We celebrated our Grandma's 88th birthday here, with the lovely view over the River Scheldt, spotting the passing ships coming up and down the water. We elected both a starter course and a main one, and particularly the sweetbread and the entrecote we strongly recommend. The staff was really friendly, throwing in little jokes while serving the generous portions. Afterwards, because of the birthday, they brought in their own ice-cream, as a treat of the restaurant. Although RAS is quite expensive, I would definitely recommend it if you have something to celebrate :)

Really interesting menu in a lovely location overlooking the river.
Enjoyed the cuckoo but the fish dish was a bit overcooked. Other dishes at our table looked very good.
Nice and efficient staff. Easy parking.

Staff was very friendly, but maybe not all dressed for the type of restaurant they claim to be (understated chic). The starter (vitello tonnato with brioche) was really delicious. The accompanying bread was also very nice (they could offer a second serving). Too bad they couldn’t deliver the same quality further on. The main course (sea bass) was good but definitely nothing remarkable. The desserts however were the real disappointments. The mini dame blanche was not fresh, it was prepared (ice and decoration alike) earlier and placed in the freezer on the plate. The chocolate sauce was barely hot and came 10 minutes late. The RAS dessert was wholesale quality. I also missed some amuses with our aperitif. This should be included at this price point, in stead of some olives that were already on the table.

This restaurant is beautifully located along the banks of the Scheldt, offering lovely views of the river. The atmosphere is cozy, though the tables are quite close together, making it less ideal for a more intimate dining experience. It was also quite warm inside, and the kitchen smells were noticeable in the coat check area, which was a bit off-putting.

Service was acceptable but didn’t meet high standards. As for the food, the Filet Pur I ordered was disappointing and didn’t live up to its name. However, the dessert, a Tarte Tatin, was absolutely delicious. The wine prices seemed excessive, with a bottle of Red Sancerre priced at 50 EUR despite a retail value of 13 EUR.

Overall, I'd give 3 stars for the food and service, but 4 stars for the picturesque location.

Good food in a nice venue on the pier with a great view during the day. A bit deserted at night. We were a big party, but dishes were served quite simultaneously. Some dishes were better presented than others.
