Johannisberg Restaurant in Bad Nauheim

Wir waren nach einer Wanderung am 1. Mai um 17h mit 4 Personen auf der Terrasse des Restaurants und wollten nur ein Getränk. Es waren zahlreiche Tische frei, aber mit einem Reservierung Schild versehen. Wir wurden abgewiesen obwohl wir in 15 Min wieder weg gewesen wären! Ähnliches haben wir dort schon einmal erlebt. Fazit: wir werden dieses Restaurant NIE wieder betreten!

Wir hatten heute ein köstliches leichtes Mittagessen bei bestem Wetter auf der wunderschönen Terrasse! Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und fix. Gerne wieder!

Als Einwohner von Bad Nauheim besuchten wir immer gern das Restaurant Johannisberg.. Auch nach Übergabe an den momentanen Pächter waren wir anfangs noch zufrieden. Doch leider mussten wir wiederholt Erfahrungen machen, die uns von einem weiteren Besuch abhalten. Letzten Samstag bestellten wir zweimal Tagiatelle mit Meerbrassenfilet. Der Fisch hat so penetrant gerochen, was für frischen Fisch nicht üblich ist. Wir konnten ihn nicht essen. Wir sagten es der Bedienung, die es an die Küche weitergeben wollte. Wir aßen die trockenen Nudeln, etwas anderes wurde uns nicht angeboten. Es gab keine Kulanz oder Entschuldigung. Letzten Herbst bestellten wir auf der Terrasse einen Kaiserschmarren, der aus einem in Stücke geschnittenen Stück Kuchenteig bestand. Das Restaurant ist sehr schön, die Aussicht phantastisch, doch leider für uns nach unseren Erlebnissen nicht mehr annehmbar.

Very unfriendly and unqualified staff.

Well, I've experienced a lot in my time, but when I go into a restaurant and the waitress tells me right away. Everything is reserved and there is no table left, even though there were maybe two customers in total. And the service person or waiter simply didn't feel like doing his job and told you really rudely that he didn't even want to check whether anything could be done. Then that's really the bottom of the barrel. They probably don't want any customers there. There were three of us there, we wanted to have a nice meal and drink coffee and the waiter or whatever it was refused to do. That's not possible, that's not how you treat customers, and that gives you a grade of "unsatisfactory" for me and that's why this location is absolutely no longer recommended 🤔😤

Very nice garden restaurant with a great view of Bad Nauheim

Very nice restaurant with a beautiful sun terrace and fantastic view over Bad Nauheim, good food at a fair price..

Last Saturday we - family - drove to the Johannisberg restaurant with the desire to have lunch. Unfortunately, the tables were occupied, so we asked reception if a table would be available soon. A service lady - the older one among the service staff, probably also the boss - informed us in an unfriendly tone that a table would be available in about 20 minutes. I. I asked if I could make a reservation. And then we would wait outside. The lady said no. We were about to leave the restaurant when a couple vacated a table. So we went back to reception and asked if we could have this table. The lady mentioned above said, “Please wait until the table is cleared!”. After so much “welcoming” politeness and willingness to serve, we were happy to leave the restaurant! I can't imagine what kind of service we would have received! Never again!

This was our second time eating there and we will definitely do so again. We enjoyed it and the service was very friendly!

