German term or phrase:Unterseestube
Festsaal mit Unterseestube
Who can give me a snappy description for the above. Without seeing it or being able to talk to the client I do not know whether the water is visible. my own rendition would be snuggery protruding under the lake but I really do look forward to hearing some more hip alternatives.
Thanks.
Explanation: Not apparent from the context given but from the illustrations on the website.
Alternatively Untersee parlour. Old-fashioned I know, but so is Stube.
underwater dining (or tavern, or whatever they serve there)
Explanation: See photo. I've never heard of such a thing, and you can't see from the photo what's outside the windows--but if it's under the water, it's under the water!
(I've never heard of a snuggery. It may be used in BE, and I see that it has existed in English since 1809 or so. But I venture to guess that no American will know what it is.)

I just noticed that the price list refers to Festsaal and Unterseestube separately, and then as a combination deal. So the Unterseestube is not a Festsaal, but something smaller, as the photo shows.
That said, Siegfried is undoubtedly right about the Untersee being part of the Bodensee (which I didn't know).
