Unfortunately we have not been able to eat, for this reason we cannot give a rating for the food. We wanted to dine for two. We saw 3 free tables and asked the waitress if there was anything available. This turned around and I was only assuming she would have to consider whether one of the tables behind her would be occupied. After about 40 seconds of embarrassing pause, she turned back to us and said: "Sorry I had to have a look what this dog is doing, because that is our terrace, it has to be clean."
At that moment I was already perplexed and just said "yes, of course, ok". Then she looked past us again, meanwhile all three occupied tables, of which four gentlemen at two tables had empty plates in front of them, really looked at us. And she said: "But we only have one surprise menu." She asked us, "or is there something you don't eat." I said, "chicken and pork." She said: "There is no such thing with us anyway" and I felt laughed at.
For me, chicken and pork can be found on some menus, even if I don't eat that. We were still standing!

Then she asked if we were or were sick! I said I assume we are not sick or were not! (I mean, who knows ??? We haven't been tested at least in the last 24 hours)
She said, "Do you believe that or do you know that? I have to ask, I am obliged to that" We are still standing, all the guests looked at us and listened to our really more than unpleasant back and forth. I said: "We never met felt sick and always wore a mask in DE. " You: "Yes masks have no meaning. You can still be sick". I just thought: My God, when will this questioning finally end !! Then she finally assigned us a table. I have to say I've never felt so uncomfortable. My companion noticed this and made a decision for us and said to the lady: "Sorry we changed our minds, we don't want to dine here." Then she said: "Yes, then not."

I don't know what was the main reason for treating us so pejoratively. Maybe we were dressed too sportily or the skin color of my companion was a problem for the waitress. I will not find out. At least we weren't welcome in this restaurant. A shame, because the Google reviews and the great pictures made us aware of the nice restaurant.
