| - German/Austrian comfort food, in a restaurant with menus and decor possibly frozen in time. The atmosphere is quaint with lots of flowers and greenery surrounding the restaurant building, and if you're looking for a casual, tableclothed dining experience, come here! Our server was generously polite with Thank Yous and we loved that. We never get "service" service in the city these days (for the drama-llama anecdote, please read my review of Firefly restaurant).
We had lunch in the front room and really enjoyed examining the stained glass windows and framed historic photos of Unionville. We ordered sauerbraten and cabbage rolls. The sauerbraten is a slowcooked roast marinated in a winesauce with redcabbage, cinnamon, raisins, parsley, and homemade dumplings. The cabbage rolls were stuffed with pork and rice, covered in a tomato sauce with a side of homefries and sourcream.
The meals were perfectly satisfying for a famished late lunch, and really hit the spot in terms of comfort food that tasted homecooked and unprocessed.
Didn't have room for dessert, but we eyed the apple fritters, and had a good chuckle at seeing peach melba and banana split on the menu........perhaps to entice the children after they dine on the children's menu. Because we definitely couldn't have eaten another bite to fill us.
