"We were staying at the Hotel and after a long day of driving we didn't want to drive any further. Reviews indicated the menu consisted of mainly game meats, and being from California we have no game, worse case we would eat salad! There was only 1 occupied table in the restaurant when we arrived, but it was early and the day before New Years Eve. The restaurant has a new menu, and according to the waiter it hadn't been converted to English yet, so the "Master Chef" came out to go over the menu. I am not sure if he was actually the Chef, as he was wearing a nice dress shift and slacks. He went over each of the items on the menu. When he reached the venison, I suggested he skip the description as I'd had venison as a child and found it to be gamey. He stated they buy young choice venison and it tasted better than their steaks. Based on his recommendation, we decided to order the venison and the larger Pepper Steak and share the meals between the 3 of us. We were brought fresh bread with a delicious spread--strangely enough they took the unfinished bread before the main course was brought out-German custom?? The venison had a lovely sauce with mushrooms, sauted cherries on the side, and broccoli with slivered nuts. Even my 14 year old daughter agreed the venison was to die for! The sauce and the cherries were a perfect accompaniment to the meat. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked. It was served with baked dollops of mashed potatos and green beans. When the waiter brought the food, my husband commented quietly to me he wished he'd ordered red cabbage since it was our last night of vacation. The waiter overhead the comment and brought him a side dish, no charge! We looked at the Dessert Menu and decided the choices were not to our taste. When we told the waiter we weren't interested in dessert he brought a menu with ice cream choices. A scoop was only 1,10 Euros. We couldn't resist--and it was the perfect ending to an incredible meal! Our bill was approximately 45 Euros--excellent for the caliber of meal we enjoyed."

Koblenz, at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle, offers historic charm, with landmarks like Deutsches Eck, and local specialties such as Sauerbraten and Reibekuchen.
