Ayers Rock — Restaurant in Dresden

We had a great time here, with a couple caveats. As we walked up, we were.. greeted? by the rude waiter that everyone mentions in the reviews. I don’t think greeted is the right word, and my dining partner nearly walked off right then, but I was ready (from having read the reviews) and just chuckled at his rudeness. I think it may be an act, as I can’t imagine someone that brusque and rude actually choosing to wait tables at a tourist trap, but your mileage may vary.

We went right over to the other waiters and spoke to Madeline, who ended up being our server for the evening. She was positively charming and a complete delight. Her service was definitley the highlight of the meal.

We both ordered the water buffalo burger, and I would encourage anyone dining here to get something else. Water buffalo is generally lean, and that made the patty a bit dry, which is why the drown it in sauce. I’ve had much better burgers, but at least the sweet potato fries were spot on.

I had a tall weissbier and my partner had the house red beer. We each like the other’s beer more than our own order, so we swapped, and had a great time of it.

All in all, it’s what you would expect. A touristy place with a few gimmicks on the menu and a super deep drink list, in a beautiful location, with a cool atmosphere. You’re at a place that has kangaroo, ostrich, and crocodile on the menu in the heart of the most-visited tourist district in the whole country. Don’t take yourself too seriously, down a beer or two and...

The service personnel was extremely rude. I came with a four-year-old child and relatives. Our mood and impressions of the beautiful Dresden were destroyed after visiting this restaurant. Two very young staff members, who were probably local (male and female), kept telling me in an imperative tone what my child should not do in their restaurant as if we came to a police station, not a restaurant. For example, they insisted on my child's removing her shoes while sitting on their filthy chairs. Next, they prohibited her from playing on the floor. After the third remark, I told them to shut up, after which the administration sent us a non-local (Turkish or Arab) servant, who was probably the only polite and friendly person among the staff. I gave him a tip to acknowledge his friendliness. Very unusual extreme lack of service culture in the middle...

The food is very tasty, the staff is friendly, except for one Russian-speaking waiter. First of all, he was incredibly arrogant with us. When he put the plate on the table, I wanted to move it a little bit, and he psychologically took it away. He was very rude and responded to us, even though we were just talking to him in a friendly manner. At the end of the evening, he threw his wallet on the table and threw the rest of the money on the table. He threatened our friend that he would "get his way". When we asked him to call the administrator, he refused and said that everything would be handed over to him, but we are sure that this is not true. He refused to give his name and began to threaten us. We ask U to pay attention to this and...
