Second time at this restaurant and both times were really average. Food is not so tasty, lousy whiskey selection and cold atmosphere. Will not be back.

This is a restaurant inside a brewery but you wouldnât know except that there is a beer menu. Sadly I was driving. We had a mixture of main courses, chicken on tandoori vegetables, rock lobster (crayfish) ravioli with polenta and spinach, good fish. Service friendly but waitresses struggle with High German. Stick to English. Prices quite high for the provinces . Parking round the back. Situated outside the central old town. Pity about the nasty muzak.

Went to this bistro for dinner on a Monday night, when many of the other restaurants in the area were closed. The service was excellent and staff were attentive. The food was quite good and well presented. Nice atmosphere, located in the old town area, a couple blocks from the abbey cathedral. Prices a bit higher than expected, a bit fancier than other bistros, more of a fine restaurant. There was a special event of some type going on in the adjacent bar, so we were treated to some excellent piano music, courtesy of the guest pianist. A topnotch dining experience.Dear OregonOpus,Thank you very much for taking the time to review your dinner at the Bistro St.Gallen. We are very pleased that you enjoyed our menu and that we were impressed by the staff. Already now we are looking forward to welcome you back to the Bistro, the Einstein Bar or the Einstein Gourmet.Best regards,Michael VogtGeneral ManagerBistro - Gourmet - Bar

I picked this restaurant based on prior reviews for Swiss cuisine, but was rather disappointed. The limited seasonal menu was heavily veal/beef based. The food was ho-hum but priced at the high end. The most disappointing aspect was the understaffing, and being offered a dessert menu 30-45 minutes after main course was cleared. Better deals elsewhere!

We were visiting family in Switzerland and decided last minute go have a diner after shopping. We entered the restaurant and a friendly waitress told us no problem for table for 4. She went back to get menus, when she shortly talked to a male waiter. He looked us up and down, shaked a head at a waitress... she turned around and walk back apologizing they are âfullâ and recommended some sub-par restaurant for us.My mother in law (80) was truly offended, so were we. We did not look like bums, just regular jeans and jackets. I guess we were not good enough for them... I was never treated so rudely by restaurant in my life and was in much more upscale restaurants...Dear diverMissWe do remember your visit very well and we still are sorry that we could not welcome you in our restaurant that evening. Unfortunately we were fully booked that evening. We had some empty tables in the main restaurant but we also had some large banquets in the upper floors of the restaurant and as we always want to give our best for our costumers we decided not to take more costumers that evening. There was a sign at the entrance door of the restaurant saying: We are sorry, we are fully booked. Obviously you did not see this sign, so we had to tell you again upstairs that we are not able to serve you and we were sorry about it! We would be very happy to welcome you again and prove you that we do know costumer service! Kind regardsThe Schlössli Team

Great service, great wild game dishes variety, reasonably priced when compared with other Switzerland restaurant prices. Superb service. Hotel layout a bit cramped, they do get quite a crowd after 9pm with a cozy, local bar in the premises.
