German Spoon

Great service Awesome food Super pet friendly My dogs were treated like royalty

We won't return – My wife and I took our young grandson here tonight. The restaurant looked pleasant enough from the outside, with the mood set by a German busker playing German tunes on his accordian near the entrance. We were seated inside by a waitress, far back corner, well away from any atmosphere and next to (what my wife, when she looked directly to her left, would soon find out to be) the door leading to the toilet. We had placed our order for food and drinks as soon as we were seated, as we had already chosen from the menu board outside. And we waited ......... 20 minutes later I got up to ask if we could at least have our drinks, stating that I understood we might have to wait for the food. Noone had our order. The barman (owner?) apologetically shoved a bottle of water in my hand saying "Take this while we sort out your order." I pointed to our waiter who appeared, that he had taken the order. He had even repeated our order back to us when he took it. I took the bottle of water back to my wife, we deliberated for a few minutes more before deciding to leave. She didn't appear too comfortable anyway, with people brushing past her chair to and from theirs 1's and 2's. As we left, we could still hear the staff trying to work out what our order was. The place was busy, but not packed. Our bill would have been $100.00 for a 500mL lager, 1 apple juice, a share plate for 2 and a kids meal. Money we spent elsewhere. Why seat us next to the toilet when you had tables available elsewhere? Is it because my wife is Asian or because we had a young boy with us? How could the waiter lose our order as he had to go past both the counter and the bar? We won't return.

German Spoon great food and service – Have been visiting Hahndorf SA for many years attempting to establish a reasonable cost and traditional German food for many years and today found the German Spoon. Venue if very comfortable and service was very friendly and accommodating
