My first time dining experience was excellent! Food was delicious, waitstaff very attentive and friendly. Me and my daughter loved the atmosphere and we were lucky to come in while live Polish band was playing. Such a fun place with great food. Must try is definitely German chocolate cake😋 We will be back soon for sure!
Honestly, we have coming to the East Side since 1979…always awesome. Post Covifwe have been there 5 times, the last being June 29, 2024 for a birthday celebration. The venue and the wait staff were awesome, our meals were not so ( there were 6 of us) The saurbraten was tough, the prime rib was way overdone, and the dinner salad was missing several items. And their Schnitzels are no longer offered with veal. This is not the old East Side…sorry to say
Fun fun experience
Good beer selection
