| - Born and raised in Germany on traditional German food (very traditional, I just say head cheese, blood sausage, kraut and dumplings) I can just say: go to Bavarian Point. My fiance, born and raised in the US, went there before and was very satisfied so I wanted to try although I usually don't eat my home country's food when I'm in another country but rather whatever this country has to offer. It was worth the exception! The interior might seem outdated and too rustic but that is how German restaurants look like, not kidding. It's considered to have a charming traditional vibe. Bayern 3 radio station was playing, that is the only complain I have - German Schlager and folk music... :D
We decided on the salad bar for appetizer and it was simply amazing. Lots of different salads to choose from and all I sampled were delicious! We then feasted on fried camembert (not really German but my fiance wanted to try), lamb shank with green beans and roasted potatoes, and sauerbraten with bread dumpling and red cabbage. Every bite was a real treat. Yes, German food doesn't look appealing most of the time, it is heavy, often overcooked, and doesn't feature fresh fancy colors (my fiance says every dish is brown and yellow in Germany. I disagree. We also have dark green beans and deep purple cabbage...), but that's how it is and has always been and that's how we love it. The taste makes up for the look! We couldn't fit in a dessert because the portions are huge. Will try to squeeze one in next time.
The service was German... Less attentive than the typical American service with "everything okay?" every two minutes, but friendly and quick.
I can definitely recommend this restaurant if you want authentic German food in an authentic looking German restaurant!
