For all intents and purposes "the" destination meal of a trip to Germany, Victor's Fine Dining by…read moreChristian Bau will forever be remembered as the second Michelin 3* Restaurant walked out of, nearly four hours after sitting down and still with several plates to go as the staff largely ignored the solo American in favor of tables speaking German.
26 minutes *average* between courses, including Amuse and Course 1. Guest inquiries about technique or ingredients met by "I don't know" or "I'll find out" with no answer. Empty plates lingering on the table for nine minutes in a room with 1:3 ratio of servers to diners.

And to cap it off, an e-mail to the restaurant explaining the issues entirely ignored.
No matter how good the Food, and yes the Langoustine was stunning, there is simply no excuse for an experience so poor, and particularly not at this level or a cost of over 200€ after a quarter was sliced of the total for items skipped en route to better Restaurants.
