And very much worth the wait. I wanted to recommend a dish, but to be truthful, all their entrees are delicious. I will add that their wait staff are excellent. They do yeoman's duty filling orders. Please leave generous tips. They earn it. Please visit Ainsley's. I'm just a Hermann native fortunate enough to eat there every chance he gets. I promise you'll thank me.

We saw the cook carrying a bag of frozen onion rings into the kitchen, which was a bit of a red flag. The server was very nice and accommodating, I was just more disappointed in the lack of fresh food in the summer...there were fresh elements, but largely not locally sourced.

Both served with hot German potato salad and red cabbage. We split the meal and couldn't decide which was best. Both were outstanding! Paired with local red wine and they were surprisingly delicious. Best authentic German meal we've had in many years. Waitress was a little meek but very efficient. Manager stopped by and she was bubbly and fun. Only slight disappointment was they ran out of Black Forest cake. Supposed that a good reason to come back.

I had soup and salad and my husband had the German trio. Seriously best meal in Hermann and worth the extra time to slow down and wait for it. Recommend a reservation.

We still wanted to at least try a slushy to go. The slushy service was quick for it being so busy, we got our slushies pretty fast and headed to our next stop, but the slushes just weren't our favorites either. The Honey Lavender Lemonade flavor had no other flavor than just vodka. The Strawberry Amaretto Shortcake was ok, it was just so sugary that there wasn't much flavor other than overpowering sweetness. The price was definitely a little high too for what we got in the end for two medium-sized slushes. The vibe seemed cute, so we want to come back and give it another shot one day for the food at least! Maybe some different slush flavors too.

This one was light and sweet. If you are vegetarian they have black been burger and portobello mushroom burgers. The fries were fries in beef tallow and it tasted like bacon.

First and foremost, our waiter was great and that's where it ended…read more We started with the crabcakes. They were so salty they were nearly impossible to eat and lacked any flavor of crab. Being in a German town, we had been looking for some good German food, so I was very pleased to see sauerbraten on the menu. The mashed potatoes were the best part of the plate. The fried cabbage lack seasoning and flavor, but the most disappointing part of the meal was the Sauerbraten. I sent it back to the Cook and the manager to see if they could cut the meat. It was literally impossible to cut with a knife and the idea of even chewing it became impossible. Now when I complain at a restaurant I never do it with the intention of receiving any kind of consideration off of the check. However, our waiter came back to tell me that the sauerbraten had been taken off of the bill. I explained that wasn't necessary and went ahead and paid the bill. Interestingly, the sauerbraten had not been removed from the Bill and I paid the $64 bill allowing for a decent tip for our waiter. My suggestion is find another place in town to eat.

Sunday brought us back to Hermann for an anniversary lunch, and Tin Mill was one of our top choices…read moreto check out. Located in a repurposed grain elevator at the entrance to historic downtown, right across from the Amtrak station and near the banks of the Missouri River, this restaurant makes great use of its picturesque space. Needless to say, we had high hopes. Everything at Tin Mill is crafted towards a wonderful experience: prompt, friendly service, low lighting and low ceilings to create an intimate dining setting, a wide range of local (as in, right-across-the-street local) whiskey, wine, and beer selections, and delicious food choices. My only complaint is really self-directed: I wish I had paid more attention to the separate lunch and dinner menus. In practice, I guess that means we'll need to drive back to try the prime rib next time. My wife and I started with drinks and appetizers while narrowing down the best main plate for a chilly fall afternoon. I opted for the whiskey flight, which include four local bourbon and rye samples. I tend to prefer rye, but my personal favorite was probably the Black Shire Bourbon (disclaimer: they were all great and you really can't go wrong as a casual whiskey fan, in my opinion). The bread starter was an excellent appetizer served with an ample helping of creamy butter. We try to make a rule not to fill up on bread at the start of a meal, and we luckily managed to exercise self-control once again. Torn between something we thought might be a bit lighter and healthier and something we knew we would be immediately satisfying, we finally went for the latter. I ordered the Deep Fried Chicken Sandwich and my wife tried the Brisket Grilled Cheese. The menu names and descriptions already let you know what to expect, but I did enjoy the chicken's crispy texture along with the flavor combo of curried aioli and apple slaw topping. Hermann has so many cool boutique stores, coffeehouses, and restaurants to try and we're excited to make our trip out an anniversary tradition. Tin Mill is worth checking out if you find yourself celebrating a special occasion or looking for a nice lunch on your way through town.

The appetizer was not good but we thought it could just be a fluke, no biggie!! Our food came and everyone's was cold except one meal. The one meal that was warm was the ravioli, so hard and overcooked that it would've been of better use as charcoal. Waitress was kind of rude and not very helpful. We let her know that all the food was cold and she just walked off. Someone came over 10 minutes later and told us they would discount our food, which we thought was very kind. Another 20 minutes passed by and we had to ask the hostess for our bill. My total discount was -$1.50, the poor veteran discount that they give. The salad tasted like dirt.
