   Food was amazing and service too. Angel was our server and was excellent. Beef cheeks and schnitzel were the best I’ve ever had. The fish (sea bream) was fine, but too heavily crusted— so much so that one lost the taste of the fish. Appetizers and sides and deserts were also great.

   This is a great place to get something different. Our go to is Steak or Sushi, occasionally Mexican or Italian, and it was getting a bit tired eating the same things. This place is completely different, yet very simple. My mom is from Germany, so Lustig brought back great memories from my childhood when mom used to cook for us or even better, when Oma used to cook for the holidays! My husband is a really picky eater, so he normally will pick one dish and get that every time he goes to a specific restaurant. This time he was saying he wanted to come back to try other dishes (particularly the Schnitzel). The cocktails are phenomenal as well. My husband got the Sachertorte Old Fashioned, he always tries the old fashioned at every bar we go to... he loved this one. If you read the description it sounds like the drink will overwhelmingly taste like Chocolate. In my opinion, it's kind of like wine where there are tasting notes and aromas that create the overall experience, but even if you're not a chocolate person, you will still like this! I had the non-alcoholic Seaberry Buck, but got it spiked with vodka... that is a flavor bomb, so tasty! Think Moscow Mule, but with a tropical refreshing twist. Kevin, the bartender, was really helpful in describing the cocktails and also helping us select what we would order for dinner. We started with the Hamachi Crudo (amazing), very light and refreshing. Then we did the Crispy Garden Salad. Again, this was so much better than can be described on a menu! Finally, we had the 12h Braised Beef Cheek with Herb Spätzle (egg noodles). Besides the savory fall flavors being a perfect comfort food dish, this is great choice if you need to take out or reheat for left overs! Mike our server was great and he steered us toward a wine that was perfect with our eclectic meal. The Chef came out to check on us as well, which was really nice to get hear some of his backstory. Overall we highly recommend this restaurant, it checks all the boxes!

   We loved it! The schnitzel is made well and the appetizers were delicious. Ambiance of the restaurant is pleasant. We met the chef, he was kind enough to greet us and ensure we were having a wonderful meal. Can’t wait to go back and try more items on the menu I!

   Lustig provided a lovely dining experience. Jake, our server, was excellent: attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and gave great wine rec’s. The food is truly special. You can taste how much love and care is put into each dish. It’s a chef-inspired restaurant with beautiful decor, I recommend everyone goes and checks it out.

   A bit pretentious. Not warm and cozy. Dont like having to leave a credit card for a reservation. No salt and pepper shakers, had to ask for them to grate salt and pepper and leave a bit on the table. Have to order everything at once. I like to order an app then decide. They dont want that. Wiener schnitzel was excellent. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Perfect. Venison special was very good, but very small portion for the price. Sides of red cabbage and Broccolini were fair. nothing special. and $ 15 for 3 rolls of bread was outrageous. Bread should be complimentary, especially for such a small amount. Service was very good, but again, dont like having to order their way. Very pricy for what you get.

   Surprisingly great restaurant. Menu items seem unfamiliar and difficult to imagine from the descriptions but be confident that everything is great and the waitstaff will guide you well.
