"the work is one of the most beautiful buildings in hattingen – as the name already says, an old workshop, beautifully renovated inside, bright and friendly. it is also very central and well visited. the room is in a premium and I find the tables cramped and. this is not the restaurant for an intimate evening meal, because their neighboring diners can 't help but overtake everything they could say. the menu is not particularly extensive (5 of the 9 regular main courses are carving, only with different sauces) and, at all three places we have eaten in this restaurant (the second and third times were on invitation, not by choice), that was a disappointment – on average best, oversalted or tasteless in some cases and always relatiw bad value for money. the menu reads beautiful, but a scavenger is a scavenger and they 'll find better to a fraction of the cost in a pommesbude somewhere else. my biggest grip with this place is the service. Waiting staff are friendly enough, but service is incredibly slow. at our last visit we waited 20 minutes for a menu and another 15 for our order. overall it was good over an hour before we were served and even then some on our table had their order well before others. we had an early reservation (6pm) because we had small (and very hungry) children in our party and the restaurant was 't full, so I can't imagine what took so long. in any case, this was the pattern for all three locations. the work sells itself as one of the finer restaurants in hattingen, but while the atmosphere is beautiful, the substance is simply not there, and it is left to eat by extremely slow service, a boring menu and under average."
