Recently we had a dinner at this establishment with a large group of around 50 people. While the food was good, especially the sea bass, the service from a certain waiter was unacceptable. He was very difficult to communicate with, acted aggressively towards members of our party, and hadled our requests very unprofessionally. Examples of this were him slamming down a plate of ice cream in front of a man who clearly stated he was lactose intolerant and could not eat the dessert. Additionally, members of the group had to go around themselves to find out everyone’s meal preferences; a job that should likely be conducted by the waitressing staff. Overall, the communication with the restaurant regarding the allergies and meal preferences was very difficult and resulted in us having a different meal than we originally requested. I must say that the rest of the waitressing staff was very kind and helpful so the above comments do not concern them.

We visited Grand Café D'n Ingel (Vrijthof 13, Maastricht, Netherlands) for dinner tonight, choosing it based on the Find Me Gluten Free app and Google reviews. The restaurant had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and while it wasn’t too busy, our evening took an unexpected turn when we spotted a mouse darting across the floor. Trying to brush it off, we continued with our drinks and dinner, which were excellent. Unfortunately, we saw another mouse later on. The waiter hurried over and stomped near it, explaining they were trying to “scare it back into the walls” and that many businesses in the area struggle with mice due to the age of the buildings and the cold weather—it was snowing tonight. Now, about the food—because that part was fantastic: - My partner had the **beef filet**, perfectly cooked and flavorful. - I enjoyed the **pork medallions wrapped in bacon** with gluten-free fries, and the staff took great care to ensure my meal was safe for my dietary needs. - Our friend opted for the **halibut**, which was also a hit. For dessert, we shared the **gluten-free vegan cheesecake**, which was absolutely divine, while our friend had the **apple pie**, a beautiful and tempting treat. While the meal was delicious, the appearance of “Remy and his sous-chefs” (a nod to Ratatouille) was hard to overlook. Sadly, after reading other reviews, I noticed another guest mentioned the same issue *seven months ago*—and they even included a video of a mouse scurrying about. It’s clear this problem hasn’t been addressed, which is disappointing, as it overshadows what could have been an exceptional dining experience.
