"First of all, a small disclaimer: The four stars should be understood in the context of the claim. This is of course quite high for a restaurant of this category. I was missing a little something atmospherically. The Aqua presents itself as noble and purposeful, but it lacks a bit of the extraordinary component. The menu, for all its quality, which I'll get to later, misses the chance to tell a story. The service had a few unexpected vulnerabilities. Among other things, there was a lack of consistency in the address (sometimes you, sometimes you) and people failed to introduce themselves. The fluctuation within the service staff was also noticeable; I would have liked to have been accompanied through the evening by the same person. But there were also many nice moments in which our numerous questions were answered competently and friendly. One can summarize here that the atmosphere and service are certainly subjective, but they seemed a bit too stiff and submissive for me. About the menu: The Kalamata olive was a first highlight for me. Simple, with local cheese, but surprising in its intensity of taste. The bread served was also convincing. Well-made sourdough bread enriches every menu. Pulpo and Chorizo were also convincing. With the pork belly, the fantastic, slightly peppery aftertaste of the jus was a particularly great experience. The eagle fish carpaccio was a dish with a high surprise factor. While the outer part was almost a little boring, the flavor intensity increased massively towards the middle. The red onions were awesome. The Breton sole resulted in a very familiar and less innovative taste, which was so technically perfect that it was still my second highlight of the evening. We continued with an onsen egg, which once again showcased the Aqua team's exceptional craftsmanship. With the Étoufféé pigeon, the question of the meaning of the name should perhaps have been avoided. Even though I'm a little frightened by the perfidious methods of dealing with animals that our French neighbors sometimes practice, the pigeon in this form was a completely new culinary event for me. So exactly what I expect from upscale gastronomy. The champagne sorbet just wasn't for me. But the same applies here: great quality and attractive presentation. The first desert, consisting of coconut, carrots and passion fruit sorbet, was creative, beautiful and tasty and qualified as the third highlight. The second: popcorn, corn and strawberries was the complete opposite and by far the weakest dish of the day. I have no idea what they were thinking. The praline finale was a visual highlight, but in terms of taste I didn't have much choice. All in all, the Aqua presented itself at a fantastic level on the ability scale. But I think the restaurant lacks a bit of character. Despite this criticism, I had a really successful evening."

"Like all good Sushi places, this is a very small restaurant. This does make sense since the preparation of very fresh food is time consuming and limits the number of customers that can be served. On the other hand it is sad since only a limited number of customers can subsequently enjoy the great Sushi.I simply like Sushi, I still order by pictures or pointing and have little or no clue about names of different kind of Sushi (this might be sad but in this case I prefer to eat over learning bits and pieces of Japanese). But I can say that between the many places I have eaten Sushi so far this comes in third (after one in Vienna and one in Frankfurt). Very friendly and quick service even for a Sushi restaurant, the aforementioned high quality sushi and a nice atmoshpere contribute to the overall very good impression. A staple during my visits to Wolfsburg!"

"delicious, always fresh. for all. excellently seasoned, without having to smell 3 days after garlic. the owner has always good mood and a great memory for customers. they feel comfortable and welcome. the interior and also the exterior are repeatedly embellished/modernized. the service is always super friendly and besides the obligatory ouzo you will still get a small sweet closing to the house . truly one of our absolute favorites. to other Greek natives in wolfsburg and surroundings we no longer go."

"Wir waren zu Ostern mit der Familie (10 Personen) zum Frühstück in der Schlossremise. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen.Das Frühstücksbuffet war reichhaltig und abwechslungsreich. Es gab ein vielseitiges Angebot an Brotsorten. Das Müsli kann man sich aus verschiedenen Sorten selbst zusammen mixen. Weiterhin mehrere Sorten Schinken, Wurst und auch Lachs. Auch gab es eine kleine Auswahl an Antipasti sowie das obligatorische Rührei mit Schinken Speck und Würstchen. Der Obstsalat war frisch zubereitet und sehr lecker. Das Personal war stets aufmerksam und freundlich. An Getränken gibt es neben dem angebotenen Filterkaffee ebenfalls verschiedene Teesorten, Säfte, Mineralwasser und auch Prosecco. Lediglich der mit einem Euro extra berechnete Cappuccino hat uns nicht gemundet. Erwähnenswert ist die Behindertentoilette im Erdgeschoss.Für das Frühstück kommen wir definitiv wieder."

"I can say as long as we had nothing to say! The place was every time a success in my mouth. The chairs are very pleasant and the distance between the tables I find extremely reasonable. There you don't get the feeling of eating fish on can evening. The waiters are always very striving and always polite! My husband and I also find the prices completely fair."
