Thought the Dutch Garden would be nice to celebrate a birthday.
How wrong we were. For the $60.00 we spent, received the absolute worst Bratwurst ever, in house made by the Dutch Garden. The schnitzel bland. Other food so so. Servants were attentive. Cannot recommend the Dutch Garden

Worst $60.00 spent. Won't be back

I would say the food is average, but the service is extremely slow and the price is too high for what you get.

Just to inform you that the name Dutch is the English name for the language and the inhabitants of the Netherlands. They are called the Dutch, and the language spoken is Dutch. There is nothing Dutch about the food. It’s more traditional German food, so maybe rename the restaurant Deutsch.
And the language and culture are not the same.

The house-made bratwurst was savory and delicious. The borscht was silky and light. The German potato salad, carrots and sauerkraut were the perfect companions to round out the meal. The Jaeger Schnitzel is also a crowd-pleaser. The rich mushroom gravy really sets it apart.

Really some of the best German fair I’ve had. Better than Solvang, better than places I’ve been to in Germany. Got the pretzel, the schnitzel and the Bratwurst. The beer selection is very good and the staff very friendly and attentive . Atmosphere is very relaxing with plenty of seating indoors outdoors and bar seating

Everything about this place makes me want to go back.. especially the pretzels and the cheese butter. Very amazing stuff. I got the Max Strommer which is an open faced ham sammich with an egg on top of sourdough and Swiss variety. And of course a beer. Definitely going again, and understand why locals want this to themselves.
