"We ate at this restaurant on the first night of a weeklong stay in Herford, visiting our daughter who lived there at the time. We walked to the restaurant, located literally just outside the suburbs of Herford, on a balmy summer evening, up the hill...with a cornfield on one side and a wheat field on the other. There was a wedding reception taking place but we managed to get a very good outside table overlooking the fields with two hot-air balloons floating about not far off. The staff were friendly and helpful and a couple of them spoke good English. The menus were only available in German, fair enough as Herford is not particularly on the main tourist circuit but it does nonetheless still have a couple of barracks full of British service personnel. Having previously lived in Germany, albeit nearly 30 years ago, I was able to translate most of the menu and the waiter was able to assist with the odd word or two. As is common in Germany, the menu was heavily influenced with Pork dishes but was varied enough. In our party of four, three of us had the Beef Carpaccio for starters, which was sublime, while one had a chicken satay skewer in a coconut broth, which was also very good. For mains, between us we had a fillet steak, pork cordon-bleu, hamburger and fries, and I had Pork Tenderloin, which was very salty. I had forgotten just how generous portions tend to be in Germany and the Steinmeyer lived up to this reputation. Unfortunately, having sat chatting for while after the main courses, when we did eventually ask for the dessert menu, we were told that the kitchen was closed! Just as well I suppose! So, while not blown away by the food, the setting makes for a really nice evening out and with the exception of over-seasoned pork fillet, the food was pretty good and I would most likely return if in Heford again."
