"The wine restaurant “Zum alte Goten” is located in the oldest half-timbered house near the town, dates back to 1392. The house served for centuries as a residential house and was only restored by the operator pair with a lot of attention to detail and remodelled to the restaurant. There are two guest rooms, both original with a lot of work and all kinds of decoration, tables and seating do not fit into the ensemble. Very original the wine room of the “old Goten”, which seems to be driven into the back of the rock wall of the workshop. Here you will find some good drops of various excellent local wineries. The boss is a trained and tested culture and wine ambassador at the close and is happy to advise you on the selection. Food: The kitchen offers regional “reinterpreted” in seasonal change. What should not be missing for me is the piece of meat fried above the open fire, the “Obersteiner” spit roast. The spirits are divorced over the meats, whether pig, beef or lamb is “original”. The recipe that usually approx. 4 to 6 cm thick meat batches make “Obersteiner”, is almost everywhere in Idar Oberstein: depending on whether cow, pig or lamb, whether high rib or fillet, the meat is marinated with pepper, salt and onions for several hours and then grilled over open fire on beech or oak. My companions, among them the well-known restaurant critic “PetraIO”, had homemade noodles with Ratatouille ?€ and the peasant salad with fresh leaf salads, roast potatoes and bacon at €9.90. I chose the “Obersteiner” from Entrecôte to €19.90. To this end, for women, a wine-growing wine from the winery Zehmer Bad Kreuznach at 3,50 € in advance and as a wine recommendation a well-tempered Grauburgunder from the winery Sinß from Windesheim at 4,20 €. I was content with two soft beers because I was classified as a chauffeur. Rating: There was nothing to complain about both dishes of my companions and the wine recommendation. But my "Obersteiner" didn't rip me off the stool. I had chosen for the entrecôte, I was looking forward to a nice batch of meat from the high rib and was amazed, one only approx. 2cm thick disc, also not just oversized, estimated to get 220 to 250gr , served. The meat, finely marbled with small fat rim and beautiful fat eye was qualitatively fine, but not evenly roasted to the point and thus cut and bite sometimes tenderly solid as well as dry and juicy alternating, a point only in the middle. Very well seasoned and with the smoke aromas of the open beech fire it tasted perfectly. Supplemental salad and foil potatoes as well as garlic dip were fine, spicy radish salad was added on request – without calculation. Service The service was very friendly, the operator's pair has solicited us to the table and proudly answered questions about the traditional factory house, the wine range of the wine cellar and also about the history of the spit roast. Drinks and food came after a pleasant waiting period."

"Most amazing place. My first experience with this place was over 20 years ago when my family was stationed here with the military. Jump to 2017 when my partner told me we would be coming to Germany to revisit this town. Well the only thing I had on my mind was the Greek Restaurant (I couldn 't remember the name. When we showed up one of the staff in formed me that the original had burned down and the new location was built. Well that night was my first experience dinning here again since a child, an WOW the staff along with the meals were amazing. Fast forward to this evening. 11/24/19 Again we are back the only difference is we brought my mother. Again I can 't express how amazing this place is. We didn 't have a reservation nor did we call to check if they could even seat us. We walk in are greeted with such a warm welcome by the man behind the bar. Then this lovely young lady ask 's how many of us and finds a place for us. We ordered a Gyro plate , the braised lamb shank with eggplant and the musacka plate. All of it was great. The atmosphere perfect. I hope and pray that I will be able to enjoy this place again in my life time."

"Very delicious food and large portions. If you pay, you get almost a bad conscience as the prices for good and plentiful food are almost too low. The conditions are very friendly and you are always served with a smile. You can finally want to eat everything you can imagine, as you can also make special requests by preorder next to the normal card. Burger creations are unique and everything is fresh. Also from open fire there are delicious things. I could write a lot more, but I'll do it for a minute. Go! It is highly recommended. Thanks to the team of Schleffer."

"We were fortunate enough to have shared our first experience with a nice couple with ties to Greece; so they took the liberty to order a wonderful variety of authentic, greek dishes, each more flavorful than the last. The staff were very friendly and attentive....Without having seen the menu, I cannot say for certain, but the Restaurant Poseidon does in no way, resemble so many of the other, ethnic restaurants in Germany, with their pseudoGermanish cuisine and decor; the Poseidon felt authentic from the core. We will definitely return with friends and family. The place is very big and has a large terrace for the warmer months. Be sure to book a reservation far in advance, as this place is popular"
