I feel that it is totally worth it especially if you're a tourist and really want to soak in some of the best sites of the city. The restaurant has a very romantic vibe so it would be great for a date, dinner with friends or family, or something more social versus a business location. Our server was extremely polite and all around there was top-notch five star service. Everything that we ordered came out pretty fast and to say that they were very attentive would be an understatement. I started off my meal with a really nice glass of Bordeaux and it really got my hunger going for what was ahead. For my starter I chose the Saumon Marine which is basically a Salmon Crudo and I thought it was great. It was light and refreshing and woke up my taste buds for my entrée, which was the Sole Meunière. I've had this dish many times in my life at many different locations and this was one of the better ones I've had in a long time. It was made perfectly and the flavors lasted throughout the rest of the night. I would highly recommend ordering it and I also would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. It was one of our more memorable moments of our time in Basel.

Went to celebrate my birthday and it gave royalty from making the reservation to my exit. I was greeted by David, who was extremely kind and pulled out my chair like a gentleman, for me to have a view of all the action (people watching). First dish were three oysters and veal. It was my first time having the veal and David assured me it would be great and that, it was. Next, was the selection of some mocktails (a ginger based beverage and a sparkling rose minus the alcohol) which were two excellent choices with great price points. Next, the main course. I had the fish with potatoes, mini tomatoes and spinach. That was also a 10/10. The dessert was a great close to the experience and I went with the crème brulee. It was excellent! And let me not forget about the fresh bread and butter. It was all so good and the staff were phenomenal; every single one of them. I loved the experience and cannot wait to be back in Basel. That'll be my spot to dine for sure. You're welcome and enjoy!

Food: my girlfriend and i ordered the beer fondue. it wasnt a big portion but it was really one of the best fondues i had! the cool thing is instead of bread (which is sometimes dry) they gave us warm bretzels. really good! wish i could eat fondue only with bretzels! Service: they were nice. sometimes not very attentive but totally ok. Atmosphere: its not a special atmosphere. but the good thing is that you can even sit outside in a little alley if its nice weather. even at high temperatures it wont be too hot there. additionally in the inside the have a "zapfhahne" on a table where you can take infinite beer on self-service. and in the end they give you the bill of all the beer summed up, pretty cool!
