The service is great very friendly and attentive also with elderly people. Their speciality are skewers in many different ways - so everyone will find one. They are ok, well done and you will get enough food not leaving the table hungry ;-). But do not expect gourmet food or freshly made veggies ... that's not why you are coming to this place - it's the ambiance, sitting in this beautiful garden and enjoying some food and some drinks.. and sharing some fairy tales with family or friends becoming part of a story.

The card has different meat portions to choose from, starting from 200grams, up to 400grams. The evening I went , there was a choice of Australien beef. I took the 300gram portion with rice. It was served sizzling on a hot stone accompanied by three dips (chili, mustard and mayonnaise). The meat was tender and tasty, you had almost no need to chew it. Delicious. I took two glasses of red wine (Barolo) to go with it. I finished the dinner with a good portion of apricot sorbet. The meal cost me around 80.- CHF. So it's a bit expensive. And as a warning, as all meat is served sizzling on a hot stone, the whole restaurant after a certain time is enveloped in a fog. So I had to wash all my clothes.

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!
