Nice location and ambiance but horrible service and mediocre food.
Auf Deutsch: Schönes Restaurant, grottenschlechter Service, mittelmässiges Essen.
My wife and I gave this place three tries and walked away extremly disappointed each time. Never again.
The first time we never made it as far as ordering drinks because the hostess decided to ignore us for 15 minutes although the place was not busy and she walked by multiple times. We just left and wrote it off as one bad employee. Now we know she is something like the head waitress. You can't miss her...40ish, long black hair, lots of hard miles, but thinks she's a hot 20 year old.
The second time went better, got drinks and food which was ok but not on par with other Italian restaurants in Homburg. Then we decided to order dessert and waited, and waited, and waited. When we finally got a hold if the waitress again she checked and told us it would be another 10min. They obviously just forgot about our order so we paid and left without dessert.
The third and last strike came when we had dinner there again recently. Ordered the Salmon Carpaccio as a starter which came within 3 minutes. That tells me it was not prepared fresh but ok, at least we got it fast. It tasted like just plain raw salmon (no lemon, nothing on it) and wasn't even sliced thinly. Then we waited, waited, waited for our main course. After 25 minutes and seeing how everyone around us already got their food we asked the waitress. She said she'd check and I could see her talking to the kitchen staff. Lots of shoulder twitching, looking for the order, and head shaking told me that once again, they simply forgot. Instead of coming back to give us an update, the waitress just proceded to walk by us multiple times without a word. Our drinks had been empty for a while as well but I had to stop another waiter to at least get drinks ordered. After another 10min our food finally arrived but no apologies or explanations on why it took so long. Food was mediocre...again you can eat better at just about every Italian in Homburg.
Long story short: Avoid this place unless you want to leave angry like we have three times now. Just shows that you can dump a bunch of money in a restaurant but don't have to know a thing about service or good food. read more
