We were warmly greeted by the hostess who took our coats and seated us in a nearly full but cozy dining room. The service was quick and attentive. We tried a new aperitif, a gin and tonic with raspberry and basil, which was delicious. The menu offered a wide selection of meat and fish dishes, but we ultimately chose the cote à l'os. The presentation and flavors were excellent, and we were impressed when the chef personally carved the meat at our table. Not being wine experts, we asked the hostess for a recommendation and were pleased with the Chilean wine she suggested. For dessert, we tried the gin and tonic sorbet for the first time and loved it. Overall, we were very impressed with the quality of food and service at Priorité dans l'Histoire and highly recommend it. We even had a chance to speak with the hostess and the owner, who mentioned their upcoming wild game season featuring dishes like pheasant, hare, and deer filet. We can't wait to come back and try these special dishes. We give Priorité dans l'Histoire a perfect 10/10 and look forward to returning soon.

This afternoon we came in with 25 years of apple and asked if we could eat anything. Bored the hostess we could eat, but mumbled that she had little staff. Then we were put at a table in a corner because that would be the easiest thing for them, we were treated absolutely, and every question for a drink seemed like a burden. We waited 40 minutes for a piece of chicken and goat cheese. We didn't get an apology that we had to wait so long, that the people in the meantime were mostly gone. When we were afraid to ask. We apologize for short staff. We paid and had to get 20 euros back. We had to ask for a change after a while, and we had to figure out how much we paid too much. Working at the horeca is hard, but you have to treat your clients in every level friendly. The rest of the room was treated very kindly, and we were wondering if it was our age. It would have been more respectful to tell us. That the room was full.

It appeared that the other guests in the restaurant were receiving better service, leading us to question if it was because of our age. It would have been more respectful for the staff to inform us if the restaurant was full, rather than making us feel neglected.

The restaurant offers a very friendly and warm welcome followed by delicious food. read more The restaurant offers a very friendly and warm welcome followed by delicious food.
