Cafe Del Lago - Salzgitter

We were very disappointed by our visit to Café del Lago! My husband and I had reserved for us and his parents. And I'm telling you, if we had been alone, we would have gone prematurely.It began with the fact that we were not placed at the table that we reserved a week before personally after a common meal. We had reserved a table with beautiful view of the lake, we got a table with a view of the terrace, but not on the lake.We waited for our food exactly one hour.During the first 40 minutes we watched how the service staff plates wore around plates on the terrace also at tables that were occupied after we arrived and therefore asked for the first time when we will get our food. The young service was obviously very unpleasant and she said to ask in the kitchen. After another 10 minutes I asked again what was with our food. We were hungry!So right!!! we were dissatisfied when a couple who arrived around half an hour after us and sat down at the side table had already served their plates when we still had ours.The service force kindly apologised it changes but nothing that belongs to a good meal also a good mood. And our mood was bad now, so we couldn't enjoy our food. Even if the quality was okay. Not so good, but okay. The **** onions in the dish of my mother-in-law were almost raw, our mushrooms in the mushroom cream sauce tasted nothing. When we were asked if we would like to order drinks in the warm guest room after more than an hour, I asked if they would go to the house just because we waited for an hour. This was not possible because a waiting period of up to 45 minutes must be expected. Oh! That the couple arrived next to us, their plates already after max. 25 minutes, made for shoulders and embarrassing smiles.The beverage prices, e.g. 5,30 € for a beer, whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic are not favourable. On coffee and espressi, which otherwise round off a meal, we forgot and just wanted to go!There was no liqueur, coffee or anything else to finish as an excuse from the house. Nothing. Nothing. In addition, the bathing guests of the Salzgittersee in the bikini and swimsuits did not always have a nice view through the guest room to go to the toilet, which were perhaps not very clean, or in baths and underpants did not even order a beautiful view at the counter drinks.In the last two years we have been more often at the Café del Lago and were mostly satisfied. Do I want to eat there in future after this experience? No way this year!Later? I don't know.

We had dinner with the family on Christmas Day, everything was very tasty and the service was very attentive!

Wow mega more is possible, the Christmas decoration is simply beautiful. The service was once again excellent, attentive and very friendly. The food was to die for: grilled plates with potato wedges. Very good meat quality grilled to perfection and tasted very very good. I can only recommend!! Keep it up. Greetings to the super nice team!!! Food: 5

In principle, this place isn't bad. The menu is interesting, and the food is quite good. The location is fine, and atmosphere is totally in order. But... The owners seem to want to save money on the service. Even when the place is half empty...the service is not particularly attentive, and when it's full (by good weather) they are completely overwhelmed. (Incidentally, charging extra when someone wants a mineral water instead of a coffee with a breakfast belongs really in the last century

Visited this place on a glorious Sunday afternoon with the family. Had an outside table with a great lakeside view. I can only concur with the other German visitors experiences, see below. Ordered ice creams and a salad. Salad appeared rapidly but our ice creams appeared after minutes! Then to add insult to injury we were given chocolate chip instead of our Mango, Lemon and Chocolate chip order. After talking to the waiter we were told quite rudely, all sold out and here are your deserts. Basically dry your eyes and get on with it. I was obviously spitting feathers but sweating my socks off in degree heat. Needless to say we ate our deserts and popped smoke quite rapidly. Waiter was paid and not given a tip for his fantastic customer service skills. Fantastic location, food is ok, service is extremely poor, especially on a weekend. Visit during a week day and your visit will go swimmingly.
