"Together with my sister we invited our mother to dinner here in Bad Kreuznach to the Hotel Restaurant Mühlentor. I haven't been there for a long time, but I've always been satisfied. My sister suggested it this time, as there should definitely be asparagus. I took over the reservation, which is processed via an online portal. The answer came at least very fast, and on the day after the visit I was also invited to a small survey for satisfaction. The three minutes I sacrificed... We stayed this Thursday evening early, we had parked on the Jahnhalle, walking to the restaurant were then good ten minutes. A short quarter of an hour before the time, we are in the restaurant, which is just 100 metres from the Kornmarkt, quite centrally located in the city. 100 m in the other direction there is also a large car park in which you always get space for the car park... From the outside, the building still looks very rustic and rustic. Many sayings are written to the façade, even painted vines decorate the front. Behind the house, in a small farm you can eat outside in the warm season, but I was never there. So let's get in the good room, I'm on my way. The first room, the bigger one, was like I remembered him. Spacious space, the wide bar, which is also about the corner, and a septare in the rear left corner. We were immediately noticed and after my notice of my reservation we were also taken around the corner. In the ancillary room over my last visit for more than four years... a bit changed. The tables are no longer so plentiful and close together. I value positively, since it was really very tight before and you sat almost close to the table neighbor. This time clearly better. The rear half of this room is locked with a curtain and is probably only released for breakfast. So we are accompanied by the friendly lady to the table, and the cards are handed to us. We are also asked for an aperitif desire and for a bottle of water. I quickly decide for a round of wine cult. The two ladies agree and we look into the cards. It can also be seen outside in extracts and, of course, can also be downloaded in the web as PDF. As hoped, Spargel is the big topic right now. Only with potatoes or with various “additions” of meat and fish can be expanded. Also there is always a “Mühlentor Menu” about 50€ for four courses with optional matching wine tasting 4 x 0.1 litre. So, while we were thinking about our possible food, the service lady served us the three winemakers Pinot Brut, Weingut Klostermühle Odernheim 5,40€ 0.1 . I know this champagne very well, I also have regularly in my stock and is just incredibly good at this price! The ordered bottle of water Gerolsteiner Medium – 5,50€ 0,75 also came and was presented to us at least at the beginning. Later we took over the post-casting ourselves. We then also gave up our order and talked or looked around. At the early evening some guests were present. In the main room around the 15 where there are also some hotel guests, in our next room except us another ten more. These include three Asian-looking women, but who were in English. Our service was also able to serve with perfect English and the dishes explain this only as an info on the edge. A young gentleman still in training brought us as a small appetite exciter two varieties of bread, where the darker tasted better than the simple, bright baguette, a slice of butter, unfortunately much too cold and therefore hardly caressable, some spundekäs a regional fresh cheese preparation with peppers and a few olives. Served in an elongated porcelain bowl. Let's say, it didn't cost anything extra... The tables simply but chicly covered. A large heavy white tablecloth, on it large fabric napkins in the napkin ring, a small pot plant and two candles in large glass vase. The existing cutlery was then later extended by a spoon, as an appetizer we chose all three the foamed Ingelheimer asparagus soup with Räucherlachs Tatar 6,90 € asparagus soup with smoked salmon Three large deep plates with a wide edge came to the table at the same time. The soup was actually foamy, in the middle placed the Tatar from the smoked salmon. A little kebel was at the fish on top. Unfortunately, the soup could only inspire me at the beginning. The first spoon was really great. Perfect consistency, creamy, foamy and incredibly intense to taste asparagus. But with each other spoon the soup became sweeter and more and more I tasted a vanilla tone. In the end, I was as if I had vanilla sauce in my plate. Very strange. The salmon stick is fine for itself, with the soup in my opinion also somewhat unhappy. I think cold smoked salmon must not get warm, otherwise it will be nice... My mother also found that the soup was a little too sweet, and when it was asked when it was cleared, and I was accused of doing so only unbelievingly. The only weakness of the service this evening... For dinner I ordered a semi-dry Riesling winery Marx Windesheim, Nahe – 2.80€ 0.1 . Fruity, spattery with pleasant residual sweets and fine mineral notes. Among the main foods my sister and I approved a rosé, also half-dry and also from the winery Marx. for me 0.1 to 2,80€, my sister 0.2 to 4,50€ It was nicely creamy, round and should be well tolerated with asparagus and creamy sauces. In general, I find the wine card very appealing, a good selection of open wines and, of course, of various bottles. Mainly Nahewinzer are offered Schweinhardt, Marx, Korrell, Tesch, Schneider, Closheim, Hees, Hexamer and a Rheinhessian Winzer Weitzel Ingelheim . The main courses: serving bar-saving gel with new potatoes and favorite sauce 16.90€ You can choose among four “chard sauces”. Drained butter, sauce bearnaise, sauce Hollandaise or Frankfurt green sauce. My sister chose Bearnaise, my mother's green from Frankfurt. Both got a generous portion perfectly gegarten Ingelheimer Spargel. The sauces were also served separately, just like the potatoes swung with rosemary. The alone was very tasty, both were very satisfied. As supplements it was possible to order extra, both had decided on something fleshy. Once a Rumpsteak 18,50€ bar-saving gel with Rumpsteak and once a Viennese calfs carving 13,90€ bar-saving gel with Wiener Schnitzel Here too the portions, from preparation without reason to complain. The respective asparagus dishes were garned with freshly cut chives. Both ladies were extremely satisfied with portion and performance. Only the price design led to a short discussion at our table... Zander fried on the skin with glazed asparagus tips and Morchel noodles 19,90€ Zander with glazed asparagus tips and Morchel noodles I was looking for fish and if there's Zander in a place of this kind, I'll take it blind. And I wasn't disappointed. Two large pieces, juicy zander fillet, which was perfectly crispy and very, very fine. I would have liked to. The Morchel noodles were somewhat more reserved, very creamy the sauce, unfortunately only slightly tasting after the noble mushroom. The homemade noodles, on the other hand, are perfect again. To this end, the tips of green and white asparagus were swung in butter, with tips undercut, there were still two thirds of a whole rod. I was completely satisfied with my choice, the wine also fits well. You're welcome. 4,5* We had no appetite for a dessert. We drank our drinks, ordered the invoice and then paid by card. After a little more than 90 minutes, we left the restaurant Mühlentor quite happy. On the way to the car we had to take a rest in the near wine Vinothek. There we left the beautiful evening with a glass of good near wine. Conclusion: The Hotel Restaurant Mühlentor is still a reliable and highly recommended address for good to very good regional cuisine. Except for a couple of small things and the soup that has been unhappy in my eyes, I've always had perfect soups there to convince the food. Therefore 4* if the soup fits again is more in it. The possibility to go there again is better for us now, as well as all year there are various motto menus that promise a lot of variety from the kitchen. The service this evening was primarily reserved because when you needed it and are competent to explain and act. The Gargrad was also asked to order the steak. Dealing with my little soup criticism was something “unhappy”. Still 4* On cleanliness and ambience I can't criticize anything great. Spatial feeling and space has improved significantly, the ambience is harmonious and comfortable, cleanliness without a tadel, even in the toilets everything is best. 4,5* each The PLV just in the frame. Spargel is expensive, especially when it is locally stabbed and delivered. This offered here is just 15 km away. I can live with the price. The wine prices are also within the framework, even if there are exceptions here and there. 4* 4.5 – if there is absolutely 1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it results again, 4 – happy again, 5 – definitely back to kitchen trip"
