Kochschmiede Zipper in Gelsenkirchen

After waiting 5 minutes, we were told in one of the most unfriendly ways that we should buy food on the second floor.

Inhumane service! The two of us decided to go out for dinner one evening. The restaurant was generally quiet. We waited at the counter to be assigned a seat, but no one seemed interested in us. Three employees behind the counter simply stared at us. We took the initiative and approached the counter, only to receive a rude response: "We're supposed to wait at the front." Afterward, someone finally felt attracted to us and assigned us a small table in the passage. When we asked to use one of the many free four-person tables, the argument was that it might be a placeholder for larger groups. Understandable – but not when only six tables were occupied at 9 p.m. There was obviously no rush. Well, we sat down at the small table and waited over 10 minutes! Until a lady even agreed to bring us a menu. By this time, I was already so irritated by this lack of service that I told the waitress that we'd probably find another restaurant. She promptly took our menus away and said, "Well, if you open your mouth too wide, you'll have to wait extra long for service." She then turned around and disappeared. I didn't let this rudeness go unchallenged and tried to engage in dialogue. But even this approach only resulted in further arrogant behavior. I asked for the manager, who subsequently took care of the matter, but only until I announced that we wouldn't be leaving any money here today. From then on, his friendliness was gone. Conclusion: We ended up in another restaurant on this large premises, which was packed to the brim. Here, we were looked after attentively and professionally. So why this place was empty at that time seems to be self-explanatory. I won't be going there again, at least not in Gelsenkirchen.

Good selection of food, pleasant upscale atmosphere and nice staff. Absolutely recommended!

Very good and tastes fantastic. But the veal meat is delicious

90s cafeteria grub. Absolutely out of date. No vegetables and nothing healthy. Just rubbish and expensive too.
