Restaurant Steak-House Holzfäller — Restaurant in Frankfurt (Oder)

Visited here for our daughter's birthday. We reserved a seat so had no issues when we turned up. The staff were polite and efficient, they also put up with our not very great German with a smile, which was very sweet of them.

We all chose something different - I had game with sprouts and potato, our daughter had roasted pheasant with tiny roast potatoes and mushrooms and my husband had roast boar with mash and deep fried mushrooms. Each plate came with a dipping sauce, a small serving of sprouted greens and a rich gravy. We all drank still water which came in wine glasses with a slice of lemon.

We all had relatively the same experience - the meat was beautifully cooked, tender and juicy. The potatoes were well cooked in their various forms but my husband found his mash was saturated with cheese and it was too rich for him. The rest of the food was perfectly cooked, no complaints. The main issue we had was the size of the plates, which were extremely large and far too big for any of us to finish.

The other biggest issue we had was the temperature - the restaurant is extremely hot and by the time we left we were all red faced and feeling a little queasy. The winter air outside and the walk home helped even things out but it made dining quite uncomfortable as we got hotter and hotter throughout the meal.

Price wise, it can get a little expensive but the restaurant serves a lot of niche meats (including kangaroo!). Our 3 meals plus 2x 500ml still water came to 93 Euro in total. However, I feel it's worth the price given the quality of food and the skill required to accurately cook some of the meat dishes.

Overall a really lovely place to eat, the atmosphere inside was calm and a little noisy but not enough to have issues hearing the people at your own table. Sadly there was no music, which I feel would add a nice touch to the experience (even if it's just a low jazz in the background). Extremely satisfied with the food and service but I'm not sure if I could comfortably eat here again with the heat and the size of the meals, as I'd never be able to...

I have seen by Google that this place close at 23.00 and the feedbacks were good. So, I just was there a few minutes ago. A blond woman just stopped me at the entrance saying something wich i really didn't get. I said in English that I would have like to eat something, but she said "closed" in German, while she were carrying a lot of food to the tables. I tryed to said in German that something very small was also ok for me. But she nearly didn't look at me, and in a very rude way she replied me "closed!". It was 21.20... I was very very shoked by this treatment. That is a pity, because the feedbacks were good, I wanted to try German food... but I would never again be treated like that,...

The steaks that I had here were the best that I've had in Germany. Granted, that is a big qualification. The cut of meat was fine, and the steaks were cooked properly (medium rare for one steak and medium for the other, just as ordered). I'm not sure what the previous reviewer is talking about when he/she says the steaks are horribly cooked. The sides were filling but fine. I tried a side of chanertelle mushrooms, which were on the specials menu, but they were too salty. FYI, the "Lady Steak" meal is still quite a...
