  • This small place which is BYOB and accepts credit cards is located in the basement of the Venetia Post Office around the backside facing the Railroad tracks. This place has fewer than ten tables, and accepts reservations for parties of 5 or more. The overall feel of the restaurant is somewhat divey -- the dirty and missing ceiling tiles don't help the decor. You come here for the food, not the ambiance. The service I found friendly but full of excuses. "I only work here one day a week." Or "This is my second job." Friendly or not, I just don't buy the rationalization that somehow it's acceptable to deliver borderline service. The waiter had to come back and clarify what we ordered a couple times because he couldn't read this writing. He couldn't identify which 'wurst was which. In a German restaurant. 'nuff said. The menu is large, consisting of mostly German and Italian dishes. There are also sandwiches, which were very reasonably priced. The overall prices were reasonable, but the portions were on the small side. The VALUE of everything seems just odd -- somethings are a great deal, and somethings are overpriced. We had three appetizers: the sausage and poblano peppers, which was tasty, the potato pancakes also good, and the fried zucchini which was a big thumbs down. The long triangular cut zucchini weren't cooked long enough to soften them, and the breading barely adhered to the vegetable. I MUCH prefer the thinner sliced and lightly fried zucchini at a place like Franco's in Dormont. The entrees were good, including the previously-mentioned-too-hard-to-identify "Wurst case scenario", three worsts. I chose it over sauerkraut with red cabbage on the side. The sides were very good in general. The ultimate sampler, which we chose the schnitzels and the pork loin were very good, but again small portion sized for the price. The Jaegerschnitzel with mushroom sauce was by far the best thing I tasted off of their menu and I would order it again. When we asked for bread, they took a loaf of generic white bread out of the freezer, defrosted it in the microwave, and served us that. Surely they can do better than that! While I'd like to give this place four stars, I just can't bring myself to do it. The service (strike one), the ambiance (strike two), the inconsistent food quality(strike three), and questionable value(strike four) just has too many problems for a four-star restaurant. The majority of the flavors and originality of the dishes has me intrigued, and we will likely go back to give it another shot. If my experience improves next time, then I'll update my review accordingly. Total Cost for four, not including tax, tip, or drinks (BYOB), but including appetizers, a couple salads, bread (ahem), (5) entrees, and one dessert: $125.
