By the way, if you're ever in Zurich on business, you might want to try staying at the Hotel Sonne…read morein Kusnacht. It's about 10 km from downtown, and 11 minutes by trains that run every 15 minutes (and there's a direct train to the airport.) It's right on the lake, sunny in the afternoons, and the rooms are bigger than you'll get in downtown. Don't get me wrong - it ain't cheap. But all the hotels in Zurich are really expensive, and the Sonne is charming AND... If you walk up the main street, and follow the stream called the Tobler, you come to a ravine trail that is wonderfully Swiss. The waterfalls are sculpted, there are arched bridges over the stream, and this time of year there are teams of civic workers in the forest valley blowing away the leaves! (Even other Zurich residents think this is a bit much.) Up and down is about 15 km with 220 m vertical, and just a great way of working off your Zurcher g'schnetzlets mit Rosti!

UPDATE: Food 3/5 stars…read moreManagement 0/5 stars Service 2/5 stars After the lunch service, the young chef came out to greet his guests. It was clearly obligatory rather than voluntary. He is not the type who appreciates honest feedback. I complemented his food (particularly the veal / beef cheeks) and was shocked that Gregor was unable to share a simple story supporting the creation of the product. That's when we (four of us) decided to share our experience with him in the hopes of making a positive change. Sadly, as soon as we offered honest feedback from our experience today, he became defensive 'I make my food with love' 'I've worked here thirteen years' 'I work 50-60 Hr weeks' 'I can't find good people' 'Staff cost is way too high' 'what more can I do?' He felt personally attacked and that's too bad since he could have received honest feedback for a change. Further more, he claimed that dinner service was better than the 48CHF lunch menu but, IMHO HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN that we did not have the lunch menu. We paid double that price per person btw. He is clearly over worked, full of excuses, and very defensive. ie. Not willing or able to take constructive criticism. On the other side of the spectrum the table next to ours ordered fried fish (Egli) which they were so pleased with, they paid double the market rate. This is a typical 20CHF dish for the region. Unfortunately, the aroma from their fried food affected the entire room and, not in a positive way. The service carried an air of entitlement and delivered the food and wine bistro style with no introductions, no descriptions, and no attention to detail or feedback. The service plan was placed in plain view next to the table rather than behind the scenes. The cork broke off inside the bottle and the waitress (no sommelier in sight) ran off to the kitchen to deal with the error. Instead of decanting, she served the wine in each of four glasses. That was not so terrible. When we informed her that the wine had 'satz' aka grinds / residue and requested that the wine be filtered, she obliged. The shocker came when this waitress poured the filtered wine from the decanter into our partially filled glasses of residue thus ruining our wine completely. How this service team managed to earn a Michelin star is beyond me. The food was good, basic, and well prepared. The calf cheeks were worthy of the star. The rest was nicely done, of good quality but average. Instead of a few surprises in between (amuse bouche) there was nothing until you order coffee. Prior to coffee, four pieces of chocolate flavored, sugar cake were served with no explanation other than 'we always serve cake with coffee'. Two were returned to the kitchen. For the most part, the food deserves its awards. The service deserves the opportunity to look for employment elsewhere. PS. Yes, white tablecloths, carpet and ideal for grandmas.

We started off with the grilled broccolini and the whipped feta. My main was the lamb and salad and the lamb was cooked to perfection. I had a Jamaican mule to accompany my meal . My colleagues's French fries were perfect - if I am back in Zurich, this is definitely a place I am coming back to. Service was absolutely seamless and quick. Ambience was industrial chic

Very romantic and beautiful. The restaurant is fine dining and pricey, but worth every penny. They have an outdoors bar area where you can watch the sunset. All dishes were executed perfectly, great white and red wine selections. My fish was cooked perfectly, crispy skin, server with purple cauliflower, green asparagus and mashed potatoes, everything made sense in the dish the textures and layers of pallet appetizing ingredients. Appetizer had one of the best burrata's I have had served with farm to table tomatoes. The dessert apple strudel, typical German desert executed very well served warm with vanilla ice cream was perfect. I am highly recommending this place!
