Ristorante Adria

Reviewed By BUNCHofGRAPES

Zusammenfassung: Italien ist berühmt für Gute Küche, die aus guten Wurstwaren Salami, Käsen wie Mozzarella, sowie für Liebe zu hochqualitativen Meeresfrüchten und gutem Wein. Hier findet man das nicht, sondern Produkte einer im höchsten Fall Supermarktqualität schwach zubereitet. Wenn ich Surimi in den Gerichten sehe oder wenn der Anteil von Zwiebel auf der Pizza ist der Höchste von allen Zutaten, dann weiß ich, der Koch/Chef legt nicht den Wert auf die Qualität. Und das zog sich durch alle Gerichte. Die niedrige Position im TA-Ranking ist berechtigt. Für Alles ist Management schuld. Lokal: befindet sich nicht weit vom Stadtzentrum (zu Fuß erreichbar) auf der Hauptstrasse, Einrichtung durchschnitt aber deutlich besser als Küche. Ich würde hier nur mit Familie oder Freunden Essen kommen. Rendezvous oder Geschäftsessen würde ich ausschliessen. Service: aufmerksam, schnell, ich gehe davon aus, die Kellnerin hatte etwas schlechteren Tag und an anderen Tagen die Laune ist besser. Ansonsten alles ok. Bierauswahl (vom Fass): Licher und das ist gute Auswahl. Weinauswahl: Durchschnitt ich kenne schon bessere Weine aus Italien. Küche also das Wichtigste: ich habe Fischsuppe, Zwiebelsuppe und Pizza probiert. Suppen waren nicht genug heiß (warum serviert Ihr diese kleine Portionen in so großen und flachen Tellern, die Suppe wird schnell kalt) aber die Fischsuppe vom Geschmack gut dagegen Zwiebelsuppe war ein Lachnummer. Der Koch nahm nämlich seine Minestrone-Suppe, dazu hatte Zwiebel auf der Pfanne frisch gebraten und mit einer Baguettescheibe mit schwacher Käse überbacken dazu getan. Dann kam Pizza. Teig war im Geschmack zu brotlästig, Sauce kaum zu spüren aber gut, Käse sehr schwach (definitiv nicht Mozzarella) und die Zutaten wie Salami einfach Drama. Preisleistungsverhältnis: die Suppen sind für das was sie anbieten zu teuer (6-7 EUR) aber auch Pizza mit solchen Zutaten und Küchenleistung zu teuer. BofG - Wiederkommen/Empfehlungsfaktor (0-100%): 25% ich komme hier eher nicht wieder.

You will remember eating here. It has great ambience, not very sophisticated, but memorable in a nice way. Try the spare ribs and you'll be a happy traveller for days..

Justus im Hessischen Hof

Reviewed By patrick G

For the start of the Oktoberfest in München the restaurant offered also some typical dishes beside the normal menu. I eat the Schweinehaxe in Biersoße. It was no problem to change the Knödel (I don't like those balls that much) in Bratkartoffelen. It was delicious after some disappointing experiences in other restaurants during my stay in Gießen. For me the best placce to go. Friendly staff.

We sat up on the roof, Wow! What a beautiful view. The Food was very tasty. The service was extremely disappointing! Probably some of the worst service I have ever had. The wait staff and bartender were entirely unenthusiastic and disengaged. They pointed guests to the menus instead of bringing them to the table. We gave up on having water or another round of cocktails with our meal. When we were ready for the check we had to wait, it was almost impossible to get anyone's attention ~ we were not the only table begging for the check ~ there were 3 others. The staff kept themselves busy having a bite to eat, smoking and chatting among themselves. We come to Giessen frequently and often bring guests. I would be embarrassed to bring guest here.

Reviewed By NomadicAdventurer

The atmosphere inside is old school German brewery style and very popular. I don’t go for the food but it is average grade German food. The beer however is fantastic and ever changing. You can also purchase to take home.The service is either very good or very slow, depending on the night. On the bad nights you wonder why your glass is empty and no one replenishes it. One for an owner to consider.Will always return unless the service considerably declines.

Restaurant Schlosskeller

Reviewed By NomadicAdventurer

I have eaten here twice but more recently we had our wedding lunch here due to the prior experiences (especially my wife being from Giessen) but also it has a sophisticated atmosphere underneath in the cellars of a beautiful university building. The outdoor garden is also a quiet lovely place to eat in the warmer season overlooking the botanical gardens (oldest botanical garden in Germany).The menu is special as is the wine menu with many local ingredients and in season food items. The staff are always professional and for example when we sat with the head chef, he was very responsive with our dinner selection for our occasion and made good recommendations as our family & friends really enjoyed the long lunch.I recommend booking, lunches are very busy but it must be very nice here in the evening to eat among candles within the old alcoves of the cellar.Enjoy the experience. We will return many times.

We took our Giessen, Germany hosts to this restaurant that we had read good reviews about as our thank you to them. They had not been there as yet. It was a fabulous dinner, exquisite flavors and tastes, beautifully served. Each of us were delighted with our meals. The service was impeccable but not intrusive, albeit a little on the slow side (which has been true more often than not in our whole European experience this time). It was expensive but appropriate for our purposes.
