"An annual cultural highlight for us is the New Year's Concert at the Staatsoperette Dresden. So again this year, we made it to the premiere on 01. January to get tickets. So with our friends it should be a musical afternoon, and the evening we wanted to be culinary. This is easier to say than done, because not only the relatively few restaurants around the State Opera are available, so many were still closed on this New Year's Day. However, in a few hundred meters away, which we have visited many times, we have also returned our last visit for two years. For our friends, this should be the first visit there. So I had ordered a table for us four at times. On the New Year's Day, after the New Year's Concert, we set ourselves on foot in the shooting house in our extensive wardrobe, as parking spaces are shortware. Before the entrance, two kitchen staff had to french their truck of the nicotine deprivation, which I don't find too beautiful as an incoming guest, but you might want to visit another corner. After entering the restaurant, we marveled at the fact that the New Year's Day was quite well visited and only a few tables were free. Guest room We were accommodated on the ground floor in the large guest room, on the upper floor there is another guest room. Rustic furnishings are placed here on large, heavy wooden chairs and on the walls on back-high benches. The back is well padded with soft pillows. The tables are large, here can be served enough. Guest room Two ladies were responsible for our table. While the older ones noticed the stress of the past holidays, the younger ones were on the move, we missed something like this. But later more. So the older lady brought us to the table, handed over the menus, and let's just hit us in the drinks card before she came back to our table after a few minutes. A small small talk also developed, and she also told that the holidays were unlikely to be stressful and the restaurant was fully booked around the clock. Of course, what some guests leave is speechless and I do not want to give it back here. We had at least made our drinks and ordered: Beverages: · 1x 0.5ér Field Sweater alcohol-free for 5,90 € · 1x 0,25ér Sächsische Landwein „Bennoschoppen“ for 7,90 € · 1x 0.4 ́er Tonic for 4,90 € · 1x 0.4ér Grapos Cola for 4,90 € · 1x 0.4ér Fruit juice for 4,90 € The lady was able to dessert in the menu and we were able Mostly good-bourgeois, Saxon cuisine is offered here, and so there are all kinds of dedication from the scavenger, via haxe, steak and cassel roast. But it was also possible to choose from chicken, green and homemade sülze. There was also the Christmas card. After a few minutes the young lady came into play and brought us the drinks to the table. At the same time, she asked if we had already chosen, and so we began to tell our wishes. However, unfortunately it was no longer in stock what I understand as a guest after such holidays, but as an operation from the outset one should draw attention to what is no longer available and not only notice when ordering “This is already out”! We finally found our wishes, and ordered: appetizer: · 1x tomato cream soup with croutons for 6,90 € · 1x sniper pot for sharpening for 7,90 € main dishes: · 2x rump steak with self-made herbal butter and fresh mixed salad, plus pommes frites for 28,90 € · 1x melaillons in cheese mashed My wife had once again ordered the tomato cream soup with croutons. Compared to our visit two years ago, the tomato cream soup was different in color, according to my wife but wonderfully creamy. Tomato cream soup with croutons I guess this was cream in the game. Otherwise she was also pleasantly fruity, but she could have been a bit hotter. The croutons were made of dark bread this time, unlike the last time when white bread was roasted. Tomato cream soup with croutons I had chosen the sniper pot again, I love sharp things. However, I also have to say here, to our visit two years ago a completely different soup, but this time for the negative. The soup of the color rather pale, also of the hearty, sharp taste I missed so much. The consistency very thin. A few large pieces of meat, similar to the goulash, were present, otherwise there was relatively much boiled, i.e. small pieces. Even the baguette was not so great, here you noticed that the baker has closed for a few days. After another 2 minutes our main dishes came to the table. The two ladies had ordered the Rumpsteak with self-made herbal butter and fresh mixed salad. While our friend preferred the steak with Pommes Frites, my wife wished potato corners, which were delivered at no extra cost. Now at the first cut of the steak the two ladies also noticed that the young waitress did not even ask when ordering how to fried the ragsteak. Rumpsteak with self-made herbal butter and fresh mixed salad There was no question from the kitchen, and so it was done rather well instead of medium, as they would have preferred. A little failure on both sides. The pommes as well as the potato corners were crispy and crispy, but some spice was missing here. The mixed salad consisted of leaf salad, chicory, rocket and tomato, and was fresh and crisp until tomato. There was a roasted herbal butter on top. The Rumpsteak was more on the map than two years ago with three eurons. Rumpsteak with self-made herbal butter and fresh mixed salad Our friend chose the medallions in cheese horseradish crust with potato roast. The arrangement on the plate was initially unusual, but the three delicate pork medallions, which were baked with hearty, sharp horseradish and cheese, were on the potato rösti. Medallions in cheese-meerettich crust, potato-Rösti, salad However, as a result of which there was no sauce, the potato roast remained nicely crispy. These were still beautifully spited inside with potato strips, provided with a flake pine on the outside. Whether these are now convenience or homemade, I cannot judge. As already written, the pork medallions were wonderfully tender and juicy, as well as sufficiently large. The sharp cheese horseradish crust is certainly not everyone's thing, but it fits perfectly here. Here again as a supplement a mixed salad consisted of leaf salad, chicory, rocket and tomato. This court was also estimated at 3 eurons more than two years ago. Medallions in cheese horseradish crust, potato rösti, salad I wish a classic Christmas menu today, because this winter it had done to me duck and goose. So I ordered the crispy goose bump with apple-red cabbage and potato dumplings. Two years ago, our last visit here was €18.90, a price increase of over 11 euros in two years. It's a pity. crispy goose bump with apple-red cabbage and potato crumbs But what should I say the goose bump a dream. There was a huge goose bump on the plate. The skin wonderfully crispy and dark fried, the meat butter softened, it could be detached from the bone without problems. The sauce also a dream, it was probably stirred here with the goose in the large pan. The red cabbage, or the apple cabbage, was probably also homemade. Pleasantly mild in taste but still strong and firm in the bite. It's not like a scary stuff that comes out of the glass. The two potato clots were also good in their consistency and provided a full bum as an additional satt maker. That was a successful conclusion of the Christmas days. what a goose bump After we were all done, the young lady came back to our table and asked if she could clean up. Of course, she could, but that before the guests, the food remains of all plates were pushed together on a plate, I have not experienced yet. Doesn't look nice at the place, if there's something going down here, too, and it's not great to miss the expensive suit. After almost two hours we were finished, our friends had to go to the train, so we paid, and the bill split was not a problem. Our conclusion: we left four 153,90 euros in the shooting house. The prices have attracted a lot to our last visit here. The food is good, except for the steak, which we would have preferred medium. We wish the service workers a few quieter days, but perhaps the young lady should rethink the abyss."
