    Loved finding this restaurant! We ended up going to Antlers on the other side of the restaurant. My husband and I with our friends had a wonderful time. From the hostess to the food and service / ambiance was amazing! Would def recommend! PS: Make sure to call them if interested in the game meat specialities menu that are not sold on the pepis menu so be careful. They have 2 timeslots 6:30 and 8:15pm.

    Excellent Bavarian menu with some more innovative pasta and fish options. Restaurant is cozy with a modern Alpine flair. We dined near the end of the season, but there was no lag in service nor attention. The salmon pasta was light and summery and the schnitzel cooked to perfection, served with classic lingonberry jam.