Very tasty, the food! Service is great

NEVER AGAIN! I am shocked at the treatment of guests in this restaurant! > The restaurant was empty at the time of our arrival. We asked for a table and were told everything was reserved. The waiter who arrived then offered us a place for about 2 hours, which was completely sufficient for us. > We ordered drinks and asked for a children's cappuccino. The answer was that “this was not the plan, but he would do one”. > Then the water we ordered came, we had ordered lemon with it. These weren't there, so we took the liberty of asking whether we could still get them, and the answer we got was, unfortunately I can't remember the exact wording, but something like "don't worry, you'll still get them". We were shocked by the statement and the way we were treated. It seemed as if extra requests were too much effort. I was already thinking about whether I should ask anything else at all, but I took the risk of asking where the game came from. I then got the answer from the waiter in charge. He had to ask in the kitchen because he didn't eat game. Of course it wasn't regional. I believe a good waiter should know where the meat comes from. Then the schnitzel I ordered came. This tasted like fish. I complained to a friendly waiter, who told me that the meat and fish were being prepared on a counter and took the food back. Then the “boss” came to the table, very unfriendly and rather reproachful, the schnitzel was freshly made and had no contact with fish, which is what we should do now. I asked for a meal without fish, so she raised her hands and walked away. I told her that I now knew why they had bad service reviews, her response was "that's exactly why" and she left! Very professional! At least the waiter had become friendlier now, we paid and left! There were three very young waitresses on site who laughed at the situation! It's crazy that the store still has guests with this unprofessional management! I have NEVER experienced something like this in a restaurant!

NIE WIEDER! Ich bin schockiert über den Umgang mit Gästen in diesem Restaurant! > Das Restaurant war zum Zeitpunkt unserer Ankunft leer. Wir fragten nach einem Tisch und bekamen mitgeteilt, es wäre alles reserviert. Der hinzugekommene Kellner bot uns dann einen Platz für circa 2 Stunden an, was für uns vollkommen ausreichend war. > Wir bestellten Getränke und fragten nach einem Kinder Cappuccino. Die Antwort lautete, „dies sei so nicht vorgesehen, aber er würde einen machen“. > Dann kam unser bestelltes Wasser, wir hatten Zitrone dazu bestellt. Diese waren nicht dabei, also erlaubten wir uns zu fragen, ob wir diese noch bekämen, als Antwort bekamen wir, ich weiß leider nicht mehr den genauen Wortlaut aber ungefähr so „keine Angst die bekommen Sie noch“. Wir waren schockiert über die Aussage und den Umgang mit uns. Es wirkte überhaupt so, als seien extra Wünsche zu viel Aufwand. Ich machte mir schon Gedanken, ob ich überhaupt noch was zusätzlich fragen sollte, riskierte es aber zu fragen woher das Wild stammt. Daraufhin bekam ich die Antwort von dem zuständigen Kellner. Er müsse in der Küche nachfragen, da er kein Wild esse. Es war natürlich nicht regional. Ich bin der Meinung ein guter Kellner sollte wissen woher das Fleisch stammt. Dann kam mein bestelltes Schnitzel. Dieses schmeckte nach Fisch. Ich reklamierte es bei einem freundlichen Kellner, dieser teilte mir mit das das Fleisch und der Fisch auf einer Ablage zubereitet werden und nahm das Essen zurück. Dann kam die „Chefin“ an den Tisch, sehr unfreundlich eher vorwürflich, das Schnitzel wäre frisch gemacht und hätte kein Kontakt zu Fisch, was wir jetzt machen sollen. Ich wünschte mir ein Essen ohne Fisch, darauf hin nahm sie die Hände nach oben und ging weg. Ich teilte ihr mit, dass ich jetzt wisse warum sie im Bereich Service schlechte Bewertungen haben, ihre Antwort war „genau deshalb“ und sie ging! Sehr professionell! Immerhin war der Kellner jetzt freundlicher geworden, wir bezahlten und gingen! Es waren noch drei sehr Junge Kellnerinnen vor Ort, die die Situation belächelten! Wahnsinn, dass der Laden mit dieser unprofessionellen Führung noch Gäste hat! Sowas habe ich noch NIE in einem Restaurant erlebt!

After a hike in the woods we decided to get a bite to eat and this was closest. Service was nice, attentive and we were able to get a table in the former “Backstube”. Without reservations on Sunday evening the window spots were not available. Food was okay, my wife’s Schnitzel was “Durchwachsen”. She doesn’t like any fat on her meat. So sad. Some Germans like this type of meat, so it’s not a point of criticism, just information. I would not intentionally return.

