The Reibekuchen and Fried Brussels Sprouts were outstanding as was the Leek and Mushroom Soup. The Salmon and Chicken Schnitzel were done perfectly. For dessert we had Strudel and Cheese Cake.

The food was delicious, albeit on the pricey side - an order of fries for $14?! I’m thankful the portions are sizeable as I’ll be getting almost a 2nd meal out of my order (chicken cordon bleu). Pricing aside, the waitstaff seemed distracted - it took a while for our order to be taken; the wait for the food was fine and it came out nice and hot. But no one asked how the food was, if we needed anything, etc. for the rest of the night. I suspect more drinks might have been ordered, perhaps a slice or two of pie, etc. Overall a nice time with good food. Just be prepared to flag someone down every time you need something.
