| - oh geez, only one review of Sutter's and someone beat me to it! We too, have been going there for years. They have simplified things a bit over time, but their main deal, weiner schnitzel, is still absolute perfection. I really don't understand how he does it perfect every time, but I guess if you've been doing schnitzel every day for 30 years, you have it down. It's a very large, ok, HUGE, piece of very tender veal pounded thin, battered or coated somehow, and fried to crispy, greaseless perfection. You get 2 of these huge delicacies, and I should only eat 1/2 of one, but I always eat a whole one and take the other one home. If you put it on a pie plate and stick it in the oven, it crisps up again nicely the next day.
The whole dinner, including a large, and always crisp and completely fresh salad, side of pasta or potato or veggie, is only like $16 or something ridiculously cheap, especially considering the size of portion and the perfection of the wiener schnitzel. I seriously doubt you will ever get such a perfectly done schnitzel anywhere in the world, actually. This guy is the master of weiner schnitzel and you should sample the best. You can get fancy schnitzels with different sauces and cheese and whatnot on it, but I always get the plain and squeeze a bit of fresh lemon over it. I don't like the sauce to make the crunchy perfection soggy. I eat the edges first and then eat the middle part :-)
There is a bar which is always empty now, which, pre-recession, was always full of people waiting for a table. The place is in a house-like building. It's pleasant, clean, homey, and very comfortable and family-feeling. If you live on the far east side, definitely give it a try. If you are a schnitzel lover, or a veal parmesean lover, it's a MUST!
I have to admit, the schnitzel is the only thing I've ever had there. You must know that I'm a person who always likes to try something new and different. This is the only place I've ever gone where I get the exact same thing every time. In fact, every time, I study the menu and ponder the schnitzel varieties, the veal or chicken marsala, and other things to the point where I must have the menu memorized. But each and every time I end up with the plain schnitzel.
We went there just tonight and we did break out and order the saurkraut meatball appetizer, in addition to the plain schnitzel. There were 4 delicious GIANT meatballs laced with a hint of saurkraut, coated with the schnitzel batter and fried to the same greaseless perfection with a cream sauce over them..
