As the Hotel itself is not in a good location I was even more surprised about the Menu. I had a Fitnessteller Salad with a little veal filet. Guess what the price was. US 36,00 !! And the Coke was priced at US 6,10 !! I never wrote a restaurant review focussing on prices but this was a unique experience. So, first of all, don 't sleep in this Hotel as it is on a motorway and all the rooms are facing the street. Second, I recommend, never eat in this restaurant. Go 5 kms to the beautiful Luzern city center to eat much nicer and much more honest.

We were a group of three eating Sunday lunch and all ordered fish (different kinds) because it was featured on their menu. The presentation was good but as we started eating realized the fish was not hot, and not very flavorful. The sauce was a mealy tasteless puree. On top of the cold fish, the potatoes were undercooked and hard to eat. This is a shame because from what I could tell the raw material they had to work with (local fresh fish) is very good, had it been properly prepared. I can recommend this restaurant to stop and have a drink if you are hiking, but do not eat here.
