"We have been in this restaurant on a Monday evening for dinner. We have seen the restaurant some time ago and looked nice, so we decided to give it a try. After minutes waiting for a table, we finally got a seat as soon...as the family seating there got up. Unfortunately, the waiter did not notice us until I did call him explicitly and asked him to at least tidy up the table the dishes and glasses from the previous guests were still there. After that we got the menus and the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink. I did reply that we would need to read the menu we wanted to order some wine and asked him to wipe the table he didn't do it when clearing up and there were still remains from the previous guests. this made him upset and I am still wondering why. Once we were done with reading the menus we did finally order drinks and food. We ordered some appetizers and a couple of warm dishes, explicitly asking for the appetizers to come as soon as possible. After minutes waiting, I had to call again the waiter and ask about our appetizers mixed appetizers dish, does not require any cooking so should have been done quickly. The waiter was kind of upset about my request, even though I was asking politely and after a quite long wait time. Finally, we received our appetizers and following also the warm dishes. The food was ok, but nothing special. The appetizers should have come with an ouzo but we didn't receive it, we thought that maybe they would have brought it after dinner. Once we finished the main course we decided to order a dessert. We opted for a slice of cake, which was actually quite good. Even here, waiting almost minutes for a slice of cake that just needed to be placed on a plate seem to be too much, also given the fact that many tables were already empty and there were not so many customers anymore. Finally, we asked for the bill. Unfortunately there were two errors in it. We first noticed that we were charged for two wine carafes, while we just had one. After asking the waiter he did check with the responsible and she confirmed that that was a mistake. Then he did subtract the amount not due and showed us the new total. We did pay also left some tip, but probably the waiter thought the tip was not enough since he almost thrown the euros change on the table and left without even saying thank you. Then, while looking again at the bill we noticed that we were charged euros for a chicken souvlaki normal price was Again we did call the waiter and told him about the error and again he did ask the responsible about it. She took the bill and checked again with the menu. Of course she did notice the error and gave us the difference except for cents, more tip for the waiter I suppose. We left the restaurant and went back home, quite disappointed. We will never come again of course, since we were unwanted guests: all tables around us got an ouzo shot on the house together with the bill, all except us"

"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."
