Seldom do I find a moment to go out; however, when I do have the opportunity to take some time out of my hectic schedule, I like nothing more than spending an evening at a restaurant. Therefore, when I heard of on the news that a new restaurant called “Delicatessen” had opened near where I live, I was itching to go there. So last week I dropped by there with a friend so as to check it out. In this review I would like to make some comments on my outstanding experience at “Delicatessen” in order to provide your readership with a global view about what they are going to find there, as well as putting forward some ideas which could be taken into consideration to enhance it.

In the first place, I would like to succinctly describe this restaurant in order to put you into context about where I went. It is located in Wagner Street, just in the heart of the city and it is very well connected so you can go by a lot of different ways. Although at first sight a lot of people could think that it is not a good restaurant by its superficial appearance since it does not have luxurious salons or an infinite waiting list either, the truth is that they would completely be barking up the wrong tree because they would be forgetting of its spectacular glazed dining room from where you can enjoy a striking view of the whole city, as well as its impressive cleanliness which become makes “Delicatessen” in one of the most hygienic places where I have been to, and I thoroughly think that all these characteristics are much more valuable and important for a restaurant than some of the stereotyped and predetermined statements that many people spread unintelligently. In addition to this, I would like to point out the joyful and energetic atmosphere that you can breathe there, as “Delicatessen” is always overflowing happy people and just this environment invites you to have a good time.

From my private point of view, what I liked the best was the food. It was delicious and mouth-watering and from the first moment you enter the restaurant you know by aromas which waft from the kitchen and that make you lick your lips in anticipation that you are going to be able to enjoy an appetizing and heavenly meal. Furthermore, the plates were incredibly full, so you can eat to your heart’s content and it is impossible to leave “Delicatessen” hungry. Moreover, another strength that I would like to highlight is the wonderful wide range of dishes they serve from the traditional cooking to the most sophisticated cuisine. Last but not least, I would like to make a special mention to the service, which who always had a smile on their faces and which who was very pleasant and friendly. However, if I had to say a criticism it would be that it is rather expensive and, consequently, there are might might be some people who cannot afford to go and I sincerely believe that it is a pity that such splendid place is a luxury available to few, so my suggestion is that you cheapen reduce the prices so as to become turn “Delicatessen” into a restaurant within everyone’s reach.

In conclusion, although some critics state that “Delicatessen” is only a mediocre and lacklustre local in where it is served what they consider to be is second -rate food that costs an arm and leg and that they affirm it comes badly in comparison with other restaurants that there are in the same location, I fully believe that it is a fantastic place which ticks all the right boxes and I genuinely think that it is likely to be one of the best places in where I have to been to recently.

ASPECTOS A MEJORAR

7. Forget no lleva preposición of.
8. Cuando se habla del service, mejor utilizar who, porque te refieres a las personas, con una smile on their face.
