    We wanted to try this place based on their menu choices and location. We were able to get a table out on the terrace to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and the river views. Our server was very helpful in answering our questions and describing some of their dishes. We tried their hot cheese pie with a side salad, their macaroni and a dish with a phylo dough bowl filled with a meat stew which was amazing! Sorry I can't remember what the dishes were called but everyone was very happy with their choices. The food, service and ambiance was perfect!

    Fantastic fondue, service and ambience! We have been eating cheese fondue forever and this was so delicious and not too filling.

    We ordered the cheese fondue and it was pretty tasty. The bread was a bit too airy and plain but the soft potatoes were good. The best pet of this restaurant is the view with our reserved table being right by the water. We took that plain bread and fed it to the ducks, and later to the swans. Seating is very tight as they sat another couple right beside us. So forget about having a nice intimate dinner with your partner.

    This is one of the best views for dinner in Lucerne. I tried the Chardonnay cream soup, which was absolutely delicious and the alpine macaroni. We also had the best waiter who was very funny and attentive. We did not need a reservation on a Wednesday night but were lucky to get one of few tables on the terrace.

    Wine and cheese!

    Delicious cheese fondu in a historic villa. This is the way fondu should be enjoyed, over a delicious glass of Swiss wine overlooking Lake Lucerne in the old town. Our waitress had 20 tables yet still managed to be available whenever we had a request. If ONLY cheese was a healthy diet, I'd eat here every day. The seating was very tight, due to the age of this business (people were smaller then...) we fortunately fit nicely with a side table pulled up to accommodate our wine bottle and fondu pot, but a larger person would struggle.

    The fondu was excellent. The cordon blue was terrific. The service was great. Our party of four got there pretty close to closing time, but they didn't rush us out of there. Priced relatively reasonable for Switzerland. The wine was tasty. I'd definitely go back.

    My friend and I came here for chocolate fondue shortly before the restaurant closed. Their kitchen was closed, but they were still serving desserts! We were really impressed by how many items came with the fondue. The chocolate was room temperature at first, but heated up over time. Not a bad deal at less than $15 per person. And not to mention, amazing views of the lake! The restaurant also had a great atmosphere, with an indoor/outdoor layout. The furniture was funky and there were purple lights all around, which enhanced the mood. Next time I would have to try some of the entrees, but for dessert and good vibes, I highly recommend!

    Had dinner here in early October. It was a bit cool, so we didn't want to sit outside by the river, on their crooked, wobbly tables. They gave us a table upstairs, inside, but for some reason assigned us to a cramped, tiny table by a window without view, even though there were plenty of other free tables. I had the classic "Pastetli" vol au vent pastry filled with veal and a white sauce. The food was ok but not great. Service was friendly though.

    Great service and ambiance all around. If you get a chance to sit outside by the water do it! Food was great. The fondue definitely something you need to get used too with the taste. Very strong and pungent. But overall great experience

    An upscale and hip burger and wing spot in the center of a European city, what's not to love?!…read more We popped in as our last meal in Switzerland and were extremely grateful for the staff to allow us to eat even though we didn't have a reservation. (Note: make a reservation if you dream of eating here) After looking through the menu we started with the house-flavored wings and LOVED them. In fact, my wife thought they were some of the best she's ever had! We then both had burgers and shared fries. The portions are very well-sized and I don't think you'll leave hungry. The flavor and food quality helps with that aspect as well - both are top notch! The ambiance is super chill while maintaining an upscale fit and finish. On a nice day you could even eat outside at their tables, would be a wonderful treat given the little square it borders. A word of caution: prices are at a premium (even for Switzerland). I'm a fan of Wolf and couldn't recommend it enough for lunch or dinner. Get a reservation for tomorrow and thank me later.

    A good burger place in the city with a nice little park right beside the outdoor seating. The…read moreservice was good and friendly. We had one burger and one chicken sandwich. The sandwiches are fair size and come with all the fixings you want or plain if that's your thing. Both had good flavor and were cooked just right. They are also a brewery. I had the in house Wolf Beer pale. It had good body and went down easy.
