Food was great and the service was on par with typical busy German restaurants. Only thing difficult was the menu in German ( I know!

Ate here one evening in 2019, so we had to stop again when we were near Koblenz on our most recent…read moretrip. It was worth deviating from our trip just to get some lunch here. The restaurant is right near the bahnhof and if you can't find street parking there is a nearby garage. The food, service and ambiance were just as we remembered. We were greeted and welcomed by a hostess, server and even the owner. You can tell there are a lot of regular local customers. We had lunch specials that included tomato soup. The schnitzel was thin, light and perfectly prepared and so were the fries. Some of the best I've ever found. Worth a stop anytime we're near Koblenz.

Fortunately I did visit a grunge bar, but this second one was, well, rather boring. Okay, maybe it was supposed to be a restaurant as opposed to a bar, but I didn't want to leave the city without having another beer, and I was quickly running out of options as I got closer to the bridge that would take us back to the car. Well, if I have waiting I would have found a cool looking Irish pub, but I ended up coming here, and I have to admit that I really wasn't all that great. Maybe it is a good restaurant, but as a bar it is basically, well, nothing all that much.

By the time we left it was packed and people were waiting for tables. I had the schnitzel and it was incredible! My wife had a steak and we shared the charcuterie board.

Will NOT return: too sweet!…read more Old, since 1689. Irish - many towns in the Middle Rhine valley have their Celtic origins (right?) German - the lady is very forceful and direct ... Fake flowers are everywhere - such a turn off. They're fully books but took us in at 4:55. I told her that we'd out by 6pm. The house did fill by the time we left at 5:55. One short man by the door won't budge to let us out, nor his friend behind him. Ow will - don't like Asians? The beer and wine are great but both entrees are large portion line feeding a platoon and sweet - what the hell. The sweetness is NOT from the bell pepper or paprika. My salad dressing is like syrup. The dry Riesling from Boppard is very yummy.

Well-prepared, well presented, up-scale food. A good wine list. Attentive service. And a charming host (one of the owners) who works the room, interacts with customers, but also delivers food and cleans tables when necessary (as a good owner does). Nice furnishings and tasteful decor. Elegant, but not over-the-top or stuffy. Note: The daily specials are the best value. Highly Recommended!

Through the magic of Yelp we found Weinstube Metzinger after a visit to the Ehrenbreitstein…read moreFortress nearby. Touted as a "wine bar" on Yelp we approached the restaurant with visions of young and hip Koblenzers sipping on the latest Rhein-area vintages. What we saw instead was a demographic that was nearing or beyond the age of hip replacements gathered in large boisterous groups, digging into their schnitzels. Granted, we had gone in at the early-bird-special hour, but Weinstube Metzinger was decorated in a way that would appeal to the traditional German grandparent set, complete with plastic pumpkins on the table and homey wooden chairs and tables and brown/orange glazed tiles. None of that pulsating techno music you'd hear at your typical trendy wine bar. If Winestube Metzinger were to have a soundtrack, it would be a happy song played on the accordion accompanied by the sound of tinkling wine glasses and choruses of, "Ja, ist gut!". At about EUR3 for a glass of wine, we could afford to have more than one, and most patrons of the restaurant looked like they have. The restaurant is run by the Metzingers, whose family seal is shown on the front page of their menu. A short "welcome letter" on the first page of the menu tells of the family's commitment to and pride in their restaurant. The menu was in German, and the server apologized for his poor English, while we apologized for our poor German. (The server, probably the son, even apologized for asking if we wanted bread.) Not knowing what to expect, we ordered a small portion of schnitzel in mushroom sauce and two glasses of Riesling, which we were told was the driest whites they had. My halb trocknen (half-dry) Riesling was great while the trocknen was a little too dry for our taste. The HALF portion of schnitzel because two good portions, even after it was divided expertly onto two plates for us. Having had the same dish at Movenpick in Munster several days earlier we couldn't tell the difference in the mushroom sauce, though the schnitzel was prepared differently. The half portion of schnitzel - only EUR7. As the restaurant is small and the kitchen family run with one server working all the tables, some may find the service a little longer than usual. But Weintraube Metzinger is a throwback to the days when a friendly neighborhood restaurant was a home away from home, where the restaurant proprietor welcomed you, like family, and knew your kids names and what they were up to. By the time we left at about 7:30pm the place had filled up with several large groups who all seemed to know our server/owner personally. Not a typical stop for the average American tourist, but a great way to experience Germany and German hospitality if you are in the area.
