A wonderful evening. Very friendly staff and fantastic food. It was my husband's birthday and the restaurant surprised us with a cake with table fireworks. A highly recommended restaurant.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner here. Though everything was very good, my favorite bites were the smoked salmon appetizer and the Kaissrschmarrn dessert.

The high points of our dinner meal at Blaue Gans were both of our main dishes, the boiled beef (a classic dish) and the pumpkin risotto were done very well! This point is why it’s unfortunate that both the service we received was poor. The young lady attending to us decided to check on us one time after we had finished our meal, thankfully we didn’t need anything in the interim.  When we asked to pay the bill, we pointed out that they didn’t include two of our pre-dinner cocktails at the bar.  This is important because I’d like to point out, that we don’t care about spending money for things we eat and drink.  My point of contention is the “gedeck” that was charged for 5 Euro per person, and when I asked what this was the young lady explained that it was the bread and olive oil on the table.  We sent the bread away after eating on piece, but my issue was when she explained that throughout the country is is “completely normal” for the Gedeck to be a required charge.  We just finished two weeks of travel through Germany and Austria and gedeck was never a required charge on any meal bill we had.  So, on principle, because at that point she became argumentative…I asked that we be charged only for one person (to account for the one piece of bread I ate), which she eventually conceded, angrily.

TLDR: Don’t lie to your customer and say it’s normal to have a charge everywhere in your country where it clearly isn’t.  We don’t mind paying for anything we eat, drink and enjoy.  This interaction ruined our experience at Blaue Gans.  Clearly the service needs to be remediated and reminded that arguing with (even an American) customer, isn’t advised.

Great Negroni selection, I would recommend the Oriental and Boulevardier ones.
