Not the nicest day to enjoy the terrace but nonetheless, it was nice to be there right on the lake. That is ..... until the food arrived. Usually Swiss food distinguishes itself by a solid executation of reasonable quality ingredients - completely serviceable but doesnt knock your socks off. Once you know Swiss prices, it takes a lot to shock, and at this place it did - not so much the price, but what was delivered for it. Take my perch dish at about 36 francs with about 6 measly small fish pieces, completely overcooked (or dried out for hanging around too long in the kitchen) - even the piece of lemon was dried out (it fell apart when I tried to squeeze it.) There was a sizable portion of french fries on it for which you cannot justify the better part of 36 francs. My husband took an apero platter, expecting a sizable portion for 25 francs - but it was really only suitable for apero and then the cheese had the texture and taste of the rinds which are normally cut off and thrown away. This we did complain about and asked for it to be changed - it came back with some other cheese and still the stale chunks, claiming that this was a local speciality Sbrinz and it was supposed to be like that. After living in Switzerland and enjoying much cheese in the region for 4 years, we do know a good cheese from a bad one. In all fairness, our dining companions steak in herb butter looked fantastic and was much enjoyed, but the steak was very measly at the 58 franc price tag. The girl who took our order was very nice and solicitous; but there was not enough of her and too many guests for the service to be described as flowing.In the end, this is just a shame. For a location this gorgeous, we are prepared to pay the price but not to be taken advantage of, which is what happened today. Next time we will bring our own sausages, grill them by the water in the woods just behind, and then go and take a coffee on the way home.
We fell in love with the location of Hotel Baumgarten and the relaxing atmosphere far away from any sign of globalisation.There is a cetain nostalgic feel to the place and the hotel has obviously not been renovated in a very long time so it retains many signs of years ago . My husband spent a night there on a bike tour recently and on this night, there was a Caribbean event . We decided to return as a couple for the next Caribbean night and the setting was perfect , the weather held up and all in all , it was a wonderful experience to be able to dance on the patio with the lights from all the neighbouring villages shining out on the lake .We ate dinner under a vine covered pergola which also gives the hotel a Mediterranean ambiance .We found the service personel very attentive and we could sit right next to the water and either watch the dancing or take part ourselves..Staying at the hotel is fine if you don't expect the latest comforts ; the rooms are basically furnished and showers are on the same floor .I was incredibly happy with our stay and loved the fact that we got up in the morning and went straight into the lake for a swim .other peole staying there were already in the water ready for some scuba diving activities which seem rather popular in this area .
Lunch for three and we all were quite happy. My veal liver came over well and that is good for a specialty like that. My friens Felchen and Salat were frssh and were attractive to the eye. Service was friendlich, a little salopp. Our table right on the lake over the water under some trees- could not better. Inside on the way to the restlooms the age is sure showing and lots of work to be done,if the place can create the revenue to afford it. It has potential. Good summer stop on lake Zug.
This is one of the nicest restaurants on a Swiss lake, come and enjoy the absolute skills of Ueli Burger, the charming waiter. He welcomed me in a top class way.My sister joined with her grandchild and we had the poached fresh Forelle Fish, an absolute delight.The price was very decent compared to other classy restaurants and the restaurant was full all afternoon on a weekday.Keep the good work up and we'll definitely come again.Thank you!Mariana Amar
