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. Great impromptu Sunday lunch. Perfect t combination of outdoor playground and super family lunch. We took the ravioli, beef tartar spicy and kids menu! All wonderful. What a fantastic restaurant. Jonathon our waiter was fantastic. Knew his wine, his service and attention to detail was outstanding. Food was great too, so highly recommend. The setting and atmosphere was great too - quiet yet not dead. Everyone was respectful of each other.

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.

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.
