Hotel Hofgarten Restaurant

Reviewed By JWGrum

It's not always easy to find a place to eat when you are hungry. It's best to be hungry at lunchtime (noon-2pm) when the restaurants offer their daily menu at a reasonable price. The service was friendly. The sun was shining. People were happy.

We enjoyed a very lovely dinner in a classic atmosphere. Excellent service. There is an issue of trying to find entrance....it is around the back despite signage. Once you get in.... it is great. Suggest reservations. Lots of locals. Excellent choices on menu. We had beef strogehoff and veal cordon bleu. Both very good.

In Lake Lucerne before a river cruise. Asked our concierge for authentic Swiss cuisine and voila! Hotel Wilden Mann. The first night, my husband had to talk his way in, with the help of the restaurant manager, he was successful. They managed to squeeze in our party of eight. Everything was EXCELLENT! Most of us had the veal pie, with cognac soaked raisins. Others had the veal meatloaf. Again, everything was excellent. So good, in fact, we made reservations for the next night. We also relayed our find to the rest of our traveling group, 18 more. They all made reservations, as well. So our entire group of 26 people ate here the following night. I would highly recommend Hotel Wilden Mann.Dear GuestThank you so much for your amazing review.A big thank you as well, to the concierge of the hotel you were staying at, without his recommendation we wouldn’t be able to serve you and your friends in 2 consecutive days. Your comments are greats compliments for all our kitchen and service team. Look forward seeing you soon again.Best regards Your Wilden Mann Luzern Team

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.

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.

Reviewed By chamdex

Had we not just gotten into town or had I known of any other option at 8pm, I would’ve 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 can’t 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. It’s not like we ordered risotto or asked them to thresh some wheat before making our bread. Plus when it’s that hot and your sitting forever, food just isn’t as appealing. Now, on to the box. I was certainly intrigued by the box concept. For those who haven’t 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 here’s 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. That’s it. That’s the end of the box. It doesn’t 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 can’t 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
