We were immediately offered a quiet spot with very comfortable seating. Shade was immediately provided by a huge parasol. The service is first-class. The owners served us personally and were courteous and incredibly friendly. It felt like we'd been regulars for years. Now for the food: I had a Wiener Schnitzel and my wife had tagliatelle with a cream sauce. I must admit, I've rarely eaten so well. We'll definitely be back! The restaurant also offers space for larger events, such as birthdays or similar, which we will definitely use for my wife's next milestone birthday.

The potato salad was delicious, home-style cooking, with everything mixed together on the grill...unfortunately inedible for me as an allergy sufferer. The service was unfortunately lacking in clarity.

The service staff was, on the one hand, completely overwhelmed, even though the restaurant was almost empty, and, on the other hand, some of them were dressed completely inappropriately for service staff. Half an hour after our arrival, we were asked for drinks. We then requested a drinks menu. Several menus were brought, but they were all different. The highlight was the menu with empty plastic wrappers. Half an hour later, we actually had something to drink. We then ordered food. About 2 hours and 45 minutes after our arrival, the first dishes were brought. Unfortunately, there was no cutlery. After the cutlery was brought, the first people could start eating. Surprise! It wasn 't even lukewarm. Schnitzel, fries, and sauce were cold. The side salad we ordered was actually that. No dressing. We let the young restaurant manager try the food, and he couldn 't help but agree that the food was absolutely cold. After more than three hours, we paid for our drinks and went our separate ways, hungry. We had actually planned to honor our mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother at a family gathering, but that was taken away from us as well. Thank you so much!!! Addendum to our ruined gathering: The following day, I would have liked to speak with the owner. But again, the young restaurant manager was sent forward. Honestly, I felt sorry for him because he had to take the blame. He explained to me that his boss wasn 't able to have a brief conversation with me. She wasn 't in a good mood. Sorry, I wasn 't either, after the experience. But if I, as the owner, am unable to have a brief conversation with a justifiably dissatisfied guest, that should give me pause!!!

All around satisfactory in every way! read more All around satisfactory in every way!

Addendum to our ruined meeting: I would have liked to have spoken to the owner the following day. But again the young restaurant manager was sent ahead. To be honest, I felt sorry for him because he had to hold his head. He explained to me that his boss wasn't able to have a short conversation with me. She wouldn't be in a good mood mentally. Sorry, I wasn't either, after the experience. But if I, as the owner, am not in a position to have a quick conversation with a rightly dissatisfied guest, that should give me something to think about!!!
