The best meal I've ever had in Germany. And yes, I've had many. This french restaurant has it all -…read morequaint upscale atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff and an always evolving menu that hits all the right notes from apps and craft cocktails to dessert. I honestly cannot say enough great things about our dining experience - first visit was a group of 8 in the main dining, and it was so good 2 of us came back and ate at the bar a few nights later. Both dinners were exceptional. The raw oysters were amazing - we had a few "experts" from the US northeast claim they were better than anything thy had had in new england. I had the rigatoni with venison bolognese twice it was that good. Beet and goat cheese salad was a perfect starter. The famous apple tart to top it off.

Let's start out with the positive aspects. Convenient location. This was literally a hip skip and a…read morejump from my hotel room at the Marriot, which is just a few blocks from the main train station in Cologne. The large restaurant can easily accommodate many patrons. Large roomy tables are perfect for those who don't want to feel claustrophobic. The menu is vast and in English (Angels singing). Best of all.. They had fois gras with a side scoop of sorbet... Strange but it worked! And the not so great.... The wait for the menu was 10 min. The wait to order was 15. The whole ordeal took over 2 hours. This was a bit long when you've got two young kids dining with you. The worst part? They charge 9€ for a bottle of Evian water. A bit steep in my opinion. They also have breakfast buffet here in the morning. Not the best but not so bad either. There are a variety of cheeses,breads, and meats. There's an omelette station, too. Monday guy was great but Sunday guy was a joke. I asked for an omelette...and then I returned a few minutes later... Had to repeat what I wanted and he said 10 min. 10 min later he said "10 minutes. " I go back 10 min later and he asked what I ordered! So I repeated it and he said "ahhhh it's right here" as he started throwing the ingredients in my omelette to one he was already cooking! And.... It was still wrong!

Horrible service even by meager European standards. The supposed French Asian fusion food was…read moreneither French or Asian. So we tried the French onion soup... no flavor. It was the consistency of warm dish water. We went to breakfast thinking you can't screw that up..... avoid this place!

The use of more darker colours would make the restaurant more cosy and more accessible for non-hotel guests. The staff is very helpfull and makes you feel like a real guest. We choose the Nebraska meat Tartar starter and for our main course the Nebraska meatball and the filet of Nebraska beef. Both the starter and the main course were of exceptional quality and taste. The tartar is prepared at your table so you can choose your own ingredients. As the portions were very big, can be a bit smaller for me, we had no room for dessert, unfortunately. But there will be a next time.. that is for sure. Also a tip, start with a pre dinner drink in the Capella Bar this is one of the best bars I have ever been. And then also after dinner end the evening in the bar with a cocktail and a cigar in the special created cigar lounge.

As a main course I had the Duck Confit and it was melt in your mouth amazing. The only negative I would have to say is the menu is so hard to read and the type is so small. I would definitely return to the restaurant.
