  • Gourmet, but very unaccommodating

We reserved on the website, and only could get a table at 8:30 PM, but when we got there, the place was quite empty, so that was a bit strange. We would have liked an earlier hour. And, if we had an earlier hour, we would have left and found someplace else to eat, because the menu is very limited and I had very little to eat. There are two fixed menus. I told the waiter that due to health reasons I must restrict the carbohydrates that I eat and asked what he recommended. He was not at all nice. Rather than to suggest which courses might be the best, he just said "everything has carbohydrates - either potatoes or grain" etc., and if I wanted something special I would have had to let them know several days in advance. I asked if he could make a plate with some of the items from different dishes, and he said it is not possible. Though the food is quite gourmet and what I tasted was good, and it was served very nicely, and the ambiance very nice, the restaurant must learn to accommodate people who might have some eating restrictions. Due to the late hour (the service was not speedy, so after getting menus, which required asking for some explanations, it took a while before a waiter bothered to come back to us), we didn't leave and I ordered only a main dish because everything had either potatoes or grain or some other carbohydrates, and my main dish (there was only a choice of two) was risotto - also a grain, and white rice, at that, but I thought there would be grilled vegetables, as in the description . As it turns out, there were just a few slices of roasted vegetables. And who would guess that "radishes vinnaigrette" consists of about a spoonful of very finely shredded radishes?? At an accommodating restaurant (and I've been to many, though not in Germany) the wait staff would say "it might take a few more minutes, but we should be able to put together something for you". They could have made me a plate with more grilled vegetables - I suggested that - and some of the mushrooms from a different dish, and some of the "cheese balls" or whatever they were, without the risotto. They must make the roasted vegetables separately before they put them on top of the risotto so I can't see why they could not have done something like that. Do they count out exactly how many zucchini slices they need per main dish and not have any extra? They were most unaccommodating. Also, they have an 80 Euro minimum to use a credit card, and, since I did n
