What Brandt Kirlin likes about Forsthaus:
For many years has been fed in the area and never knew about this diamond in the literal grob until recently. When you arrive, feel like returning to a well-preserved German theme resort from the 1950s. The food is traditional German dishes that taste delicious. The mushroom soup was tasty, the salad with homemade dressing was tasty, the sour roasts with sparrow and red cabbage tasty, the almond cake was tasty. Wash... View all feedback. What Kariane Effertz doesn't like about Forsthaus:
It's a funky old place which was nice, had a European feel. Unfortunately, the food was truly awful, burnt onion flavor prevailed. The only decent thing was the red cabbage! Great potential there but need serious help in the kitchen. View all feedback.
