"This restaurant is situated in a converted church hospital and the venue is beautiful. The inside seating is in the main hall of the church and the outside seating feels like it 's in a garden. The only drawback to the indoor is that the hall is so resonant that it can be hard to hear others at your table. I attended a reception here with a 3-course set menu. They started us out with cranberry bread and the opportunity to buy a drink. I had their weissbier on tap, Allgäuer Büble Edelweissbier. It was a little sweet but not really fruity (which is what I wanted) and had a nice foamy finish. For the appetizer: avocado with goat cheese in an olive oil-lemon vinaigrette. This was also topped with diced olives and some sort of green shoots that I didn 't recognize. I liked the pairing of the briny olives and goat cheese with the creamy avocado and fresh, herby greens. Main course (vegetarian option): napkin dumplings. I 'd never tried this dish and it was unreal, I loved the texture of the bread dumplings! They were perfect for soaking up the addictive buttery sauce without getting soggy. I didn 't feel like the dish got too heavy since they used the perfect amount of sauce (although it was so good I could have eaten more) and kept things bright with the garnish of scallions and greens. They provided more plain bread when we were finished to soak up the rest of the sauce. Dessert was the Brownie Dessert of chocolate cake/brownie with walnut crumble and raspberry sorbet. The brownie was one of those that just melts in your mouth as you eat it. The sorbet had a really bright and natural flavour. Every course was delicious and the portion size was right in the window where I felt very satisfied but not overstuffed. The service was also seamless. The waiters were some of the friendliest I had while I was in Germany, the wait time between courses was appropriate, there wasn 't a significant delay between the first and last tables to get their food brought to them, and they were diligent about replacing the water at the table when we ran out (unlimited still and sparkling were included in the dinner). If the regular experience is anything like what they did for us, I would definitely recommend them for a nice dinner and unique experience in Mainz!"
