistro for lunch. We arrived before 1 pm and took a seat on the terrace. When the young waiter took our order, I asked how long do we have to wait for lunch, he said about 15 minutes, maximum 20 minutes. Since we ordered ready-made food, this time frame was acceptable. I ordered Spaghetti Bolognese, and "A" Menu, which included Chicken ragout soup, and Salmon Penne, and two soft drinks. After half an hour I told the waiter that, the 10 years old child with me was already very hungry, he promised to tell the kitchen. Another 10 minutes he brought the soup, the another 15 minutes later the main course. The Chicken ragout soup had an average taste, was medium thick, contained thinly sliced carrots, green peas and a few small fingertip-sized pieces of meat, which was not typical of chicken meat, but more like pieces of fish. This can be easily distinguish because they differ significantly in texture and taste. It's likely that the chef or cook didn't distribute the chicken properly, and in the end, there was no chicken left, so he replaced it with pieces of fish. The shef supervises the preparation of dishes, ensuring quality and quantity. The Salmon Penne was a bit tasteless, if they had added pepper and parmesan cheese, the dish would have been tastier. The Spaghetti Bolognese was tasty, made according to a classic recipe. The service was kind and polite, but very slow.
