Strolling through Rudescheim on a calm November evening we were seeking out a good German…read morerestaurant for dinner. The town was peaceful and quiet - no one around - but it felt quite safe. We passed a few restaurants that seemed open but deserted before coming across Rüdesheimer Schloss Weinhaus. Bright lights, lots of people, and what looked like a lively atmosphere. We were sold! Lively turned out to be an understatement. Unbeknownst to us, our ship's optional excursion to various German beer houses had ended up here, and with a band everyone was in fine fettle! The band played German music then American songs, the group was feeling no pain and dancing up a storm. Definitely lively! We had a nice booth a little farther away where we could observe all the activity but still enjoy our dinner. For us, it was a wonderful experience: delicious, authentic German cuisine, attentive, friendly service in English, and a well appointed,lovely restaurant with obvious history. The main course, the wine, and dessert were all wonderful. A memorable evening!

The restaurant is quite large and is a gathering place for food and drink, serving traditional German dishes (served family style) and local wine and beer. Schloss Weinhaus serves local beer and wine, and the welcoming servers keep everything coming, from starters, main course and desert. They don't slack on the beverages either. The crowning glory is the live music with standard German and American songs (some Elvis, Roll out the Barrel, et). It's a rollicking good time.

We had a great dinner here while in Frankfurt. This place was near our hotel and the train station…read more The menu had a lot of rustic delicious options. We ordered the schnitzel (absolutely delightful - still thinking about it months later!) and yummy sausages and a side of spaetzle. Drank a few very thirst quenching German beers. The wait staff was great -- attentive but not overbearing-- and while it's unlikely we'll be in Frankfurt again, we would definitely visit Klosterhof again if possible.

They're trying to stick to the monastery beer vibe but it doesn't hit the mark in that regard. The old place was cozy and old and felt authentic, this place is new, loud and generic. Maybe it's not so bad and I'm sore because I miss the old place but it just doesn't feel the same. Service was good, food was good, beer cold but it still feels like every other place out there. Probably won't be back, unfortunately. If you like well lit, upscale, generic restaurants try this one out. The food is good but the ambience is off.

A very small wine bar with limited but excellent food options. Large parties were lined up at least…read more30 minutes before opening. We stopped by at opening (18H) and asked if we could make a reservation for a bit later as we wanted to explore the city a bit more. The owner with limited English told us no reservations, just come back. We did just that an hour later and he was able to seat the two of us. The owner suggested a great Riesling. We struggled a bit with the menu in German since the options variety boards and not the typical entrees we had gotten used to so the owner sent out the cook to help us. We ordered a cheese variety plate and a plate with some meat varieties, cheese, and bread. Both included a few pickles and tomatoes. They were exactly the type of light fare we were looking for that night and what we expected at a wine bar. The restaurant was loaded with antique character and fit the image of what you would want a hidden gem winestub in an old city like Cochem to look and feel like. The same larger groups we saw waiting for the opening were still enjoying their meals and more wine which was easy to understand. We started with a glass each, but enjoyed it so much we got a bottle. Highly recommend Alte Gutsschanke!
