    Our experience was amazing! We had the best server, her name was Sigi. She knows everything about the menu and can answer any questions. The French onion soup is a MUST TRY! for dinner we wanted a bit of everything so we got cheese fondue which comes with cheese, bread and veggies. Then we added beef medallions on the side. Let me tell you, so much food!! Come hungry! Next time we will try the Raclette Matterhorn!

    Excellent Bavarian menu with some more innovative pasta and fish options. Restaurant is cozy with a modern Alpine flair. We dined near the end of the season, but there was no lag in service nor attention. The salmon pasta was light and summery and the schnitzel cooked to perfection, served with classic lingonberry jam.
