Frau Kemmling's is the old Jacksonville Elementary School (built in 1908) that's recently been converted into a restaurant. The building renovations are well done & the restaurant atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. The staff was friendly and accommodating. They messed up our reservation but worked us into our own private room which worked out nicely. Our server had a great sense of humor and was very knowledgeable. We even put her to the test on pronouncing some of the menu items in German. Of course none of us speaks German so we wouldn't know the difference if she was BS'ing us or not but she was very convincing! The servers wore traditional German garb...we especially appreciated the male staff in their cute little lederhosen. The bathroom was one of my all time favorites. The color scheme is bright and cheery. It is very clean, in fact one of our dinner companions mentioned that it had obviously been tidied up and had paper products replaced while we were there. Frau's "badezimmer" had a very cool feature...the built-in cushioned seat. Very nice touch. There was a speaker in the ceiling piping in German music, also.

This bathroom is one of the few that is going to get a perfect score. Three full tp rolls for excellent cleanliness, decor, and comfort! Danke und auf wiedersehen!!
