Affare has a nice menu. I enjoyed the half trout, with changes made to accommodate my gluten and lactose sensitivity. It has pleasant seating, not too crowded. The service was okay.

I’ve long enjoyed this little gem. The owners (chef & manager) are amazing and bring their authentic German recipes with a creative twist. The ambiance is intimate with lovely artwork and furnishings. I enjoyed the Forelle unter Mandelkruste (aka trout, almond crust, caper butter, spinach Yukon Gold potatoes), and my friend ordered Jägerschnitzel, of which she raved. The trout was sublime. We shared a salad prior to the entree and don’t miss the warm pretzels and house-made dip prior. The staff from host to server is also excellent. A perfect evening!

Wish I had taken pictures. We had the Thursday night tasting menu with wine. Amazing food and the dessert course was one of the best I have ever had. Four courses, 3 wines $44. The best value in town. Service is always friendly and attentive
