Alpentragödie
It’s entirely tragic that this is what’s representing “Alpine Hut” grub in Portland. The schnitzel is under-seasoned, fondue is a fondon’t, and menu items are over-priced for what you get.
We got the trio of salads and also found each one of them bland/underwhelming.
Schnitzel was on the bone and not at all tender. They should’ve pounded the meat flat and used salt. Very small portion for the price.
Service was sloppy. Our fondon’t came out with our main supper and our friend’s burger didn’t come out until 25 minutes after every everyone else’s came out (removed burger charge without asking).
No rösti on the menu only fueled my disdain. Guess this ain’t supposed to be a hut in the SWISS Alps…

The fondue was incredible. The pork schnitzel was a bone in pork chop. A schnitzel is boneless, pounded thin, breaded and pan fried. Iykyk

Such a beautiful experience dining here. The atmosphere was incredibly cozy and welcoming, the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable settling into. Every dish was outstanding, thoughtful, flavorful, and clearly made with so much care. What truly elevated the evening was the team. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely, creating an experience that felt both special and effortless. Already looking forward to coming back.

We had a reservation for 6:30 PM on a Sunday. The restaurant was fairly empty when we got there but probably half full by the time we left around 8 pm. Despite being seemingly slow when we arrived, service was still really slow, cold, and forgetful. Not sure our server smiled at us even once, he seemed pretty disinterested in our experience, and seemed to forget our drinks for a while. At the end we saw at the bottom of the check that there is an automatic 20% gratuity included. I am service industry and am not at all opposed to included gratuities, but in that case the service should be much better than it was. Truthfully the only nice employee we came across was the woman running the food.
For the food, we ordered the Bavarian pretzel, venison tartare, paprika schnitzel, and bavette steak. The pretzel and schnitzel were AWESOME. The tartare was tasty, but chopped very thick and unevenly, making it hard to spread across the bread. The bavette steak was a little tough and had huge dices of leeks that almost took away from the flavor of the steak and goulash sauce.
We didn’t order dessert because we didn’t want to have to deal with our server any longer, truthfully.
After all this I still may return to try out breakfast, just out of curiosity.

Got the chef's flight. Great staff, great service, good selections, and pacing of the flight. Would highly recommend for a date or if you are indecisive and want to be taken care of. Can't wait to come back and try more!!
Food was good, drinks were good, the restaurant itself looks cool and thematic.
The service was terrible. Took forever to get a server to take our orders, took forever for our food to arrive, and even longer for the check to finally come at the end of the meal. Completely ruined the experience.
Loved the food, and the staff were attentive and kind even during a busy holiday. They did a great job, we will be back.
My husband and I really enjoyed this restaurant. The outdoor seating was covered and warm, and they offer light blankets and pillows if you’re worried about getting cold. We tried the small fondue and would agree with other reviews that it definitely has a strong boozy flavor. We also shared the Bavarian pretzel, which was great. Our favorite dish was the maiale tonnato, a pork belly dish that was incredibly flavorful and unique. These portions ended up being a good amount for two people, and we didn’t feel the need to order any main entrées though we are excited to try those next time.

Food was good, but the service was atrocious. We ordered the Tour of the Alps. We got appetizers and a salad fine, then they must have forgotten about us, because it took them 40 minutes and three reminders to get us our fondue. By that time we were over it and got the main and dessert to go.
This was a lovely find. The brunch had the German/Swiss vibe with Rosti, cheese, sausages and pretzels. It was great service and a nice feeling inside. We'll be back!

Staff were lovely, food was good! They gave us good recommends and service was fast! Would go again!
Little expensive, but very tasty. The menu really expects you to know a lot of non-english words and types of cheese/sausage so you may need to look up various things to understand the menu well.

Cozy and cute place. Very nice staff and amazing interior design! I loved the woodsy open vibe.
I had omlete for breakfast which was ok. Maybe 3/5. We also had a potato hash dish which was really great, 5/5
