Everything just fits here! From a culinary point of view, everything tasted great and was prepared to perfection. The service is second to none. We have rarely experienced such competent and friendly service.

We had dinner here and my American Husband being in week 5 in Europe was hoping for something different. Well, Forsthaus am See delivered. Starting with the Espresso Martini as an Aperitif, delishes Caesar Salad w Shrimp, to the most exceptional Beef Filet / Steak (from Namibia Africa) and Seafood pan, to the outstanding Creme brûlée.I might add, we live in Colorado and get beef from a grass fed & grass roaming cow from a family farm in Nebraska and with all that, this was the best steak, right here in Feldafing, Bavaria. The staff and owner were as attentive as you wanted them to be. A must eat at Restaurant with the most beautiful views of the Starnberger Sea!

Very nice service, great ambience in a rustic style and an excellent view and still tasty food, although not particularly cheap - but it's worth it.

We were in the restaurant as a group of companies. The location is very nicely located and also very nicely decorated. Even though it is known in this region that it is expensive, for us the performance ratio did not match the prices quoted. In terms of quantity, the food portions are more like trial portions. In addition, the quality is unacceptable, as hardly any fresh ingredients are used. Instead, we often tasted the simplest frozen mushrooms, canned mushrooms and Maggie (such ingredients have no place in this price range). The service was very friendly, but unfortunately too inattentive, e.g. the drink was empty and without actively calling for the service, there was no offer to bring a new one. I can't recommend the restaurant, even though it is perfectly located on the lake.

Excellent kitchen with an more than able staff, handmade Vitello tonnato with a rich and very creamy sauce, the fish was a point and an excellent selection of wines. All natural, no convenience products, very friendly, attentive and easy going.
