"We visited with family to celebrate my mother in law's 60th birthday. Firstly the positives (as the service, whilst bad, didn't ruin the evening!). The food was lovely - beautifully cooked Bodensee fish with homemade pasta and other yummy sides. The fish soup was particularly noteworthy. The view is also fantastic - sun setting over the hills - amazing light. And on a sunny day nice to be on the terrace, which is right on the lake :) the wines are all made locally (winzer being a wine-maker) and were also fantastic. The negatives (which brought my review from 5 to 3 blobs). We had specifically reserved a table for 7 people plus baby at 6pm. Unfortunately the table was just for 7 people so there was no space for the high chair and we were very squashed in and constantly in the way of people coming past - no apology and we were made to feel at fault particularly by the restaurant manager. The owner of the place happened to be sitting next to us and was friendly and helpfully moved our pushchair to the hotel reception when people came past. Unfortunately when it came time for baby (and me) to go home at 20.30 (!) the manager chastised us for being noisy as we might wake the older guests (I wish people were this vigilant about waking up babies in hotels....). I realise it's not always easy for restaurants when babies are there - they're noisy, messy and don't bring revenue - but if you don't want them there then this should be made clear when the booking is made, not when we arrive. In addition to the baby related issues, the service was painfully slow - the main courses took a loooong time to arrive and I had to point out to the waiter that one of the starters was missing. No one came to take drinks orders and we had to actively seek someone out to order more wine. Finally the restaurant was extremely hot - it was a chilly day (autumn already in august!), so I dread to think what it's like in the heat of summer. As I said at the start - go for the food and drink, but don't expect good or friendly service ;)"
