So what could of been a 1 star review turned out to be a 4 star review. Thank goodness for the fabulous "Tina Turner Tribute Show." I had made 8:00 p.m. restaurant reservations months ago when planning our trip to Basel. Conveniently this place was within walking distance of where we were staying. My friend and I arrived at 8:00 p.m. to find a line and a gentleman manning the entry way. He asked if we were here for the Concert? I told him we had dinner reservations and he let us in. Then we were told that because of the time of our dinner reservation was, it overlapped the time the concert was starting and we had purchase concert tickets $40 each in order to eat at the restaurant that we already had reservations for.
Not happy at this point and exhausted from traveling and the time change... my friend paid the $80. We went upstairs to be seated in a tiny table squashed between 2 tables with people overflowing into our table for 2 with barely any space. In addition, not only did they not have English menus, it was definitely hot and I mean HOT. We ended up leaving and grabbing a burger at a local pub near by.
After we ate and calmed down, we thought to check out the concert that we did already pay for... it was amazing, Slightly cooler, first floor which made it bearable. It was great! Seemed like mostly locals, hardly any tourist which was nice. I wish I would of known the lay of the land better and I would of loved to try the restaurant. read more
