Came here before for christmas and waffles and it is a really nice german restaurant. Once a house, this restaurant is very large with many rooms and a patio. They bring the outside in with vines and greenery among the ceilings and open french doors. My friend and I shared the classic schnitzel and a sacher torte for a weekday lunch because reviews here said they were good.
First, a basket of rye bread and butter came- nothing special, a little dry if anything. The schnitzel is a large piece of white meat and is very crispy. Even better with a squirt of the lemon wedge. Also on the plate, is some boiled and buttered broccoli and some cubed potatoes.
I was fairly disappointed in the chocolate cake. It's a very moist sweet spongecake with whipped cream on the side. The top is like a thin slightly melted chocolate bar. Neither decadent nor light and fluffy.
Came to about $20. The waitress is very prompt and present. Just when we finish the meal, she brings the dessert, and at our last bite of cake she brings the bill.
I say the atmosphere wins over the food. Food gets an average 3/5, atmosphere gets a cozy 4/5.
