After waiting forty minutes for my meal in what was basically a hot and stuffy room, my opinion of…read morethis place dropped tremendously. However I don't want to write it off too much because, surprisingly, as soon as I queried the waiter as to where our food was it suddenly, magically, appeared before is (which makes me wonder what was keeping them bringing it to us). Well, the carrot soup was actually quite nice, and my brother ended up having a rather interesting dish (not that I could remember what it was). However, I guess a part of me also didn't think all that much of Essen. However, what was really cool about this place was that in the bathrooms the soap is wrapped around a metal rod, so there is no need to mess around with squeeze tubes - you just wet your hands, soap them up, and then wash them off. As for the towels, they were actually small cotton towls that you tossed into a box once you are finished with them.

We have been to this restaurant a few times (always happy with our orders) but in principle we come…read morefor the barbecue place. You sit under umbrellas or pavilions and enjoy the view onto the lake. The atmosphere is relaxed. Children play and nobody minds. The service is nice and quick. Of course, there is a different (and shorter) menu to choose from then in the restaurant. The emphasis lies on anything grilled. We have had the spare ribs (great), yesterday we tried the cheeseburger and did not regret it: in comparison with burgers from those well known fast food chains this here is definitely the better choice. The meat was well done but nevertheless juicy, tomato and lettuce were fresh and crisp.The size of the burger and the portion of French Fries and the salad were more than decent and above average. As dessert we had (homemade!) ice cream, very recommendable. In addition to the standard menus the restaurant recurrently offers special theme days or weeks. Recently there was Thai on the menu that we missed unfortunately. But supposedly the Thai theme will return sometime in the future. We will definitely come this time. Of course the barbecue area is something for summer exclusively. But by chance we learnt that the place will be remodeled to stay open all year long. Good idea, then we will come even with nasty weather outside.
