What we both really liked was the atmosphere. Because the design of the restaurant is very modern and good looking. They have wooden tables and a wall out of stones. A very good experience over all and we definetely come back for a dinner again.

A very inviting patio up front offered outdoor seating, but we chose to eat inside due to our somewhat loud group. (We didn't want to ruin the romantic atmosphere for the couples up front.) Interesting menu, with a combo of Continental cuisine, German specialities, plus Thai and indonesian dishes. (The owner/chef is Indonesian). A really nice wine list too. Through the surreal fog of that day's jet lag I do recall a fabulous meal. My Rendang Beef was tender and nicely spiced - sort of a deconstructed version, but still excellent. And unlike most Swiss restaurants, they didn't skimp on the spicing here. I broke into a mild sweat from my meal (that's a good thing) The decor and design of the restaurant is clean and modern; somewhat upscale, with nice tableware and glassware. Everything felt brand new. And at the same time, they were very dog-friendly. I saw more than one dog under a table (though I've learned this may be a general Swiss thing, not restaurant specific.) At one point the owner came out, greeted us all, and shook each and every one by the hand, even the kids. It's hard to get better treatment than that!

One can tell that they put thoughts and good effort in equaling the view with culinary value. We were a party of 7, and lucky enough to get a table just the day of. I wanted to try a Swiss specialty, and broke my vegetarian diet by ordering a dish of river perch with shaved almonds. It was quite tender and flavorful - note "flavorful" is usually not associated with Swiss cuisine :-). My fellow diners, esp. the carnivores, reported similar satisfaction with their choices, including sausage, ham and beef stroganoff. The summer salad is a rainbow of fresh veggies, feasting both stomach and eye. We also each ordered a scoop of ice-cream. My scoop of apricot tasted like a silky, frozen puree of fresh, ripe apricots - truly amazing!

The lunch menu presents some variation; now, venison may be served if you are in that type of food during fall. I had a Bündner Gerstensuppe (barley soup), which was excellent. Also, the veal Cordon-Bleu was a must that evening. It was weirdly squared but just superb in taste. The vegetables, nothing to write home about. But what really knocks my socks off every time I go to that place is the stunning view over the Birseck area, Basel city, in the far the Basel airport and Elsass.
