The food was a little disappointing. It lacked flavor although the mashed potatoes were fluffy and tasted good. The servers were friendly.

Went in for lunch, the girl behind the counter was in power down mode and took a couple of minute to come out of the daydream.

On asking for a table, she then yawned aloud and muttered something under the yawn.

We walked out. Awful first impression.

A bit of a divey, diner-y place, but all the food was surprisingly great!

We went in to just have a glass of wine. We decided to go to a tasting room instead. We apologized. We later returned for dinner. We said hi we are back, we went to a tasting room first. The host did not acknowledge us, look at us, or say a word. After showing us to a table she walked away without a word. When she past our table on the way to the kitchen, again not a word , offer of water or anything. We walked out, and will never return.

Worst food I’ve had in a long time. I ordered the schnitzel zero flavor, chicken was very hard, steamed vegetables tasted frozen, and the mashed potatoes were clearly from a box. Paying $29.95 for this was painful.

My friend ordered the same dish and ended up with a stomachache and vomiting.

My husband’s cheeseburger was just as bad dry, tasteless meat and frozen fries.

Now I understand why this place only has 3 stars.
Nice customer service and a homey place, but the food is terrible.

Worst of the worst. Stay away.

We went there & ordered food but they didn’t deliver food properly. After talking to one of the server she was nice & didn’t charge that particular food.

We ordered the danish combo and were disappointed. Food was barely warm when served and had the appeal of cafeteria lunches.

My 1st and most delicious Schnitzel 😋 The anchovies capers and lime add a delicious flavor to it.

Went in the week between Christmas and New Years.
Service: The hostess was essentially turning people away, telling people it was a 30-40 minute wait, then calling names 5 minutes later. Many tables were wide open. Maybe they were short staffed but tables moved quickly enough with the staffing on the floor and the kitchen.

Food: I got the meatball plate, which was two under flavored and toufh medium sized pork meat alls with mashed potatoes and pickled cabbage. For $30. I was underwhelmed by the flavors and portions for that cost. My party also got the French dip and schnitzel; both underwhelming. We did try the Abelskivers which were warm and delicious.

The atmosphere is nice. It was a busy day in town so there was a wait.
The portions were small for the cost. 4 meatballs, a scoop of mashed potatoes, a small portion of cabbage ( which was delicious!) for $27.00.
Might be worth trying somewhere else in town.

Not good. Waited 45 min for food and it was sub par. Substitutions were made w/o notification. Meat was overcooked. The meatball meal came with three tiny meatballs. There were 8 of us so I know that can be hard but the rr wasn’t packed. And they were out of Eableskivers! Waitress was sweet and took off 10% which was not enough to make up for the bad experience. It still cost us $200.
