“ Finding out that Monika started this restaurant, together with family, made that I needed to go there. Monika for me is the kindest, warmest and caring person I know in Oberammergau, I know her as an excellent host when she's renting her apartments. But, it's about the restaurant! Well, obviously not disappointed. We started with a nice bubble as a welcome, including some bread with great stuff. I won't spoil it all, since the staff very kindly explains you what you will get. They do it better than I do. One of the dishes of the week was the asparagus with veal schnitzel. Well, that dish was simply excellent. And again the same happened with the fresh dessert with rhubarb ice. So, this is not your average place. Everything is served with attention for the food and guests, the staff makes you feel very welcome and provide good advice. Take your time when coming here, and I say that because you want to spend time here, not because service is slow. Relax, enjoy great quality food and wine and I hope you brought some good company. And if Monika is working when you visit, please say hi from me. ”
“ Food is great, staff is very tentative and friendly, nice and cozy environment. Highly recommended ! ”
“ The food and services are exellent. This Was my third visit in three months and look forward to do it again. The menu had changed and offeret some very good experiences. ”
“ Best meal we’ve had in Germany! Service where they check on you, bring you more drinks , salt/pepper etc. Caprese was phenomenal, dumplings delicious, baked prawns in lobster bisque best we’ve ever had. Must try! ”
“ Second Update...(Now 5 stars) I went here tonight with a large group, and I have to say, the staff was very accommodating, the food was terrific, and the whole experience was wonderful. I can easily recommend Altes Sägewerk to anyone visiting the area. ---------- Update... (Changed from 3 to 4-stars). After a few more trips, I think Altea Sägewerk has settled into a model that provides a reliable quality meal, with great service, at a decent price. I really like what they have done, and will happily return for special occasions. ----------- Nice restaurant, 2/3 times have been amazing and 1/3 was so-so. I just realized that it was Vatertag tonight, and despite their Instagram advertisement that every Papa gets a free Schnapps, I did not, in fact, receive a free Schnapps. Minus one star for your lies! ”
“ Rented a car to drive to the castles from Munich, ended up here for dinner after linderhof palace. So good. Great Bavarian food and a little lighter/varied than other places (wife appreciated after eating only schnitzel, pork knuckle and sausages for 3 days ) our German is terrible but waitress was awesome just had us point out what we wanted on the menu ”
“ Definitely a restaurant where I would like to come back again! Very kind and attentive staff, nice atmosphere and more importantly the food was good. “Schweinebraten” (pork) is a must to have, juicy, soft and so tasty! Well done, one of the best restaurant in town. ”
