When the waiter deigned to leave off chatting with his pals at other tables, he brusquely took our order. The food was dropped on the table with no napkins, no silverware,...no side plates and no salt or pepper. And it tasted like it had come from the freezer aisle of the local supermarket. Yes it's on the water (by the ferry docks for you diesel fume fans), but a view isn't everything.

Bad food and most of all awful service. Don’t be fooled by the decent prices as you will be feeling worse when leaving than before arriving. read more Bad food and most of all awful service. Don’t be fooled by the decent prices as you will be feeling worse when leaving than before arriving.

The terrace overlooks the harbour at exactly the point where all the ferries dock, so guests can watch the...skilled maneuvering of the ferry captains and check out the passengers from a 'bird 's eye view ' people-watching position. Beyond the pretty harbour and lighthouse, diners can enjoy watching sailboats and powerboats on Bodensee and gaze, from Germany, over to the beautiful Swiss and Austrian Alps on the south and east sides of the lake. Drinks and food are all reasonably-priced and the service to our large family group, from a nice blonde waitress, was smiling and efficient. The restaurant interior is cool and exotic, with a very distinct Turkish style. For those who do, colourful water-pipes are available with various flavours.

Food was quite good, but when will operators like this recognise that they must accept credit cards. The world has...moved on and it is no good restraunters and others in places like Lindau, attracting international visitors to play King Canute and offend its customers by refusing the method of payment we now prefer. Shame they are just behind the times.
