Hotel Meiners — Restaurant in Hatten

This review covers only the meal experienced, as we did not stay in the hotel accommodation.||||We were advised to get there no later than 11.00 if we wanted to experience the breakfast, followed later by lunch. This was good advice, as all five rooms were well occupied and busy with diners when we arrived. We were offered a Sekt prior to being seated.||||We had booked a table for five, but on arrival it soon became apparent that whoever had taken our booking had put us down as a table for three. This was a problem because the place was so busy, so we were accommodated on a table that really only was for four people.||||Booking problem aside, we settled down to enjoy what was to follow; a really pleasurable eating experience. Word of advice, forego any breakfast prior to arrival, there is just so much to choose and enjoy from the main table. The staff are polite and vigilant; in both replenishing the food on the long table from which diners select, as well as clearing plates from the diners table that are finished with. If you wanted to go back for a second plate of food or indeed more, this was no problem.||||Breakfast is seamlessly followed by lunch; meat, salmon and an excellent gruenkohl with smoked Kassler and pinkel, an Oldenburg speciality, were available alongside with a good selection of vegetables.||||Then on to the sweet course.......advice here is to leave a little room from the previous courses, otherwise you will miss out on some sumptuous sweet dishes. Possibly the best part of the meal for me.||||When we had finished, all five of us were most content, such quality and quantity of food and drink for under eighteen euro's per head, I would consider excellent value, the likes of which has long since...

Wir haben eine Spargeltour bei Meiners gebucht. Schon die Buchung war ein reines Abenteuer. Selbst nach 3 Anrufen war es dem Chef nicht möglich zurückzurufen um die Details zu klären. Aber wir haben nicht aufgegeben und immer weiter angerufen.

Dann war der Tag endlich da! Schon bei Gang zum Tisch mußten wir am Buffet vorbei. All you can eat Spargel Essen! Sauber mit Fleisch, Lachs, weißem Spargel, grünem Spargel.... Nachtisch usw.

Doch dann kamen wir näher... Naja, probieren kann man ja. Aber was sind das für Saucen? Wasist das für Fleisch? Und warum hat der Spargel schwarze Spitzen?

Schnell wurde klar, Pommes und Hähnchen, wie zuvor gedacht, für die Kleinen gab es nicht. Auf Nachfrage, ob man das bestellen konnte gab es ein zurückhaltenes Lächeln und dann ein ja, ich frag mal nach.

In der Zwischenzeit hatten wir die Schlange überwunden und konnten uns dem Essen zuwenden. Aber was passierte konnte keiner glauben. Der Spargel war muffig (war wohl doch keine Erde mehr an den Spitzen), bitter und teilweise hart.

Die lustlosen Saucen konnten diesen Geschmack leider auch nicht überdecken, denn die waren noch schlimmer.

Endlich kam dann auch das Essen für unsere Kleine (4 Jahre), die sich tierisch auf die Pommes mit Hähnchenschnitzel gefreut hat. Allerdings war sie nach 2 Bissen damit auch schon durch. Schnell wurde klar, warum das Essen so lange gebraucht hat. Es dauert schließlich, bis man ein fertig Schnitzel in der Fritöse so richtig verbrannt hat. Die Pommes schmeckten wie der Rest, einfach nur muffig.

Selbstverständlich ließen wir uns nicht nehmen mit dem Chef zu sprechen. Der schaffte es tatsächlich noch das Essen zu übertreffen. Unsere Meinung interessiert ihn nicht, schließlich sind alle anderen ja zufrieden. Wir ließen also unser Essen zurückgehen und dorten dann 52 EUR für 4 Getränke bezahlen. So macht Essen gehen richtig Spass - Meiners,...
