Fürstenhof Sympathie S - Bad Kreuznach

Sympathy Hotel Fürstenhof We owe a voucher that we have set a foot in this hotel restaurant. I'd never have come to the temptation to eat there. It is a relatively new hotel in Bad Kreuznacher Kurviertel, right next to the Parkhotel. Only a large parking lot separates both buildings. I can't say whether these are paid for guests because we parked otherwise. The access is blocked by a barrier. Over an eternally long red path, later carpet you enter the hotel or the entrance hall. In front of the reception, which is followed by a minibar on the right. To the right it goes to seminar rooms and toilets. After further seminar rooms, the “Speisesaal” comes to the left. I don't want to call restaurant. It looks like a canteen, even with covered tables. So we come to fourth (the donors of our voucher were allowed to come with us at the hotel. Then you'll be there until someone moves. I didn't see a sign to the restaurant. Since no one took us, we tried our luck left. Of course, carpet everywhere. We were right. On the left hand side there are at a certain distance glass showers in which wine or even ugly jewellery is exhibited. We're going through a big room that was covered for a celebration. Once more left and we see some kind of restaurant. So close it. This is where the first service humans catches us. We'll explain to him that I've reserved and parked five meters. We have a direct look at a buffet. Looks nice, but I've been afraid to be wrong here. Behind me I see butter cubes in a large porcelain dish, which are covered with ice cubes... Why are there still butter at the buffet in the evening (19:00)? A friendly young man in a black suit and a purple shirt with a tie controls us. “Ah.. Family Nolux..” I had won him love right away. In his cheerful way he gave us three tables to choose from. There are about 100 guests. Mainly tables for six people are here. Well 20 guests of a golfer group were already present, supplied with drinks. Outside there were also a few guests on the covered terrace. We'll sit down, eight minutes later, we'll get our tickets from our boss. At the same time, he pointed to the buffet. He counted; Appetizer variants (a kind of antipasti, buntbarschfilet or turkey breast on “reis variations” and various sweets or cheeses were selected. It should have cost about €25 per nose. Immediately afterwards the question of our drinks... We are discussing commemoration, which was also granted to us. Let's check the map. A typical leather-bound card, with windows in which the individual pages were found. And oh wonder, a current asparagus card makes the beginning. This is where Ingelheimer Spargel is praised. And even at human prices. In the normal card then two soups, six to seven salads, appetizers and intermediate dishes, two options for vegetarians and five main dishes, including giant cloves and tuna. At the back there were desserts and children's dishes. All of it is high, the Wiener Schnitzel, for example with roast potatoes and salad, would have cost 19.90€. Additives used are characterized by numbers, barely a dish comes without. What flavor enhancers do in a rag steak can't say... Just as little as fish products in asparagus with castle potatoes with sauce Hollandaise...? All meals are also described in English. The selection of drinks is modest. Beer comes from Bitburg or Köstritz, wheat make the Benedictines. We did not get a special wine card, the selection of open wines is limited to four winemakers from the close with 13 15 wines. We went through with our choice, the cards came to the boss. Then we gave up the order and he disappeared. Shortly afterwards, cutlery was replaced or added at our table. Everything always neat from right, ladies first... Then he brought the drinks with a young colleague. At first he opened in front of our eyes the bottle of water (6€ 0.75 which he then reihum in his feminine style only to the ladies, then to us gentlemen. This was repeated once during the evening. Furthermore we served the ordered Benediktin wheat (5€ 0.5 , my Pils (3€ 0.3 , Fräulein chose a dry Riesling from the Kauer winery in Windesheim Nahe (5.80€ 0.2). Stand on the table, along with salt and pepper shakers, a pot plant and an LED light, even glasses ready for water and wine. It was a poor red wine cellar. A hotel with such claims should have representative glasses in a city in the middle of the near wine cultivation area. And then they pour the nominal very good Riesling into this glass tub... Ahh! In such a chalice, all that makes a young Riesling go. Miss didn't care. We had already emptied the day for some glasses of good wine. I tasted my bit! One more thing should follow. We were then served with herbal cucumber and two kinds of bread. The quark homemade and could please, the bread was nothing special, even more dry. Meanwhile, the golfers slept over the blue carpet to the buffet to fully load the plates. We got surprisingly a greeting from the kitchen... Quiche Lorraine with herbal cucumber I was surprised. A small quiche, with a thin spicy bottom, about five centimeters in diameter, three high, garnished with two tablespoons of the quark we had already at the table and doughed with crispy parsley. I have to say it tasted good. The proportion of the cloth might be somewhat too low, but consistency and taste could please. Even the quark was good. A beautiful start! (4* When cleansing, it was asked “whether it was fit and whether we were allowed to return the kitchen.” Brilliant! The golfers had just finished their third walk to the buffet