Beautifully located, the tables are invitingly set. The Bachmaier couple's warm welcome makes you feel welcome. There's a set menu with the option to skip courses. The food was wonderful and varied. Mrs. Bachmaier gave us excellent advice on the wine selection. The wine list included some interesting wines, not just from Württemberg. We had a wonderful evening and would love to return. Thank you very much, dear Bachmaier family 💝.
The menu changes regularly. Another reason to return 👍.
We don't normally write reviews – but our visit to the Eisvogel restaurant on December 16, 2022, still bothers us so much that we now want to share it publicly.
The restaurant's ambiance was undoubtedly unique, and the food was consistently of a very high standard – both in terms of taste and craftsmanship. Unfortunately, the service couldn't keep pace, which overshadowed the entire evening.
Despite a previously clearly communicated fish and seafood allergy, we were served caviar as our first course. We were very surprised that something like this could even happen in a two-star restaurant – especially at the beginning of the evening, when guests should really feel well looked after. We immediately pointed it out, and there was a reaction, but not to the extent we would have expected for such a sensitive topic.
Shortly afterwards, a small fly appeared in one of our aperitifs. Again, not a word of apology. The glass was taken away without comment and returned with almost the same level of water – even though we had already taken several sips from it.
The cheese course took an unusually long time to arrive – we estimate it took about 60 to 90 minutes. While we understand the concept of the waiter presenting the cheese selection at each table and answering questions, the evening dragged on considerably.
During this wait, we wanted to eat some more of the bread with butter and salt, which we had really enjoyed. When a server came to clear it away, we politely asked if the bread basket could be left. Two minutes later, she came back and said, "Unfortunately, that's not possible" – and took the basket with her. In a restaurant of this price range, we would have expected at least simple guest requests to be accommodated.
Conclusion:
The food was excellent and the ambiance impressive. But that's not enough for a restaurant of this category and price range. The service was inattentive at times, inflexible, and seemed insufficiently coordinated. Unfortunately, we will remember this evening not for its culinary quality, but for a series of small but crucial disappointments that left a lasting mark on the experience.
I really liked this place. It had amazing food and so many different options from steaks to pasta that I couldn’t choose. I got the hotdog and it was really delicious. I will definitely come back again.
We visited June for the first time yesterday, and we were all thrilled. We ordered the entire menu, and each of us had a different favorite. But everyone enjoyed everything. We'd gladly come back from Leipzig for the great service and the lovely shop ❤️
Ungewöhnliche Qualität zu einem guten Preis; eher zu preiswert. Sehr ungewöhnliche Karte und tolle Zusammensetzung je Gericht. Auch für Veggies geeignet. Sehr ruhige Atmosphäre und die saubersten sowie angenehmsten WC‘s der letzten Monate.
We booked the catering for our wedding from Karen Bauer. The collaboration, the service, and the food itself were all incredibly good. Our guests raved about it for days afterward. The food was perfectly cooked and stayed hot the entire evening. The menu selection is wonderful, with something for everyone. Karen was always open to ideas and requests.
We are very satisfied and would get married again just for the food. 😊We can only recommend it!
Stumbled upon this place thanks to google maps and the multiple positive reviews. The most pleasant meal I have had from beginning to end in a long time! The food was perfectly cooked, thoughtfully prepared and wonderfully presented. Our waiter, Christian, was wonderful, funny and an absolute delight. His knowledge and passion for the food, wine and beer showed through at every course. The rotating menu is printed in German and English (and staff is fluent) so don’t hesitate if your German is lacking, they will still do their best to make you feel like a local.
We had a lovely evening and will return, but for a restaurant in this quality and price range, there were a few weaknesses this evening. We opted for a three-course à la carte menu. We enjoyed the amuse-bouche. It was varied and delicious. The starters were good in terms of ingredients, but the sauce on one of the starters was so intense that it almost completely overpowered the fish flavor of the sashimi. With the fish main course, which was generally well prepared, we could see that it had been sitting under the heat lamps for a long time, probably because the other dish wasn't ready yet? As a result, it wasn't warm enough when served. The other dishes were really good.
Overall, certainly not a disaster, but given the quality and a bill of €300 for two people, I don't think it deserves five stars.
We thought the wine selection was good. Rather on the cheaper end compared to the food.
Service was friendly and good.
We had three pizzas delivered to our hotel.
The pizzas were delivered very quickly, the lady was very friendly, and most importantly, they were super hot and crispy, just as a pizza should be. 😋
I highly recommend this pizzeria.
The lovely lady serving is amazing.
Competent, friendly, courteous, quick, a 100% service professional. No wish goes unfulfilled.
Pizza (bakery): great taste, interesting variations, crispy crust, simply fantastic!!
Wine: white wine and red wine, exactly as ordered. Dry and at the right temperature!
It was a great evening. The restaurant team has gained 100% new regular customers.
We wish you continued success.
