As a surrogate German, I approve. The menu is a bit more Eastern European rather than true Deutsche but it’s awesome. I went with your basic schnitzel with spaetzle which I think they make in house. They could do better with the red sauerkraut recipe. All exactly what you would expect in the foothills of Bavaria, with the German biers on tap. It’s got a good vibe, the service really try’s to make you feel appreciated and it was a great experience. And Oktoberfest is coming up!
A very nice Bavarian restaurant with an excellent snitzel selection. The service is friendly and they have a nice list of harder to find German beers on tap. It is a tad pricy and you are looking about 35- 50 dollars per person.
I ordered Alps Kaspaten for delivery, and all I can say is WOW! I've never had this dish before, so I don't have a basis of comparison. But it's like a unique twist on the best Mac and Cheese I've ever had. It was amazing! So flavorful and yummy! It's very rich, so I have plenty for left overs for several days. But I'll definitely get this again. I also ordered a side of olives and they were really good and a nice surprise was that they were all pitted. I was underwhelmed by the Apple Strudel. It was tasty, but came cold. I'm guessing that in the restaurant they would heat it up. I'm sure it would be much better that way. But I'm willing to overlook that and will be dining here again based on the main dish. I can't wait to try their other dishes.
Food was solid. As others have said, it's not solely German - there's an array of Eastern European dishes on the menu, along with the schnitzel and spaetzle.
My only wish is that the outdoor benches were a little more comfortable. They're kinda small and snug for an adult sized person. Gets kinda cozy inside and really would prefer to sit outdoors.
What an amazing spot. Not fancy but great atmosphere. The service was so awesome...any weird requests we made were greeted with a smile and a "happy to do it". The cucumber salad was so flavorful and fresh tasting. The beet salad was huge and so yummy, generous amounts of feta and beets and walnuts. We totally changed the sides and sauces with our schnitzel orders with no problem or eye rolling. The schnitzels we got aren't the platter size ones you sometimes get, but so flavorful and the lemon caper sauce, the mushroom sauce and the cranberry sauce were all great additions to the pork schnitzel we ordered. If you are confused about "ripped" potatoes on the menu... don't think...just get them! Wanted to add to my review ..the kraut was more like cooked cabbage...not as vinegary as we expected...also the onion rings at the next table looked amazing!
