Stone Hill Winery, Hermann

My husband and I had dinner on Tuesday August 13. While my husbands dinner was an average three star, I ordered the chicken spaetzle with blue cheese and found it to be inedible because it was loaded with garlic. He tasted it and found the same garlic flavor. I cannot overstate how bad this dish was. Neither of us are experts on German food, so I researched and found several spaetzle recipes on-line and none of them used garlic. This dish was not prepared properly and I should not have had to pay for it (but did not ask for a freebie). I only give it two stars because my German Trio special was edible. I have had much better German food in other US cities. The Norton red wine was good and the service was good too. But the food was not.

Stone Hill was recommended by our Bed and Breakfast host as the most authentic German style restaurant in Hermann, it delivered. Our meal was better than any German food we’ve had in the US and as good as any we had while living in Germany. I had the “Trio”, Schnitzel, Wurst and Sauerbraten, it was all excellent. My wife had Spaetzle with Grilled Chicken, she enjoyed her meal as well. Our server was Sam and she provided impeccable service. We liked the uncomplicated sweet white wine we had with the meal. All in all an enjoyable evening.
