On a recent visit with a friend and his daughter, my wife and my daughter (both children under 3 y…read moreold), we loved the interior, the food and the wine. Unfortunately, the service was about the worst thing that ever happened to us in Frankfurt or anywhere for that matter. Our children were not very loud and were flirting with the guests on the table nearby (who were flirting back). A few minutes into our stay, the waiter comes and asks us to "tune our children down" and to imagine we would be on a romantic dinner - "would you want to be disturbed by children's noise?" he asked. "And just to make it clear, nobody complained, I just want to make sure it stays like that." What should you say to that? Well, we tried our best and did stay calm. Until we (remember, all adults at our table had wine and a full meal) took out the drinking bottle for our daughter when the waiter came again with the words "I don't want to be annoying, but could you please be so kind and remove this drinking bottle from the table?" Sounds like this story is made up? That's what I would think, if I hadn't seen it.
What is really sad about it is that we really liked the food, the prices and the restaurant, but like this, we sure enough won't come again.