I noticed this restaurant right away on my first visit to Bad Nauheim. If you look across the avenue towards the city center from the train station, Johannisberg Castle is picturesquely located above the residential area at the top of the mountain. The location is really unique and we also really liked the ambience. Despite our high expectations, we were very satisfied with our visit to the restaurant. The dishes were delicious and the service was courteous. We also expected significantly more in terms of price. I can fully recommend this place.

Johannisberg Restaurant is really great. Second visit and can't wait to return. It offers stunning panoramic views of the entire area. Reachable it with a scenic drive or enjoy a pleasant uphill walk from the town center. The restaurant is beautiful, with a calming atmosphere and rich interior divided into two lovely dining areas. Great setting for anything from coffee and cake to a leisurely lunch. Seasonal menus are fantastic with plenty of options for vegetarians, meat lovers, and fish enthusiasts alike. Daily specials are on the boards. We especially enjoyed their cocktail and cake selection. The service is relaxed, complementing the overall unhurried ambiance of this special place. Their open-air terrace is delightful in good weather. Ample parking is available for those driving. Responding quickly to online reservations. Highly and warmly recommended!

Ein super Ausblick (Wetter war auch sehr gut), schönes Lokal, mit viel Platz. Man sitzt hier nicht wie auf einer Hühnerleiter. Wirklich viel Platz. Nicht modern, aber warm, sehr nett eingerichtet und schön. Das Essen....eine Wucht!! Schöne Speisen. Speisen, die ich schon lange nicht mehr hatte, geschweige denn irgendwo gesehen habe....wie z.B. eine Leberknödelsuppe. Die war wirklich gut. Das Hirschragout, als Hauptgang, geschmacklich super!. Die Soße, echt klasse. genauso wie die Spätzle (bestimmt selbst gemacht). Das Fleisch hätte vielleicht noch ein Ticken mürber sein können, aber wunderbar im Geschmack. Abgerundet wurde alles mit einem Kaiserschmarrn.....dieser hat auch diesen Namen verdient. Total lecker!!!! Alles in allem ein kulinarischer Hochgenuss! Die Bedienung(en), sehr freundlich und teilweise sogar etwas übereifrig. Das hat aber keineswegs gestört, im Gegenteil. Wir haben uns hier sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Es war das erste Mal, wo wir hier gegessen haben, aber mit Sicherheit nicht das letzte Mal! Danke für ein wunderbares Essen. Ein Minuspunkt gibt es aber....., daher auch nur 4 Sterne.... Die Toiletten....nicht wirklich sauber, leider. Vielleicht war es aber nur an diesem Tag so. Wer weiß. Das Essen aber, definitiv ein Besuch wert!!!!

We were there for dinner. Very nice atmosphere and very tasty food. The starter was beef tartare and the main course was rump steak from Black Angus beef, both super tasty and the steak was fried to perfection with first-class meat quality. We'll be back.

In a restaurant, one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. You stand in line to get a seat, then one is assigned and you are about to sit down where someone else comes and says that's not possible, they have to go somewhere else - in the storage room - The restaurant was not fully occupied and there were also seats at the table (for 5 people), of which we only occupied 2. There was also enough staff. Where can you find something like that? The customer was once king, there was no reservation on any table. After all, you don't drive a long distance to explore Bad Nauheim and drink a cup of coffee on the Johannesberg to be annoyed on such a beautiful day... I hereby ask for a public apology from the staff. You don't treat people like that and it's better to take part in a training course. You should avoid this restaurant after a lot of things have happened.

As a photographer couple, we had the pleasure of capturing a wedding on the Johannisberg. This unique location has impressed us time and again, both privately and during our events. The service is first-class, and the food leaves nothing to be desired – simply outstanding! Particularly noteworthy is the breathtaking view over the entire city, which provides the perfect setting for any event. We can 100% recommend this location – both for weddings and other events. An all-around perfect experience!

We were there for our Christmas party in December 2024. Everything was really perfect. Super nice decoration, delicious and beautifully prepared food. The staff was very polite. Price performance was also right. The ambience and the view of Bad Nauheim clearly win here. We will definitely come back and hope that it happens again. Thank you for everything

The Johannisberg mountain restaurant is currently closed for operational reasons until January 23, 2025. Anyone who is not afraid of the steep walk up the Johannisberg will be rewarded with a fantastic view over the Wetterau, the town of Bad Nauheim and the view of the castle and fortress complex of the town of Friedberg.

