RELAX Bistro und Sportsbar in Bad Schwartau

I can't understand the bad reviews here. We were served extremely quickly and in a friendly manner and enjoyed a delicious sub. Even when the restaurant got busier, all customers were served politely and competently. Truly excellent!

The doner kebab is okay. However, nowadays, thanks to translation apps that can translate everything spoken live, I overheard people gossiping about the customers in Turkish.

When we entered the restaurant on an early Wednesday evening, we were the only guests—and remained so until just before we left at 6:45 p.m. We had a strange feeling about being alone in the large room with its many tables and chairs for such a long time... The service was friendly, and the menus were brought promptly. They were attractively and clearly laid out, offering the usual repertoire of Greek dishes. I opted for a small non-alcoholic beer for €4.10 and the No. 43 chicken breast fillet with fries or rice, tzatziki, and salad, plus Metaxa or cream sauce for €24.50. I asked for all sauces to be omitted, which they did, but the price wasn't reduced. The meat was tender, the fries crispy, and the tzatziki delicious. The salad consisted of iceberg lettuce, onions, a bell pepper, a bit of dressing, an eighth of a slightly dried-out tomato, and an even drier slice of cucumber. ... A complimentary ouzo is included. All in all, I find the price of €24.50 far too high for this dish.

An incredibly rude young woman works at this restaurant. I've never experienced such insolence in any other restaurant. Even though I was a regular customer, I was very rudely told that we could only stay for an hour because only three out of five people had eaten, and that she would then kick us out. My colleague's steaks were burnt, and after complaining to the supposed manager, she was told she had mentioned it too late and had to pay the full price. Despite complaining, my colleague reluctantly paid for the burnt food and said she would never come back. The waitress replied, "It's not a big deal." A Muslim woman was with us, and the rude waitress served her food with the words, "The meat is overcooked because foreigners always complain." What a racist remark! The food tasted awful, and they were clearly trying to get rid of us. We all paid immediately without a tip and were practically laughed at with the ironic words, "Have a nice evening." I warn everyone against eating at this low-quality restaurant and subjecting themselves to this abysmal service. Dear spa guests, avoid this strange restaurant to avoid ruining your evening!!! In short: never again. Unfortunately, zero stars isn't an option.

Very friendly and attentive staff, with whom you can also have a good laugh. The new, flexible, covered outdoor terrace with glass panels on the sides greatly enhances the restaurant's ambiance, creating a vacation feeling even in bad weather. I was very satisfied with the food, but taste is always a matter of personal preference. 🍀 Best regards, H.D. 😉
