I had high hopes of Prellbock based on their Yelp reviews. However, after my dining experience I…read morefelt deceived. The ambiance is pleasant, as is the wait staff. Their bar is fully stocked and they have a nice selection of alcohol. The beer garden is also nice, large and private. I just wish their food matched the rest of the restaurant's attributes. When my friends and I visited, the restaurant was sold out of the dishes we wanted, the Schnitzel and pork. What was left was unpalatable. For the limited amount of food they make, the offerings should be excellent. First, at the suggestion of a reviewer, we ordered the cream garlic appetizer, which turned out to be jarred mayonnaise with a small amount of garlic with sugar. the bread was fine. My husband's small mixed green salad was good. I ordered the tagliatelle, it was sweet and the sauce was watery. My friend ordered the potato gratin, which was just a thick layer of cheese on top of a large baked potato on a bed of tomatoes and sweet cream sauce. Why is all of the food so sweet? My husband ordered a rice dish with chicken, watery paprika sauce, and no flavor. Over all, we were disappointed and would not return.

This place is so cozy!! The lights are dimmed in the evening, each table has a candle and the…read moreservers know what they're doing. We could tell that they learned waitressing and also like their job. The food was also amazing. We had the liver and the Schaufele. And desert... the pear parfait!

Still, the #1 on our list whenever we are in town. The lobby and public areas are sensational, so…read moreplease be satisfied as they do not represent your initial experience. The staff is super friendly. We were so excited to dine last night, and were disappointed that they brutally stripped down the menu they still offer on their website - so only four out of five this time. It should be an easy fix - either correct the website or offer what you promise. Sorry!

If it's a hot summer day, or you are really looking for a nice and comfortable hotel, then head a…read morefew blocks over to the Leipzig Marriott, just across from the main train station. If you are still reading, I have stayed at this Leipzig Penta Hotel hundreds of times and sometimes refer to it as my second home. Not sure why I haven't yelped this place earlier. Maybe it is kind of like yelping your own house? I was going to give 2 stars, but bumped it up to 3 due to the excellent and accommodating staff throughout the hotel, as well as the very good restaurant service and quality of food. It is also clean and safe, and the location while not being the best compared to the Marriott, Novotel, Westin or Radison Blue is only a short 8 minute walk to either the train station or the hot spots of the city center. Who ever did the interior decorating of this hotel was either brilliant or a nut. I am still trying to figure out what this place reminds me of. It's just a combination of funky and weird throughout....from the check in area being an extended disco bar, to the bright white albino moose light in the one corner staring down at all, to the white/brown cow hide chairs in the lobby, to the cheap furniture and carpeting, and soaps in the rooms. The beds are tiny and hard, and the pillows are too soft and thin. If the weather is warmer than 26C, you better ask for a room fan quickly because the rooms get stifling hot. At least you can open your windows here, but then it is noisy or buggy. I guess as long as I have a job and my company pays for this hotel, I can live with weird!
