Seerose - Bezirk Affoltern

We planned to celebrate and have a nice meal in the Seerose after my son completed the Ironman Event . From the Start on walking into the restaurant we felt uncomfortable .We were put on a table and we asked if we could be changed to the lake view , he said it was to dark ( yet there were a lot people in that location and a large lamp beside the table ) We moved , The waiter did not like it at all , we went to order , he then said it will rain in 30 mins , so we said it's ok we will move with the other people sat at there tables, he said very abruptly That's why we put you on that table , we then said we didn't know it would rain which he replied any one can see it's going to rain just look up , then he said have you got a problem with me , we said yes you are very abrupt and have a terrible attitude , he said really you can leave if you want ! We were going to leave but decided Due to the long day we had he would not upset us on this special occasion . Eventually it rained so we were moved , when my cousin said could we go inside He said sorry its full , there wasn't one person sat at any tables inside , because we said that he then turned and said would you like to go inside ? Another young man served us the steak it was delicious, thank god , he was lovely and asked us About our day . We had a good talk to him . While the other waiter hoovered starring We felt that uncomfortable we finished our meal paid and left . The meal was £375Steak - Bootle -wine- spirit . I needed to tell all as it was appalling I am going to name and shame as the other waiter was really nice , The appalling waiter was of darker skin colour , about 40 , wish I got his name . Won't set foot in there again .Shame as the restaurant is lovely and the food delicious.

Visited 3 times in 2 years period. No more for me. Only the views have been pleasant. Food and service mostly terrible. No value for the money.

Situated a little out of Zurich (8 minutes) on the lake shore, this is a fine place for lunch on a sunny day. The best tables are outside overlooking the lake and mountains. No extra charge, however I do wish Switzerland, and other countries would ban smoking at restaurants. Food and smoking do not mix well! It is a shame one has to sit inside on a sunny day to avoid the smokers at tables outside (Al Fresco). Anyhow the food was fresh and very well presented. The menu was adequate for lunch but might be a little light for dinner. Wine list excellent with a choice of local, European and other wines. The waiters were knowledgeable about the food and wine and very polite - well done! Prices were on the up side but we are in Switzerland where one has to expect to be fleeced a little. Ask for parking on arrival as the restaurant has its own nearby. Overall a good four star performance and worth a visit.

Excellent and wonderful atmosphere overlooking the lake

Nice place to chill out with a fun aperitif. Prices rather high.
