During my trip to Switzerland, we stayed a night at Interlaken. While there, we ate dinner at Restaurant Des Alpes, which is a half open-air restaurant, with lovely views of the alps surrounding Interlaken on all sides. It was raining and cloudy, but the views were still spectacular. We sat under a canopy under the rain - it was amazing.
The restaurant had a company of yodelers with alpine horns, who were quite fun. They perfectly complemented the huge tankard of beer I was handed!
On to food: we had a veggie lasagna, which was ok. And a Prosciutto pizza.... what a pizza! Very soft, thin crust, very light cheese, some tomato, fresh prosciutto and a sprinkling of oregno. The first pizza in years on which I didn't put even a drop of tabasco, or a single red pepper! I wish I could eat it once each week. Pizza dreams....

I patronized the restaurant w/two friends. The server was not good about checking our table, so as he was walking away from the table next to us, she asked him if he would bring her the chili sauce for her pizza? He indicated he would as he scurried off. He then, abruptly, plopped Tobasco Sauce down on the table and scurried off again. She called after him, stating that she wanted the chili sauce, not Tobasco, and he responded very rudely, "That's all we have!" She told him that it was not, as she'd already seen the chili sauce being carried by another server. Eventually, he returned with the proper sauce but never returned to our table. I attempted to explain to the owner what had transpired and he interrupted with each attempt, stating that they were busy. My friend attempted to explain, and he continued to so the same. I asked him if he was at all interested in the details of our complaint, and he stated that he was not. In summary: the service was the worst ever, while professionalism and courteousness were non-existent.
Ouch, that is a horrible experience. I guess given the number of tourists coming through their restaurant, the staff there really don't care about service at all. Its not very Swiss of them at all...
