"We had an amazing dinner. We went there after it was recommended to us by friends. If you are celebrating something or just want to spoil yourself, that's the place. I had the venison pepper and my husband the fish with sweet potato. The waiters were also very nice to our baby daughter."

"Located on a nice spot with view overlooking the city and lake Zurich, enjoyed a Sunday brunch from the a la cart menu. Courteous, friendly and polite service and excellent kitchen with more unique signature dishes. The ambience is very nice for a quaint, relaxing time. We really enjoyed our stay and can only recommend!"

"We had our wedding reception at Sonnenberg (in the Bellevue room) last week, and everything was amazing. The organisation was seamless, every arrangement worked perfectly, and the staff were exceptionally attentive. On top of that, the food was delicious, which made the whole experience unforgettable. The only small thing was that the vegetarian option had no protein and was not so filling for our non-meat-eaters, but that was the only little flaw. Thank you so much for the organisation and for helping to create such a special day for us."

"The food was delicious, as I expected, caramel butter no sugar only caramel flavor - very interesting combination even you can buy it to take home, fresh salad with crispy granola (nice little twist). I ordered fish as a main (Zander), crispy outside and juicy inside, with risotto, and my friend tried for the first time Zürcher kalbsgeschnetzeltes, really nice one, very soft tender. Wonderful view to the city, Uetliberg, Zürich lake in the night. Video couldn’t show this( I ordered the table in advance, and asked at the window. We wanted enjoy the view. One thing I didn’t like - was fresh roses on the table - they was withered( better would be without. I asked the waiter about it - are they very tired or sad Also they have spacious terrace outside. It’s nice the convenient, free parking next to the restaurant."
