| - Once again, I thought I might find a proper schnitzel here, but I was very wrong, despite positive reviews. This is just another business riding on past customers, making NO effort to provide diners with a decent experience.
1. I first notice the "German rye bread" in a basket, a whole allotted TWO slices of cheap bread that is not German rye.
2. I order wiener schnitzel, comes with two sides, soup or salad. The house salad was bland and watery. I ordered French dressing and got 1000 Island. No biggie, still looking forward to a great schnitzel dinner.
3. The side of "mixed vegetables" was literally two TINY pieces of BROCCOLI MUSH, and two TINY pieces of CAULIFLOWER MUSH that I couldn't even lift to my mouth without it falling apart. Pathetic. The homemade potatoes were gross and glistened with grease everywhere.
4. The worst was the schnitzel. It was JUST GREASE GREASE GREASE! It wasn't even blotted up. No chef with self-respect would serve a pile of grease, both sides, literally forming a moat of oil when I pressed down on either side. I had to use my napkin to absorb the oil, then ate my cold, still greasy slab of $17 pork.
Oh, and the "wiener" schnitzel is pork, not veal as it should be. The VEAL schnitzel is 21.95 vs. 16.95 for the pork. But the good news is that I am sure they soak it to death in oil, so ask for extra napkins, blot off all the grease, then just ask them to microwave it for you....no biggie, right?
Pathetic restaurant. I paid over $20 for 4 TINY, massacred/mushed pieces of vegetable and A SLAB OF GREASE.
Avoid like the plague. Toronto has no authentic, PROPER wiener schnitzel anywhere anymore.
