Tucked away in a garden plot outside of the city, Zum Nussbaum was recommended to me by my Polish…read moreneighbors. Even though it's between the Griesheim Main River ship locks and the four lanes of traffic on Schwanheimer Ufer, it's a generally quiet restaurant. They offer German and Polish cuisine with bar, hall, and outdoor seating. It's not easy to get to with public transit, but definitely worth a visit. Top Three Highlights: 1.) Quite garden atmosphere 2.) Reasonable pricing and portions 3.) Can accomodate larger groups

This review is for the bar inside the hotel and not the restaurant. The bar inside the hotel, due…read moreto restrictions, has limited seating. Only 30 people can sit at the tables but no one can sit at the bar. I've come here before and they always had a fantastic piano player and it was a fun environment. Now, it is just boring. The two stars is for the service, which is attentive. Zero stars for the cost of the drinks. The cost of the drinks was undisclosed to our group until the bill arrived. €22 for a small stoli martini, which is equivalent to about US$25, is outrageous. Take a look at some of the other charges. I have included the receipt so you will know what you will be in for.... €14for a simple small Manhattan? It was mostly vermouth. €11 for a small shot glass of Sambuca? One scotch, which was approximately 1 ounce, if that, in a glass filled with stones, was €18! My friends were remarking how the stones seemed to absorb all of the scotch! Really! The bill came to €83 and when we looked at the transfer to American dollars on the charge card, it's just about $100. I could've eaten a good dinner at the restaurant for that price. The drinks for really small servings. It's not like you are getting sizeable drinls. The issue I have with this place is they do not tell you what the cost of the drinks are in advance. and there was no drink menus provided on seating. They just ask what you want to order with no menu in sight. This is not a large city in America, such as New York, but they are charging equivalent prices. If you go, you definitely want to ask what you will be charged in advance . After being charged US$100 for just a few drinks and a couple coffees, we felt cheated. There was nothing special about the drinks or the environment. We won't be back.

Overall amazing experience. The hostess started it off right by greeting us so warmly and giving…read moreus a choice of seating. There probably isn't more than 20 tables but all are great choices. We had a 4 course dinner that was phenomenal. From steak tartar to halibut, sordfish, duck and dessert. The servers were attentive but not overbearing. Great place for a special dinner. Not good for big groups or children. Dress is smart casual. Ask to see the wine cellar.
