"Absolutely delicious food with amazing service!! The ambiance is top notch and staff is friendly! A great experience if you want a real German style meal!!"

"Went here for my 18th birthday with a party of 13. They accommodated amazingly and had great service. The general consensus around the table was that the food was great, just not my personal favorite cuisine, but nonetheless it was good. Great atmosphere, outdoor and indoor seating, and great staff. Definitely recommend checking it out!"

"If you love German Food ...this is it. Five choices of sausages for the Wurst Plate that comes with crispy potato cake and braised white Bavarian cabbage and honey mustard..Oh My! Thought I died and went to heaven! The warmth of home came over me....Fabulous beer and the Mulled Wine..love it!!!"

"It is beautiful inside, and the staff is very friendly. The appetizers were really good, but the dinner menu left a bit to be desired. We had the crispy pork knuckles, and the Saurbraten. Personally I would caution against the pork knuckles, we don't know if it was just bad or if this is what to expect from this dish. The external portion tasted good, but inside did not. It was a very pungent pig flavor. The Sauerbraten was decent, but kind of bland. This was also a first, so I didn't have any expectations. It was not bad, but I would try something else if I go again Definitely try the Bavarian pretzel! This was probably the highlight of the evening for us. Tasted great. We also tried the some type of blood sausage plate, it was very interesting and some unique flavors that I wouldn't mind trying again. Be certain to carefully monitor your receipt, I didn't and was charged for a glass of wine we didn't have. I attempted to contact the restaurant to resolve if possible (half way my fault for not checking, but it still sucks..) but haven't gotten a response after a couple weeks. Other than that, the experience overall seemed to be about 50/50. I am definitely willing to give it another shot."

"We came here on a lark because it was right next door to my appointment location and I am so glad we chose this restaurant! The atmosphere is lovely, a mix of casual and sophisticated. The workers are very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious! The presentation of the plates and drinks is lovely and the portion sizes are large. Slightly expensive but so worth the money. I would definitely come back here!!"
