I enjoyed the harvest theme decor of the interior, although I thought it was a little dark. We had our own room within this medium-sized restaurant. There is one key design issue here in that the men's restroom door opens directly into on of the dining areas. I got yelled at by a patron because I apparently didn't close the door quickly enough. I really enjoyed my meal and with Jesse T. making the beer recommendations, how could I go wrong? Service was very good, especially for a group of our size. English really wasn't spoken here, but we had plenty of German speakers to see us through.

I had a liter of Doppelbock on the trolley, so I was glad to find that they had plain old Bock Beer in liter mugs. I got that and half a duck. I remembered it was a huge portion, but it was delicious. Restaurant is a little dark, and there were dried hop bines above, so I thought that was pretty neat.

On a free night, a bunch of us decided to take a nice walk to the somewhat nearby Kreta Taverna. One upfront warning: This is a cash only place. That turned out to a bit of surprise when the bill came. Luckily, we all scratched together enough cash to pay the bill. At the same time, there are parts of the world (like Eastern Germany and the Czech Republic) where it pays to have some cash handy just in case. Also, this isn't Iceland where pretty much every local speaks English. I'm used to rolling with it and usually being polite, smiling, and pointing goes a long way. Having a German speaker around helps too. The service was super friendly, albeit a bit slow between the kitchen and the food coming out. The woman running the place was probably a family member and a force of nature. If things need to be fixed, she was the guy and was really fun to watch. The food was very good, as was the atmosphere. That allowed for a nice relaxing evening among work friends and a chance to know each other a little better.

They had Kostritzer and a Pilsner, as far as I can remember, since we ate here once while in Merseburg on business in September 2015. A variety of Greek and German fare that I only remember being delicious. The woman running the place was very friendly and I was able to help translate. If you are American, or an English speaker, please bring someone who speaks German. Also understand that they want you to enjoy your time and meal in Germany, so it might take a little longer for you to get your check.

Quite the fun and delicious place. Rustic. Heavy bohemian influences…read more Large and small beers. Variations of Budweiser you won't get in the states. Really funky stuff.
