"Abbiamo cenato in questo Ristorante con una compagnia di circa 10 persone. Un “filetto” tipico del luogo farcito con del formaggio appenzellese. Squisiti tutti i piatti serviti, cucina saporita, fine, con ingredienti di qualità e freschi. Ottima la proposta di menu. Ambiente molto accogliente e personale molto gentile. Ritornerò con piacere. piacevole serata"

"Spontanes Mittagessen im Ochsen auf der tollen Terrasse. Wunderbare Aussicht auf den Bodensee und die grünen Wiesen. Das Essen war sehr sehr lecker, die Pommes dazu Spitzenklasse. Wir waren heute das erste Mal im Ochsen, aber bestimmt nicht das letzte Mal. Danke für die sehr nette Bewirtung."
