    We came here recently for breakfast, and both my husband and I had a very tasty omelet. The food is a good option for breakfast if you're in town. However, this place is cramped for seating, or if you are unfortunate like I was, you will have a waitress drop something behind you. Out own waitress was fine, but she didn't come often to our table, but others came by. Someone, and I assume maybe the owner had a little girl running around, and I feared she might trip a waitress or someone with a food tray. I'm not sure she's always there, but considering the size of the place it was a bit erratic for us to stay long.

    The service was incredible -- friendly, fast, and made us feel right at home. Everything we ordered tasted so fresh with homemade jams. It's the kind of breakfast that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite. If you're in Hermann, start your morning here, you won't be disappointed!

    We stopped by this place on a Sunday at lunchtime. It's a sweet space with a welcoming staff. We enjoyed the experience very much! We had a bigger group so there was a wait for the food, however the food was PHENOMENAL. Top notch chef here and I would go so far as to say one of the best meals I've ever had. Having lived in bigger cities with a heavy foodie scene, this is a bold (but accurate) statement for me to make! We were incredibly impressed with all the meals served.

    Been to Hermann many times first time trying Ainsley's Place. Service was very solid, smallish menu but nice variety. We had the Eggs Benedict and the Aebleskivers and enjoyed both.

    Special of the day, Corned beef hash with eggs and hash browns.  Aebleskivers are like pancake balls.

    Great unique selection of breakfast and lunch items. Service is warm and friendly. Servings are generous and fairly priced. Cosy dining area with seven tables. Definitely the to go spot in Hermann for breakfast or lunch.

    Rolled pancakes.

    Such a great last minute choice. One of the only true sit down breakfast places in the area. It opened at 930a on Sunday and we arrived at 927 with a line already forming. Not a ton is seating so be there at open and/or prepare to wait a bit. Food was wonderful and was neat to be able to see them cooking as they went. Definitely worth a try again.

    Great food with a touch of high end finishes and touches, housed in a low key environment with a personable atmosphere and staff!

It is very romantic and extremely picturesque. Make sure you check my review on the Winery to see the rest of the photos. The service and the food. This place, though it isn't indicated anywhere, stopped seating after lunchtime and took a break between 2 pm and 4 pm. They weren't kicking diners out, but also wouldn't seat anyone till 4. This is a bit of a shock for those just trying to get a late lunch and missed the 2 pm deadline by a few minutes. There is no other close option for snacks or something of the like. And unfortunately, the attitude was very much of a... "well, sorry that you weren't prepared!" We almost didn't return, but we wanted a specific item off the menu. And to rate this place! (Just dropped my rating to 3 stars from 4 as I think of this. When we did return in time for dinner, the same person who didn't recognize us at all cheerfully greeted and seated us. The waitress was very good and knew her stuff. Even so far as to suggest a specific wine with my dinner when asked. The food - This is the main thing that lost a star. It was OK. I chose the German Trio, thinking of getting a little of everything. And, I did. However, when it says smaller portions (see menu picture), they mean it! There was a smallish brat, an incredibly small and overcooked piece of schnitzel (pictured), and lastly some overcooked pork with a sauce all over it. I believe they get away with serving this kind of food for several reasons. a.) The sauce is amazing! And yes, it is on lots of the food or on the side as you wish. b.) The winery has a trolley that runs to it. So many visitors are "trapped" till it returns, so a place to eat makes sense. Also, the place's main concern is wine. The average customer is at least lightly sauced and will view this as the best meal ever because they are going to remember the sauce! Those of you who typically read my reviews often times know that I give each venue the benefit of a doubt and will go eat at them a few times to ensure it wasn't just a fluke. But not this time. I found nothing extremely redeeming other than the convenience of eating right after drinking a bunch of wine. This place touts itself as one of the premier, old school, and fancy restaurants in Hermann. It is not. Pick one of the others and have a better meal.

I enjoyed a mulled wine, salmon and potato cakes. The food was prepared well and was delicious. The caveat (there's always a caveat) is, be prepared to spend a lot of money on a meal that I've personally cooked for about a 5th of the price. However, as I was eating out because I didn't feel like cooking tonight, it was very close to being worth the expense. I also want to thank my waitress as she was very good.

