Terrible experience with the disrespectful and discriminatory owner of this establishment. During dinner service, one of my colleagues used the wrong “fork” for their appetizer and got publicly shamed by the owner by doing so in front of the whole table, also refusing to collect the fork. The owner then asked me what I ordered for my dinner. I confirmed with him, and he goes ahead to bring me the wrong dish and tells me thats all they have. Deeply unsatisfied, i did not touch the plate and the owner returned to ask if the food was ok. I explained that this was not the food i ordered and the owner asked the kitchen to bring me 2 pieces of meat to compensate. When bringing the plate to me, the owner went ahead to say: here is your meat, now other customers have to wait for theirs because of you. I personally feel that his behaviour was very inappropriate and was targeting us as we spoke in english but not german.
If there was a zero star, I would give that easily. This was worst experience I ever had walking into a restaurant. We reserved a table on a Saturday night for a special occasion at 8:30 pm after reading the reviews. We arrived 20 minutes late because we had a problem with car tire. Additionally, we couldn’t call and say we will be a bit late because of the restaurants location there was no reception. As soon as we arrived we were verbally attacked by the waitress, in front of all the other guests, who told us that the kitchen was already closed and it was 8:50 pm! After she complaint a lot she told us that she was going to do us a favor and reopen the kitchen, While she gave us the menus she started to complain again why do we reserve a table if we're not going to be on time and that we should not do it again. We decided that we didn't deserve such bad treatment and left. I would recommend that the staff gets some training on how to treat customers. At the end we had a very good diner at the Wirtschaft zum Schöntal, Bauma with amazing food and excellent service skills which is highly recommend.
Absolutely fabulous experience off of the beaten path. The food was amazing, housemate demi-glace, salads and iced tea. Highly recommend.
Excellent and high standard food. Beautiful garden with good atmosphere.
Lovely, great food and views
We went to eat at Sunnebad. I discovered the restaurant on a bike tour. I found it to be friendly and beautifully situated. What spoiled my enjoyment, however, were the right-wing populist tabloids displayed in the entrance area: Weltwoche, Nebelspalter, etc. I'm sorry, but I don't support that. I'll take another look on my next bike tour. If they're gone by then, I'll give Sunnebad a second chance. Now the owner responds by saying that the mainstream media are left-wing populist. He doesn't specify which ones he means. If he's referring to Tagesanzeiger, NZZ, or SRF, then the gulf for a reasonable discussion seems too wide. Generally speaking, I reject media and opinions that promote a divisive, misanthropic, and socially irresponsible stance. Now the owner responds by saying that the mainstream media are left-wing populist. Weltwoche and Nebelspalter represent anti-democratic journalism because: Division: They often employ an "us versus them" mentality, portraying minorities as a threat. Distortion and twisting of facts. Predominantly, unsubstantiated claims are presented as facts, and so-called laws are derived from them. Stirring up emotions and fear, particularly regarding migrants. They strongly appeal to anxieties (e.g., about migration, the decline of values). And, as the Sunnebad innkeeper himself does above, he delegitimizes established institutions such as media companies like Tamedia, NZZ, or SRF. An informed public is the essence of a vibrant democracy. I have nothing against right-wing populist publications being available, but if they are the only ones, then they represent a viewpoint that excludes many people, including myself and my friends and family.
