Upscale restaurant, highly recommended, but not for low budget customers. Atmosphere, price-performance ratio, food and wine were excellent. Go back there.

Took the business lunch option. My husband had the beef steak which was extremely tender and yum. The tiny appetizer (salmon with beets) was special. I also like the small sweets at the end.

We had a delightful lunch at this restaurant, and we truly appreciated the attentive staff. The wine selection by the glass was outstanding; we chose Swiss Pinot Noir and German Chardonnay. The superb bread served with olive oil enhanced our dining experience. The interior of the restaurant provides an immersive and stunning setting, especially with seating under a glass roof and the captivating wall painting, adding to the overall great dining experience.

We know the guild hall well. Spontaneously the only option is often the bistro, where you probably don't need any cooks: Just lettuce as a starter. Main meal: Little selection of rather cold, simple cuisine - Chicken nuggets - Club sandwich - Tartar... With the Wiener Schnitzel...for 46,--Chf. A shattered mass of meat was hidden under the hard breading, which was tasteless and tough. Too expensive for performance and offer.

A food adventure! I loved it all. Very interesting and amazingly beautiful. If you like everything and are willing to try something new, then this is your place. Everything was incredible. I’m not a picky eater but desire excellence and they delivered. It was extraordinary! The only odd thing is that they have the ingredients to craft traditional cocktails but don’t seem to know how to make an Old Fashioned and other bar standards. I thought something might be lost in translation.

Wonderful dining experience in a historical setting, yet the restaurant didn't lose its touch on modernizing itself. From the manager to waiters/waitresses, everyone was courteous and kind. The main dishes here today are the white asparagus soup and beef fillet with potatoes. The meal ended with two pieces of sweets, which are not too sweet and on point!

It was quite a surprise that after being on the waiting list for dinner on December 25, a table remained free and we could enjoy this magnificent restaurant. A restaurant where the product and detail are respected at all times. The roasted apple soup paired with Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Kabinett trocken 2020 has been one of the most impressive dishes I have ever had, especially for using a product as modest as the apple and turning it into a delicatessen. The atmosphere of the restaurant is unique with its tiled stove and all the history that surrounds the building. Our waiter spoke Spanish and it was very nice to learn details about the history of the restaurant. A place to return, without a doubt.

Service and ambience top. We had our business lunch. None of us thought the food was particularly special. E.g. You would have to look for the sauce on the nut salad and the diced ham was dry and somewhat burnt. The vegetables as a side dish tasted like nothing and were soggy. It's a shame, we were disappointed and expected something different for these prices. Unfortunately not recommended.

I was here for lunch yesterday, as I have done so many times before. But somehow it was different. The waitress was very impatient with the order. When we ordered, the wrong menu came for me, so I had to wait again for the food. When we weren't so happy to accept this, the waiter offered us coffee, which made us very happy. We both ordered an Expresso, but when we paid we were just perplexed: WE ACTUALLY HAD TO PAY FOR THIS EXPRESSO...there are no words to it... ...I will probably take my foreign guests to another restaurant in the future. A pity!

We had the pumpkin soup with lemongrass for starter and the Veal Basel style (with liver and sweetbread) and the Tenderloin steak, with Rosti, potato salad and a green salad of fresh lettuce leaves as our sides. All sauces and sides were just delicious. Service and restaurant vibes were all very enjoyable.
