Magoosh Grill-Restaurant-Bar - Zürich

I can't take a position to eat here as it didn't even come to a reservation. the restaurant was not accessible via online reservation, telephone or mail. very bad, as it has made a good impression online.

Ambience:Very disappointing evening. We went on a Saturday night, having booked in advance. We needn't have bothered as there was hardly anyone there, with only about 3 tables sat.The atmosphere was quiet.Service:Despite the near emptiness, the service was extremely slow, taking well over 2 hours for us to be served a starter and a main and some sides, and even then one of the side dishes was forgotten (though apparently it was suddenly remembered again when the bill came.) The waiter was also rather unusual, to the point of being rude, and made the experience somewhat uncomfortable. Despite there being only 3 tables sat, we only saw him at our table every 20-30 minutes to serve us.The red wine arrived warm, and needed to be put in an ice bucket.Food:Expensive and disappointing. The starter (a platter to be shared between 2 persons) was actually quite tasty, however a very hot pepper was thrown in there with no indication of just how hot it was. That was an unpleasant surprise...The rib-eye steak was fine, but fairly average for the 62fr price. It was at least cooked as I ordered. The side dish of sweet-potato puree was far too creamy and rich, to the point of being sickly.

We had received a personal confirmation of the reservation for the birthday dinner and then stood before closed doors: business holidays!? ! Such unprofessional behavior is simply not possible!

Specialising in grills, Magoosh offers a range of steaks including bison, and also less exotic choices. The essence of their cooking is to provide simple food cooked to perfection. Our first experience was so good that we went back a second evening to enjoy a different meal. One exceptional feature is that for wine by the glass, you can have your choice of any wine on the reasonably extensive list, so this gives a fantastic choice of wine by the glass - great for those who do not want to drink too much

The whole evening was very disappointing. it started already at the bar at the aperetif. since the bartender was absent this evening, you could only order simple drinks. the served apero plate was however excellent. hardly too table offered us the waiter that various meals are already out. to the appetizer two of us ordered a burrata, which smelled quite like fish and was not really spiced. we waited for the lead almost a beaten hour, although the restaurant was not full. the ordered bark fillet with home sauce was extremely sharp (one was not pointed out) the calfskin was not served with the desired garspot and not seasoned well. the wolfsbarsch with fois gras was also disappointing, especially the fois gras was inedible (finished product!.?) the supplements were all fad. the thunfisch tataki was still served frozen. this was returned and instead of it the giant crivets were ordered, even here they were still raw. as a disappointment we were offered a desservariation, also these tastefully disappointing. the red wine ordered was served ice-cold. For these prices, fresh products are expected, but the impression was here that many finished products were used.
