Awesome dishes in a very cozy nautical-themed restaurant in Dresden! We were helped by a friendly…read morewaitress (Kristin?) who did her best even though we didn't speak much German at all. It all worked out great in the end! We ordered the three-fish-fillet plate, the breaded sea plaice plate, a salad of mixed vegetables and a dessert of sea buckthorn creme brulee. Everything was incredibly delicious, well plated and well executed! Lots of the ingredients were fairly unique and not stuff that one would commonly see in the US. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for good seafood in Dresden. In particular, they offer a number of high quality freshwater fish which are difficult to find in other places, like zander. Definitely do keep in mind that this place serves rather large portions (it's a good thing!) -- we finished everything but I was definitely really stuffed by the end. The restaurant is easily reachable by tram and one good idea is to first take a walk around the Grand Garden in Dresden and then head to dinner at Schwindts. We stayed even a little after closing (it took quite a bit of time to read and figure out the menu) and not once were they pushy about trying to get us to leave.

Deutschland kann weder Cocktails noch Margarita herstellen - es gab kein Eis - ich war überwältigt. Nichts auf dem Buffet war mexikanisch, nicht der Reis, die Garnelen waren verkocht und das Steakfleisch war schrecklich. Die Dessertbar war schrecklich. Um es authentischer zu machen, hätte man Churros servieren können. Es war gelinde gesagt enttäuschend. Das einzig Authentische hier sind die Jarritos-Getränke.

Cooks are desperately trying to come up with innovative dishes. A variation of seafood products of which only the tuna sashimi is good. And for good reason, it requires no preparation. The baby calamari are centuries old and rubbery, the scallop gratin is bathed in the water rendered by the cheese, etc. The beef tartare is super-fat and original with mustard ice cream. The lightly filo breaded prawns are quite good. Don't order the cheese plate : it looks like under blister cooked cheese of low class supermarket. Crêpes Suzette are tasty and prepared on an old kitchen stove of a military cart. Professional service, probably the best of this pretentious fable.
