The menu has plenty of choice, as does the wine list. The food was beautiful and the service was both friendly and professional. The lovely gentleman who served us, spoke English which made things easier. The restaurant offers both inside and outside dining and has a very appealing modern, but intimate decor.

If you used to the best you will appreciate their attention to detail and dedication to serving you food they are proud of. When we enquired about if we should have the lamb or the sausage we were told that the lamb came in so fresh that just this morning it was frolicking in the pastures by the local stream. (Quid pro quo Clarisse.) Not vegan friendly but the lamb was fabulous! Large portions so beware and also, like all German kitchens, you cannot order past 10pm. Not even dessert! So get your order in early if you want something sweet! Prices are high but very fair because the meal is too notch. You might want to make a reservation as space is very limited!

Tonight I had the seasonally available HirschGulasch (Deer meat) with red cabbage and Spätzle (egg noodle). This dish is amazing and the meat is so tender. We started with flammkuchen which is a local dish which resembles very thin pizza but is a much lighter and is either baked with cheese and vegetables or cheese and ham. There are are really good local red and white wines available to accompany your dinner. Overall the service is excellent and the setting is great for a business meeting or couples. In the summer the outside tables are great for a nice cool evening.
