"Waren heute auf der Strandterrase mit den Kindern essen und die Bedienung war freundlich & hat uns sofort für die Kinder Buntstifte & ein Nordseebilderrätsel gebracht, womit die Kinder sofort beschäftigt waren :-) Wir bestellten uns ne 3er-Fischplatte und einen Pannfisch und waren sehr zufrieden mit dem Essen"

"Wir speisten zweimal im Restaurant. Dort wird solide Hausmannskost und reichliche Portionen serviert, die uns persönlich jedoch nicht restlos überzeugten. Das gesamte Personal war ausgesprochen nett und freundlich. Spektakulär ist die Sicht auf das Watt und die Insel Neuwerk."

"Sehr schöne Lokalität, sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Mitarbeiter. Die Lage ist klasse, mit direktem Meerblick, die Tische stehen großzügig verteilt auf der Terrasse und man sitzt nicht wie ein Hering in der Dose. Getränke kamen sehr schnell und auch das Essen war zügig da. Es gab Currywurst / Pommes. Sehr lecker. Unser Hund wurde sehr freundlich empfangen und es gab am Eingang direkt Wasser für unsere Kleine. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder"

"Wir waren für 1 Übernachtung da. Das Zimmer Ideal für einen Rollstuhl Fahrer. TOP Bad. Leider fehlt ein Kühlschrank, was bei einem Diabetiker nicht ideal ist. Eine Minibar sucht man vergeblich. Insgesamt nur 3 Sterne. Das Restaurant Das Haus ist ein 3Sterne Hotel und nicht das Adlon. Wer den totalen Luxus möchte, soll entsprechend buchen. Wir haben uns jedenfalls sehr wohl gefühlt. 2 unglaublich umsichtige und freundliche Service-Profis, die 6 Sterne verdient hätten. Man hat auf den Rollstuhl Rücksicht genommen und den Tisch entsprechend gewählt und vorbereitet. Das Essen 3 Personen = 3 verschiedene Gerichte Alles kam zeitgleich und war nicht nur optisch eine gute Wahl. Geschmack und Menge haben vollends überzeugt. Ja, ich muss wissen, dass auf diesem Niveau die Sauce nicht komplett von Hand gemacht wird. Convenience gehören heute dazu. Mag man das nicht, dann muss man sich vorher für ein Sterne-Restaurant entscheiden und auch deutlich (!) mehr bezahlen. In der Summe eine eindeutige Empfehlung für das Gesamtpaket aus Hotel und Restaurant. Mal abwarten, wie in einigen Stunden das Frühstück sein wird."

"Sehr gutes Essen. Sehr netter freundlicher Service. Der Lapskaus war mega, nicht ganz so fein wie woanders. Noch ein paar kleine Stücke drin. Die Currywurst riesig. Sehr freundliche Bedienung."

"The location is superb. Secluded and quiet. Right on the dike. Non-hotel guests can have a meal there only after 5 pm onward in order to reserve space exclusively for hotel guests. Entrance door needs key card. We did not know so we walked around and access the restaurant from the beach side. Hotel decor is nice with a purple tone. Everything is clean. There is an outdoor dining part to enjoy fresh sea air and indoor parts with big windows. We were four. Menu was a combination of easy eating like salads and sausages and fine dining of fish and meat. We ordered one main course and one drink each plus two schnaps. The total bill was 110€. The schollen fish and shrimp dish (22.90€) was rather good and sumptuous. Flavor was medium. I found the boiled potatoes a bit sour (old?). Service was okay. Good if you don’t have a high expectation."
