Quite music, low lighting, friendly English speaking staff but a bit elusive as we came at the beginning of busy time so she was running around hoping others. The food-awesome! My husband had the schnitzel and loved it. We all had the escargot that was delicious. I had the local special (first one on the menu) that translates to eel. It was marinated or "cooked" like ceviche is made point is it's not fried/baked etc and more like sushi consistency with sour cream based salad on top and yummy fried potatoes. It's wasn't fishy and I loved it. It's he nearer dish in the pic. One app, one beer, water and entrees was 43.60euros. If we're back in Bremen we'd go back.

Being used to the craft breweries in the USA, I'd done my homework and reviewed the beers listed on Untappd. So I was surprised when I was asked, "Blonde or Red?" But I admire a brewery that limits itself to a couple beers only. The red very cloudy but very pleasant.

They had my reservation (he referenced a sheet) but after I left the restaurant (after dining), I received an email asking why I didn't show up for my reservation. So perhaps they aren't super organized. After I sat down, I ordered beer and it came. Then I sat there for an uncomfortably long time without anyone coming to see if I wanted to order food. Someone finally came to take my order. A table that was seated after me was able to order and get their food before I could even place my order. When the staff was present, the service was great, but it took me a long time to get through this meal and to get out due to all the waiting. Be ready for this if you choose to come here.

This was probably the worst restaurant experience I've had in Bremen. My husband and I came in…read morearound noon on a Thursday with our toddler, and helped ourselves to a table. The place was pretty much empty. There were 2 other occupied tables. After sitting for about 5 minutes and no one offering us a menu, my husband walked to the bartender to ask him for one, and he pointed to where he can get one himself. At this point we had a bad feeling, but we were hungry and had an appointment in an hour, so didn't have time to drive anywhere else. The waiter finally finds his way over to us, takes the order of a couple that was waiting even longer than us, then started walking away. My husband calls out to him to take our order, he apologizes and said he thought his colleague had our table. So, the prices are pretty outrageous... 25 Euro for Spargel and Schnitzel, 17 Euro for what turns out to be a mixed green salad with salty chicken pieces. So, the food comes and is totally flavorless, and I'm pretty sure they forgot to use dressing on my salad, so I asked for some. So, since the food was lousy we assumed that maybe this place is really more about dessert and coffee. We were determined to have something go right in that meal, so we ordered 2 delicious looking pieces of cake from their display window. We promptly received our cake while the dirty dishes and glasses were still on our table. The waiter never brought the coffees we ordered, so my husband again, had to go to the bartender to ask for them. He kindly made them and brought them to our table. While we were finishing our just OK tasting cakes, we saw the waiter bring a different table a piece of cake with a mountain of whipped cream. We didn't get any whipped cream. All in all, a nice looking restaurant, with terrible, overpriced food, an unprofessional wait staff who made us feel unwelcome, and I will never return.

My Bremen family (via husband) have been coming to this local speciality restaurant since the 90's…read more The setting is in an idyllic farm location outside of Bremen; Lilienthal, which clearly hasn't changed in years, if not decades. The menu is seasonal; if not 'Taglich' (daily). The Chef prides himself in cooking everything for all of his guests, for every meal. This particular occasion was a celebration that my Father-in-law arranged for his survival of a recent stroke. My usual preparation to a restaurant visit, old and new, is to read recent reviews. In previous visits to Zur Schleuse, I recall enjoying 'healthified' versions of the menu offerings. Perhaps this was a previous trend? Our respective selections (photos) attached, were much more heavy. In reading reviews, menu guests have experienced the same. I'm wondering if the Chef (or sous-Chef) can consider a 'healthified' menu; where the fish is prepared in simple cooking techniques (poached, grilled, roasted) without so much oil. Also, the menu seems inflexible to any dietary restrictions and allergies (please correct me otherwise). But the fish was clearly fresh and tasty. My husband ordered an extraordinary plum dessert that still remains on my palate. The rustic setting, homestyle atmosphere, welcoming service, made up for any of the above critique. It was (yet another) memorable family meal.
