A woman led me into a room and prepared everything. She told me to get ready and lie down, and that she would be right there. After a short while, the door opened and a man came in. I didn't see him because I was already lying down. He just said hello, which I found very disconcerting. I generally don't have a problem being massaged by a man, but it would have been nice if she had mentioned it briefly before leaving. This man spoke neither German nor English, and he certainly hadn't learned either. He pressed on my bones and spine, only on the muscles, stroking them frantically back and forth without any pressure. He also spent at least a third of the time working on my arms. I tried to tell him using a language translation app that he could please massage the muscles a little more firmly, but that didn't work either. Unfortunately, not recommended at all!

The tables were tastefully set, but on Saturday evening only 3 tables were occupied, which made me a bit thoughtful. My soup No. 10 tasted good, my wife's No. 12 tasted bland and watery. My dish no. Conclusion: Not necessarily a must for me.

Unfortunately, one of the pieces contained a sharp piece of plastic about the size of a two-cent coin. This really detracted from the overall experience!