    What a great little place…read more We stopped in here to grab a bite to eat after the long drive to town. Dropped off our stuff at our Airbnb and headed straight here. The only negative I have is that I didn't have time to eat more of the food. And order more drinks. So, this one will be on the list for a return visit. But, I can hear you saying... "Rob, you only scored it 4 out of 5!" Well, that is because I can't do a half-star. So let me explain! The Food - Amazing Schnitzel with all the right sides. Katie got the salmon, again seasoned and cooked to perfection. They get all stars for the food! The Ambiance - This place, at one time, was a working mill and has all of that rustic charm. There are private rooms that are decked out in the downstairs of the place, and plenty of amazing thick-beamed rooms by the bar and main seating area. Lots of fun things outside when it isn't too cold. Again, all the stars! The Service - The person who seated us gave us a quick rundown on the local liquors and their general food. Then, just for grins, let us go take pictures downstairs and at parts of the bar. See attached. She also offered to go further, but we declined and headed to our table. Our waitress... well... she was efficient and friendly. She took our order correctly and delivered the food and check appropriately. And here is where the half-star gets lost. I asked, "Which do you think is better tonight? The Lobster Spätzle or the Schnitzel?" Katie said I looked at her like she had just melted onto the floor when she replied with. "I prefer the Schnitzel! But, I haven't ever had any spätzle." Wait?!?!?! You are working in a Germanesq restaurant, in a Historic German town, and are over the age of 45. Obviously have worked here for a while. And you don't know what one of the 6 dinner dishes, not a salad or a burger, tastes like?!?!?! I mean... I can understand if it was vegan or something like that... but she just told me that she likes the PORK Schnitzel! Owner/Manager... please make sure your peeps can answer the simple flavor questions. Another place was even able to tell me which wine they thought would go with my food... off the top of her head, and they had more on the menu. That said! All of you who get the chance to eat here should take it! I know when I make it back to Hermann, I will, and I'm sure they will get that last star!

The restaurant was nearly empty on a weekday night. There were multiple open 6- and 8-top tables available, and we chose a 6-top because the only open 4-top was directly next to the front door. Shortly after we sat down, another table left, making the place even emptier. A staff member came over and insisted we move because we only had four people, despite the fact that there was no crowd, no wait, and no practical reason the table would be needed. We explained that we were regulars, that the restaurant was empty, and even shared that the reason our usual fifth person wasn't with us was because my grandpa had just passed away. Instead of showing any flexibility or understanding, he continued insisting we move. The situation escalated, and our family ended up leaving without eating. I understand restaurants have policies, and I normally respect that. But there's also such a thing as judgment, hospitality, and basic human compassion. This felt less like customer service and more like someone enforcing rules for the sake of enforcing them. It was honestly disappointing from a place we've supported for years.

The beers are great--especially the IPAs, wheats and stouts. The food is very good as well--my favorite is the jalapeño Mac and cheese bite appetizer but the burgers, salads and pizza are also good. I like to sit at the bar and the bartender that is there most of the time is awesome--so helpful, friendly and efficient. However, the service yesterday was very lacking. We counted 11 staff members just standing around and talking to each other while totally ignoring us. Three were at the end of the bar and we sat there for about 5-10 minutes before the bartender came out from the kitchen and gave us a menu. We were the only ones sitting at the bar and it would have been nice if one of those three employees had told us that the bartender would be coming out soon or at least give us a menu. The bartender was very good though--quite friendly and helpful--she gave us several samples of beer and food recommendations. We ordered the bites and a mushroom Swiss burger which came out exceedingly fast and both were very good. We had several Giddy Goats which were super tasty and cold...my boyfriend isn't a huge fan of stouts but he loved this one! We checked out the store on our way out and my boyfriend decided to buy a six-pack to go. He went back to the bar, holding his wallet out to pay but all the employees just ignored him for several minutes so he got tired of waiting and left without buying it. We don't understand why there were so many employees milling around doing nothing and ignoring patrons? Are the employees not taught to cover various tasks? Even so, they should be aware of the customers' needs and find the employee responsible for that task. I could understand if it was super busy but it was a Sunday afternoon and the place was nearly empty . I love this place and will continue to be a regular customer but hope for much better service next time!

It's the perfect amount of dressing, and not to mention, I love their house dressing. Great balance between creamy and tangy. The entree I can't seem to get away from ordering is their Grouper Florentine. Wow. It's hard to not make me like grouper, but it's more of the fact in what they paired the grouper with. The parmesan breaded & grilled fish lays on a bed of flash fried spinach, with a "roasted tomato & red pepper relish" topping it. My mouth's watering as I type. The service- never had bad service here. The hosts, servers, bartenders, are all very friendly and accommodating to your needs. The last time I was here I had two servers checking on me at the bar. I cannot say one negative thing about this restaurant; it's became a favorite and I can't wait to go back.
