I'm not a fan of Black Forest but supposedly this was the place that it was made from. I came here…read moreand sat with a beer and didn't even order the Black Forrest since I didn't really feel like eating cake. But service was good and the servers asked if I needed anything extra and also checked up on me. The lake is quite pretty even though I went during the winter time. Not that many tourist as what I expected but maybe because I went during off season. I loved this small little place with a few things but the lake was marvelous especially when the sun was setting. I still have that in my memory and I'm glad I just sat down and enjoyed my nice beer.

Let's be honest, there's not a ton of amazing food options in view of the lake. You have a handful…read moreof hotel restaurants, one or two takeaway joints and an avalanche of mediocre restaurants. Sadly, this is one of the mediocre places. I only had dessert, but even that was just average. Coffee was coffee, and the Black Forest cake was forgettable. It wasn't evil or anything, but the best I can say about it is that it could serve as a benchmark for other cakes while traveling around the Black Forest.

Good place for a lunch. Maultaschen with Chanterelles were great. The potato soup of my wife also…read more Drinks as expected. Service orders with PDAs. So everything comes fast. Waiters are typical German (with a strong Polish accent.) straight, blunt and short. Sometimes more presence would have been nice. I thought 5 stars for lunch and on Bistro level fits, but then I saw the toilets. Sorry, it was not pleasant at all. 1 star lost.

To get five stars, you have to knock my socks off. We only were stopping to get black-forest cake…read morewhile on a tour, so this review is from that perspective. Nothing super great, definitely nothing bad. Tourist place for sure. Black-forest cake is a must have while in the black-forest, so we did. This place was nice and the cake was good. Service was decent, probably even a little accommodating. I forgot we were in Germany so I left all my Euros in Zurich and only had USD and CHF. The waitress at first didn't want to do a credit card but then said okay since I didn't have the correct currency. That was nice. Definitely a nice place to stop for cake!

Visited Zur Mühle after a boat ride on Lake Titisee for lunch and Black Forest cake! The food was…read moreokay - nothing special - and the cake left something to be desired. I liked the flavor but it was not what I was expecting - less chocolate, and a very small slice! It is a big restaurant with lots of indoor seating and restrooms. Lots of tourists (like me)! Wish I tried their ice cream desserts because they looked good on the menu.
