Zum See Bistro — Restaurant in Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Titisee-Neustadt

Honestly was not sure what to expect because Titisee is pretty touristy and all the restaurants in the area are a toss-up. But I saw Schnitzel on the menu here so we gave it a shot. We got a table quickly, but I'd recommend making a reservation if you're visiting on a summer weekend as it gets crowded. The service was really friendly and patient even with the tourists who didn't speak German. I got the Schnitzel on Spätzle and my date got a Flammkuchen with a Pfifferling soup on the side. The Schnitzel, while not traditional, was delectable. Paired with the cheesy spätzle it sat atop -- chef's kiss. My date also enjoyed her Flammkuchen, which I ate the last couple of slices of and also liked. We decided not to get dessert here because there were a lot of other places to try but I did see they had a few options on the menu.

Definitely recommend this place over others in the area, especially...

Almost as bad as could be. Over 1 hour wait between ordering and food arriving. No real apology given either, just that the Kitchen had some kind of riot??. Even worst we ordered a side salad to eat with our meal which arrived after 20mins but by the time our food arrived that was gone. Being outside we was almost too cold to eat when the food did arrive. To add more insult, another side salad was brought out with our meal, but seeing the empty salad bowl that was quickly taken away from us. The meals were OK, but nothing amazing even after the wait. Even after this terrible service no apology, no extra drink etc to make up for the wait, and still demanded full price. No one around us was happy at all. Extremely disappointed, and a very black mark on our trip. Will never be returning and would like a manager to acknowledge this was not good...

We initially stopped here just looking for a quick bite, with our choice driven mainly by its convenient location and not expecting much else. However, what a pleasant surprise we encountered! The tarte flambée, a less commonly found local specialty, was outstanding in both preparation and presentation. The croquettes accompanied by chanterelle mushrooms were not only visually appealing but also a treat for the taste buds. The meat-loaf and potato salad exceeded our expectations as well, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. Zum See Bistro truly delivered much more than we anticipated, turning a simple snack into a...
