These were all delicious. I was hesitant about trying the veal since I've never tried it. I'm so glad I did because it was soooo good. The meat was tender and the mushroom sauce very tasty. I highly recommend this dish. My husband loved the chicken. Loved the calamari. Service: What can I say. Thomas, our server, was the best. He catered to us like we were family. He recommended the chicken and veal. We've never experienced anybody automatically recommending dishes to us unless we ask. Thomas made sure we had the best experience and gave us a few recommendations. We were definitely not disappointed. Thank you Thomas. You're the best! Ambiance: This cafe is right off the river Limat. You can choose to enjoy your meal or drink in the patio or inside. The staff are very friendly and wecome you with a smile. So if you're in Zurich, definitely check out this place and ask for Thomas. Great experience. Definitely recommend this place. 5+++ stars*

The atmosphere is very joyful and, unlike many Zurich places, it is almost always populated by young (and noisy) people, who want to have a good time. I find this very relaxing. There are also available seats at the bar and often people are standing as well, since big groups of friends joining after work is a common view there. The strongest point of the place is, in my opinion, it'a brunch selection. On weekends, you can serve brunch until as late as 4 pm. Try their omelette, it is delicious! (I got the New York one). Also, they serve breakfast combos (i chose the American and the Swiss one), which are very expensive (up to even 30 CHF if I remember well), but they are worth it! The combos are enough for two people and they are very diverse. I would be happy if they offered more drinks as included in the combo though. However, be prepared to pay Zurich prices. It's an expensive place, but I never regretted spending money there. Enjoy!

Unless you don't mind eating outside in the dark with all the smokers. Second....expect to wait a long time. This isn't a fast food restaurant so grab a beer and wait 45/60 min to get your food. Third... Switzerland is very expensive so this restaurant is no different. 2 burgers, 2 alcoholic drinks, and French fries were 98CHF which is pretty much 100 bucks. They have 3 sauces for you to try. Ketchup- Tasted like marinara sauce. BBQ- Tasted like smokey ketchup. 1000 island. Tasted normal. Burgers were great. They were juicy and delicious. Animal Style French Fries were a good try. Def not like the original but so far from home it was a nice find. This restaurant isn't for Americans. Way too expensive for what we eat all the time but I compare this place to the Melting Pot in the US. That place is so overpriced but it's amazing to get your cheese fondue fix. I can't imagine Swiss people coming to the US and eating at our expensive version of cheese fondue. Service was ok. It was super busy so can't really complain but I could tell our waiter was super annoyed with our audacity of showing up , with no reservation, and willingness to wait. And for some dumb reason you can't order "The Threesome" (or Hattrick) with a group of 5 people. 4 apparently is ok but we had 5. Cannot imagine why if 3 people order the same thing it's an inconvenience for the restaurant but DON'T DO IT or again your waiter will show his annoyance.

The surrounding buildings all looked fairly modern and new, which was kind of surprising, because I had an image of this area being kind of dumpy. The pub had an old-fashioned look with old-style decorations on the wall, but everything seemed clean and new--which I really liked. I guess it's been a while since I've been in a Zürich pub, because I have bad memories of stale cigarette smoke still lingering in other places right after they instilled the indoor smoking ban. This bar is really spacious and has a lot of different kinds of beer on tap. I had two little glasses of Smithwick's, because my fellow Yelpers told me it's difficult to find this Irish beer elsewhere in Zürich. It's a really good-tasting beer, and I would have downed more, except I had to work the next day. I already had dinner before coming, so I couldn't partake in the tasting-looking menu. The fully-loaded nachos and pot pies and fries looked REALLY yummy. There was a guy named Mel who played the guitar and sang, and he was really good as a one-man band. I think he was supposed to stop at one point because there was a soccer game on tv, but due to popular request, he was able to keep on playing. The staff was really nice and spoke English. It was a bit loud to talk comfortably over the live music, but not impossible to have decent conversations. The only downside was that I didn't see any wall hooks to hang up my winter coat. But other than that, I really liked this place.

Fries were hot and also fresh, the shaker of table seasoning was nice (possibly old bay). This is one of the better and least pretentious meals I've had all week including a McD burger that had a nasty red pepper yogurt dressing for 15 CHF. PJ's is much better and fresher than an Applebee's. I didn't try the ribs so I can't compare to a Chilis. I would say the food is closer to a Red Robin for quality and taste. Portions are generous as well. Like everything else about Zurich it's expensive for what you get.

I think there was a special seasonal menu that was only in German though, so we had to get some of the German-speakers in our group to translate it. The restaurant is in an industrial building, but they made it very elegant inside. I saw a lot of suited types dining at other tables, so I suppose this is popular with the work folks for wining and dining. Perhaps this could also be an elegant date place, but I was just there with coworkers. The food was beautifully presented and tasted quite good, but the service was a bit slow. But that could have also been due to our large group.
