My wife and I were staying in the chalets across the road and decided to pop in to try some schnapps. The location is beautiful with well maintained grounds boasting numerous sculptures. Beyond this good first impression however, we found the experience a little underwhelming.
We did not have a booking so understood before going that we may not be able to get a seat, and upon arrival we were told that they could fit us in but we would have a short wait which was fine. As we were being told this a larger group of around 12 finished up and we were then told we could be seated as soon as they cleared the tables.
However, in the the time it took to clear the tables 4 groups of around 3-5 people came in behind us. We then stood there watching as these groups were all seated right in front of us. We were then left standing next to an empty table and asked if we could be seated here, only to be told that a table outside will be ready in a few minutes. My assumption was that the table outside was to seat two and they were keeping the four seat table for a larger group. We waited another 10 minutes or so and were then lead to a four seat table outside.
Being made to wait next to a vacant table watching people who came in behind us be seated only then to be put outside in the cold didn’t exactly make us feel welcome.
Once seated we tried a couple of flights of schnapps. Most of them we found to be a bit average with the exception of the devil’s tongue, which was outstanding and I would highly recommend to any chilli lovers.
