Food was great and service was excellent. I am gluten free and dairy free the waitress accommodated…read moremy dietary restrictions with the chef. I had the duck. It was yummy! The portion size was also very generous. Half a duck with 3 potato dumplings... Oh yes, the chef made me gluten free potato dumplings! There weren't that many items on the dessert menu that I could have but the fresh fruit salad (no cream) was delicious as well. I am sad I didn't discover this place until my last night in Jena.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! The only reason there is one star is for the view. We went for Friday lunch, and…read morewe're the only ones in the restaurant (should have been a hint). Our food tasted TERRIBLE. My burger looked and tasted like it was microwaved after being in the freezer, and my friend had to cut the meat off his spare ribs it was so hard. The brat potatoes (a typical German dish) were oily and soggy and not at all cooked correctly. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO ANY OTHER RESTAURANT!!

Wow! The food here was excellent. The menu has some unusual items, and I can only vouch for what…read moreI had, but the venison was the best ever, the dumplings eere amaxing, and the apple pie had me wanting to lick the plate. The service was a little imperfect, or this place would have gotten a rating of five from me. It was partly my fault, though, since I do not speak German yet.

Really nice ambient and kind service. The food was very delicious for those who love local German…read morecuisine. It would've been a five star review if the lightning on our table would've been brighter since I wanted to see the nice placed food on the plate a bit better. If you're just there for taking a good drink e.g. whine or local liquor, it's a very good restaurant. In summer you can sit outside near the river

No English menu but you cannot go wrong with any of the items circled on the attached menu. Our…read moreserver was fabulous and tried to explain the dishes to us in English. We received a complimentary appetizer from the kitchen; it was an amazing egg and salmon concoction with slices of bread. It was so amazing that when we ran out of bread my husband ate it with a spoon..haha...sit outside on the patio and enjoy listening to the locals who gather here.

Gorgeous, hearty, German fare…read more The interior is clean, bright, and Bavarian. We all split the pork knuckle, pork pulled pretzel burger, spinach dumpling in blue cheese sauce, and the steak & spaetzle. The portions were all ginormous and hearty - everything was amazing. Staff are very polite :)

Really wanted to like this place. Took a seat and waited....and waited. Waitress with blond hair…read morewas drinking a glass of wine with friends at another table and too busy to serve anyone. I got up to get service inside, after waiting and , as she saw me go inside. she responded in German that she would be there when she was finished. OK, why didn't you come over whileI waited? Too busy drinking with friends? Drink on your own time! A different waitress approached and started to berate me, in English, claiming her colleague was just talking with friends and not drunk on the job. Really! Ok. Good try. but your "colleague" never came over to serve me at all and you did! She had a wine glass in her hand and was drinking! I don't care she's drinking, I just want a drink! Then, the new waitress started complaining and berating me because I I placed the menu she gave me on a wet table after a rainfall . OK, do blame me? Clean the table. It's your job . Where was I supposed to put the menu? Served my drink by a guy. Third person I saw. Where was my waitress? No tip. No food order. Never come again... Very Disappointed. I was ready to spend a lot of money having a good time but the mood was spoiled. Recommend the management supervise their personnel to make sure they are serving customers instead of drinking.
