I asked to sit outside, and my server placed me at a small table with two other people. I don't mind sitting with others in a communal setting, but I thought it was strange and a bit rude to be sat at a table meant for four with two other people who were at a different stage of their meal than me. For an appetizer I had the Hausgemachtes Würzfleisch in der Blätterteigpastete mit Sauce Hollandaise (Ragout fin in a pie crust with Hollandaise sauce, pictured) which flavorful and a good amount of food for an appetizer. For my main course, I had the Gebratene Flugentenkeule mit Apfelrotkohl und Thüringer Klößen (roast leg of duck with red cabbage and potato dumplings, pictured). The prices seemed reasonable for the amount of food I had. I've read other reviews about this restaurant which hinted that this was a touristy, crowded restaurant, but I didn't feel that way here. The service was decent for Germany, and the food was promptly brought to me.

Followed this up with a potatoe beer (not quite sure how the potatoe is brought into the brewing process) which was also a nice drink. Decided to eat something and the dumpling was certainly a tasty way to soak up some beer.

Slow service We (2…read moreadults and 1 kid) arrived shortly before 20:00 a Thursday night. Food was good but service was extremely slow. It took about 1h20 from order until the food arrived. After that waiting time our kid was very tired and did not each much at all. Waiting a very long time for the food also spoils a bit of the experience. We also noted that people around us also had been waiting a long time for the food.
