| - The Chef and owner, Werner, is an excellent cook. He was trained in Munich and replicates recipes using the true German hand. I am used to German cooking, so I didn't think it was heavy at all. It was just right!
I ordered the homemade soup because the salad bar was very ordinary. Soup was excellent with a hearty broth and not too salty.
The spaetzles were just like grandma used to make- without salt- so I added some. Red cabbage was delicious. The entrees we had were roasted duck (moist and tasty), jaegerschnitzel (moist, delicious brown mushroom gravy flavored with bacon), wurst platter with German fried potatoes and Veal Wiener schnitzel served with spaetzle and green beans. We loved each dish.
The desserts were delicious! Fresh, warm, homemade apple strudel with vanilla ice cream was a huge surprise. It tasted like grandmas too! I think it was the raisins and cinnamon. My friends had Black Forest cake that was so chocolatey and fresh.
Our server was helpful, gregarious and attentive. Yay!
Unless this restaurant has a loyal clientele that supports it, I would suggest that the owner give at least the outside, a facelift. It doesn't look nice. It looks like a bar and grill from the north side of Pittsburgh. It doesn't welcome you because of the total brown facade and dark colored windows. The inside is dated too. If it has more of a German feel with German decor it would add to the ambiance.
