      If you want to go somewhere for a special event Grunauer is the place! The food is delicious and the service is always outstanding. Our server Anthony was really something extra, and we greatly enjoyed the offerings for Restaurant Week.

      Wonderfully authentic Austrian/ German food. Good service considering it was restaurant week. Shocked there was no salt or pepper on tbe table, nor an offer for fresh ground pepper, German must!

      Went for restaurant week. Set Dinner menu was very good, 3 courses was just enough food and all selections were very tasty. Definitely will go back to try out full menu.

      Had a wonderful lunch, not crowded at all yesterday. I had the Schwammerlgulasch, a great dish to have on a cold and dreary January day.
