Combination Hotel/Restaurant/Biergarten gone upscale. Admittedly I never visited the old…read moreGerbermühle. We biked over from downtown and were fairly hungry upon arrrival. The place is separated between Hotel Restaurant with an outdoor terrace and a regular biergarten. We were not aware that the two had different menus as we found seats in the biergarten. Actually they call it a Sommergarten which apparently fits the theme of going upscale from the previous version. The Sommergarten menu somehow just didn't make sense to me. The fare was sort of standard biergarten fare albeit with no Schnitzel. There was Handkäs, Rindwurst from Graf Vösling, Schweinshaxe, Spareribs, Lyoner Wurstsalat, and Flammkuchen. I guess the idea is that the new clientele is weight conscious so there was no bratkartoffel or Pomme Frites on offer. The meat dishes were served with a humble slice of rye bread and a dab of mustard. Somehow the concept just didn't work for me. We ended up bolstering our order with some handkäs (good enough) and the house special potato salad (unimpressive). The Schweinshaxe was fine and the rindswurst as well. Gerbermühle only offers the BInding line of beer (Römer Pils or Schöfferhoffer) so negative points there. There were a number of interesting looking wines on offer, none of which you'd be embarrrassed to drink but prices did seem slightly high. But I simply don't understand what they expect their customers to pair with a nice Rheingau Riesling or even a Veuve Clicquot. Does that go with the Rindswurst and mittelscharfe Senf? Or maybe the spareribs? I mean, if your winelist overshadows your beer list, shouldn't you offer food appropriate to the wine? Service was unexceptional. Ambience is lovely (direct on the Main). The Hotel itself has been renovated with an eye for design flair, succeeding here and failing a bit there. I'd like to try again for the regular menu.otherwise an OK place. I have to add there were two nattily dressed blokes there who were actually sharing a cigar (!!!). Frankly I'm a bit averse to going anywhere that let's that sort of thing go on without having a burly cook come out and bludgeon them to death with a schnitzel hammer.

Giant schnitzel headlined my afternoon at Platzhirsch, with happy service and plenty of time to…read morelinger. Since many places close up tight in the afternoons with no exceptions, it was nice to spend a crisp fall midday imbibing on comfort food. Of course you get the beer choices as well, and it was tempting to stay until supper. Plenty of other good solid choices on the menu will wrap you in warm hugs of krout and potatoes, filling out that sausage plate nicely. Walk or ride up from the river path, and I'll look for you on the return visit.

Lovely Bavarian cuisine in Frankfurt. It also has local dishes. Very nice interior and good service.read more

I used to come here some ten years ago before moving to New England. This used to be a great spot…read morefor business guests or team dinners. So I was keen to visit again. I was surprised to see the mediocre reviews. My take: We reserved online using the booking form on their webpage. I picked email contact and received a prompt confirmation. Atmosphere outside in the beer garden is still great, partially under a tent (people were sitting there while it was raining a bit). We were inside. Country style old German interior matching the theme of the restaurant. Service: good, no complaints. Food: we had the Wurstsalat with pan fried potatoes (good, a bit too many red onion pieces for my taste), Kaesspaetzle (good) and the crispy pork knuckle. The latter was not crispy, a bit on the dry side and an overpowering and salty onion sauce (why? Regular beer sauce would fit way better). Disappointing. The side of Sauerkraut was good, prices as well. I had an Augustiner beer from Munich, somewhat unusual for the area, but great. Summary: still great atmosphere and great for a summer evening sitting outside. Food is so-so. Ok place, but not a must visit.

I used to love this place and not sure what happened but tonight was really disappointing. I booked…read moreto go here with two other colleagues and they were equally disappointed. I feel bad about recommending this place now :-( The charm is there but the food was ordinary. The starter of Grünesoße (one of my favourite dishes) was tasteless. My colleagues made the same comment. My main of Tafelspitz was also dry and not tasty at all. The dessert looked ugly on a plate and was tasteless. Not sure if they have changed hands but this place went from being one of my favourites to bottom of the list in one night. Truly disappointed at this experience and I won't be coming back here again :-( I used to love coming here and it's a shame that I will have to find another hang out when visiting my office in Frankfurt.
