Our party of five visited on a busy Saturday night. We were seated promptly and service remained steady throughout the meal. We did, however, wait too long for our cote de boeuf to arrive. I realize that it takes some time to prepare but when you get toe tapping and staring at the kitchen wondering where your food is, you've waited too long. The beef itself was just fine, not on par with New York's Minetta Tavern's cote de boeuf (which I always use a reference point for the dish) but tasty enough especially the bone which we cast aside our manners to devour! The sides are SMALL... super small.... and suggesting that we could share 3 amongst 5 hungry people was a bad move by our server. One little carrot and a slice of onion each doesn't work. We had steak tartare, octopus and oysters for apps and they were all tasty with the octopus being a bit tough. The cocktails were also very good and we also enjoyed an after dinner bourbon with what I consider to be the highlight of the meal... the homemade cookies and booze infused milk. Cool dessert that made it a unique experience. The cheque for 5 was pretty pricey given the amount of food we consumed. Next time I think we'll perhaps opt to each order the burger (which looked amazing) and then go for the cookies. Overall, Bestellen was indeed A-OK... good but room for improvement.
