Strolling through Rudescheim on a calm November evening we were seeking out a good German…read morerestaurant for dinner. The town was peaceful and quiet - no one around - but it felt quite safe. We passed a few restaurants that seemed open but deserted before coming across Rüdesheimer Schloss Weinhaus. Bright lights, lots of people, and what looked like a lively atmosphere. We were sold! Lively turned out to be an understatement. Unbeknownst to us, our ship's optional excursion to various German beer houses had ended up here, and with a band everyone was in fine fettle! The band played German music then American songs, the group was feeling no pain and dancing up a storm. Definitely lively! We had a nice booth a little farther away where we could observe all the activity but still enjoy our dinner. For us, it was a wonderful experience: delicious, authentic German cuisine, attentive, friendly service in English, and a well appointed,lovely restaurant with obvious history. The main course, the wine, and dessert were all wonderful. A memorable evening!

The restaurant is quite large and is a gathering place for food and drink, serving traditional German dishes (served family style) and local wine and beer. Schloss Weinhaus serves local beer and wine, and the welcoming servers keep everything coming, from starters, main course and desert. They don't slack on the beverages either. The crowning glory is the live music with standard German and American songs (some Elvis, Roll out the Barrel, et). It's a rollicking good time.

As a recommendation from Rick Steves, my friends and I wanted to try this spot for dinner and the…read morefamous wine carousel. Being the southern American girls that we are, we each wanted our own flight. The server told us that one carousel would be enough for whole table, so we decided to listen to his suggestion. For dinner I chose the shrimp and dill flatbread which was delicious and large enough in size that I had leftovers. The 12 wine carousel was indeed large enough for our table and we each found our favorites. One star down for the wait time. While it is customary to have a nice sit down meal in Europe, I did notice other locals seem to have to flag down the waiter several times.
