| - What a welcome alternative of cuisine this was for us!
Amazing where life takes you at times. We found ourselves in the area without a vehicle thanks to ours getting a flat tire today. Too icy to walk around where we ended up so a business across the road had recommended this restaurant to us. Upon looking at it, one could be quite certain due to its name that it is something similar to German but you would not know how quaint it is inside until you go in!
It was not too busy initially but almost a full house it was when we left. That has got to say something!
This is a family run business with the emphasis on Austrian food. Normally, I would not choose to come here unless invited as I usually love my food to be bold, spicy and in your face. But, fate ruled, this is where we ate and I am so glad for it!
The owner was our server and host - she could not have been more kind, welcoming, thoughtful or intuitive of our needs.
Wine was needed on a this hectic day and the house red (Castillo) was fantastic at $10 a glass. We had to take a cab home so what the hell, I had 2 glasses. Hubby had Dab, an Austrian beer that he had never had before and loved it, said it was nice and light.
We ordered the Haus schnitzel with fries for him ($24) and I got the traditional wiener schnitzel ($21). Mine, pounded ever so thin was larger than the plate (pic to follow!) and I got fries and salad served on the side. Man, the food was good here. I can never eat a whole plate of food, but I did on this date! The fries were perfectly golden and the salad was interesting in a good way. Purple cabbage, potato salad with dill, lettuce, coleslaw, cukes, all in one little bowl. The pork schnitzel was so good with lemon wedges. The breading is very simple, just bread crumbs (the meat is seasoned, not the breadcrumbs), but done right. All of the food coming out of the kitchen looked SO good! Hubby`s pork was not quite as pounded out as mine and was stuffed with Swiss cheese, ham and fresh mushrooms!
The water for the table (no charge!) had an herbal flavour to it - it was like a basil or mint leaf in it, something like that.
I love family run businesses and this place was just so out of the ordinary for us, it was a welcome change!
We opted to not have dessert but we devoured the little Swiss chocolates that came before the bill! The owner even called our cab for us!
4.5 stars. I would change the music in here but that is about it!
