Disclaimer: We had a very terrible taxi ride over to schanz, which may have skewed our enjoyment. The Mosel region needs to get its act together and get better transportation services.
Overall, the food was very good, but there were some misses. Some of the canapé courses had too much acidity and not enough balance. One of the fish courses was slightly overcooked. There were some amazing dishes, though, particularly the venison dish and all of the desserts. The desserts at schanz were some of the most creative and beautifully plated we've ever seen.
Service was decent, but the wine service needs work for diners who purchase bottles instead of having the pairings. The sommelier was way too busy with the pairings, which we understand, but there may be should be two sommeliers? We had to pour our own wine multiple times and had to keep track of the temperature as the servers kept wanting to put an already ice cold bottle in the ice bucket. The biggest issue came when the last of the bottle was poured half-hazardally into an already pretty full glass, which resulted in a lot of residual sugar crystals in the glass. It basically ruined the glass of wine.
Overall, we think this place is a decent two star, but there were quite a few misshaps that shouldn't happen at a three star restaurant.
