Kulisse Inh. Meier Kathrin

Reviewed By stubenhocker13 - Germany

Die Kulisse ist eine Szene Bier Kneipe. Das Speiseangebot ist qualitativ und quantitativ limitiert.
Wir fühlten von Service Personal immer irgenwie übersehen. Oder sind die immer und zu jedem so? Oder sind wir mit 50+ und Ü 60 nicht die richtige Zielgruppe? Egal, man kann mal auf einen Absacker hin gehen, aber richtig wohl gefühlt haben wir uns nie! Es ist nichts richtig schlecht, aber auch nicht gut!

Restaurant Pharao

Reviewed By LatinDance J - Jena, Germany

Toller Service, man kann sich individuell alles zusammenstellen lassen, nicht nur von der Karte, sondern auch "Probierplatten" (von jedem etwas).
Tolle orientalische Gewürze - natürlich frisch! und es gibt auch Bachtanz/Orientalischer Tanz von sehr guten Tänzerinnen und Tänzern!

Da Angelo

Reviewed By mjnsr - Egham, United Kingdom

The restaurant is placed inside a former top hat factory (actually, true) opposite the banks of a lake near the bridge leading to the island zoo. However, the interiors reflect a slightly dated Italian restaurant. The service was outstandingly friendly and very attentive. After we placed our order, we were served a complimentary aperitif style drink and a complimentary small dish (in our case a vegetable and egg terrine). My starter was a tomato soup. It was well prepared and tasty though providing an extra portion of whipped cream captured in a fried pasta grid in the bowl appeared slightly dated. The mains were generously in portion size. I had a classic saltimbocca nicely seasoned and tender. Even though the ham would have been nice and crispy it was drowned in sauce. The salmon was battered and deep fried but it was tasty as everything else on the table. In sum, it felt like a timewarp into the past with genuine silver cutlery, proper dishes and the respective service. The interiors showed that this was on its way down. Even though the menu appeared somewhat dated and exhibited a tendency to deep frying, the food was nice and tasty in the end.

We stayed in Altenburg for four nights and spent two of them having dinner at this restaurant. The food was delicious, very reasonable prices and such wonderful hospitality by the owner. We could not wait to return and again was not disappointed. Good choice of food and such a lovely ambience!!!!! Would not hesitate to recommend it

Restaurant Athos

Reviewed By bayern1992 - Bayern

Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut beim Athos. Wobei mir der Beilagensalat zu Standard war. Bei einem Griechen erwarte ich wenigstens eine Olive im Salat. Der Teller mit den Beilagen war groß, die Beilagen aber klein, dafür die eigentliche Hauptspeise sehr groß, gut und heiß!
Davor gab es einen Ouzo, danach auch einen "Schnaps" lecker! Aber der Service war langsam, wir mussten auf die Rechnung fast 10 Minuten warten

Brunello das Mediterrane Restaurant

Reviewed By Hoern - München

Wir waren zu einer Hochzeit dort eingeladen. Draußen wurde liebevoll eingedeckt und die Belegschaft hat freundlich nachgeschenkt. Das Abendessen bestand aus drei Gängen. Salat und Fleisch waren toll angereichert, das Fleisch ganz zart (Rindfleischfilet). Zur Nachspeise gab es ein Buffet mit u.a. Creme Brulée und Crêpe Susette - alles lecker. Auch hier war die Bedienung bis spät eifrig am nachschenken und aufmerksam. Die Location an sich ist sehr schön gestaltet und hergerichtet. Abends kann man lange Musik spielen, da ringsum keine Nachbarn sind. Für eine Hochzeitsfeier zu empfehlen.

Ratskeller Altenburg

Reviewed By UteKMercado - Fort Worth, Texas

At 10 AM we tried making online Reservations for five people. At 2 PM we called and the online reservation had not been registered. We made them by phone. When we arrived, they tried to seat us on a table without table cloth, with paper napkins, and wooden chairs. When we announced that we are visiting from the US and would like to sit on the comfortable leather chairs, we were told that those were not available although all of the chairs were empty. Supposedly they were reserved. The waiter argued with us and insisted on Seating is in an uncomfortable corner. We left and dined at the Restaurant Roßplan instead.

Had pizza for lunch, was ok, lots of choices on the menu, but not spectacular. Seemed a bit pricey but friendly service.
