We were there for dinner! The food and service were great! Unfortunately, we were unlucky because there was a class reunion there and the room was simply overcrowded and loud! Otherwise absolutely recommended!

Beautiful garden restaurant directly on the Elbe. Only the trains passing by are a bit annoying.

Went there spontaneously without staying overnight. Food was good and also regional. The view of the Elbe is of course very beautiful, the cycle path directly in front of it should be entered carefully as some cyclists pass by very quickly.
