"Heute war ich zum ersten Mal im Landhaus Rotterbach zum Mittagessen. Das Ambiente ist wunderschön. Im Sommer kann man hier auch sehr nett draußen sitzen mit offenem Kamin. Personal ist super freundlich die Speisekarte lässt auch keine Wünsche offen und die Mittag Karte ist preislich sehr moderat Pavel Spitzrotbarschund Königsberger Klopse alles raus gemacht das komplette Menü für 16,90 €, da kann man wirklich nichts sagen"

"Nettes Lokal (ein wenig „Old School“) mit solider gutbürgerlicher Küche, alles sehr schmackhaft und wohlwollend portioniert. Neben der normalen Speisekarte auch immer noch eine Tageskarte. Auch ein sehr schöner Aussenbereich/Terrasse. Weinauswahl würde ich mir ein wenig umfangreicher wünschen."

"Klassisches gut bürgerliches Restaurant mit leckeren Speisen und tollem Service. Einziges Manko, es gibt für Vegetarier lediglich einen Salat und für Veganer eigentlich nichts. Daher ist es für mich eher sinnlos hier öfter hinzugehen. Schade. Vielleicht ändert sich das ja mal."

"Sehr leckere Gans, Brust & Keule, beides sehr zu empfehlen. Rotkohl sehr lecker, nur die Klöße waren etwas geschmacklos. Aber die sehr leckere Bratensoße hat alles ausgeglichen. Nette Bedienung, nettes und gepflegtes Ambiente. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis."
