The setting for Balances is delightful. We were seated by the river and could watch the scene on the other side. Our waitress was outstanding with the quality of the service she provided. She was also very well informed. Alas, the quality of the food did not match the quality of our service. But there was one outstanding exception with the Parmesan soup with foam. The wine list is varied and excellent.Thank you for your good review and your valuable feedback! We are pleased that you enjoyed your evening at our restaurant. We are, however, less pleased that you were not satisfied with the quality of the food. Food and service quality are very important for us and we will discuss your comments with our team. We hope we can welcome you again with us in the near future.

The menu of the day was salad, choice of entree (pasta or meat) and a dessert. Wine was also chosen. Very easy and tasty. The food came fast. Great time! Get reservations. For dinner book way in advance.Dear James,thank you for your rating and the nice words.hope to see you soon againgreetings from the Grottino1313 Team

Had we not just gotten into town or had I known of any other option at 8pm, I wouldâve chosen elsewhere. But I made reservations a while ago so we stayed because we were hungry. Unfortunately, it was during the heat wave over Europe and this place has no A/C. Add to that an open kitchen and it was crazy hot inside. It was hot outside too, but there were smokers everywhere and we hate smoke more than heat- so inside we sat. Obviously, they canât do anything about the heat, but they can prevent a meal from unnecessarily lasting 2 hours. There was only one other table inside and they were ahead of us (eating desserts before we got our dinner) and a couple tables outside. But it took 2 hours for our meal. So in the case of a non-AC restaurant, help a gal out and stop taking 30 minutes between dishes. Itâs not like we ordered risotto or asked them to thresh some wheat before making our bread. Plus when itâs that hot and your sitting forever, food just isnât as appealing. Now, on to the box. I was certainly intrigued by the box concept. For those who havenât been- they bring a wooden box to the table where it attaches and they open it up with grand ceremony and indications of how the meal will proceed. But hereâs the reality... the box holds salt/pepper, a candle/matches, a tin cup with some crackers and cream cheese in a toothpaste type tube- and sugar for coffee. Thatâs it. Thatâs the end of the box. It doesnât factor into any meal at all. So really that just seems gimmicky vs innovative. The food was above average to average. My falafel was way over fried into black crumbs but my husband enjoyed his veal. However- even a good dish canât make up for the misses. Server was friendly enough, but definitely not in a rush. They speak English which was helpful. But after spending the past 2+ weeks in Europe- this dinner is near the bottom. Dear chamdexthank you for your comment even we are unhappy to read, that you didn't like the experience with us. You are right regarding the heat, but please note that we are in a historic house and therefore we are not allowed to install an A/C. Luckily in Switzerland there are not many days with temperatures like that... Now regarding the waiting time it is usual at our place, that people have 2 hours to spend. It would have been helpful to know that you want to get a fast meal. Also the box is part of our experience, but we accept if it hasn't convinced you. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip through Europe and who knows, maybe one day you come back to give us a second chance...best regards, your Werkstatt-Team

Extraordinarily good food.Other than what is on the chalkboard inside the restaurant, there is no menu or wine list. The four course fixed price menu is what they are serving that day. Our first course was a delectable mixture of seared tuna, zucchini, capers, olives, lettuce, radicchio and who knows what else. The second course was a lemon, burrata ravioli in a butter sauce that was delicate and delicious. Third came a steak and potatoes with small pieces of rosemary, chives, eggplant, roasted peppers, kohlrabi and more. The dish was outstanding. For dessert we were served a delightful passion fruit mousse accompanied by passion fruit. By in large, the offered wines were Italian and reasonably priced. The four course menu was CHF 75 per person. We sat outdoors on the patio, but there is indoor seating as well. Service was very good.

We stopped for lunch in Lucerne on our way back from Italy in this lovely restaurant.We enjoyed the terrasse, had mushrooms noodles with cream. (I missed the cream in southern Italy). The mushroom were nice, fresh, crisp, the cream very tasty and the noodles perfect. (could have used a bit more seasoning, but better less salt then too much)I like the modern, well executed touch to traditional dishes.Started with a nice crisp cucumber/lettuce salad, good dressing.Very friendly staff.Dear DumboLuxWe appreciate your comment on your lunch-stay in August at STERN.
