It is indeed in a touristy area, but after having walked a few dozen miles in Prague already, on the last night, close proximity and convenience trumps everything else. We made a reservation online and when we arrived we were promptly led to a table in white tablecloth right next to the window in the dining room. For appetizer, we shared a dozen SNAILS - yes, in Prague, even in a French restaurant, they call them snails, not escargots. In fact, Central Europeans had a long tradition of eating snails even before the French made this delicacy famous. The escargots, ok..., snails, were cooked in rich garlic butter mixed with parsley (that's what the green stuff is just in case you are wondering.) They were delicious, and almost as good as those from the streets of Paris. The CHATEAUBRIAND was brought to us on a carving board together with bone marrow, side dishes of vegetables and mashed potatoes, and a sauce boat full of yummy peppery gravy. Our server carved the beef nicely and plated the dishes meticulously at our table side. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender and very flavorful. We could easily tell this was top quality filet mignon and nothing less than the best cut. For the side dishes, I particularly liked the mashed potatoes which tasted like they were made with fresh and naturally creamy potatoes. The peppercorn sauce was rich but not overwhelming, subtly complementing the natural flavor of the steak. Service was 5-star throughout our meal. It began with a complimentary "water melon with bacon" palate cleanser, and ended with complimentary house-made chocolate at the conclusion of our meal. Service was attentive, friendly, prompt but not rushed, and literally white-glove throughout the night. You want me to give you a reason for visiting Brasserie La Gare, or Prague in general? This meal, including two large beers and two glasses of reasonably good wine, cost less than CZK 2,000 which is about US$90. Wanna go?

We were so looking forward to dinner at your beautiful restaurant, which I booked many months in…read moreadvance on my daughter's recommendation. At first we were thrilled with our server's recommendations and excellent attention, as well as with the cocktails, food, and gorgeous ambiance. The problem occurred toward the end of the evening. Our server cleared our dishes and asked if we were interested in dessert. We said we would be happy to consider the choices. He left us and got busy with another party, which we understood, so waited for about 20 minutes. One of his colleagues passed by and we mentioned that we were waiting. We saw her tell our server, who still did not make time to check in with us. After waiting even longer, one member of our party--originally from England, which becomes important later--got up, found the server, and asked if we could get the dessert menu. Finally he came to our table. He did not apologize for the wait (all he needed to say was that he had gotten swamped, and we would have been fine with that small explanation). Instead, he said, "The hardest part is waiting," mentioned there is no actual dessert menu, then left and came back with a board showing us some of the desserts, explaining what they were. He was obviously irritated with us and so we opted to end the evening and asked for the check. He brought it quickly and pointedly explained that we could tip him. We were uninterested in rewarding his rudeness and did not tip him. Then he insultingly said to our English friend, who was paying: "I didn't think you had an American accent." This was so unprofessional. We go out of our way to be gracious when we travel, not wanting to be seen as "ugly Americans." We tip almost everyone and generously. Your server's increasing rudeness and growing irritation with us was completely uncalled for, and we are so disappointed to have this memory of an otherwise wonderful few days in your beautiful city.

Much thanks to the staff about are absolutely fantastic and all our guests are impressed with the service we all got that night. The food was well cooked and tastefully presented on the plate, served on hot plates. The glasses were always filled with drinks. The serving of the food was always very well planned. A year later we were back in Prague and booked 'dinner in the tower "to experience the memories and the good food again. In stairs, the staff lit candles, and it was really magical to walk up the stairs. Once up there we are faced by a beautifully set table. We enjoyed a delicious 3 course dinner and the food and staff were like amazing as the last time. I had also ordered by mail a month before the dinning a mini of our wedding cake as dthey make itself was very curious if it would work. They had even looked up our wedding date, and sat on the cake, really that little ekstra. We was in heven. The view from the tower is unique, you have the whole of Prague for your feet!

The food was phenomenal and prices were very reasonable. To start, we got the variation platter. Such a great way to get a little taste of everything. The roast beef and beetroot were my favorites. The beef tartar was good as well but very rich. We were also given a basket of bread with a butter that tasted like it was meat infused. That was bomb. I had to limit myself so I had room for the main dish! The roasted duck breast was oh so good. The duck itself was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. The sweet potato purée was heavenly. The glaze sauce on the duck was a bit sweet especially with the sweet potato, but still a great dish overall.
