The Schwarzwald region is sort of the gourmet capital of Germany. There are more three Michelin…read morestar restaurants in this region than, all the major cities in Germany combined. This restaurant however, is a two Michelin starred place and, we had booked here for dinner tonight, as part of staying at the hotel. Jörg Sackmann is the owner / chef at this restaurant and, it's located in the ground floor of the hotel. The decor is very classic and elegant however, feels like it is stuck in the 70's. It's he type of restaurant that would attract an older crowd. It's small and seats about 25 people, at the most. There is not enough isolation between the various restaurants at this hotel to make it that extra special. You could hear the noises from the other restaurants, from where we were sitting. They have a small 5 course tasting menu, or a 7-8 course tasting menu. They also have a fully vegetarian tasting menu which is very nice. We have eaten in three of the two Michelin restaurants in Germany and this place would rank number 3 on our list. The start of this menu was superb as was the end, however, the middle (main courses) were too sweet for my liking and of course the feeling was mutual also for my dinner guest. The service here is good but missing the finer touches of a restaurant of this caliber. The staff were not great with recommendations and to their credit were extremely helpful when asked. Some nice special touches were our names on the table and our names on the butter dish. I have never experienced that in any top end restaurant to date. I would give the service 4 stars. I was a bit mixed on the flavours and hence the four stars. The intensity of flavours in some of the courses was amazing however, some of them were not so great. When I compare it to other places that have two stars, the wow factor was lacking a bit. The chef was generous but, not as generous as other places, we have been to. The sweet tray at the end looked fabulous but, failed to wow me. The coffee was also ordinary. I would give the food 4 stars. The wine list is extensive and I loved it. They also have an excellent selection of local wine, which is great. We had a fantastic red from the Wûrttemburg area and I absolutely loved it. The Reisling Spätlese for dessert from Mosel region was also fabulous. I would happily give the wine list a 5 stars. This restaurant can be way more than it is right now. I would not give it two Michelin stars but, would more than happily give it one. Maybe even 1.5. Since Michelin have no halves this place has two ;-)) overall experience here for me would be 3.5-4 Yelp stars ;-)) Would I come back here again ? Probably not. It's not edgy enough for me and, given the choice available across the country, I would go back to other places before I came here again. Having said that I enjoyed my meal enough to give it 4 stars.
