"Restauranteur overcharged for almost every item, see photos Two of us visited this Italian restaurant. Quality of food was mixed. The problem was owner/waiter overcharged for almost every item. Paying: I went in to the counter alone without my German friend. Obvious target being that I am a foreigner? Waiter/owner provided me a single, round number to pay, no itemized receipt. Number seemed in error: a round number and much too high. I therefore asked for the itemized receipt. He went to his machine and punched in data for a good five minutes. I wondered what the hell he was doing for so long. At the same time, I was confirming in my head that something was amiss. When the waiter/owner returned, not a single price matched the price on the menu, the cost of each item substantially inflated by about 20%! I asked for the physical menu with prices, and identified all of the errors, item by item. Under my watchful eye, he then—unapologetically—corrected every charge by hand to conform to the printed menu price, reducing the final bill by about 20%. Some discrepancies remained but I let them slide. All were in error favoring the restauranteur. I knew at this point that there would be no tip I normally am a heavy tipper restaurant employees are generally hard workers and deserve it, even if they are sometimes abrasive). Ironically, my tip would’ve been about 20%. No apology was forthcoming. I told restauranteur with a friendly demeanor that it would be correct if he apologized. He then, with reluctance, dutifully did so, pro forma. Quite an unpleasant experience. Beware: Foreigners can do addition! Beware! if you visit this restaurant! See attached photos. If interested in further examination, menu is on their website with prices as of today. Photos, attached, are 1. original bill with restauranteur's corrections, in pen. 2. Owner’s rewritten bill by hand. Note: restauranteur/waiter/owner are all the same person. A couple of other comments. 1. I ordered a Pils only option on menu: .3l for €3). He brought me an unordered large .5l) but charged me €6 then reduced it to €5.40 during the correction phase. 2. We each ordered a double espresso. No double espresso on the menu, but charged for four single espresso's, which is ridiculous. No restaurant does that. €10 for two double espresso‘s?! Note: although I am a foreigner, I speak OK German and it was no problem for me to address this situation, but not pleasant. My German friend was outraged. I dislike writing negative reviews, especially for a restaurant starting out with a new owner, but this was beyond the pale and I think it necessary that people be forewarned."

"the German house is exactly the landgasthof that I have long been looking for for my moving to idstein. beautifully located, even with the bike well to reach, very nice service, the pleasant atmosphere, a well maintained beer, the suitable beer garden. not least of course the menu and the quality of the food. the selection is bourgeois-founded, of high quality. there is the frankfurter carving with greener sauce as tasty filled pljeskavica, just to illustrate the variety and versatility of the menu."

"We have had our wedding dinner here and it was extremely good food, good wine and a delicuous ice cake at the end. The service was funny and very kind and tried to answer to our wishes. I would definitely recommend to eat or rather dine here. To the team: Thank you very much for your efforts!"

"Really recommended! It is always worth an excursion on foot or by bike to the natural friendly house. More rarely by car, but of course it is possible. In the middle of nature you will receive a beautiful ambience, friendly service and really good food. In summer, the small and lovingly furnished beer garden invites you to stay. You feel comfortable here!"

"it is a bit more to satisfy guests!Leider behaves the wetin little customer-oriented and is rather unfriendly and inflexible. as - there is only one size salat if a large salat is desired and a dessert order from the normal card by 21.00 clock is not possible because for the cook unreasonable, or only possible if 5 portions are ordered simultaneously, keep me in the future definitiw from further visit. especially since this has been done in a similar way or in a similar way and not the first time. added the steaks, which are prepared on some Saturdays on the grill are very good, but they are also placed on others where you can feel as a hospitable and welcome."