Nice restaurant above Bad Nauheim with a wonderful view. Birthday invitation. Service presents the food excellently. Thank you .

Nice restaurant with a great view. Service very friendly and nice. The food far exceeded my expectations in terms of quantity and taste. Highly recommended!

Everything was wonderful, very nice location, great service, very good food

One thing in advance: Christmas decorations, ambience, view... Everything was great 👍 BUT.... we came to Christmas dinner at 7 p.m. and didn't even manage to eat the main course in peace. Shortly after 8 p.m. we had the feeling that we were eating in a canteen or cafeteria. Loud, shrill, clattering, uncomfortable. No music, no Christmas spirit. When asked why no music, the answer was: it would disturb too many guests... dishes rattle and kitchen noises probably don't... Too bad!!! Eating up on the Johannesberg costs a lot of money. You not only want culinary highlights, but also a bit of relaxation and balm for the soul and coziness. Not even a digestif was offered. I don't expect free drinks, but some attention - especially at Christmas - would have been nice!!! Merry Christmas 🎄

Wonderful ambience, wonderful view over Bad Nauheim. Very tasty food and teas. Beautifully decorated rooms and table decorations. Nice service. I always enjoy coming here.

Great view, nice ambience, very good service, unfortunately the kitchen couldn't quite keep up: three out of five stars. The game menu wasn't quite our cup of tea: pumpkin soup was very tasty but served too hot, the game meat was overcooked and too tough, the gingerbread dessert was good but contained a bit too much gingerbread spice. Good wine recommendation

Herausragende Lage, da ist nichts Schöneres weit und breit. Angenehme bis edle Einrichtung, bequeme Sitzgelegenheiten. Sehr freundlicher Service. Die Küche reißt die so gelegte Messlatte doch deutlich.

Wonderful view of Bad Nauheim from the large windows and from the terrace and very nice service for delicious food 👍

Great view, delicious food and very friendly staff. Thanks

Absolute top restaurant in Bad Nauheim! Outstanding ambience, excellent service and great food! Whether it's a company party, birthday or wedding, the entire team is there to help and advise, everything is festively decorated and the guests were completely thrilled. Absolutely recommended!

Very friendly staff. The quality and taste of the food more than justify the price.

This beautifully located hotel/restaurant is somewhat hidden away with a great view over Bad Nauheim. Very tasty food at moderate prices. Can only be recommended. Also very nice staff. Gladly again.

We met at this restaurant as a family. We really liked the atmosphere. Fast and quality service, despite the full load. The food is very tasty and beautifully presented.

wonderful restaurant, very good cuisine, friendly and attentive service, idyllic location, wonderful view

Zum 90sten Geburtstag meiner Mutter einen Tisch bestellt. Mama und mein Sohn waren persönlich dort, Reservierung eines Tisches für die Familie wurde notiert. Heute am Geburtstag meiner Mutter noch einmal angerufen um die Uhrzeit noch einmal zu bestätigen... Uns hat alle der Schlag getroffen, als man uns sagte, dass es diese Reservierung überhaupt nicht gab und die Gaststätte an diese Abend voll besetzt ist mit einer anderen, GRÖSSEREN Gruppe/Reservierung... Unverschämt, dreist... Braucht mir keiner zu erzählen, dass es sich hier um ein Versehen handelt...

Nice view over Bad Nauheim with nice food.

Was just there to enjoy the beautiful view.

We ate the game menu today and it was very good, almost too much, but delicious. There was a very pleasant atmosphere. Great.

We celebrated our wedding in the Johannisberg restaurant and were absolutely thrilled! It was a successful day all round and the team and family Traband also contributed. The service and food were excellent starting from the reception, dinner and midnight snack. The spontaneous wishes of our guests were also responded to very well. Ms. Traband supported us in advance with advice and support during the planning phase. We will definitely come back and can only recommend the location and the team!

