    Beautiful location and beautifully decorated with lights. Located on the Rhine with a perfect view of the Dom. We ordered the chicken, beef filet, truffle pasta, and bruschetta. Skip the bruschetta but everything else was uncharacteristically tasty for a restaurant in Germany. A wonderful sear on both the steak and chicken with roasted vegetables. Service was friendly and prompt. Restaurant was cozy and intimate. Perfect for a romantic evening, especially after dark.

    you come at peak time Saturday evening 7 pm you get the full experience of a packed pub like restaurant with the noise level like I wouldn't normally tolerate in a restaurant where food is served. However, we were told that this is the way here and all other seats had been reserved, so we stayed and tried to cope. The table was at a very busy spot right next to the point where the staff had to get in and out, so not really very comfy. Having said that, I am still happy we stayed because the staff was super friendly and attentive with a local attitude that really turned things around. And: the food was amazing!!! I had the classic "Sauerbraten" and it was so good! Overall: Would I go back there? Yes, but not when its so busy. After 8 things already got a little bit relaxed, so if you have the choice go earlier or later than 7 pm. The place is fairly small but has an upper level too. You might be lucky and get a nice spot there.
