"We ate at this restaurant during a weeklong stay in Herford, visiting our daughter who lived there at the time. It was a birthday celebration for my wife and we walked to the restaurant, located just off the inner ring road in central Herford. Blessed...with a warm, sunny evening, we opted to sit outside; the restaurant was pretty dead on a Wednesday evening and I think there may only have been another three or four tables occupied during the evening. The Alte Schule is quiet pricey compared to most of the other restaurants located in Herford so not sure if that had anything to do with it. We had a glass of Prosecco each while we pondered the menu and then a bottle of Primitivo from Puglia to share, together with bottle water, pricey enough at Euro 6 per bottle though the wine was very reasonable at under Euro 20. For starters I had Crunchy Quail Lasagne with shitake mushrooms and mango chutney while my had Apple onion, veal liver ravioli with sauce and nuts while my wife had Baked Mozzarella in a herb crust with linguine in a ricotta peppercorn sauce. For mains, I had, while my wife had Surf and Turf with Orzo pasta though strangely the steak was braised, which is unusual for a Surf and Turf. My daughter had Bouillabaisse Risotto with Monk Fish. I had the dessert selection and my daughter had the cheese board, both of which were just okay, perhaps a little disappointing. The bill came to Euro 155.50 before the tip. We had a pleasant evening with good service and would most likely return if in Heford again."

"New concept: condemned to failure! We were back in the Nile, as the buffet always enjoyed us very well. But we were very disappointed. The buffet many will know it was always built in U form. Appetizers on the right main dishes and on the small counter Dessert. Now the buffet begins only at the heels of the long counters and begins there with dessert. I would say that the selection has been reduced by 50 60%. There are no more leaf salads, no Vitello Tonnato, no longer the tasty pommes (nun are quite normal frits that were very fat), fewer meat types, no tiramisu etc.....signments are wrong or missing partially, empty foods are unfortunately often not filled up by themselves. Food was mostly KALT!!! The demand for staff has shown that there is a new lead that is of the opinion of halving the selection and keeping prices (or increasing Saturday afternoon from 8.90 to 17.90). Does it make sense? The shop is getting empty...people, that's not gonna be...some other guests were very dissatisfied. The staff said that numerous complaints have already been passed on, but the management cannot accept it. Well, if the customer opinion doesn't count here, you must live without guests. Good luck! It makes no sense to prepare a huge buffet for 10 guests, half will be thrown away. But watch that place is full! The buffet is also worth it at better conditions! PS: Why a star? Because the staff was friendly and understood."
