We were guests in their restaurant this evening. We were 7 people and a toddler.We were greeted very friendly by a waiter. There was really a lot to do and he had everything under control, even though he had to handle the counter and the serving alone.The food was very tasty and we were all able to eat at the same time, even though everyone ordered something different.We would be happy to come back to your restaurant as guests.

The Gasthaus Zur Post has very good and delicious cuisine. The service is excellent, courteous and very attentive and the idea 'may it be a small salad' is very business-promoting 😀👍. The menu contains good German food, from schnitzel to roast to salad, everything is very good. The beef roulade was tender as butter and I found the side salad particularly delicious, as each raw vegetable was specially dressed and the dressing rounded it off deliciously. On our second visit we ate a large salad plate with schnitzel. The terrace is well protected from the street by the surrounding hedge and offers a beautiful view of Lake Constance. We can clearly recommend the restaurant.

The Gasthaus zur alten Post serves typical regional and also some Hungarian specialties. The beer garden is small but nice. The adjacent street doesn't bother you. There are enough parking spaces available.Service is friendly and attentive and the food is delicious. The menu is sufficiently large and offers something for every taste.

Spent a night here on my bike tour around Lake Constance.The hotel and restaurant were fine. Room big enough. Unfortunately it is located on a thoroughfare, which of course can be a bit loud.Breakfast can still be improved a bit, perhaps a little more selection of different things (e.g. cheese, sausage, etc.) Otherwise it was okay.
