The place was perfect for that at the time we were there. It was quiet, we had an alcove for our group and the woman working with us was great.

I ordered tha Paella and although it was dry, the seafood and rice was fresh and well prepared. I would recommend the chef add a bit of a white wine with garlic and a touch of butter to moisten the dish...then it would be perfect!!!

We've heard so many good things from alot of different people. The food (German) was outstanding. The Jagerschnitzel was the best and the sauetbraten superb. The beer selection wss fantastic and the service was good. Not cheap ($177 for four adults and one child), but definitely worth it. We can't wait to go back.
