"This very smart and attractive restaurant has an unusual outside seating area. On the main road side is a large stone picture frame water feature with many water spouts pouring down like a waterfall. The inside is very attractive and looks elegant and comfortable. My dining partner and I sat outside. She was not very hungry so has a wild leaf salad with a raspberry dressing. The dressing tasted great, the wild leaf salad & herb leaves were a little too bitter for her. I had a dish of tagliatelle with chanterelle mushrooms, garlic, white wine, cherry tomatoes and spring onion. The sauce was a little too runny but the flavours and al dente mushrooms tasted very good. My house chardonnay was also crisp with a light touch of fruit. Their 'fresh' fish dishes at over EUR 30 are top of the range prices more in common with Frankfurt. I would however go there again."

"Visited this Restuarant the Saturday before and the aroma voming out of the restaurant was exquisite. It was fully booked so we tried again on a week day. Great ambience. Well staffed, though staff not attentive. The Shiraz tea was a hit, though a little...too sweet. If you hsve a sweet tooth, this is a must try. Our meals was disappointing. We had 4 different dishes. Doubt the meals were cooked on the day. Food Dill and saffron rice and the various sauces were cold. We mentioned this and were told it was warm. Not much to remedy the situation. Yes, energy prices are crazy, but the meals were not cheap. Fortunately, we had 2, 2 for 1 vouchers. They offered us 1 back. We declined. Cant recommend this restaurant unless the love and pride that was once present returns. It could have been excellent back in the day. But no longer. A real shame!"

"We have often eaten gluten free in the restaurant here (pizza and pasta) or ordered pizza to pick up. The taste was always very good. As the restaurant is always very busy, it is advisable to reserve a table. The service is sometimes a bit overwhelmed due to the many guests. Unfortunately, the gluten free pizza, which is available for an extra charge, has become much smaller! The "size" is more like an appetiser, as even our 13 year old daughter, who eats like a sparrow, can't get enough. Wir haben hier schon häufiger glutenfrei im Restaurant gegessen (Pizza und Pasta) oder Pizza zum Abholen bestellt. Geschmacklich war alles immer sehr gut. Da im Restaurant immer sehr viel los ist, empfiehlt es sich einen Tisch zu reservieren. Der Service ist manchmal aufgrund der vielen Gäste etwas überfordert. Leider ist die gegen Aufpreis erhältliche glutenfreie Pizza deutlich kleiner geworden! Kann von der "Größe" eher als Vorspeise gewertet werden, da sogar unsere 13jährige wie ein Spatz essende Tochter davon nicht satt wird"

"The dishes are true works of art, here the eye definitely eats! Once you are finished with the order, you will receive a basket with self-made bread on the table and self-made herbal butter. You feel comfortable here as a guest, the staff is always striving and you feel that as a guest. The liquor on the house never missed! 5 earned stars"

"Visited Hacienda last night with 6 work colleagues for dinner. We were a blend of North American based and France based people who were excited not to eat German food again. The restaurant was a good size, however lacked air conditioning or any fans, which made dinner a little uncomfortable.The food itself was good. I wouldn't say it was authentic Mexican but it was tasty. The guacamole was great and so were the chips. Overall the food was well priced and plentiful. We order lots of drinks and they were relatively good too.My only negative comment would be the service. We had a total of three people waiting in us. The younger server was visably annoyed with having to wait on Americans and snorted when one asked for ice. Also laughed at use when we said "danke", which I thought was not necessary. The woman waiter was not as rude but definitely not friendly either. The older man, who seemed to be the manager, was pleasant and I would have rather dealt with him the whole time."
