Hansa has a very homey environment and feel. You feel relaxed just sitting there. Looking at the beer kegs is interesting. I find it a little funny just watching people tend to them.
The wait service is very kind and welcoming. I don't speak much German but I could still hold a short conversation, which is nice comparing my attempted conversations in other languages at other restaurants.
The environment is great I would go even without the food. Speaking of the food...
The food is wonderful. You want to stay at Hansa for days, just to savor the food.
I had a hackbraten (a German meatloaf) and it was wonderful. It was hard to savor it, but I did try.
I normally don't like to get desert but I couldn't resist. I had an apple strudel and I wolfed it down too. It looked incredible but the taste was even better than its looks.
I loved Hansa. I strongly recommend going for lunch sometime if you're into German food.
P.S. I went to the import shop afterwards and let's just say, they have a lot of really good chocolate ( according to my friends.)
P.P.S. I don't eat chocolate.
