Ein sehr schönes Restaurant, das Essen ist traumhaft lecker, ich empfehle den Flammkuchen classic und den leckeren Nachtisch, alles in einem ist es eines meiner Lieblingsrestaurants, da dort alles stimmt! Das Restaurant ist sehr schön gestaltet, und die Bedingungen sind sehr freundlich. Dieses Restaurant ist auf jeden Fall weiter zu empfehlen!

My boyfriend and I had Grauburgrunder, Roast beef tonato for starters, Lach vom Grill and Carbonara as Hauptspeise. We also had Tiramisu for dessert. We even ended up taking another order of carbonara to go. Food is really good and their people are very friendly!

Essen war wirklich exzellent - allerdings haben wir ewig gewartet (selbst auf die Vorspeise) und das, obwohl wir, neben einem anderen Tisch, die einzigen im Restaurant waren. Ich hab wirklich seit Ewigkeiten nicht mehr so derart lange gewartet. Die Bedienung hat auch eher unprofessionell und schüchtern gewirkt. Beim gebackenen Feta hätten wir uns ein angeröstetes Brot oder sogar Sauerteigbrot gewünscht statt Baguette - ansonsten war das Essen wirklich sehr gut.

Wunderschönes und geschmackvolles Ambiente. Nettes Personal. Das Essen wird liebevoll angerichtet und schmeckt super lecker. Ich habe schon oft dort Hauptgerichte und Nachtische gegessen und wurde jedes Mal von meinen Erwartungen übertroffen. Ich habe dort auch bereits 4 Firmenveranstaltungen mit Kunden gehabt und alle ( insgesamt ca. 100 ) Personen waren sehr zufrieden und haben vom Essen und der netten Gastfreundlichkeit dort geschwärmt. Natürlich komme ich wieder und lege jedem wärmsten ans Herz dieses Restaurant auszuprobieren.
