    It is a delight to have an authentic German bistro here in San Carlos. The experience transported me back to Stuttgart with its friendly welcome, warm pretzels, savory schnitzel, frankfurters, and of course, the beer and wine. We will undoubtedly return with friends and family to enjoy another special trip to Germany on Laurel Street.

    The veal in the Schnitzel tasted old and pretty tasteless, Service was excellent. Ambience very nice. Not very crowded.

    The beer selection was pretty good, service good, the food was ok but had better German food and a bit over priced compared to other German places we go. Very nice and friendly staff.

    Good menu with plenty of choices. The food was excellent and the service friendly and attentive. The portions are large enough to be split.
