| - My mother and I decided to try the Bavarian Castle last night. First the not so good news. No one seemed overly interested in seeing us, no one greeted us despite the fact that they were not busy at all. We sat down at a table for two and our server arrived to take our drink orders. She was very, very friendly, but not German, which I guess I sort of expected. She knew the menu well and also knew what beers were offered. The decor was nothing to write home about at all. One thing that did turn us off was the location of the bussed dishes. Two tables had been pushed together on a wall in the dining room and those two tables held the bussing pans with the dirty dishes, glasses, etc. inside of them. We couldn't understand why they weren't being held in the back somewhere out of sight of customers. While there, a number of people came in and that I could tell, no one greeted them either. Now, for the GOOD news. We both ordered the Schnitzel with creamy mushroom sauce. I asked for fried potatoes, rather than fries, and my mother asked for spaetzle, rather than fries, and that accommodation was made for us with no problem whatsoever. We also asked that our sauce be on the side rather than on top of the meat. Thought that it was very terrific that our substitutions were met with "no problem". We also ordered a side of sauerkraut. The salad that came with dinner was lovely, but unfortunately had no taste. I was hoping that this was not the case for the rest of the dinner, and it wasn't. The moment I laid eyes on the schnitzel, I knew that I was in heaven. It looked and smelled exactly how it should have...and that was wonderful. The sauerkraut was the best that I have ever in my life eaten (I'm German and I have had my fair share of sauerkraut in my life). It was so darn good, I wanted to marry the chef. Chef turns out to be one of the owners. She came out to say hello and to acknowledge our compliments of the food. She was very, very nice and spent a bit of time chatting with us. Before we left, everyone that worked here came by to say good bye to us and hoped that they would see us again soon. Will I go back? Absolutely, I have plans to dine there tomorrow night with my aunt and cousin. Will I recommend it? Absolutely. I'm making plans to have dinner there with some friends. Recommend the food very highly.
