    The atmosphere of this restaurant was amazing, we were absolutely blown away. The selection of German bier and wine was solid and the menu was extensive. We shared the wurst platter as an appetizer and it was incredible, my husband, who lived in Germany for several years said it was the best he had ever eaten. The complimentary bread basket that came with our meal had a rye roll, a brochen roll and a warm pretzel with cheese, we couldn’t believe this was complimentary. Our entrees came with choice of soup or salad. The cream of mushroom soup was delicious (but very rich!) and the side salad was nicely dressed, try the warm bacon and mustard dressing. Now for the disappointment, the schnitzel cordon blue and spatzele were not good. The schnitzel was very dry and lacked taste. The spatzele also had no taste (oddly it was orange?). I don’t think the color had anything to do with the lack of taste but it made for a disappointing entree. We will absolutely go back but next time we will try a different entree. Note: the portions are very generous, sharing is a good idea.
