This is one of the very best restaurants I've ever been to in my life. It's an experience that few…read moreplaces can rival because it's about the people and the food and the atmosphere. The food is exquisite! Frau Uli is a fantastic chef and the meals are prepared and presented simple and perfectly. There is no pretense, it's wonderful steaks, beautiful tasty salads and potatoes to die for... All in good proportions and at a very fair price. Uli is a perfect host! Wonderful stories and friendly, he is an expert at putting his guests at ease. He knows his Rums and Scotches (and all liquors I'm sure), it's a real treat to have him select an after dinner digestif. Without Uli this would just be a fantastic place to eat but it's so much more! The restaurant is in a wonderful old German building, I'm assuming an old guest house. I could write a 1000 words and I still could not do it justice, go and enjoy!

This is one of my favorite dining experiences anywhere in the world, much less Germany!…read more Our host (though I forget his name) was one of the most genuine people I've ever met and has a beautiful skill at establishing rapport with his customers. The food was delicious and I felt that I was dining in the house of a longtime friend who took great care in her offerings.

After waiting forty minutes for my meal in what was basically a hot and stuffy room, my opinion of…read morethis place dropped tremendously. However I don't want to write it off too much because, surprisingly, as soon as I queried the waiter as to where our food was it suddenly, magically, appeared before is (which makes me wonder what was keeping them bringing it to us). Well, the carrot soup was actually quite nice, and my brother ended up having a rather interesting dish (not that I could remember what it was). However, I guess a part of me also didn't think all that much of Essen. However, what was really cool about this place was that in the bathrooms the soap is wrapped around a metal rod, so there is no need to mess around with squeeze tubes - you just wet your hands, soap them up, and then wash them off. As for the towels, they were actually small cotton towls that you tossed into a box once you are finished with them.

I had a banana beer and schnitzel with pepper sauce. Everything was better than expected...the potatoes were extremely tasty. Service was leisurely but not unusual, and servers treated me graciously. I fell into American habit and tipped too much, but the prices were very reasonable, and I would come back again.

Service and staff are extremely rude! We waited for over 20 minutes and kept trying to get…read moresomeone's attention to at least acknowledge us and they kept hushing us and asking us to wait. The restaurant was full, but they could have at least acknowledged us instead of sticking fingers in our faces and asking us to wait. We just wanted to know much longer we had to wait and if there was a table avail for two. There were two other people that arrived at the same time as we did with reservations and they were treated the same. The wait staff basically acted annoyed that people where there to eat. It was snowing and we were cold and starving so we left and found an Italian restaurant around the corner. If you like long wait and rude severs this is the place for you.
