    (Translated by Google) Friendly service, coffee in order, the cake probably rather defrosted. (Original) Freundliche Bedienung, Kaffee in Ordnung, der Kuchen wohl eher Auftauware.

    (Translated by Google) Nice ambience, nice staff. The food is delicious, if a bit expensive. The same applies to the drinks. Nevertheless, one of my favorite bars in Darmstadt (Original) Nettes Ambiente, nettes Personal. Das Essen ist sehr lecker, wenn auch teils etwas teuer. Gleiches gilt auch für die Getränke. Trotzdem eine meiner Lieblingsbars in Darmstadt

    (Translated by Google) Cozy and understated atmosphere. I'm a fan of the food, which is usually served in tapas size, even if I'm not a typical tapas, but a changing map of everything possible. So you can always try several things, which is worthwhile, as the food is always delicious. (Original) Gemütliche und understated Atmosphäre. Bin ein Fan von dem Essen, das meist in Tapas-Größe serviert wird, auch wenn ich es keine typischen Tapas sind, sondern eine wechselnde Karte von allem Möglichen. So kann man immer mehrere Sachen probieren, was sich lohnt, da das Essen immer sehr lecker ist.

    (Translated by Google) Nice bistro with good snacks and a great barista ?. The ambience looks grown and not like the clothes rail as the big chains. (Original) Schönes Bistro mit guten Snacks und einem tollen Barista ?. Das Ambiente sieht gewachsen aus und nicht wie von der Kleiderstange wie bei den großen Ketten.

    Complaint. So guys I usually don't do this but here some experience sharing from Saturday. I met a friend for coffee it was 15h30 and we sat at Zoo in Darmstadt, 2nd place we were trying as the first one's kitchen was closed between 15h and 18h. We chose to stay still. We order, same message in that place. Here is a thing : I was coming from sport, hadn't had lunch and am breastfeeding. In short I was starving 😁 When i asked her, the waitress advised we shouldn't eat but advised the kitchen was closed and suggested the cheese cake which I ordered with a coffee. My friend saw me and offered to go get me a sandwich from the baker next door which I found was a great idea. I fed my baby then ate the sandwich discreetly but not hiding it. Here came a 2nd waiter advising me that his colleague already told me consuming other goods in the restaurant was not wished. To which I apologized and explained I was starving, breastfeeding and the cheese cake was just not enough and the kitchen was closed. Then by the time we paid the bill came a 3rd waitress who again came back to this point and advised that this was not ok and that breastfeeding was not the argument here. I explained again and at this point my German friend intervened and confirmed no alternative had been offered to me but the damned cake 😊. And yet that 3rd waitress kept insisting and insusting this was not okay and breastfeeding should not be considered as an argument. So being told things 3 times just felt unkind and demeaning and I just recommend you avoid going to this place. That's all folks thanks for reading this post.

  • 4/5 Andre B. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The ambiance is thrifty, but the food is good. The service is attentive and nice. Sitting outside at the city church is always pretty in the dusk. Even with a glass of wine a nice atmosphere for profound discussions. Parking is not here. You should avoid the parking garages in the area. (Original) Das Ambiente ist sparsam, aber das Essen gut. Der Service ist aufmerksam und nett. An der Stadt Kirche draußen sitzen ist in den Dämmerstunden immer recht schön. Auch bei einem Glas Wein eine schöne Atmosphäre für tiefgründige Gespräche. Parkplätze sind hier keine. Man sollte auf die Parkhäuser der Umgebung ausweichen.

    Cocktails aren't so good and the service very slow also to have a bill we waited more than 10 minuts.The place has two floors the first one is nice, the second seems to be abandoned. I've never eaten there so I have no idea how it could be.

  • 5/5 蘇于傑 1 year ago on Google
    A bar you have to go through arch first, with nice and silent atmosphere. At night drink outside with a candle, talk and chat with friends, here is one of the best choice to do it. (Remember if you need some snacks, just go into the store and have a look!)

  • 5/5 Iga J. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool place to sit and rest with a glass of wine or a drink. They also have something to eat with your drink. Nice place to meet friends or for an evening break. Food is really tasty.

  • 3/5 Kas T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place with good atmosphere and nice selection of wines. Moderate food, some dishes were great (pumpkin ricotta ravioli and desserts) some were not as good (rabbit - very dry and hard to cut). Friendly stuff. But please do something with the toilets - it's very weak point....

