| - Visited Sin & Redemption last night after a day of walking the AGO, which is just a few steps away. We were looking for something close and tasty and we found it.
I had the beef stew with fries. The fries were great, freshly made and lightly salted and particularly good when dipped in the stew. The stew serving size was slightly small for the price of the dish but it was excellent. More broth-y than a thick sauce, which I quite liked; the meat and carrots were very tender and the beer in the stew added a nice flavour. It went well with a glass of the Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon I ordered to drink (I don't really enjoy beer but a Leffe Braun is in the stew and probably would've been fantastic as a beverage with it).
My friend had the Cornish hen, which was split and grilled and served with cranberry sauce, vegetables and mashed potatoes. The hen was excellent and the cranberry sauce a nice accompaniment, not too sweet. The mashed potatoes were so smooth and the vegetables, fresh and steamed but still crisp, included carrots, cauliflower, broccoli and turnip. He ordered a lighter beer, a Muschen, and it complimented the dish nicely.
On a Saturday night around 6 we didn't have to wait for a table and the noise level was high-ish but were seated in quiet corner, which was nice. Servers were attentive without being overbearing.
The beer menu is extensive, a lot of styles and from varied regions in Europe, a handful of wines were available for reasonable prices.
The menu is extensive and focussed on German and Bavarian dishes. I'm looking forward to going back and trying some of the other menu items soon.
