"my man and I ate here on a trip from the england to visit family in herford. I was once before and remembered that it wanted to come back. the website is easy to navigate and very informative, I found it really useful for the planning. our journey. we have gone here so I can't comment on parking, but I can say this is a nice short walk from the center of herford where we stayed. in the interior is the decor fantastic traditional Greek style roller shutters mirror, wood beams, terracotta flowing and white walls, it is very tasteful and I felt as if I were in Greece! the inner is also super clean. the staff was all friendly and personal. I'm not sure if they're a family, but it felt like a family business that eats with people that they feel really welcome without intentional behavior. the service was very efficient. we were pleased to be offered English menus and received a shot of ouzo? everyone to start. the starters were beautifully presented, large portions. the garnel of my man in tomato sauce with cheese were delicious! I did not cost my starter of grilled paprika on garlic roasted brot, but this was my personal preference, instead it was something wrong with the court I expected grilled paprika, but instead it was green chili paprika, do I think? I didn't like the taste. our main lamb steaks with crimp butter, chicken steaks with wee sauce, mushrooms, tomatoes and feta were again well presented, large portions. they were both excellent, especially the lamb that was cooked for perfection. the icing on the cake was the price €48 for 2x 2 courses and 2 softdrinks that I feel was more than reasonable! we enjoyed a wonderful meal here in a beautiful environment with beautiful staff. I would return in a heartbeat and would definitely recommend others. Thank you."

"We ate at this restaurant on the first night of a weeklong stay in Herford, visiting our daughter who lived there at the time. We walked to the restaurant, located literally just outside the suburbs of Herford, on a balmy summer evening, up the hill...with a cornfield on one side and a wheat field on the other. There was a wedding reception taking place but we managed to get a very good outside table overlooking the fields with two hot-air balloons floating about not far off. The staff were friendly and helpful and a couple of them spoke good English. The menus were only available in German, fair enough as Herford is not particularly on the main tourist circuit but it does nonetheless still have a couple of barracks full of British service personnel. Having previously lived in Germany, albeit nearly 30 years ago, I was able to translate most of the menu and the waiter was able to assist with the odd word or two. As is common in Germany, the menu was heavily influenced with Pork dishes but was varied enough. In our party of four, three of us had the Beef Carpaccio for starters, which was sublime, while one had a chicken satay skewer in a coconut broth, which was also very good. For mains, between us we had a fillet steak, pork cordon-bleu, hamburger and fries, and I had Pork Tenderloin, which was very salty. I had forgotten just how generous portions tend to be in Germany and the Steinmeyer lived up to this reputation. Unfortunately, having sat chatting for while after the main courses, when we did eventually ask for the dessert menu, we were told that the kitchen was closed! Just as well I suppose! So, while not blown away by the food, the setting makes for a really nice evening out and with the exception of over-seasoned pork fillet, the food was pretty good and I would most likely return if in Heford again."