  • 4/5 Tania S. 10 months ago on Google
    A good place to have a glass of wine or/and a light dinner. Nice atmosphere, consistently good service (which is not so usual in germany unfortunately), not cheap but not excessively expensive either.

    (Translated by Google) Only something to drink, waitresses were nice and brisk, but the shop sees itself more as a chic tapas bar. Not mine in terms of ambience. But there is Pilsner Urquell on tap! (Original) Nur was getrunken, Bedienungen waren nett und flott, der Laden versteht sich allerdings eher als schicke Tapasbar. Vom Ambiente her nicht meins. Aber es gibt Pilsner Urquell vom Fass!

    (Translated by Google) The food is quite good. The menu often varies, so you always have varied evenings. The prices are very humane. However, some seating areas could be cleaner. It couldn't hurt if the waitress could do the math again. (Original) Das Essen ist ganz gut. Die Speisekarte variiert oftmals, sodass man immer abwechslungsreiche Abende hat. Die Preise sind sehr human. Allerdings könnten einige Sitzbereiche sauberer sein. Es könnte auch nicht schaden, wenn die Kellnerin das Kopfrechnen nochmal wiederholen könnte.

    (Translated by Google) I don't leave negative reviews very easily, but I am very disappointed. The location is very nice but that's the only positive thing I can call. The cocktails we ordered were not good as we had very little alcohol and more water-ice inside. For 8 euros I would like to drink something stronger than a "mojito" with little alcohol and far too much ice and lime. In addition, the staff was very rude. It would not give me my change and when I went inside to inform the waitress (maybe she made a mistake, is human too) she just said "that she thought it was a tip", although I never did something like that said. Simply taking the money from the customer and leaving, no opinion is impossible, and since I also work in the field, I would never do anything like that. I like to tip if I am happy with the service etc. Toilets weren't clean either. So I would like to come again because I think the location is great, but I do not because of the staff and the quality of the drinks. (Original) Ich lasse nicht sehr einfach negative Bewertungen, aber ich bin sehr enttäuscht. Die Lage ist sehr schön aber das ist das einzigste positive ,dass ich nennen kann. Die Cocktails, die wir bestellt haben waren nicht gut, da wir nur sehr wenig alcohol und mehr wasser- Eis drinn. Für 8 euro würde ich gerne etwas stärkeres als ein "Mojito" mit wenig alcohol und viel zu viel Eis und Limette, trinken. Zusätzlich war das Personal sehr unfreundlich. Es würde mir mein Rückgeld nicht gegeben und als ich drinnen im Laden gegangen bin, um die Kellnerin zu informieren( vielleicht hat sie nen Fehler gemacht, ist auch menschlich) hat sie einfach gesagt "dass sie dachte, es wäre Trinkgeld", obwohl ich niemals so was sagte. Einfach das Geld von dem Kunden nehmen und gehen, geht keiner Meinung nicht, und da ich auch in dem Feld arbeite würde ich so was niemals machen. Ich gebe sehr gerne Trinkgeld, wenn ich auch mit dem Service usw zufrieden bin. Toiletten waren auch nicht sauber. Also ich wurde gern nochmals kommen, da ich die Lage einfach super finde, mache ich aber nicht wegen des Personals und der Qualität von Getränken.

    (Translated by Google) Promter and polite service. I think all the staff there did a very good job, and the inn is truly tastefully furnished. No cheap decoration, but there was a lot of lovely colors coordinated with each other. From our point of view, a meeting is highly recommended. The taste there is very much a pleasure. The portions are an appealing and filling league. (Original) Promter und höflicher Dienst. Ich finde, dass das gesamte Personal dort einen sehr guten Job gemacht hat.Das Gasthaus ist wahrhaftig äußerst geschmackvoll möbliert. Keine cheap Deko, sondern es war farblich vieles überaus lieblich auf einander abgestimmt.Aus unserer Sicht ist ein Treff da total zu empfehlen.Vom Geschmack ist dort sehr vieles ein Genuss. Die Portionen sind eine ansprechende und sättigende Liga.

    A cozy wine bar. Walk in here and you'll be confronted with the heady smell is great cheeses in a warm, comfortable atmosphere. A few hours here to by quickly. The service is attentive and full of good humour. I was surprised that, although the upstairs is a smoking area, you can't smell this downstairs at all - a plus for those who prefer to preserve their lungs. Their wine is varied good - I'll be back!
