We were greeted by one of the waiters who is pictured in this review. There were plenty of open tables, it was past normal lunch time and we asked if we could be seated at a four top, despite being two of us, as there were so many available and we like to sit beside each other. He sharply told us NO. While it didn't make sense, we accepted that. Two parties of two were seated very shortly after, one at the table we asked about initially and the other right next to us on the other side. They were close enough to hear it said that they, too, did not have reservations. Basically the waiter refused us the table we preferred, or any of the four tops open. It might sound petty, and it kind of was, but he was a jerk and then became our waiter! It was a slap in our faces for no reason. We were vacationing and just wanted a nice view for lunch. It shouldn't have been an issue (no language barrier as we spoke to him in German), but it made it one. So the food was good, the host/waiter who we had was a putz. Maybe you'll have better luck and I wish you that. For us, we wouldn't return.

The menu is uninspiring (even less than the regular Bavarian fare) and the food is as to be feared. The Gaststätte is closed until sometime in Spring 2009 for renovations. The monastery itself is more interesting: it has a museum with lots of artefacts from Africa and Asia that could gain from a more modern approach, but still, the items are there to make a beautiful antropological showpiece.

Our lunch started with Spargelcremesuppe (it's asparagus season!) and it was really good, with large chunks of asparagus. Afterwards I picked the Bavarian plate. It consisted of Käsespätzle, pork medallions in a brown sauce and a mix of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. The Spätzle were incredible, the rest was so-so. All in all this was a great experience for an unpretentious restaurant in the middle of nowhere.
