      Sorry I don't remember our waitress's name but she was fabulous. We always enjoy going to restaurant. Try to go at least once a month. It is my husband's favorite restaurant.

      We found the traditional goulash a bit spicy. The cheese strudel with thick cream was delicious. Overall it was a very pleasant dining experience.

      We love Grunauer! We brought family members who had not experienced Grunauer in for the first time! They loved everything about the experience! Thank you Grunauer for backing up our excitement about you! Our server was so good and knowledgeable! I wish I could remember her name! 😊 John and Victoria Whipple
