We wanted to take out-of-town guests for German food and headed to Zur Kates. It turned out to be closed on a Monday evening so we then walked over to Bavarian Point in the same complex because it was open.
The restaurant was almost empty, there were three tables with guests. We were a group of 7 and seated at a table with room for 6. I had to remove a dirty used fork that was in the middle of my placemat. That should have been a clue as to what was to come.
Service was extremely slow, waited a long time for menus and water. Two people in our group (after 3 times asking) finally received their coffee and tea 30 minutes later.
We asked the waitress for three separate orders and she refused. She said it was because she was the only waitress. I do not understand why that would be a reason, it was a slow night in the restaurant, we were the 4th table for dinner. How hard is it to write three different tabs.
The salad bar was pathetic, had to ask a server for lettuce because the bowl was empty. The chilled brussel sprouts were tasteless.
I had the Wurst Peanne which had 3 different sausages, sauerkraut and fried potatoes. The sauerkraut was so overcooked, soggy, tasteless and inedible in my opinion. The fried potatoes were just about as bad, they were extremely bland. About the only thing I enjoyed was the bread placed at the table. I took two of the sausages home but left the potatoes and sauerkraut in the pan.
Some of our other guests had the Jagerschnitzel and we have never seen schnitzels cut so thin. The two small slices each were an 8th of an inch thick. We have been all through Germany many, many times and we had never had a schnitzel like this before. Very disappointing.
Also the waitress was rude (but I think more lazy) by having the guest pass the menus around the table and she also did this with three take out boxes. She had me reach in front of the person to my right to get my box.
We apologized to our guests for such a horrible dinner and next time we will wait and take them to Zur Kate's. This is not the restaurant to go to if you want German food.
