Overall: Wonderful Italian restaurant in the city…read more Ambience: The place has mostly tourists and business commuters, yet the crowd is sophisticated. The restaurant is not very large from the inside so getting a table on short notice can be difficult. Patrons at this place are usually well dressed, so I suggest you follow suit. They may do outdoor seating during summers. Food: We started off with a cheese and cured meat platter, and it was phenomenal. Our server was originally from Napoli, very nice and polite. She helped us pick a wine that would pair well with our food. My dinner was very tasty and flavorful. I was surprised to find such a great tasting restaurant in Zurich. We were super stuffed but our server got us complementary desserts, that were delectable. Drinks: We ordered a bottle of red wine. It was priced well for the and we really enjoyed it. Service: The service here was first class. Our server (forgot her name) really did everything to make it a great dinner. Price: The restaurant is in central location so is priced accordingly. We paid what we had expected. The owner also came out to meet us and he was super nice.

You will neither go there for the food, the atmosphere nor the service because none of these even…read moretouch the expectations you might have due to the restaurant's location. Latter is the only visiting reason as the view on the Lake of Constance, which is right nearby, might be charming, but also this was not the case when we visited the restaurant this Saturday in the late afternoon for an early dinner. First the atmosphere and service, we stood literally one minute in the reception area with waiters rudhing by no greeting, no seating advice at first. In addtion the venue has the charme of a hospital cafeteria, but maybe this was even the intention for locating it directly below the sauna of the Bodensee Therme anyhow. Second the food, both our chicken and pork steaklets came together with Spätzle for the price in decent portions (actually the plate was too small), but lacked any remarkable taste. Overall, we won't visit this restaurant again if not for a cup of coffee.

The restaurant Seehof has a pretty unassuming entrance in a little street, but its terrace provides stunning views over Bodensee, or Lake Constance as its actual name is in English. I was visiting Friedrichshafen for just about a day and wanted to have a nice meal by the water. I quickly came across a few positive reviews of Seehof and decided to go there. Later, a local friend told me, that many people who live in Friedrichshafen do not yet know about this great little gem, so it is surprisingly still kind of an insider tip. When I walked in on a Sunday around noon, the restaurant was not very busy and I chose probably the table with the best view over the water. I was quickly handed the menu and browsed through the different items. I missed a Riesling on the wine list. It turns out that the Müller-Thurgau white wine I had ordered was great and fresh and soon I forgot that there was no Riesling on the menu. Also, I would recommend asking for a tap water instead of bottled water, because this very lake is the source of excellent drinking water. I started right with a main and they were very friendly and flexible, so I could customise my order and go off-menu. I went with pork tenderloin and home-made spätzle with gravy. It came with a little starter of salad with quite a bit vinegar - that is how they do it in the area, but I am not a big fan of these salads. For many people, the tenderloin would have been the main ingredient of the dish. Not for me - without a question, the grated spätzle were excellent and the true star. The gravy was nice and tangy, although perhaps a little bit fatty. The pieces of pork tenderloin were soft and delicious. For dessert, I had a mousse au chocolat which was alright, but it did not wow me as the spätzle did. After becoming used to London food prices, I was surprised when I saw the bill. It was a very reasonable price for good food, great wine and a perfect view in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Overall, I can only recommend Seehof. If you get a front-row table in the sun, it's worth to go for the view alone. Accompanied by at least a Müller-Thurgau to keep you cool so you can enjoy the view a bit longer.
