We were invited to a family celebration for lunch. Hello staff, polite and accommodating. However, the food could still be worked on. However, spaetzle doesn't go well with sauerbraten with red cabbage, it didn't look like it would be better to serve dumplings or potatoes. Otherwise nice view.

Since we like the location with the view of the Elbe, we came here again after a long time and were not disappointed. The food was excellent and plentiful for us. Wine was also very good. Service was friendly and not intrusive.Our DDFF card was accepted without any problems.Can only recommend the restaurant.

Great restaurant with a wonderful view, good cuisine, high prices and very good service.The history of the inn goes back to 1870. This is beautifully described in the menu along with the local history.There is still part of the old Elbe terrace as an outdoor seating/beer garden. This is beautifully shady and partly paved, with a beautiful view over the Elbe.Inside, everything is modern and dark.The menu is balanced and the offering is very good. There are many choices, from small starters to dessert.Everything is in the upper price range and nothing for those on a tight budget.The service was very friendly, courteous and quick.We have been guests here a few times.The fish soup is a small bowl of soup that is a little over-spiced/over-seasoned with a lot of vegetables, some fish and shrimp. At this price there is still room for improvement in terms of quality.The Cordon Bleu was very tasty, well stuffed and fried juicy. If you're really hungry, you should choose an appetizer.Chips and peas were good.Here, too, there is still room for improvement in terms of price-performance ratio.The Viennese veal schnitzel was delicious, large portion, simply top and highly recommended despite the hefty price.The selection of drinks is completely sufficient. There are regional and well-known brands of wine, beer, various and non-alcoholic drinks. Of course there is a sufficient selection of warm drinks.The view over the Elbe is great and you can also go for a walk here.The restaurant can be reached by public transport.Limited parking spaces are available. In the evening it becomes rather difficult. If the weather is nice, you should also make a reservation in the garden, otherwise you could be out of luck.The minus point is that the location is not barrier-free and suitable for people with disabilities. The clean modern toilets are in the basement.The beer garden is rather uneven and has steps, but with a walker it gets exciting.Conclusion: So far it's always been good, you can occasionally afford it with the necessary change. Very nice atmosphere with a great view in summer. But there is still room for improvement to the 5th star.

A beautiful restaurant in a wonderful location and excellent service. Unfortunately, the food was a bit lacking in pizzazz and was a bit carelessly prepared for my taste. It will definitely be better the second time 😊

I love the restaurant and was more than satisfied recently. Just great and the very friendly waiter, who I already know, is still always super friendly and accommodating.

Were there repeatedly for dinner.This time we weren't completely satisfied.Service attentive...greatUnfortunately the fish soup is not worth its price.Fried potatoes were lukewarm, soggy and the fat had drowned the salad.I really wanted it because the brawn is excellent.The in-house lemonade consisted of a little syrup and lots of ice cubes and water.It was tastier the other day.It's a shame, but I won't compromise on prices anymore.

The restaurant has a very nice location directly on the Elbe. The staff is attentive and courteous. However, the food is definitely not worth the price. The portions are small and convenience products are served. The restaurant has more potential.

Top location directly on the Elbe and the Elbe cycle path. The terrace is lovely in summer.We are repeatedly very satisfied with the food and the service (only visiting the restaurant - not in the hotel). Everything freshly prepared and very tasty! The prices are high (but where will that not be the case in 2024). Beer at the moment €5.20 - fair price.We'd love to come back!
