I arrived around 2pm to avoid any lunch rush. I was successful as there were only a few patrons.
The best way I can describe the restaurant is that it has character (not quite a hole in the wall) and is small.
Anyways onto the food. I ordered the chicken schnitzel plate wish mushroom sauce. I believe the owner prepares each schnitzel to order. I could hear the tenderizer flattening out the chicken breast.
For $13.50, tax included, you definitely receive a good quantity of food. The schnitzel is huge! The breading on the schnitzel is thin and crisp and the chicken was moist. The mushroom sauce was okay. I would have preferred a thicker consistency, maybe reduced more, so it would cling onto the schnitzel. There wasn't enough sauce. The flavour was interesting. It wasn't rich and it didn't have that satisfying protein (flavour); I'm ambivalent of the sauce.
Without the sauce, the schnitzel did not have much flavour.
The plate comes with potatoes salad and sauerkraut. The potato salad was lovely. It had an optimal amount of dressing, the potatoes were tender but still firm enough and the addition of the pickles or gurgions was amazing. The briny pickled flavour brightened the potato salad.
The sauerkraut I did not enjoy as much. Maybe I'm not accustomed to those flavours, but it tasted weird- potentially too acidic?
The owner is a friendly man.
