Our visit to Alberts Schloss German Pub left a very mixed impression.

We chose this venue to celebrate a friend's birthday on a quiet Tuesday, which suited our preferences. However, confusion arose when we were instructed to order drinks at the bar, yet no staff were present at the bar. After a 5-minute search, we sought out a waiter to place our drink order, which included 2 glasses wine and a jug of water without ice.

Even though we ordered at the bar, we were informed that the drink charges would be added to our bill, leaving us puzzled about the purpose of the bar order. This initial confusion set the tone for what followed.

The wine glasses arrived very quickly but water was nowhere to be seen. 10 minutes later I went to look for the waiter and ordered the water again - jug of water without ice, the waiter assured me that the water is on the way.

5 minutes later - still no water. I went to look for the waiter again and I could not find him anywhere. The place was nearly empty so this was very strange. At this point 2 people sat at the table looked at me and asked if they could help me. I said, yes I just want some water. Turns out they were staff or managers, but at least the water finally came - with ice... At this point I could not care less about the ice, I just wanted some water.

During the whole water fiasco we ordered some food - Chicken Schnitzel and a Burger. The water arrived at the same time as food. Unfortunately the food was very bland and I was feeling unwell for 2 days after having the Chicken Schnitzel. To make the matters worse there was a woman with 2 toddlers who were screaming at the top of their lungs, the mother wasn't even watching them, one of the kids was 15m from her rolling on the floor and screaming whilst she was having a drink at her table. This is not a kids will be kids situation, it was unbearable for everyone there. Initially we intended to spend a few hours there and I nearly went for a bottle of wine, but I am glad that we didn't as I could not wait to leave.

While the interior and initial expectations were promising, our overall experience fell short. The intention to spend a leisurely few hours turned into a hasty exit

In conclusion, Alberts Schloss German Pub has potential, but improvements are needed to ensure smoother service, better food quality, and a more pleasant atmosphere for all. At this point, I would consider revisiting for the ambiance but would hesitate to dine there again due to lingering concerns about the food quality.
