I was interested. I ordered it, and when it came out I started to really question whether I had made a good last pre-Afghanistan investment of 14 euro. There were two small steak in a sour cherry and cranberry sauce. As an American, I immediately associate cherries with pie, and this was not pie. I was automatically skeptical. But, then I tasted it, and it was wonderful. The meat itself was excellent-- well-cooked and exceptionally lean, so it wasn't very heavy or rich. But the sauce. The sauce! The sour cherries acidity nicely cut the richness of the wild boar jus (have you ever heard that before?), and the steaks had been nicely seasoned with rosemary, which served as a nice counterpoint to the sweetness of the cherries. An all around winner. My wife and I were surprised, because the quality, creativity, and execution of both of our meals was much better than before. We asked our waitress if they had recently hired a new chef, but they had not. Instead, the chef's daughter, who is merely an apprentice (a trainee chef) was filling in. So, only 4 stars, because in my opinion the chef's daughter is, despite being an apprentice, a better chef making better food. However, the change will be short-lived, and who knows if she'll pass on any of her successful specials or tweaks to the regular menu when she leaves. We can only wait and see.

This is a smaller place and the front desk isn't manned 24/7, but the proprietor lives nearby and comes over quickly if there is an issue (you can call from the front desk). Service was friendly and the two women I spoke with during my stay both spoke enough english for me to get by. The studio I had was one of two top-floor rooms, and it was a pretty substantial room with plenty of closet space, a small mini-fridge, and a little two burner stove (I'm not sure if there were pans or not, I never checked), plus the usual desk/chair, couch and chairs, and a small table to eat at with a couple more chairs. The bathroom was small, as was the shower, but it worked just fine. The bed was pretty substantial, and comfortable enough. WiFi is free, but slow, and parking is just on the street out front (but I never had a problem getting a spot). Continental breakfast is included; it's a small spread of meats, cheese, bread, granola, etc, and the woman on duty will get you coffee, tea, and/or eggs is you want. Overall a perfectly fine hotel. Restaurant: Only the gastzimmer was open since it's the low season, but service was friendly and my meal was good. Roasted deer with potato dumplings and berry sauce was good, and the selection of beers by Tucher was sufficient to scratch the itch for any German beer style you might want. I'd love to come back to Vilseck in the spring or summer, and I would certainly stay here again.

There isn't a massive selection, but everything there was fresh and tasty. Beer selection was solid, as to be expected, and the food was all good. The schnitzel was nice and crispy on the outside, and still moist enough on the inside. The burgers looked decent enough, as did the grilled pork with spaetzle. Service was typical for Germany, and as you'll find in a lot of places the food comes out of the kitchen as it is ready, not all at once, so there can be some time between the first and last plates arriving. If that is the case, the polite thing to do in Germany is to eat your food when it arrives so that you are eating it hot.

We were shoved into a TINY little room, no fans and it was absolutely miserable. But thankfully since we were located on base we would just spend the day out. On the back end, whenever we left, we were given a VERY large room, kitchen, couch, huge bed and FANS! After two years and seeing them remodel the buildings it's definitely a really great upgrade!!
