Gasthaus Zum Ochsen - Weil am Rhein

Unfortunately they can not give this restaurant stars. I ate the worst carving. the grace of aldi. such bad quality has not aldi. € 9.80 without additional cover with a bag saucer and 1/2-seed bread. people don't go there!

The hotel I think is very quaint and stylish and I have seen other reviews stating the staff interaction was below par but for me I found the young woman on reception funny and engaging so I guess we are all different! The rooms are...tastefully decorated to a high standard so make a lovely location for a scenic holiday near to Basel. The hotel has a excellent restaurant which is dedicated to serving good traditional Swiss food but does not cater for individuals who want to just sit and have a chilled beer. I actually used the Pizzeria next door which has a lovely frontage and also was knocking out some good food who were quite glad to serve me. The Hotel provides a lovely continental breakfast with a n amazing array of meats and cheeses as you would expect but also lovely extras so really enjoyable. The hotel is set in a most beautiful village and is close to excellent rail connections. So in closing I would recommend for them to think about a bar but I accept they are foodies clearly. Enjoy Travellers. Bill

We enjoyed a drink on the beautiful terrace of this restaurant. However, the service was terrible: arrogant, lazy and unorganized.

The restaurant/hotel is up on a hill with a lovely view of the vineyards below, weil am Rhein and Basel. This looked like the perfect place for a family lunch on a sunny summer day. Unfortunately we could not enjoy it as much as we...would have liked because of the extremely unfriendly waitress. She came over to ask what we wanted to drink, and after literally seconds where our children could not decide what to take she made an annoyed face and left saying she would come back later. After a while she came back and we ordered. She looked totally bored, I can't remember exactly, I probably asked her to repeat what she had jotted down and she answered annoyed...At that point my husband and I were seriously thinking we should up and go, but the kids were starving so we stayed. We all received our plate at a different time. The food itself was ok. Two of us had schnitzel with potato salad. The schnitzel was a bit greasy but the salad good. I had a huge omelette with green salad...I found it annoying though that the omelette had ham in it and nobody had mentioned it (it just said omelette on the menu), as I prefer vegetarian food. Finally we decided not to take desert and ask for the bill. At this point there was a short moment of confusion as we discovered they did not take cards, only cash. And of course the lady was not happy when I offered to give her some swiss francs instead of euro. Eventually I found all the money we needed in Euro, and she was of course disappointed we didn't leave her a cent of tip. Sorry, this is not how you behave with customers in a restaurant, or with anybody for that matter! To summarize: the spot is beautiful, food is average, we won't go back as we don't enjoy being treated this way.

We previously visited the restaurant about years ago and only did this time because our preferred restaurant in Ötlingen had been closed on this day (Ruhetag). The view from their terrace is spectacular and worth a visit for that and to drink a beer...or glass of wine while enjoying it. Sadly nothing else has changed. Mediocre food at best, very small menu and less than stellar service. All dishes just thrown together. Out of the freezer and into the deep fryer for most items. Service was slow, hectic but civil. My lunch arrived luke warm with a sad salad swimming in some kind of vinegar/oil mess.. My partner had the daily special. Over cooked beef roast, peas and carrots with the peas cooked so long about half were grey and boiled potatoes that must have been cooked a day or two before. Meat and potatoes were covered in a sauce that would rival something out of the pouch from Knorr or Maggi. Beer was nice and cold. The strangers that we shared a table with concurred that the sole reason to visit is for the view. Might be back in another years to check on progress.
