"The restaurant/hotel is up on a hill with a lovely view of the vineyards below, weil am Rhein and Basel. This looked like the perfect place for a family lunch on a sunny summer day. Unfortunately we could not enjoy it as much as we...would have liked because of the extremely unfriendly waitress. She came over to ask what we wanted to drink, and after literally seconds where our children could not decide what to take she made an annoyed face and left saying she would come back later. After a while she came back and we ordered. She looked totally bored, I can't remember exactly, I probably asked her to repeat what she had jotted down and she answered annoyed...At that point my husband and I were seriously thinking we should up and go, but the kids were starving so we stayed. We all received our plate at a different time. The food itself was ok. Two of us had schnitzel with potato salad. The schnitzel was a bit greasy but the salad good. I had a huge omelette with green salad...I found it annoying though that the omelette had ham in it and nobody had mentioned it (it just said omelette on the menu), as I prefer vegetarian food. Finally we decided not to take desert and ask for the bill. At this point there was a short moment of confusion as we discovered they did not take cards, only cash. And of course the lady was not happy when I offered to give her some swiss francs instead of euro. Eventually I found all the money we needed in Euro, and she was of course disappointed we didn't leave her a cent of tip. Sorry, this is not how you behave with customers in a restaurant, or with anybody for that matter! To summarize: the spot is beautiful, food is average, we won't go back as we don't enjoy being treated this way."
