"Waren da, haben einmal Pasta Carbonara, Sauerfleisch und Salate mit Thunfisch. Die Portionen waren SEHR groß aber Preis ist eigentlich gar nicht hoch. Alles war sehr lecker und die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich. Wir sind voll zufrieden."

"Nach einem Jahr Pause waren wir in 2023 wieder auf Sylt. Unser erstes Abendessen haben wir dieses Jahr gleich im sonnigen Süden in Hörnum verbracht. Es war wie heimkommen. Wir wurden total lieb begrüßt. Wie heimkommen. Das Essen war jedes Mal sehr lecker. Die Fischgerichte super lecker, auf den Punkt genau richtig. Bratkartoffeln mega schmackhaft. Die Senf Sosse zum Pannfisch ein Gedicht, ebenso die Weißwein Sosse zum Fisch Teller. Wir waren sehr gerne hier zum Essen. Freundlich und zuvorkommend wurden wir bedient. Der Abschied ist uns wirklich sehr schwer gefallen. Ich kann das Restaurant nur weiterempfehlen"

"Gemütlicher Gastraum und windsichere Terrasse, welche an heißen Tagen per elektrischer Markise beschattet wird. Ideal, um eine/n der leckeren, selbstgebackenen Torte/Kuchen mit einer der Kaffee- oder Teevarianten zu genießen. Die Speisekarte ist ausreichend an Auswahl von gutschmeckenden Vorspeisen, Hauptgerichten und Desserts. Ob es alle Gerichte auch zum Abholen gibt, ist mir unbekannt, zumindest gibt es die leckeren Pizzen, bis zu einer bestimmten Uhrzeit, zum Abholen. Die bedienenden Damen sind stets freundlich und machen diesen Ort besonders. Es ist NUR BARZAHLUNG möglich."

"Vorweg, wir können die negativen Bewertungen keinesfalls nachvollziehen oder bestätigen. Wir sind viele Jahre immer gerne in den Sonnigen Süden gegangen. Leider sind wir seit 2021 nicht mehr auf der Insel gewesen. Erst jetzt im Februar 2026, waren wir nach 5 Jahren endlich mal wieder auf Sylt und somit auch im Sonnigen Süden. Was soll ich sagen: Das Essen war wie immer super, Service und Freundlichkeit ebenso. Das Restaurant war penibel sauber mit gemütlichem Ambiente. Wir waren als Familie mit unserer 7 Jährigen Tochter zu Gast und hatten zu keinem Zeitpunkt das Gefühl, das Kinder hier nicht erwünscht sind. Ebenso waren Gäste mit Hunden im Lokal, welche auch sehr freundlich behandelt wurden. Wir würden jederzeit wieder in den Sonnigen Süden gehen. Bis zum nächsten Mal"

"Wir waren zum Kuchenessen dort – sehr lecker! Spontan fragten wir, ob wir an Silvester noch einen Tisch für 7 Personen bekommen könnten, was problemlos geklappt hat. Schön dekoriert, sehr nette Bedienung und super Essen zu fairen Preisen. Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Vielen Dank!"
