Very cool atmosphere in an old brick restaurant that fits maybe 25.

Inspite of bad service we had a very good meal. The kids ate the potato pancakes with apple sauce and loved it. The schnitzel and potatoes were very well prepared as was the mixed meat plate. The special meat was flat our bad. I tried it based on another yelp review but it was very chewy and lacked flavor.

The dining options are picture perfect..in the garden out front or in the 500 year old building accompanied by the owner's cats. Ambiance is old stone walls and a rustic cozy cottage feel like nothing I've experienced elsewhere. This is truly a unique dining experience. A real must try.

Still the best food!…read more We went back to show our baby the restaurant where we got married. This time I ordered the veal filet and hubby got the bratwurst which were both so delicious! We also ordered the spaghetti with truffles for our baby to try! All of the dishes were delicious! And of course the scenery and service is the best !

This place is adorable, not to mention the view of the Rhine River. The staff is adorable and…read moreabsolutely amazing and speak English as well as they do German. The food is hot and fresh and nothing in the US can really rival it in my opinion. The breakfast birthday is plentiful fresh and amazingly delicious. I love the variety of fish. They serve for breakfast with a caviar complement along with all of the other breakfast dishes you would expect.

Watch the trains whiz by (in relative silence) 10 meters away. FOOD: 3.0 - Japanese-style noodles (in the vegetarian dish): 1.5. My dining partner is Japanese. Couldn't eat the noodles. Was able to eat the "ok" vegetables. - Sauerbraten: 3.0. Fine. Not particularly tender. Part of 3 course meal that included an appetizer. Appetizer was fine except for the salmon sushi. Definitely unlike any sushi I've had in Japan or elsewhere - perhaps tried too hard for a new taste. - Salad: 4.0. Very good, with not-too-creamy dressing. - Dessert: 2.0. Reisling ice cream - tried too hard, chocolate fudge-like scoop - quite good, fruity scoop - ok. WINE was EXCELLENT.

Delicious and wholesome!…read more I ordered my choices based on a previous Yelper's recommendations: the house apertif (white wine with peach liqueur) and schnitzel. Both were delicious, the schnitzel was served with a salad, and I was stuffed by the end of the meal. This place is famous for being old, and we loved the history behind it!

The menu is similar to a typical German offerings from medieval times with some refinements. I had sliced boiled beef served with a potato cake and sour cream along with a serving of boiled spinach. Admittedly, I had no idea that the meal would be as good as it was. The setting is in traditional German furnishings. There is only one server. She handled it fine as the restaurant filled up. It's kind of like having dinner at your grandmother's house.