Very nice view and interior, service is excellent, unfortunately the food is just okay.

Very nice atmosphere with a great view

Very nice restaurant. Super friendly service and very good food. Gladly again.

Very nice restaurant with a view of Bad Nauheim

A beautiful place to go to again and again

Very nice restaurant with a wonderful view over Bad Nauheim. Very nice staff and delicious food.

Great restaurant with a heavenly view over Bad Nauheim and parts of the Wetterau. Upscale cuisine with the appropriate ambience. Highly recommended

A very nice place to relax and enjoy and I can only recommend it

Very tasty food, phenomenal view, nice ambience and friendly staff

Pure idyll. The hotel restaurant is located above the vineyards. View, provided the weather is nice of course, wonderful.

Very nice location of the restaurant with tables at the window front and a great view, unobtrusively friendly staff, food from the menu and daily menu very tasty, higher price level but reasonable, we would like to come back again.

I see a beautiful location with a great view of Bad Nauheim. Nice menu with delicious seasonal dishes. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful location with a wonderful view of Bad Nauheim:) The service was nice, courteous and quick! The food and drinks offered were very 👍 good 👍

Very nice view but unfortunately the taste was just ok and nothing special about this great place.

As someone said; people who like to eat are always the best people. beautiful view & delicious🌨️✨

Very good food. Great view over the Wetterau.

We were here for dinner. The ambience and view are A1. The food was very tasty and the prices were completely okay. The ladies at the service were extremely friendly. We'll be back.

We were there today as a wedding dinner. I had the trout with potato salad. Unfortunately, the potato salad felt like a finished product (yes! Or similar). The trout was ordered filleted but was full of bones. A catastrophe. The fish tasted great. As a chef, I would be ashamed to serve something like that.

The location is great, but... We were asked at 11:25 a.m. if we could sit down... no, we're closed, opening time is 11:30 a.m., politeness doesn't work that way, it's a shame, especially the tone makes it so

Amazing views of Bad Nauheim and even Frankgurt can be seen from up here. The restaurant is very good. Good selection of food, friendly staff and moderate prices. Highly recommended

A wonderful afternoon comes to an end. Celebrated my 90th birthday and it was absolutely wonderful. Service top Kitchen top And the view anyway. We are incredibly happy to have decided to do this

This restaurant impresses with its great location with a view over Bad Nauheim to the Vogelsberg. The menu is varied and the service is attentive and friendly. The prices are ok for what is on offer. We enjoyed it and would love to come back. (A few parasols on the terrace would help to be able to sit outside even in a small shower, but it was nice inside too 😉)

Gladly again greetings from Frankfurt

A super nice place with a view over Bad Nauheim 👍 And very tasty food 😋

Beautiful view over Bad Nauheim. We sat on the terrace, food was delicious, service was friendly. It was already very busy at 12:30 p.m. Definitely worth a visit, we would be happy to come back and wish the new tenant much success. Even yesterday (2 years after the last recession) I can only say we were extremely satisfied, great food, great view, nice hosts...what more could you want. Please keep it up, we'll be happy to come back.

Super leckeres Essen in einem wunderschönen Ambiente mit tollem Blick über Bad Nauheim. Es hat einfach alles gepasst, was will man mehr. Wir kommen gerne wieder, bitte weiter so.

Great view from the terrace over the entire Wetterau. Delicious homemade lemonade. Hessen Caipi also very tasty.

The food was, as always, very tasty. The prices are rather high, but given the quality and the location, it's completely okay. The service was friendly. However, we were still missing a request from time to time as to whether something else was needed. So unfortunately we left without dessert and coffee because time was running out. Due to an intensive conversation, we actually forgot to draw anyone's attention to us.

I've been there five times now and each time there was a closed party. It's probably more of an event location. And that’s how it should be described on Google.

A beautiful place with a beautiful view over Bad Nauheim and the Wetterau! The restaurant is open on Monday and Unfortunately closed on Tuesday.

