My husband and I had brunch at the The Cottage. The food was fabulous and the restaurant is just charming. The staff is very pleasant. Can't wait to go back for lunch or dinner, or both!

My 3 sisters and I chose The Cottage for its menu and ambiance, but we received so much more! Each meal was tasty and well-presented. Everything was so clean; waitress was the best. One in our party has multiple food allergies so the cook came to the table to discuss every ingredient in each desired dish. When an allergen was... More

What a nice surprise. Wish it had been warmer so we could have sat outside. The warmth of the staff more than made up for it tho. Food was good, waitress was great, owner was thoughtful and pleasant. We will definitely go back.

We saw the flyer in our room at our B&B. Worth the short drive. Nice staff. Great meal. Will definitely return whenever we come to Hermann!

Yes, this restaurant is off the beaten path, but the atmosphere was lovely and the menu had a nice variety. Thoughts: - it was a cool day and the fireplace was a nice touch, but the restaurant was uncomfortably cold - service wasn't quick, but may be not expected with this type of restaurant - the Caraway Soup was excellent!...

The location is really neat-off the beaten path, set back in the woods. The waitress said the menu had just recently changed. My husband and I frequent many restaurants and we would have to rate the food as average. My stuffed chicken was pretty bland, the same with my Alfredo pasta. The service was excellent!!

The Cottage just reopened yesterday under new ownership. The new decor was beautiful, the service fantastic and lunch was wonderful. The menu offers good variety in an atmosphere that would make you think you are in a small French Bistro. We can't wait to go back...this is our new favorite place.

My husband and I ate lunch at The Cottage while visiting Hermann for the Kristkindle Markt on December 8. It's a little way out of town, but the directions are good, and it's well worth the short drive. The chicken salad was very good, obviously homemade with big pieces of chicken combined wtih grapes, celery and pecans. My husband, a... More

Very good food with substantial portions. Worth the brief drive out of town and off the beating path. Was nice to see the owner interacting with the guests and making recommendations relative to the menu and specials. Good service and value!

Four of us had reservations at The Cottage last weekend. I ordered the stuffed pork tenderloin, which was tasteless, another ordered the prime rib, rare, but it came out well done; two others got the chicken, one white meat and one dark meat. They said the chicken had no flavor whatsoever. Tried a couple of desserts, same thing, nothing special... More
