El Dorado Steakhouse - Xanten

The salad was tasteless and watery, I don't think it was fresh and the main course, I had a Schnitzel, had a funny after-taste. Unfortunarey, my friends all shared the same view.

Good value, good food. Pleasant service and well located. Complimentary sherry etc provided with meal when we were there.

The interior of this restaurant was fitted out in the same style as the 'Argentina Steak House ' in Bielefeld, but I don 't believe they are under the same ownership. The first thing I must acknowledge is that the service was excellent and we were provided with a complimentary Sherry before the meal and a small pear liqueur before leaving. However, I was a little surprised at how extensive the menu choices were (thinking of Gordon Ramsey 's sage advice to concentrate on what you do well) and ultimately I think the extraordinarily wide range of food on offer probably detracts from the overall quality. We were thankful that we skipped a starter (opting for the free salad bar) because the main course portions were gigantic. The steaks were OK but the choice of red wines was somewhat limited and there was no Malbec on offer (i.e. the prefect companion to a good steak). Overall we were a little disappointed with our dining experience, even taking into account the good service and the complimentary drinks.

Day of Christmas. The service was very bad, inconspicuous and unfriendly. The steaks were good, but that was the only one. Services

Delicious food. And wealthy portions of Food: 5 Service 5 Atmosphere: 5