Good service, fabulous food, pleasant prices and nice ambience

Waren ohne Reservierung da. Personal hat uns sehr freundlich einen Tisch angewiesen. Essen war vorzüglich und recht schnell serviert, obwohl noch gleichzeitig eine Hochzeit stattfand. Hatten einen schönen Abend.

We have on June 15th. celebrated our wedding in the Johannisberg restaurant. We and our guests were absolutely thrilled. The service was courteous. The food was on point and the location was fantastic. Ms. Traband supported us greatly in all matters thanks to her experience. Many thanks to the entire team for this unique day.

Delicious strawberry tart with coffee... We dared to climb the mountain and didn't regret it. Service is quick and attentive. Would love to come back.

Impressive view in the garden and Bad Nauheim at your feet. Good range of coffee and cake. Despite a very good visit, friendly staff.

Ich hatte gestern Abend mit Freunden mein Geburtstagsessen auf dem Johannisberg. Wir hatten Glück mit dem Wetter und saßen draussen. Wunderschönes Panorama, super-nette und sehr aufmerksame Bedienungen und sehr gutes Essen. Was will man mehr? So kann das neue Lebensjahr gerne weiter gehen!

Went for a group celebration lunch. Food was excellent. Lovely views over Bad Nauheim and beyond

The most disappointing evening in a long time. We have been fans of the beautiful location of the charming house on top of the mountain for ages. We've also been inside for coffee and cake and were really looking forward to an evening with friends on the terrace with the great view. Conclusion: catastrophe from A-Z. Starting with the unfriendly service - with one exception in the evening - the uncomfortable chairs on the sloping terrace and the lukewarm, carelessly served food after more than an hour of waiting, even though there was only a manageable amount of activity. Finally, the green sauce was poured over my sunglasses and arm and I rushed off without a word of apology - completely styleless. I was really sad - such a beautiful location and then an atmosphere like in the excursion restaurant on the corner. That's really a pity.

Ein einmalig schöner Ausblick auf Bad Nauheim,Friedberg und leicht dunstig auf den Vogelsberg.Gut besucht,auch um die Mittagszeit bei leicht erhöhten Preis.Vorzüglicher Service,saubere Toiletten.Empfehlenswert.

Bringing back memories of a long-ago rehab. There was often delicious cake and coffee here. And the beautiful thing had developed into something positive.

Great place with delicious food with an amazing view over the Wetterau to the Spessart. Service was super nice and professional. Prices for the ambience and offerings are okay for 2024.

The food was really very tasty. The service could have been a little more attentive, it sometimes took a really long time. The view from up there is wonderful.

Great place. Didn't eat or drink there. Great view.

A very nice restaurant with rooms to stay overnight, we were invited there on a honeymoon, the service and the food were first rate and highly recommended

We have already been to the Johannisberg restaurant for lunch, coffee klatch and dinner. Everything always worked out great. The various dishes we ordered tasted very tasty. There are enough parking spaces. In the evening it is advisable to reserve a table. The service staff is very attentive and friendly. I have one small point of criticism: the outdoor chairs on the terraces could be equipped with chair cushions.

We had delicious Kaiserschmarrn and coffee, But unfortunately all tables were reserved Who were still free an hour later. We asked if we could sit down but were told they were reserved. Maybe you should rethink your company policy a bit. And train your staff better. A pity.

A beautiful view over the region. The food was great, the ambience is a matter of taste. A bit too old-fashioned and very loud for us

When the weather is great you have a wide view (Frankfurt skyline). The Johannesberg was my rehabilitation goal and I managed it 💪🏻☺️☺️ As a reward there was delicious food, homemade lemonade (highly recommended) and ice cream (also homemade). The waitress was very nice, attentive and open to a joke. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the rooms. We'll definitely be back 😉

Fantastic view of Bad Nauheim. Cake not recommended.

