We took a fun ride on the Polybahn and took in the view of the City from the Polyterrasse. At that…read morepoint, we noticed that we were hungry. I searched Yelp and it brought us to Linde Oberstrass (about a 1 km walk, or two stops on the tram). Warmly welcomed at our table by Nicole who took terrific care of us. She brought English menus and took our orders. Her English was excellent, even including some idioms and expressions. Beer and wine were consumed. These were the house wine and the house beer and they were delicious. I ordered the Walliser-Rösti, a Swiss specialty. It's basically shredded potatoes topped with yummy cheese and sliced tomatoes, then it's roasted and topped with a fried egg. It was amazing. My friend ordered a flatbread that was also marvelous. Served with sausage, green onions and cheese. It had an interesting mustard sauce mixed through that was fabulous. As much as the desserts looked great, we were stuffed and had to decline. Five stars for Linde Oberstrass and especially Nicole. [Review 16310 overall - 4 in Switzerland - 1816 of 2021.]

Oh, what could have been... Restaurant L'Unico should provide a heaven on earth dining…read moreexperience... it has all the makings of a great restaurant! However, delivery fails start to finish! For an expensive "fine dining" spot, this place does not deliver. Avoid at all costs! Let's begin with the location and our waiter, Alfred. It's a "non-smoking" hotel, but is reminiscent of the 80s in the US when they placed smokers right next to the "non-smoking section." There is a smoker's lounge on the first floor of the hotel, which makes the entire floor reek like an ashtray (think casino!). There are dozens of guests smoking just outside the doors, including the restaurant, which pumps even more cigarette smoke into first floor and the dining room! Disgusting way to eat, none of the food or wine tastes right in a smoke-laced room. The hotel allows a minority of guests to ruin the restaurant for most diners. Alfred, a smoker, greeted us reeking of smoke... 1/2 a table away, it was nauseating! Which also likely explains his prolonged absences from our table, outside on a smoking break! Service abominable... it took 90 minute after we finished our entrees to get dessert and the check. The host serviced most tables around us, one diner simply got up and left. Let's mention food. Asparagus soup was good, as was the house salad. The risotto was very undercooked, which was one whole dish plus side at our table. The veal saltimbocca was cooked well, but quite salty. The red wine was served room temperature, obviously not cared for in a climate controlled atmosphere! Ice cream for dessert was mediocre, the chocolate ice cream tasted freezer burned, and was only 1/2 a scoop. The restaurant could be great. But, management has to step up and deliver the "smoke free" hotel promised in all its advertising. If you're a smoker, this place is for you. For non-smokers, the hotel and restaurant fails miserably. We're here several more days, but definitely will not dine at this place again! Do not dine here if you want a quality meal in a "smoke free" environment!

Decent restaurant just outside of downtown Zurich with a pretty neat menu and a very nice cocktail…read moreselection. The menu is quite substantial complete with a nice selection of meats, including delicious aged beef and a large homemade pasta menu which you essentially pick the sauce and pair it with the pasta. The restaurant itself was actually nicely decorated and had a pretty good ambiance but the food and service honestly fell a bit short. The pasta was decent, but it was honestly a small portion and a bit bland. The service was below average as well as I had to wait quite a bit of time before greeted and once seated the server seemed disinterested... Overall, great location and decor but not all that great of a dinner experience. Pros- Ambiance Location Presentation Decor Meat case Great cocktail selection Homemade pasta Bread dipping sauces Cons- Very average food Below average service Waited approx 10 mins before being greeted and shown to table (wasn't busy at all) Small portions
