Place is really cute. Nice atmosphere…read more After reading other reviews it seams that they have a rotating menu and a couple waiters/waitresses do speak a little English. Our waiter helped us with the menu and gave us recommendations. We had a pretty good Dunkle for a beer option. The duck was great and the stroganoffs was really good too. No noodles. I guess that's a bit Americanized if there are noodles. The gravy on both was delicious. We had the chocolate cake and a coffee ice cream float for dessert.

This was probably one of the weirdest dining experiences I've had in Germany…read more The restaurant/biergarten was tucked away in the city center of Schwerin. For some reason I had this vision of like a Hofbrauhaus or some sort of classic German building with these exquisite murals painted on the way. It took me a minute to figure out the restaurant was right in front of me; very modern design for the face of the building. Upon walking inside, you get a very cozy, family feel (we were seated toward the entrance which didnt give us a chance to see the rest of the establishment. The hosts and waiters were extemely nice. Even though most of them did not speak a lot english, they tried and worked with us. Most of the tables seemed to be reserved, but they were able to squeeze us (and our baby stroller in) last minute. So props to them. Food, on the other hand, was interesting for a lack of a better description. I ordered a creamy tomato soup, but it was pretty much a bowl of marina sauce one would use on pizza, garnished with green onions and croutons (could have done without the greens). For the entrees, we order the Lammragrout (lamb stew) and Omas Saurfleish (sour, pickled pork). Both dishes were cold when served. The sour pork came in a mini mason jar, but seemed like it was just freshly taken out of the fridge. It looked like meat particles floating in a vat of its own gelatinous fat. Im giving the benefit of the doubt that this is how it was intended to be served. Not a bad taste, but I had my mind set on a warm meal. My wife's lamb stew came on a cast iron skillet which gave the impression that it was going to be hot. Her first spoonful came up short and it was rather cold. In fact, she ended up burning her mouth with the potatoe wedges instead. Throwing those bad boys into the stew was how she ended up heating it. Three quarters of the way into her meal, she bit into something hard. When she retrieve this solid particle from her mouth, it looked like what was a fish bone (the lamb they used must have had a small rack/rib cage I'm guessing). We both ended up laughing it off and still enjoyed our experience. Sometimes its the little things - you either let it ruin your day or move on and rise above.

Food was excellent even during COVID time. I was visiting this place for lunch with my girlfriend…read more The steak and potatoes, salmon and potatoes tasted really good. Highly recommend it. Lovely terrace in front of the lake.

Great service, food, and beer need I say more. Staff were very understanding for the little German…read moremy wife and I were able to speak.
