    As always, the food was delicious, but the best part was our incredible server, Luke. He was incredibly attentive and never made us feel like a nuisance for kinda running him. We continued to praise and thank him, but he definitely earned and deserved the almost 40% tip I gave him!! Be sure to ask for Luke :-)

    Our service was excellent, the Chicken was not good at all. It was super dry with no flavor. Not sure what they changed.But not happy this time. Especially for the prices they're charging🙄

    The Mother's Day dinner buffet was outstanding. Prime rib perfect, done just right plus all the rest of the Zehnder's fare, noodles, stuffing, chicken, etc. Very noisy! Was seated promptly at reservation time. Enjoyed it very much!

    Zehnders has consistently excellent food. We got the family style chicken dinner -- as we always do and have for years and years. Everything was great, as usual!! Once in a while, their vegetables are not that good. The carrots, today, were great.

    Way too expensive for light eaters. They let us order from the lunch menu and it was cheaper and just the right amount of food for us. Good service. Food ok.

    I was not optimistic about this place due to negative reviews by locals. However, it was very good. Our server, Alex, was super friendly and accommodating. None of our party ordered the chicken, but bratwurst, prime rib, schnitzel and eggplant parm were excellent. Bread is wonderful and sides delicious. The building is lovely with many interesting things to look at. Also despite being very full it was not at all loud. I did take off one star for waiting to be seated but we were ten minutes early for our reservation and were seated right on time. Thank you Zehnder’s!
