Castell Saal, Zuoz

I have listed my experience under room, but we enjoyed a lunch on the terrace. I assume this is done by the lounge/red bar. In any case, it was a very pleasant surprise. I must admit, it took a little while to be noticed by a server, but after this first small glimm we were very well looked after. My salad was tasty and the beef burger they serve, saw and tasted very good. The service was very attentive, friendly and personal. The beverage card continues forever and they have a huge selection of cocktails. The terrace has a fantastic view of the Engadine Valley and a south orientation. The lounge and the Red Bar are elegant and stylish and will be beautiful when the weather is not very beautiful.

We reserved this restaurant for a 70 yr birthday dinner celebration for 8 people because it 1) near where we were (madulain) (2) it was one of the few still open for the low season (3) it had, according to its website, opened a greater choice in their menu card compared to the other restaurants. we found when we got a limited list in their menu, it was said that everything they have. the food was good we ordered meat, fish, vegetarian, they all tasted also for a simple carving for the children. The only, but is, their shares, they were really tiny (except the carving) for these prices. the service was also excellent, the same goes for their wine card. the ambience was not to our liking(animal bones hanging over our heads), but understandably typical of the region of the space in which we were inaugurated. we had more or less privacy with 2 only other couples in the same room dining room. they were nice enough to offer something a dessert cum apéro wine for our group in honor of birthday celebrant. I would still recommend it to friends, but warn them of the portions.

I have listed my experience under Saal, however we enjoyed a lunch on the terrace. I suppose this is done by the lounge/Rote Bar. In any case, it was a very pleasant surprise. I have to admit, it took a little while to get noticed by a server, but after that first little glitch we were taken care of excellently. My salad was tasty and the beef burger they serve, looked and tasted very good. The service was very attentive, friendly and personal. The drink menu goes on forever and they have an enormous selection of cocktails.The terrace has a fantastic view of the Engadine Valley and a southern exposure. The lounge and Rote Bar themselves are decorated elegantly and stylish and will be nice when the weather isn't very nice.

We stayed between christmas and new year twice for a nice sunshine on the terrace from castell lunchtime. the location is unique with the view and the historical construction. the children can also be kept in the eye at any time on the lovingly provided ice field in front of the terrace. we had the salat with poulet stripes, the bündner gerstensuppe and the tagespasta. only the size of the portions are somewhat too small for people who have in this high sporting activity behind them.The quality of the service staff is very different. from lustless to immig everything is there. in principle one has the impression that the staff is sufficient for the amount of restaurant visitors. if you would structure it a little better, it would even be good at some things.

My constructive critique: I know that a hotel restaurant has specific peculiarities, but that doesn't excuse everything: if a small menu, then with local specialties. I'm not much, but the portions were too small. no demand for a proposal. the service was simply inadequate. pity, because castell as an art place with the beautiful dining room would have much to offer.
