"I was in Aachen on a Sunday night staying at the brand new Hampton Hilton just outside town and was looking for a decent restaurant open on a Sunday night. I checked the Michelin guide to see which restaurants were open and then Trip Advisor to see what people recommended. I went on the websites for both places to look at the menus. I had thought about going to the Haus am See but Reuters House was very close to my hotel so I decided to check it out first and after seeing the nice setting and studying the menu I decided to stay there.You can sit outside as it's on a pedestrian street but I chose to sit just inside. I wanted to sit on the banquette and the restaurant manager Mr Creutz kindly gave me a table for four although I was alone so I didn't dare complain about the glass of Sekt being completely flat.I chose the 5 course menu for €55 which I found to be excellent value for money. All the dishes were beautifully presented and delcious. I started with the beef tartar then had the gazpacho which was tasty but I found the portion to be really tiny. Another ladle would probably have satisfied me.I then had the gnocchi which would have been much better without the blood sausage. After that I had the sea bass which was excellent and then I had a mixture of mini desserts which were very good.I had a bottle of white wine and was impressed by the wine prices which were extremely reasonable - 24 euro for a bottle of Gavi di Gavi.So, everything was great but...the Greek waiter needs to get intimate with a bar of soap, if possible in his shower, and buy a good anti-perspirant, one whiff of his armpits was enough to completely put me off my dinner.And Mr Creutz, I hope you will offer me a glass of Sekt the next time I come to make up for the flat one I had.Otherwise, I loved this restaurant, would give it a star and will definitely come back."

"This review has been a long time coming. Been coming here for about a year now at least once a month or so. The food is good, hearty portions, definitely value for money, salad comes with the meal. The house wine is a nice Greek...house wine. What makes me come back time and time again is the great family that own this place and my favorite comfort food dish at a great price. I may have a local passport but I am and always will be a foreigner, but they make me feel at home. They always got a smile on their faces and a kind word for us. Almost every time I take forever looking over the menu, I always wind up choosing out of one or two of my favorite dishes, it is just one of those things a real comfort I can count on, and they never get irritated by that habit of mine and they don't rush me no matter how busy, so thank you for that. I only wish they had some nice outside space, if they did I would be there almost the whole summer also. My only tip for them is the lighting in the back area of the restaurant, it needs to be done like the front to give it that cozy feel, it is the reason I try and request the front oh and perhaps being closer to the friendly family: Oh and a Greek night would be fantastic! Tastes are adjusted for the locals on some dishes, keep that in mind. Atmosphere is not chic, it is very homey, but that being said fresh flowers on the table and candles, so it has the charm and romance of a little Greek restaurant: Heck I am now craving my favorite dish Bifteki, I may just have to go tonight.... Thanks for the wonderful meals and great memories! See you soon"

"We´ve been eating Thai food from the very beginning of it´s success story about 40 years ago when the first restaurants opened in Germany.Since then we´ve tried Thai food all over the world (mainly in Thailand, UK, Germany)Our amazing summary after half a lifetime: You find three of the best Thai dishes here at the Sukhothai (former Bangkok) restaurant perfectly cooked and even better than in Thailand:Jungle Curry (Waldpaste), outstanding tasty though hot (for unexperienced very hot) and always slightly different in its taste. You rarely find that dish in other restaurants (ingredients are not very common and for most people it´s too hot)Basil Chicken (Basilikum), a bit differently prepared than the usual Thai basil, hot, sometimes very hot, always excellentSoup Tom-Yam-Gai, in many restaurants you might find it either just hot or revealing a one dimensional taste. Here it´s much more, you have to try it once in your life. (If you don´t like it, then carry on with eating pizza and pasta)Most of the other curries and the Thai beef salad are above-average, too.Coktails are also to be recommended, the lunch menu offers a good value for money.Nevertheless the fried starters platter and the Massaman (untypically coming along with pineapple pieces) are a bit disappointing. However lots of people like that "sweet" Massaman here, but we don´t.A much better Massaman curry you´ll find at Freiburg (and of course other cities...), but that´s another story..."