Today, June 1st, 24, we walked to this great restaurant based on a recommendation Of course not without informing us about the opening status via Google (According to Google entry open until 11 p.m.) We were there at 7 p.m. and discovered that a closed party was celebrating there There is no sign of this on the doors either When we asked if we could eat or drink something here we were told “that it is not possible today” Frustrated, we started the somewhat arduous journey back to town Even though we were able to enjoy a great view, we were very disappointed by their inflexibility

Unfortunately there is no indication that the event is closed. No service even though there are free tables. A pity ! Great location but inflexible service.

Very beautiful view. Nice service.

Nice service and a good view, but the taste was only ok and an absolutely bottomless price-performance ratio, 27.50 for a mini steak and a handful of fried potatoes. I will never do it again. Good service and a nice view, but the food is just ok and the bang you get for your buck is not worth it at all, 27.50 for a small steak and just a handfull of potatoes. Im never doing this again.

No overnight stay... Went to the restaurant for a café drink. The view and location is wonderful. The restaurant is very cozy, large rooms and generously furnished. The service was ok, but could have smiled more and been a bit friendlier. There was a children's menu for children to color in, which we got ourselves because no waitress offered it to us.

The location is great and the view on a good day can be amazing. But all this is totally ruined by the awful service and the extremely rude behaviour of the staff. Why bother asking your staff to smile and be nice to customers when you already have an influx of customers, right? I don’t recommend this place under the current ownership. Maybe a change of staff and slight care of customer service would make the place worth visit again. Until then It’s worth just walking past.

Wir waren als Familie in Bad Nauheim unterwegs und wollten nach einer kleinen Wanderung im Cafe/Restaurant Johannisberg einkehren, um in Ruhe bei einem Wasser und einer Tasse Kaffee die Aussicht zu genießen. Vor Ort mussten wir dann feststellen, dass die Terrasse anscheinend nicht zum Bewirtungsbereich gehörte. Also fragte ich im Innenbereich nach Getränken, um diese dann mit auf die Terrasse zu nehmen. Die Dame hinter der Theke erklärte mir, dass Getränke nur innerhalb des Restaurants ausgegeben werden. Auf meine Einlassung, dass wir uns dann ins Restaurant setzen würden, erwiderte sie, dass es keine freien Plätze gäbe, da alles reserviert sei. Es war 11:30 Uhr, das Restaurant hatte gerade aufgemacht und außer mir befand sich kein weiterer Gast im Raum. Daraufhin fragte ich, ob ich dann eine Flasche Wasser kaufen könne. Dies lehnte die Dame wieder mit dem Hinweis ab, dass kein Außer-Haus-Verkauf möglich sei. Auf meinen Vorschlag, dann wenigstens ein Glas Leitungswasser zu bekommen, fragte die Dame, aus welchen Gläsern wir denn trinken würden. Schließlich ließ sie sich dann doch dazu herab, mir eine Flasche Wasser zu verkaufen. Die an sich schon sehr unangenehme Situation wurde durch das sehr schnippische Auftreten der Dame und mehrere unangemessene Kommentare noch verschärft. Ich kann verstehen, dass es für die Service-Kräfte aufgrund von Vorgaben manchmal schwierig ist, auf die Wünsche von Gästen einzugehen. Aber sich nicht in der Lage zu fühlen, ein paar Getränke in einem komplett leeren Restaurant/Cafe zu servieren und das unangemessene Auftreten gegenüber Gästen, ist alles andere als professionell. Und leider kann da die phantastische Aussicht von der Terrasse über das schöne Bad Nauheim nur bedingt entschädigen.

The shrimp salad and the view are amazing. The service and the ambience are also great, wine glasses were generously filled over calibration marks, but perhaps only because we also drank an aperitif. Creme brulee with pineapple parfait. There are also delicious things and books. The insider tip is Sunday evenings, when there isn't much going on, but they finish work at 9 p.m.! There are also rooms for 128 a night, even almost in the forest.

Despite many guests and without a reservation, we got a terrace table for 5 people after less than 3 minutes. Very friendly and courteous specialist staff. The apple pie and homemade lemonade were absolutely delicious. When the weather is nice, a fabulous view. Everything was very clean, we would love to come back.
