Inspite of bad service we had a very good meal. The kids ate the potato pancakes with apple sauce and loved it. The schnitzel and potatoes were very well prepared as was the mixed meat plate. The special meat was flat our bad. I tried it based on another yelp review but it was very chewy and lacked flavor.

The dining options are picture perfect..in the garden out front or in the 500 year old building accompanied by the owner's cats.

Delicious and wholesome!…read more I ordered my choices based on a previous Yelper's recommendations: the house apertif (white wine with peach liqueur) and schnitzel. Both were delicious, the schnitzel was served with a salad, and I was stuffed by the end of the meal. This place is famous for being old, and we loved the history behind it!

The roast beef itself was cooked perfectly and tasted high quality. We also did a wine tasting - which were great and had hefty pours. Overall one of our favorite places we visited.
