"Dined here on the excuse me for my Lack of Christmas spirit but this was a woeful experience. Second time I’ve dined her (first time years ago) and it seems that the culture has change in both front and back of house. The...welcome was disjointed with no one having an idea what was really going on. We were placed on a table suitable for pax when there was only three of us. On addition the table was still full of dirty glassware and cutlery. Order was taken promptly however the motivation behind this was to get us in and get us out as it was clear we were the last check on order. Myself and mother in law ordered the onion soup (French onion soup). It’s lacked depth, and no form of alcohol passed through the stock there was a lot of residual stock transpiring through the soup, concluding that this was a synthetic stock. The crouton was minimal with very little cheese. Once cleared minutes later our steaks arrived. We ordered two fillets and one rib eye. Both fillets were very and look warm in the middle. It seems that the cook only cooked the fillets on the grill and did not pass/finished the fillets in the oven to get the appropriate temperature. To be fair to the kitchen my ribeye was cooked perfectly to medium rare and with how thick it was the fat was perfectly rendered. But my wife and mother’s fillets were still alive which again leads me to believe the the kitchen wanted to pushed these steaks through to start to enjoy there festive period. This theory was backed up when my wife who is German heard the Chef commenting to the table behind us that he was “happy to be getting out of here” on addition to this is was quite obvious by his tone and volume that he had a skinful to drink at the Yale end of the service (this could also explain poor execution of the steaks). Overall we ended up paying euros (would have been if it wasn’t for my wife’s persistence) for dishes with only one meriting the value for what it was. This venue has lost its soul and three customers. As I spent years in a Michelin background I am very sympathetic to service or food going wrong but it was crystal clear that we were a total inconvenience to the kitchen and this was reflected in the dishes which were presented."

"We've been living in Amberg for months and just now discovered this place; so happy we did. We walked past it a couple times before COVID, but there was never anyone outside probably too chilly at that time. On a friend's recommendation we decided...to try it and we loved it! I saw someone else's post that the staff does not speak any English; we didn't find that to be true! They are probably as good at speaking English as we are at speaking Deutsche, but together it's not difficult to communicate. It's true that there were no menus in English, but easy to translate or interpret. They have a full bar AND THE HAVE REAL ICE! Most European bars and restaurants are very conservative with their ice giving you sometimes ONE ice cube! My request for a liqueur with ice was delivered with crushed ice just like in the states! My husband had a steak that was smothered in crispy onion skins and fries. I had a schnitzel with spaetzle. Both were great, and we found Russwurmhaus to be a bit more pricefriendly than some of our other favorites. We loved their outside seatingpatiobeer garden I kind of hate the term beer garden when they have a full bar and serve much more than beer!. When the sun sets they place bottles with LED lighting on each table to create a candlelight ambiance in this off the beaten path location. It's right on the Vils river and a bit more isolated than many local favorite dining establishments. We did not go inside so I can only review the outside dining experience. The wait staff was extremely accommodating. We have already made reservations to return; it's now a local favorite"
