A really nice surprise in a small town, easily worth the trip. German flair food seasoned well. Just a note, pizza isn't traditional, no mozzarella cheese, and the dough is flatbread, but my wife really enjoyed the Swiss cheese and spinach. The prices were very good. The owner chatted with us and was very personable, made the meal even better. I highly recommend the beef stew, it's a special for the winter, I also recommend finding this gem.

I can’t really do justice to how special this place is. Simple and surprising…
We started with a flammküchen and cocktails, then had pork schnitzel and spätzle with short rib and two glasses of wine. These two entrees were the best version of either I’ve ever had. I’m sorry to give such outlandish praise - it contradicts the simplicity and humility of the place. Our bill was $108. Worth the drive in if you’re from out of town.

I was pleasantly surprised about the authenticity of the food. It was very delicious and good portions (not too much but not too little). A very nice atmosphere and a knowledgeable and gracious host. We will definitely come back again and try another menu item.

Last week we dined here for the first time , we were back with friends a week later!!! It was that good.....Chris, the owner is multi-talented from the kitchen to picking up an instrument playing for his patrons!!!! And then there is his personality and professionalism...just having opened another food establishment working on a third!!! Can't wait for it to open as I'm sure it's going to be just as fabulous!!! If you haven't benn yet, do yourself a favor and get there...but make a reservation as it is small and very popular

A really cool, quirky spot with excellent food. The chef and server are super helpful navigating unfamiliar dishes and the menu will ensure each visit is a unique experience. They also have a nice selection of German beers.

We stopped in Elsasser’s Beim 111 tonight on our way to the Fort Salem theater. The restaurant was awesome. Food and service were terrific! We loved the atmosphere. The owner Chris was a blast! We even got to hear him play a trumpet solo. I would highly recommend this establishment! I will definitely be going again!

The food was delicious! The atmosphere was very quaint and nice. The owner very social! The entrance was hard to find .. the door is blacked out. But once inside a pleasant time. Will definitely visit again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to this lovely German restaurant in Greenwich NY. The sauerbraten and schnitzel were fabulous along with absolutely delicious side dishes of red cabbage and spaetzle. There is a nice selection of cocktails and .prices are very reasonable. We will return soon !
Food was superb and so was the service. Delightful ambiance.Couldn’t be any better!

Elsassers is on our repeat list - which is saying something given the preponderance of bar food in and around Saratoga. We appreciated that they continue to offer dishes from Alsace and Swabia - and have stuck with it.
The flammkuchen is really hard to beat. Each time we visit we try a different topping. Paired with a salad (or have the salad as the topping), and you have a sweet meal. We love spätzel and can recommend the various types (spinach, mushroom…). Finally, the serving sizes are not overwhelming. Leaves room for beer and/or dessert!!
The dining room is cozy and not too loud for conversation. It is reminiscent of dining rooms in southern Germany and eastern France. If you are dining alone, sit in the bar room and join the merriment!
Staff is helpful and prices are reasonable.

Went for birthday celebration. Was expecting more Alsatian choices. Very limited menu. Food seemed pre made and heated up. Schnitzel was awful thin and dry. Spaetzle was gummy and seemed reheated. The place was absolutely filthy. A deep coating of dust on the piano, huge cobwebs all over the window areas that literally connected to the piano. I wanted to leave but my friend was treating me to lunch. I wasn’t going to write a review but here it is. Do better when you’re representing a heritage / regional food. This was not it.

Food was delicious and the service perfect. What a wonderful way to escape the crowds of Saratoga!! Authentic and unique atmosphere at the same time. The flammies are a must for an appetizer, light and so flavorful. We will be back.
