Gutsausschank Baiken

Fantastic views, good food, slightly pricey. A lot of folks might say EUR20 is pretty heavy for Schnitzel with Bratkartoffel. They might be right. Generally speaking good quality food though and there is more on offer than just Gutbürgerlich. Decor is more rustic than erhoben. Basically it's all about a unique location, right in the middle of the weinberg and worth paying a few Euros more for in my opinion.


Make sure your Navi ios in good working condition as you have to take the tractor trail to get there.

If you ever want to experience terrible service, go here - It's a must!


If you want to make it even worse for yourself, have the manager take care of your table - he will personally make sure your evening is miserable.


On Saturday August 9th at 19:15, my wife and I was entering the terrace of Restaurant 'Gutsausschank im Baiken'. While I am checking our table reservation for 19:30 with one of the staff members, the manager himself runs quickly by with an empty tray towards the kitchen and at the same time telling me in the face No chance today, no chance..
This instead of greeting you as a customer and welcoming you to the restaurant, or simply asking, if I have a reservation. ...which I HAD.


Running a wineyard Restaurant in Rheingau, this place is also able to:


Give our reserved table to somebody else even though we were 15min too early. We had reserved THE corner table for 4 persons, it was given to somebody else.


Refuse to make a long drink because they do not have it on the menu


The 2nd excuse was that they do not have the ingredients (These very exotic ingredients are: Ginger ale, Riesling, crushed ice, lime). We had this drink in the same place 2 weeks ago.


Serve you chilled Assmannshauser Spätburgunder 1-2 degrees Celsius. Yes, chilled white wine is great, but red..


Starter: Geschmolzener Ziegenkäse im Speckmantel mit Salatnest vom gelben Löwenzahn, Tomaten und Kräuter in Honig-Senf-Vinaigrette comes with black bread - because it is burnt nicely under your Ziegenkäse. All three portions had this black bread, so it was all about consistency, not the taste nor appearance.


Serve raw chicken
Recook the chicken and bring the same chicken back when the rest of the group has finished their main course 45 minutes ago


Bring the desert in two stages, the people who ordered schnapps, get their desert 30 min earlier than the ones without schnapps


We told the manger in a decent manner that we wish not to be charged for the schnapps and the sorbet. We saw the manager jump in his car and driving away.
We had to ask for the bill twice, we were charged for everything = EUR180, also the wine.


I gave the waiter EUR190 in cash, hoping she would return with EUR10, this did not happen. We left.
