Highlander Steakhaus - Lachendorf

Looking for the website of the restaurant Highlander I stumbled over this review portal and decided to add my need at short notice. But back to the beginning. We were invited to a family meeting in this restaurant. The first impression was somewhat surprising. They know various steak houses and their rustic furniture with dimmed light and a cozy atmosphere. But here everything was different, more modern, brighter. As we learned below, an Italian cooking team had worked here before. In part, this optical influence was still recognizable, but he began to develop a Scottish character. But the highlander is also called the special steakhouse. We were surprised. Our table was clear and objectively covered. There was no Damast table linen or silverware, but I don't want to. The menu not only had to be brought into twelve copies, but was in the form of a set before each guest. This has enabled you to access it again and again during the evening. The offer was not exaggerated, but there was everything I expected in a steak house. And even something special I had never heard before, namely Steak von Highland Rind (so the name of the local). Only hard alcoholics had to be asked orally, but there was also a personal advice from the nice young service. But later. The food was rated very well by everyone. The steaks were as ordered, either English, medium or through. The meat was tender and tasty, as usual in a steak house. The supplements such as potato, pommes, herbal butter etc. were served, only the salad was available as a self-service at the buffet. It's like standing on the buffet, not the other one. Personally, I think it's good if I can choose what I like. The buffet could look a little inconspicuous, but actually everything was necessary for a salad. This is also a question of taste. The dessert I ordered consisted of two different mouths (if you write the majority? and vanilla ice cream, was beautifully decorated and absolutely delicious. The drinks were normal, you can't do much wrong either. But the digestive schnapps we had to ask, and now came the advice mentioned above. I chose a tequila and should choose between clear with salt and lemon or brown with cinnamon and orange. The young lady who, as I learned later, is also a professional cocktail mixer, gave me in her charming way the right hints for my choice (salt and lemon). All in all, it was really a successful restaurant visit, and when the opportunity came, we wanted to come back a few days later. This time we were four and we were as happy as the first time. I decided to try the steak of Highland Rind this time. And I have to say it's really worth it. It is a tasteful difference to normal steak. I can't describe it, I'm not a professional restaurant critic. But I would order this meat at any time. Unfortunately, I don't know another restaurant where Highland Rind is on the menu. Conclusion: The ambience of the restaurant is still in the development phase, but you can look quietly into the future. This is because there is no steakhouse chain, but here the boss puts on his own hand and thus also brings personal flair into the interior design. The food is very good and can compete with any other steakhouse. Beverages are normal, is not different to expect. Prices are reasonable, also usual steakhouse levels. The service is excellent and who is not satisfied should stay at home. Personally, I still lack something, a website I haven't found yet. I hope this is also in construction, because how should you point out to your friends a new discovery?

Delicious steaks and other delicacies. Also the large selection of whisky is highly recommended. In addition, there is the possibility to host family celebrations. Also salads quite delicious with different dips.

To describe the catastrophe in a sentence, the ambience is mediocre, the food is not good and we will not go a third time. But from the start. In September 2013, in the premises of the former Al Dente (Mediterran der Highlander as (some other Steak house with Scottish flair). I was very happy to gather my family to see what has changed in the opening week and what is now deliciously cooked. Something else and schotically sounded quite promising. Thus, the misery took its course when the building entered because nothing was changed in the entrance area that already needed a complete renovation at Al Dentes. A bad omen! In the big (75 places destined restaurant was just another table occupied, we could choose our place ourselves. Due to the fact that even the terracotta-colored walls of the predecessor were not changed, even with some highlands pictures and Scottish Dudelsack Music did not want to show up any Great Britian feeling. At the sight of the pure white tablecloths with the small green paper napkins, I immediately felt German markers, sorry... Unfortunately, the young, consistently friendly service was completely overwhelmed by my question of an aperitif and could only deny this, you did not have this on offer. The question of Scottish or at least in-house recommendations was also answered only with sad head shakes. So it doesn't matter if there was a round of pilgrims... the wine was only available in 4 varieties I didn't want to taste. So, but now finally the menu! Oops, nö did not give, the complete restaurant offer was set in the form of a simple printed paper table right in front of me. Pure disappointment, no appetizers, two boring soups, a selection of meat known from any steakhouse, no supplements (no dessert or nothing but mischievous. The friend explained the principle. You can get the meat, and the supplements as well as salad and dessert can then get off the buffet for 9.90€. First salad and just before the meat arrived, it would be divorced and you could get the supplements. Hm, I didn't want anything from the buffet, I can't suffer a buffet! I don't want to go through the restaurant with a plate. I just want to get bims and salad to steak and this is served. Not possible, the friend explains again with sad look. Okay, then buffet. Tomate, Gurke, Paprika, etc. Leaf salad mixture from the bag, finished dressing somehow I was already fed. Short time later, much too short time later for my medium rarely ordered filetsteak, the message came to get supplements. Sharp potatoes in bag Bechamel, bag China vegetables (Note, we are still on the new bulkhead! , Tetrapack sauce... not, then I'd rather have a few tomatoes and to the table where our meat plates were alone. Like my steak was absolutely raw inside, no English, but less than Bleu, cool house cold! The grilled duck breast of Schatzi a small continuous gray (microwave? Something that the Spareribs did not define very taste-neutral without marinade, only the hoof steak of my daughter had the right cooking point (Applause? and was good. Red cap from the bucket with tetravanilla sauce was offered for dessert at the buffet. No, thanks. The catastrophe ended with the fact that I could not pay with the map, which was unfortunately nowhere known. Then I was kinder and confidently pressed the account number with Bon into my hand, with the request to transfer as soon as possible. But what I did to notice that it was not ours, but obviously the account of the neighboring table. Overall, this did not take so much (so I did not immediately notice it, so no matter, proved and beaten. Not quite, I was with my daughter a second time (26.01). From the mistakes of beginners and second chances... But no, no, except that the bufett cost only 7.90€ in addition, hang at the entrance a note with not possible card payment, and there were some new accesses in the restaurant nothing really changed. The fillet again ordered medium rare, was again raw inside and the lamb fillets with herbal crust proved to be fried in a simple carving and with clear skin casting. I can't imagine what's going on with this concept. And if so, without us!

Again very, very great. The food is always very tasty and a lot. The staff is friendly and competent. Although a single lady serves, fast and good advice.

Excellent food, all were very satisfied. We had to wait a bit, but everything is very fresh and prepared with love. We will definitely come back!! !
