| - Went here tonight with my wife and 2 year old son. I was a bit scared at first - there was one other couple eating, but to be fair, it's a Monday night and holiday, so I gave that a pass. So glad I did - as we had a great experience!
Pros:
- The food. It was great. I had the Wiener Schnitzel (large - that was a mistake, as it was huge), and my wife had the Chicken Paprikash. Both were spectacular. I lived in Vienna for 6 months in college, and visit frequently, and I'd put this place up with the top places in Vienna. I could even hear the chef pounding the hell out of the meat in the back after I ordered it. That's fresh.
- Our server, Heather, was great. She treated our son like a king, and made sure we had everything we needed all the time. Great people and great service.
- The sides were great. Sauerkraut was made with paprika to give it an extra something, while my wife's dumplings - actually smaller than dumplings but larger than spaetzle, were perfectly cooked.
Cons:
- OK, I'll be fair. The decor is terrible. Traditional Hungarian/German restaurant vibe - furniture from the 80's, decor outside to match. It was dark and a bit dingy feeling. Some sprucing up and paint would go a long way.
If you can get past the decor and just focus on the food - you'll be very happy. They could certainly use a touch of restaurant renovation TV show love - but I'd recommend the food and the service to anyone.
