"We have now thrown our walking plan for the one-week stay in Karlstadt. Great heat and a bubble at the foot has made us switch to bicycles. At least the bladder does not settle, and the wind leaves the temperature of 34 degrees on this 9. August becomes more bearable. A good 30 kilometers are wheeled, the wheels are again accommodated in the hotel's bicycle shed, showered and off to the main road. It is again magnificent among the parasols in front of the restaurants on the Karlstadter Flaniermeile. Finally we get a free table in timeless. The ambience The building in the main street 28 with the timeless on the ground floor is immediately in the eye. A powerful ocher-coloured arcade building lets the building jump out of the front line. Among the arcades, the arcades lined with brown-toned stones, and other additional parasols offer the timeless spice ' and potion in the outdoor gastronomy. We're sitting outside the evening and haven't been in the guest room of the timeless. One sits comfortably on the seat cushion in the dark grey chairs on small rectangular tables, all up to the metal table tops and reminiscent of terrace furniture. As with our visit to Da Franco, we rate the ambience with all the above, i.e. three and a half stars. The service After we have taken place, we wait a while. The young man, who is to serve us, is busy with clearing works at other tables before he takes note of us, almost at the same time with my wife's purpose is to go? He gives us the menus. As a first drink, my enthusiasts order a water and I order a biker suitable for the bike tour (both 3,50 € of half a liter). The young man serves us for the evening – I say – according to obligation. He does his job, no more and no less. We rate that with an o.k., three stars. The menu includes carvings, steaks (also dry aged), salads, fish, pizzas, flame cakes, vegetarians and Franconian. There is no lack of choice, especially as the carvings are offered in four sizes: L, XL, XXL and XXXL. Prices seem appropriate to us, a price level as found in small towns. An extract of the menu can be found on the websites of the timeless. From our waiter now supplied with water and cyclists, my wife – a flame cake Mediterranean at 8,50 €, and I choose – roasted zander fillet, scampi and picky salmon on summer salads at 12,90 €. The hunger is not so great at this hot evening, but liquid is necessary. In view of the first drink going to the neige, we order a reluctance, my wife a Mühlbacher Silvaner (3.90 € of the five-wire) and I the Duke of Franken, no, no wine, but a Franconian beer (3.50 € of half a liter). Wine and beer are quickly brought by our service, the Frankenbier in the Steinkrug. My wife is trying the wine. Too warm, her spontaneous judgment. A later glass still has the right temperature. The beer foam in the Steinkrug has already fallen, the beer surface is visible when I reach the Duke of Franken. Hoppla, the beer level is well below the oak. In the case of a later beer, ordered with another beer until the oak coat, then the beer level is at the level of the marking. Flamecake and zander fillet do not allow long to wait. The flame cake is coated with sour cream, rag, olives, sheep cheese and peperoni give the Mediterranean touch. My better half seasons with salt and pepper. O.k. is her close judgment. My zander fillet on salads comes colourful. On leaf salads, tomato slices, cucumber slices, radish slices, carrot rasps and sprouts are the light brown roasted zander fillet with pesto, the pink-colored scampi and the reddish smiles garnished. I order vinegar and oil to optimize salad dressing and receive an excellently tasty apple balsamico from Wiberg in addition to extra virgin olive oil. The summer salad tastes very good. Zanderfilet, Scampi and the mildly pickled salmon are tasteful and well prepared. Our judgment on the consumed would certainly have been better if there weren't any shortcomings in the drinks. So we just value food and drinks with three stars, a scarce O.k... The cleanliness on the outside of our table is nothing to complain about. The guest room and the toilets are not taken into account in our assessment as we were not there. We give four stars. The price-performance ratio With more care for drinks and a little more commitment to the service, the price-performance ratio is quite good. The conclusion, well, it doesn't really tear us back here. The food is o.k., perhaps are not well-tempered wine and low beer level in the Steinkrug slipper. Let's say jaaa, o.k. as a conclusion."
