Boon

I was recently taken to Boon by a business colleague. One could walk by this place many times and not even notice it is there. It is sort of hidden. If I hadn’t been taken there by a «local», I never would have stumbled upon it myself. It was just the two of us and we were able to get seated with no difficulty on a Wednesday night.
Inside, it is stylish and larger than it appears from the sidewalk. The front room, where we were seated, is noisy. I wouldn’t recommend it for quiet conversation. The back of the restaurant is somewhat quieter.
There were some reasonably priced wines by the glass. I had the sangiovese which was quite good. I started with the Bruschetta and my companion started with a special appetizer which was a duck crêpe of some kind. I liked mine, he didn’t particularly like his. As for dinner, we both had a special — Venison (hertenvlees?) which was prepared with a really rich sauce which was fruit-​based and served with chips (french fries). This special was wonderful! Absolutely delicious.
What didn’t go so well — the service was really slow. The restaurant wasn’t that busy but it took them much too long to bring out our main course. Water glasses weren’t refilled and we couldn’t get a hold of our waiter very easily. This is too bad. The food was very good and I would have given this place four stars if nto for the slow service. We skipped dessert since it took them so long to serve us.
However, next time I’m in town, I would give the place another try. The food was too good to pass up.