and I looked at the room a little closer. A high ceiling, with halogen spots to illuminate the room, the walls are a mix of red and white. The chairs are made of wood and brightly padded, partly with armrests. You sit comfortably. The table is covered with a bright tablecloth in hotel quality. Cutlery of the WMF Hotel variety is also a rolled-in napkin that stands high-edge in front of one. A small plate with bread knife on the left. Then we get our creams from the bar-saving gel with Croutons (5,80€ As no other way to expect, this was served in a classic gastro soup cup. Go to Spargel. Five croutons swoop up. When the spoon was immersed, I had to penetrate a thin skin, but it was still very hot. Below were some pieces good garden asparagus. In the mouth only cream tasted. Then the asparagus came out in the back. A real “ram” soup. Little asparagus to taste. But it got better with every spoon. Even the croutons still had enough crunch and were not completely diverted. They only tasted to me a little too intense after any herbs I could not define, even the oil in which they were fried was very taste-intensive. Still a decent soup and homemade. Good 3.5* When cleansing, it was again asked for the satisfaction that the water was poured. In the meantime, up to three waiters took care of our table. Always strict after Knigge. It's too exhausting to me, and it works in my eyes. Despite communication with the guest, it is not really personal but only professional. The lady then brings us three times the side salad Lollo Rosso, Lollo Bionda, radish salad, carrot salad in yellow and orange, a few leaves of chicory, a bit of tomato and cucumber. All fresh, good dressing, there were some roasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds. I missed the herbs alone. A decent salad! 4* We haven't been all through the green food yet, the main foods have been served. We should pay attention to the very hot plates. Our companions once chose the Ingelheimer asparagus with lock potatoes (whatever the hot may be with crushed butter and a pig-back steak. The asparagus partly very thick, up to three centimeters in diameter, but well cooked and very tasty! Steak's getting too dry. The decomposed butter was served abundantly in a saucer. The Lord chose a pig-back steak with rosemary apples and mushroom cream sauce. Here too the steak almost too dry, sometimes also to grow through. Must have come from the front part of the back. The potatoes had a good rosemary aroma. The mushroom sauce looked neat. Fräulein once again chooses homemade cheese parrots with roasted onions (13,80€) For this they already looked evenly. Maybe pressed through a press. Not at all. Satisfactory from consistency and taste. Only had the cheese (sahne sauce get too much salt. The cheese itself was good and suitable. The roasted onions on top were also fried, only poorly degreased. There was a clear taste of oil. It wasn't bad that it was too little. Half a Cherry tomato and dried parsley brought color into play. The portion plentiful, Miss couldn't. The two gentlemen took over at the table. The court was okay, not anymore! 3* Rumpsteak with homemade herbal butter and roast potatoes (21.80€ A really big piece of meat I had not expected. What came there wasn't more than 180 grams. The potatoes were enough and almost perfect. Salt was missing. But he could be helped. Nice to fried with bacon and a few herbs. They were really good. Unfortunately, the steak could not really convince. Of course, the desired degree of cooking was not asked before. Then the disappointment. Nix Rosa. “Naja, maybe it tastes anyway.” It wasn't dry, even quite juicy. The herbal butter that had broken over it could also save a lot. Actually a good piece of meat with beautiful taste, unfortunately too long cooked. 3* When cleaning up again the obligatory question of satisfaction. I said garnix. The others also swallowed it, it was nodded. Shortly afterwards the question of a café that was ordered three times. (2,90€ per There was a cookie in plastic film. Very stylish... whoever wants him, Miss has this thing still in the purse. At the request of the bill we were offered a dessert wine. I refused. Three pieces found the way to us. This time in the right glass, Madame told us that it was a selection from the Kauer winery, 132 grams of residual sweets. This wine is listed in the map. 6.80€ cost 0.2l. We got 0.4l. What's going wrong? I mean, he wasn't even so good. Why are they giving away expensive stuff?? The bill was brought to us, each party its own. After deducting our voucher, a remaining amount of about 8€ remained. From that point of view, a good evening for us : I wanted to take the document with me, because the operation meant, “okay, there I have to make a copy”...??? It took five minutes. She brought me the copy. Cut out from DIN A 4 sheet. So there are things... We went, there was no adoption. And the butter now floats in the water... Conclusion: Once and probably never again. It wasn't really bad now, we didn't feel comfortable. The service worked professionally and at no time personally. The food was actually fine. A few handcrafted mistakes prevented a good meal. The ambience does not invite you to a romantic dinner. After all, it was very clean. Whether in the guest room, in the halls or in the toilets. I find PLV on beer three times! This is where you place great emphasis on hotel operation! But there must be these plants. 2 – hardly again (1 – certainly not again, 2 – hardly again, 3 – if it results again, 4 – happy again, 5 – definitely back to kitchen trip
