Took my German client to this amazing restaurant and she was blissful! I’ve been many times and try to share this phenomenal dining experience with others whenever possible. High quality ingredients, all dishes are made to order and fresh and hot and delicious, generous portions and the bread is to die for! The server was delightful and so was the gentleman running the front. I can’t say enough good things! Go, enjoy!

Sehr lecker! The food was amazing, the beer was great, and the environment was warm and authentic. It was just a long wait for food that night (60+ min or so).

So delicious!!! Came here on a recommendation and they did not disappoint! We knew we could have to wait outside for a table so were prepared to face the elements. Totally worth the wait. It definitely felt like we found a wonderful secret spot. The schnitzel was sooo good, we had the day's special, and god bless the German chocolate cake!! Cold beer, cozy environment and friendly and attentive staff.
