Ran into this place before the tourist groups got in. Though there were some tourist groups, it appeared that they were in quite some manner and behaving politely.
I thought the food might be quite touristic, but pork chop, coleslaw and the pork knuckle were surprisingly good, especially the pork knuckle which was shimmered in dark beer (very soft and aromatic inside and the grease getting lighter) and then deep fried with the skin being a bit crispy. The side potato salad was awesome that it was in nice sour cream mayo and chopped chive. The coleslaw was very nice too with the dressing just right, not overwhelming creamy, sour, nor sweet. I thought about coming back to this place for another meal.
When I got the bill, the waitress expressly mentioned how much tipping I would like to pay them. At first I found it a bit odd but it seemed like many other Zurich restaurants are having this reminder. Also,, they have extra-charge on bread, ketchup...etc. Most dishes were at the range from US$30-50 in many restaurants. So charging extra on some small items seem to be a bit unreasonable. When those dishes were already a bit too high, why not adding it up with 5-10% more as it made no difference for US$30 and US$33. At least the guests would find those bread and ketchup "complimentary". Really ironic when we consider ketchup as complimentary at this point.
