"We had reserved a table for 5 at 6 pm. I arrived first and was told to pick any table. I sat down and waited for my guests who were a bit delayed. Ten minutes later I was finally approached by the waiter. I wanted to order my drink but she just wanted to know how many guests would join me. I answered and she disappeared without taking my order. A few minutes later another waiter arrived. Again not to take my order but only to ask me to move to a different table. I did and waited again as the waiting staff moved through the restaurant expertly ignoring the guests. Next another waiter came rushing to the table. She hastily placed the plate of complementary peanuts and rolls on the table and turned around before I could say anything. By this time it was 25 past six and I had still not been asked if I wanted a drink. My guests arrived and finally someone took our drinks and food order. When the food arrived my son got the wrong dish. He told her, she took the plate away and one minute later another waitress arrived with the same plate. Again we said this was not what we ordered. She looked at the plate and said: it's almost the same, can't you take this one? As it is his 14th birthday and he didn't want to wait whilst everyone ate he accepted the plate.I had the hamburger and fries. The hamburger was a cheap frozen burger but dry as shoe soles. The fries were brown and totally overcooked (or cooked twice). the only enjoyable thing about the experience was the company. We had fun. When we finished we again struggled to get attention from the waiting staff. She asked if we had enjoyed our meal and I said: well actually no (I had had left half of it) she looked and said: oh and then proceeded to clear the table as if I had said nothing. I was dumbfounded. Stunned at so much disinterest and such horrible service. Only outside did I notice that the meal my son never ordered but was given was far more expensive than his original order and it had been charged in full.I am normally not afraid to speak out but in the face of such rudeness and disinterest I was lost for words. Where do you start? Do I really have to point out that the chips should not be dark brown? Is it not logical that I want to be asked if I want a drink when I arrive? Is it not logical that it feels uncomfortable to be ignored for 20 minutes? Do I need to explain such basics of customer service? The place looks great but is overpriced and not at all good experience."

"Lunch break on the way home from the Netherlands, I streamed through the pedestrian zone of emptiness with a wonderful sunshine. Since I had only got a coffee at the company visited, a feeling of hunger began. In a side street towards water I found this Italian restaurant, which was on several signs with “11 lunches for 7,50 € each”. I entered and was immediately greeted by a young waiter. “A table for a person?” I nodded, and he asked me to follow him. We crossed the whole restaurant and then came to a sun-filled conservatory where he gave me a table in the background, in the shade. The menu was immediately served and the selection was made quickly, I ordered from the lunch card “Rigatoni overbaked, with ham, cream, Bolognese and cheese” (7,50 € and a small Cola light (0,2l for 2,10 €). The drink was quickly brought by a younger service. In the first run it was a big cola, but it was exchanged for my intervention promptly and with excuses for a small glass. There was a basket with still warm bread and butter, pleasant and tasty. During the next waiting period, various other service forces appeared and supplied the three other occupied tables in the conservatory. After some time I was served a small plate with salad, which I had not expected. A small portion of different leaf salads, each with two slices of cucumber and tomato, with a light vinegar oil dressing, was quite refreshing at the comparatively high outside temperatures that are not at all suitable for the season. After the salad there was a small break again, then another operation brought the run-up mould with the noodles, in which the oil between the noodles was still slightly broiled. I started eating cautiously, the noodle mass was really very hot. As expected, the tube noodles were cooked al dente, the mass of Bolognesesauce, ham and cream tasted well, and the cheese pulled long strings – Mozzarella just on winding up. All in all a flawless lunch table, and that for under ten euros including drink, you really can't complain."

"In August 2014 I was already in the Brunnenstraße at noon. I could have come in, had it fit today in winter 2°C, Tea Time in East Frisia. After entering the Café Panischer Blick, everything is full. The friendly service said they wait 5 min, then something will be free again. So we went to the pie tresen to finish the jelly of choice, in the rack various cakes and cakes. My wife took the East Frisian Sahnetorte, I took the Dutch cherry cake. When a table was released in front of the vault at the window, another young woman also came and accepted the drinks. My wife ordered a cup of green tea, I got a glass of East Frisian tea. There was immediately the question from the service, Bünting or Thiele Tee? Bünting Tee comes from emptiness, Thiele Tee from Emden. If you're in emptiness you should drink Bünting tea, I said. Although I like both mixtures very much. A short time later, the two cake pieces and the tea came. In the short waiting period I looked around here in the front area. On the wall above the vault, deserves the certificate from the gourmet, I have to say. It's probably the best café in the city of Empty. In the rooms antique objects, a shop window doll in the old dress, on the walls posters of Audrey Hepburn and heavy wallpapers. Here, the taste of food and beverages perfectly match the ambience. On Sunday you can park nearby for free, in front of the café there are also some parking spaces, but chargeable. So we liked it very well, overall we paid €9.50, so the tip for the nice ladies just fell higher. Lt. My wife was also clean, like the whole café!"
