It's a very decent place in Ribeauvillé. I have passed it a couple of times and always was curious…read moreabout it - as well as were my parents. So given that we were passing through there around lunch, we decided to stop and finally try it out. Overall, the impression was initially pretty good - great choice of wines, interesting mise en bouche and a decent appetizer. The problem, however came with the main dish. While the risotto - part of the vegetarian menu - was great according to my parents and GF, the "escaloppe de veau" I was served was completely overcooked, lacking in spice, salt or any form of sauce - aka flavorless. Same thing for the tagliatelle coming with them. They were overcooked and uninspiring at best - lacking in sauce amount or sauce quality. The desert selection was not exactly inspiring either. However, putting aside the small details of the gustative experience, this place remains rather decent.

Let me summarize the restaurant associated with this hotel in one word: Horrific. Please, please,…read moreplease do not go here. The food is disgusting, the service is confrontational, and the management is uncaring and off-putting. There are dozens of restaurants in this cute, Alsatian village-find another one.

Très bel hôtel vraiment bien situé au cœur de Ribeauvillé. Nous avons trouvé à nous garer dans une…read morerue pas trop loin mais ça peut être aléatoire car les rues alentours sont étroites et plus adaptées aux piétons. Nous sommes arrivés un soir où la réception était fermée et avons du appeler au téléphone une personne qui nous a aiguillé sur la façon de récupérer la clé. La chambre était décorée de façon moderne avec un très bon goût. Le lendemain nous avons pu voir que la salle a mangé était extrêmement bien décorée également. La prochaine fois on prendra le petit déjeuner, ça avait l'air vraiment bon et le cadre idéal. Je recommande vivement!

Do NOT go! This place has the rudest service I have ever experienced in over 35 countries…read more Not only they were more than 1 hour late with our food, they didn't even come to take our drinks re-order. When I inquired about the status , the waitress instead of offering an explanation and apologizing for the very long delay started yelling at us. This was followed by an equally rude manager who told us we should be happy that they welcomed us in their establishment. I have never been treated so rudely and received such a poor service as a paying customer. Avoid at all cost!

Great spot for a bite to eat! Had some pizza, bratwursts and some sweet French wine! English menu,…read moregood place to go if you're a picky eater! Would recommend! Cool atmosphere as well!

This review is for the hotel attached to the restaurant. We pulled into cute Riquewhir after 6 on a…read moreFriday night, and discovered all the hotels were full. We knew that because the woman at St. Nicolai Hotel, who spoke English, was nice enough to go online and check several other hotels in town for us since her hotel was also full. She also made several phone calls, and located a hotel in Ribeauville fifteen minutes away that had a couple of rooms still available. We were looping back through Riquewhir at the end of our three week trip, so this time we booked ahead at St. Nicolai Hotel, and got our German friends to meet us there. They were pleased to discover German was also spoken. Our friends booked ahead for parking, but we managed to find a pay parking spot outside the city walls for the same price. We met up in the cute lobby which has decent wifi and a nice sitting area, since the wifi doesn't work in the rooms. Yes, the wooden floors are creaky since this is a very old, quaint property, but all the plumbing fixtures and flooring have been updated. Our room was very clean, and the best part is you are on a quiet side street of this wonderful historic village. By booking a night, you can wander the streets and taste wine after the tour buses have left for the day. Hotel prices are reasonable. We didn't opt for breakfast, but the restaurant looked nice, and we only found one bakery open. Prices were lower at the bakery, but it would have been more convenient to breakfast at the hotel.

Presentation, taste, & service were all outstanding, supported by an extensive wine list. My wife, daughter, & I all agreed this was one of the two best meals during our vacation in Alsace and Switzerland.

Superb restaurant. We dined upstairs in the French part (downstairs is Japanese), and enjoyed it so…read moremuch that we returned the next night to try one of their other menus. The first night we had the Menu 48E (63E with wine pairing). The Espuma of potatoes with mushrooms, escargots, bacon and onions was rich, earthy and sublime. The Simmental beef was excellent and was beautifully complimented by an exquisite sweet potato gratin layered with a delicate sweet potato puree. The apple tarte was so beyond perfection that I can't even find words to adequately describe the intensity of flavor. The second night we had the Menu 32E (47E with wine pairing). The crab tartare was lovely and the roast salmon, with slightly smoky flavor, was excellent. Both evenings started with an amuse bouche of warm asparagus soup with what was described as a coffee cream with nuts. It was delicious. The wine pairings were absolutely perfect as was the Cremant aperitif. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Impeccably nuanced food, rich and yet not heavy, warm atmosphere, excellent service.
