"We were looking forward to enjoying a special meal in this restaurant, and had built up high expectations, which were sadly not met.The location is unquestionably stunning, and the view from the terrace is outstanding. However, not all tables really enjoy the view, and we were located at the back, where it was not possible to really enjoy the location. It would be worth booking a table next to the window if you do wish to enjoy the view. Service was friendly but very slow. The restaurant was not particularly busy when we were there, but we still had to wait for about half an hour to get our drinks, which were nothing complicated. Food also took its time to arrive and our main courses arrived a few minutes after each other. There were only two of us, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect the meals to arrive together. The restaurant operates a set three course menu, with a choice of main courses. Starters were a selection of tapas, presented on a tray and of which we could select three or so. The little dishes were tasty but nothing spectacular, but the off-putting thing was the idea that a number of the dishes had probably been presented a good few times to diners before us. Our main courses were well prepared and presented an interesting combination of flavours. Pudding was however disappointing - there were lots of elements on the plate, some of which were not well prepared, and which did not seem to combine with each other in any successful way.Overall we left with a sense of disappointment. Given the price, location and reputation, we expected more. There are many other places in thus city where you can eat better and truly enjoy your meal."

"After minutes of being brushed off and completely ignored, we were able to receive menus and after several more minutes, order. The Italian server spoke little German and no English. I don't know any Italian. In German, I ordered for us, one serving of...bruschetta, two bowls of Minestrone soup and two glasses of red wine. The server tried forcing two orders of bruschetta on us, but finally said we could order only one—though he looked angry. We received our wine. Once our food arrived, which was two bowls of creamy pumpkin soup instead of Minestrone (and I can't eat dairy), we did not have spoons. After several minutes the server brought us spoons. While reaching across the table to give me a spoon, the server's hand knocked over my mom's glass of red wine and spilled the glass over our shopping bags and my Patagonia down coat. He stood there, looking mad and not doing a thing about it. We jumped up and tried to wipe off the wine before it soaked in to anything it was covering. The server just stood there with his hands up in the air. I finally said, Can we at least have some towels or napkins? He left and brought back five paper napkins and another glass of red wine. He never apologized to tried to help us. He came back to the table and motioned a mopping gesture. Did he expect us to mop it up?! I really wanted to walk out and probably should have. We finished our bruschetta and wine and I left most of my soup (which was bland and lukewarm). My mom waved him over to ask about my ruined coat. He brought the check. I asked why we had to pay for everything when he spilled red wine all over my coat. He motioned, and I guess said in Italian, that he did not do it—that it was our fault and he only charged us for two glasses of wine and not three. I asked to speak to the manager or boss. He brought someone over who said we had to pay for the food but they would pay for dry cleaning of my coat when I bring in the receipt. The manager gave my his card. I highly doubt they will live up to their promise, but I have to try. My coat smells like cheap, stale wine. The food is not good, the service is terrible. Do yourself a favor and eat ANYWHERE but this restaurant."

"Vergangene Woche war ich im Restaurant L'Acento in der Kölner Innenstadt essen. Das Restaurant befindet sich praktisch direkt gegenüber vom Agrippabad, ist doch von außen ziemlich unscheinbar. Von außen betrachtet , würde ich eigentlich nicht in das Restaurant gehen wollen, denn es sieht einfach uninteressant aus.Als wir dort ankamen, befand sich im Eingang ein Schild, welches darauf hinwies, dass die Gäste doch bitte zur Terrasse kommen mögen. Die Terrasse ist wie ein kleiner Innenhof, welcher wirklich wie in einem italienischen Landhaus gestaltet ist. Das Ambiente ist schön, warme Farben, man fühlt sich wohl.Die Speisekarte scheint regelmäßig zu wechseln. So gibt es nur eine Tageskarte, welche jeweils etwa 4 Vorspeisen, Pastagerichte, Fleisch & Fischgerichte anbietet. Ich bestellte zusammen mit meiner Begleitung jeweils eine Vorspeise, ein Pastagericht, und eine Dessertspeise. Als Vorspeise nahmen wir einmal Rindercarpaccio mit Trüffelvinaigrette, sowie Honigmelone mit Parmaschinken. Beides jeweils 16 €. Ganz schön teuer für eine Vorspeise. Danach gab es einmal Tagliatelle mit Steinpilzen, zur Saison also passend, und Orecchiette mit italienischer Salsiccia, beides ebenfalls 16 €. Auch für Pastagerichte nicht unbedingt billig aber vom Preis schon eher angemessen als die Vorspeisen. Die Pastagerichte waren wirklich gut, meine Orecchiette schwammen mir allerdings in zu viel Fett.Was die anderen Hauptspeisen, sprich Fleisch und Fisch betrifft, so wurde keines der Hauptgerichte für, sagen wir, unter 25 € angeboten. Ob Beilagen dabei waren, weiß ich nicht. Am Nebentisch bestellte einer ein Thunfischsteak, wenn ich mich recht entsinne, war der Preis auf der Karte für dieses Thunfischsteak bei 34 €. Da staunt man nicht schlecht.Hübsch gemacht war die Dessertsuswahl. Anstatt einer üblichen Dessertkarte, brachte das Personal einen Wunschbaum , auf den Zettelchen stand drauf, welche Desserts ist gab, jedoch ohne Preise. Wir bestellten zwei verschiedene Parfaits, die geschmacklich wirklich super waren. Als Getränk eine Flasche Wasser und jeweils ein Gläschen Weißwein. Am Ende landeten wir für zwei Personen bei rund 110 €. Ziemlich teuer , auch wenn die Qualität soweit gut war aber trotzdem war der Preis in unseren Augen überzogen, das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt nicht wirklich. Ob ich jetzt noch mal dieses Restaurant besuchen würde, ich weiß es nicht."
