Good food (and we especially appreciated the Seniorenteller smaller portions of main dishes for elderly people). There was an amuse bouche to start with and my melt in the mouth Schweinebacken were very tasty and served with dumplings, a local speciality.

Deco could have been a bit more festive, but the little chocolate Santa hidden under the paper napkin was a nice surprise. There was a small amuse bouche soup served. Main course portions were generous. They gave extra dumplings and red cabage on a rechaud on the table. Both game and goose roasts were lovely. Dessert soso, Crème Brulé unfortunately cold, my ginger bread dessert soggy and a bit bland. Service was friendly and up to some chatting. Overall a pleasant Christmas Dinner.
