Restaurant looks nice and the service was ok, but four adults had the salmon and four adults ended up with Food Poisoning. The restaurant needs tp check their storage procedure and I strongly recommend avoiding any food without proper heat treatment.

When you're kayaking you should always stop off at the Alter beer garden. Very good and fast service, good cuisine with a good price-performance ratio.

After a long time I went to the restaurant and was more than disappointed. The waitress apparently had a bad day and unfortunately this was taken out on the guest. But that can still be excused. …

The food was very good, but unfortunately we had to wait an hour for the food despite pre-ordering. Sauerbraten with dumplings and red cabbage. Everything is usually ready. A pity ,
