This is a hidden treasure just off of California Avenue -it feels like you've made a quick trip to Europe. Service and food are excellent. Can't wait to return!

Top choice in Silicon Valley! The schnitzel and shpeatzle are always amazing! Service is wonderful.

We love this place! Excellent food, great service and really nice atmosphere. Very consistent experience every time we visit.
Opentable Diner
We came on a night when fewer than half the tables were occupied. Service seemed to depend on a single lady who was acting as host, server, and bartender. This resulted in an understaffing situation, and service was definitely slow. Our appetizer (spring rolls with melted brie inside) arrived just barely warm. It could be a kitchen error, or the staffing issue caused it to sit on the pass for too long. We ate it, but did let them know afterwards. Our entrees took a while to arrive, but they were hot. The eggplant lasagna was ok, but not spectacular. The lamb pasta was excellent. I had the Classic Wiener Schnitzel. It was humongous, and the meat was quite tender, but... The meat and breading were underseasoned, and in particular lacked salt. Adding salt to a breaded, deep-fried product does not achieve a solution. The schnitzel was presented with two lemon slices on top. Typically, I would use these to squeeze lemon juice on top. These slices, however, had been sitting on top of the hot, seasoned schnitzel and were soft and soggy, essentially useless. The side potato salad was mostly authentic, but just ok. Seasoning was also only so-so. At $45, this schnitzel seemed like an acceptable item, but where the size was a positive, the lack of seasoning and lemon slices detracted from its value. The situation was "handled" by providing a free dessert, the typical and cheapest way for any restaurant to offer some form of compensation. Overall, I would say that the experience did not provide that value commensurate with what we paid. This was our first time visiting, and we always provide a second chance. We will be back, but we expect better, or there will be no third chances.

Drinks and appetizers were delicious! Entrees very authentic; transported back to Austrian vacation by the potato salad.

So I was at this place a year ago and the food back then was really bad. Yes the place has improved but the inconsistencies is what kills the experience. Let's start from the top The pretzel is under baked and lacks its crunch. Also don't serve pretzels with queso . It doesn't go together. The sausage trio is nice but the sauerkraut and red cabbage are not. The sauerkraut gives you gas like there is no tomorrow, good sauerkraut doesn't. This happens when the sauerkraut isn't pickled long enough. The mussels were nice but the provencale sauce had nothing to do with provencale. Lacked herbs, garlic and spices
The trout was nice and the caper lemon sauce added a nice touch to it. The gulasch lacks depth and the spaetzle was an insult to the taste buds. Spaetzle need to be pan roasted after you pull them out of the water. They need to be crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. No sauce needed, the sauce comes with the meat dish and rounds out the gulasch. Don't try the Sacher torte as it's not a Sacher torte. It's a chewy chocolate sponge cake with apricot sauce but that is not Sacher.
The portions are large and the prices high. I suggest reduce the portion size and focus on the complete quality of every dish you serve up.
Excellent food! Excellent service! Beautiful ambiance! Very Welcoming! You will definitely be happy to spend your time there. Owner and the waiters are great down to earth people!……..

Delightful and delicious lunch with excellent service. They accommodated our request for separate plates so we could split a couple of dishes. Service was attentive without being intrusive. It was so pleasant to have some quiet classical music in the background while dining.

Call first to see if they are open. Note screenshot says open - 9pm. Got there at 2 or so and was told kitchen is closed. Fortunately there are a number of open restaurants in the immediate area.
