| - I came here for Winterlicious dinner with my UofT colleagues. Loved their 3 course menu and I love schnitzel so 2 great seasons to come here. I loved the décor here and you notice it right away. It has a cool rustic feel to it and they have the wood trunk cravings from trees on the wall which is quite interesting. I love their drink menus as they have various drink options and a full service bar. I ordered one of their drink specials which was the Munich Gold that came in a nice stein glass- a great German beer to order here. For the Winterlicious menu, I ordered the steak tartare with hand-chopped raw angus beef, served with onion, capers, quail egg yolk and chef's secret spices, served with roasted beef bone marrow and baguette. The chicken jaeger schnitzel - a crispy breaded cutlet topped with hearty bacon, mushroom, and red wine sauce and perfectly paired with traditional spaetzle and roasted heirloom root vegetables and lastly for dessert homemade vanilla cheesecake. After we placed our order, our server brought us complimentary bread with garlic butter while we waited for our meals. I was impressed with the steak tartare, it was quite delicious and flavorful. As with the beef bone marrow, it was really rich and good. I definitely made the right choice to get this appetizer. We kept ordering bread cause it was quite good and I usually order more to ensure I am actually full at the end of my meal. Little did I know the portion of the schnitzel when it came was gigantic. Literally it was a huge piece of chicken. The chicken schnitzel was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. Totally worth the price and was it more than a general portion for the entrée. Lastly, to finish off our meal I got the cheesecake. Great homemade cheesecake and loved their raspberry sorbet which adds a nice touch to the dessert. Service was great and our server was awesome. He was funny, charismatic and super gracious in ensuring we had a great dining experience. If you are looking for great schnitzel and beer, this is the place to eat at. Highly recommend it and will definitely be back!!
