    Typically we love going to places like this; rich with history and recipes that have stood the test of time. When we arrived the host seemed panicked that he couldn’t find our reservation, but after speaking with someone, he finally seated us. We had a cozy corner table that had a views of the neighboring park. We ordered wine and an old fashioned- great drinks. Our server was Veronica and she was awesome; high energy, explained everything and very attentive. We ordered the chicken livers as an appetizer, because those are tough to find on a menu and always one of our favorites. When she brought them to the table, they had an odd smell to them and looked unappealing. My husband took one bite and his face said it all. We returned them to the kitchen. Our soup was absolutely delicious; a cream of broccoli with mushrooms. My husband ordered the filet, butterflied with a baked potato. I ordered one of the specials - stuffed shrimp with crab in a lemon butter sauce and mashed potatoes, no gravy. My husband liked his and saved half for home. My mashed potatoes were cold, not even butter would melt in them. There were what appeared to be 4 stuffed shrimp on the plate, but the shrimp were minute and it was mostly stuffing. For $40 I would have expected much better quality in a dish. Overall, the food was mediocre at best, but Veronica was a great server.

    Delish Valentines day meal -- I took the famed whitefish and as usual it was superb while my partner took the full rack of ribs and found it very tasty, tender with a good rub. Service was a bit slow at our table for some reason - as tables nearby turned over 2 times! - but it was not a deal breaker as we enjoyed the time to chat and never felt rushed out despite the waitlist of people and the onset of blizzard that evening. The guys busing the table were on spot with water refills and extra garlic chips! The meal was accompanied by tankards of Pandle Brau - their specialty beer - a great evening!

    Love this place! Been going since I was a child, but the quality of the food has significantly declined. The Wiener schnitzel was tiny and not pounded, and there was more red cabbage than veal. Sad to see the quality of this beloved restaurant slip.

    Everything was wonderful and we look forward to returning. The only slightly negative comment is that our server was a little over solicitous and that became a little annoying.

    Wonderful service and lunch. Cozy atmosphere. We were encouraged to stay as long as we wanted. Of course the building does need a remodel. — handicapped accessibility? Larger and updated bathrooms? New carpeting and window treatments?

    We got there earlier than our reservation, so we sat at the bar for a while. The bartender was very engaging and we had great conversation. We sat early, it was Saturday evening and they weren't very busy. The server was very attentive and cheerful. They meals were great, I had the Weiner Schnitzel, my wife had the beef rouladen. Of the three German restaurants in the area we have been to, this was by far the best rouladen (Per Mrs.) and her dad was a German chef so she knows her rouladen.

    excellent service as usual. The food overall was very good. I was not excited about the prime rib special. It was undercooked and covered in gravy. A good prime rib should stand on its own with juice on the side.
