"Ich war heute zum Mittagessen in dem Restaurant. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Ich hatte eine selbstgemachte Limonade [Birne mit Rosmarin] diese kann ich nur empfehlen. Zum essen hatte ich Ochsenbäckchen mit Klößen und Rotkohl. Das Fleisch war total zart. Das gesamte Gericht hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen!"

"Nettes Ambiente am Schloss Friedenstein und der Service ist ebenfalls sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Wir hatten Rinderroulade & Fisch bestellt. Die Roulade mit Klösen & Rotkraut war lecker. Etwas wenig Soße. Allerdings der Fisch & das Gemüse dazu waren komplett versalzen. Jeder Hobbykoch hätte dies abgeschmeckt im Vorfeld. Etwas Schade - in diesem Fall hat das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht gestimmt."

"A very nice restaurant as one can feel being in the Middle Age. Kitchen closes during certain hours in the afternoon. One can still have a drink and some cakes, but no proper food at those hours. Only negative side is, staff should be a bit kinder in my opinion."

"Wir waren zum Weihnachtsmarkt nach Gotha und Erfurt gekommen und unser 1. Abend führte uns ins Pagenhaus. Was soll ich sagen: könnte ich 10 Punkte vergeben würde ich 11 Punkte geben. Ein wunderbarer Abend in einem entzückenden Restaurant mit tollem Essen, toller (Weihnachts-) Athmosphäre und toller Service. Der Kellner ist sehr aufmerksam, war immer zur Stelle und das Bier lief immer. Das Essen war alles in allem ein Gedicht und das Wiener Schnitzel das Beste, was mein Sohn jemals gegessen hat. Der Gruß aus der Küche (Gänseschmalz mit frischem Baguette) war sehr aufmerksam und hat den herzlichen Empfang unterstrichen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! Obwohl wir aus dem Schwarzwald können ist das Pagenhaus einen Besuch wert. Wir wünschen der gesamten Mannschaft besinnliche Weihnachten und weiterhin so tolle Motivation."
