First time dinning at this establishment. Food was excellent, I had the Lemon Schnitzel with Bigos and Fries. For the amount of food, the prices were reasonable. Everything was delicious and so fresh. Our server for the evening was Mia. She made us feel right at home. When it came to the menu, she answered all the questions we had. When it came to service, she was very attentive, there was never an empty cup at our table. We also even had the pleasure of having the one of the cooks, Andrew, stop by our table to ask how we were. Definitely will be going back.

Absolutely delicious. I have a picky eater but he loved the schnitzel with gypsy sauce. The potato croquets and the potato pancakes. Everything was on point. It's a small space inside but also has outdoor seating. If you go in the summer, be prepared to melt outside. They do have industrial fans to help keep you cool and LOTS of good COLD beer. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the bathroom was clean. They also accept reservations.

Absolutely amazing! The Berlin Schnitzel is fantastic, the hollandaise sauce was so creamy and smooth. The potato pancakes are a must-try, either the regular or mini, both are crispy and well seasoned! We ate so much we waddled out of there. The staff are super nice and welcoming, food came out faster than expected. The atmosphere is very homey and cute. Honestly can't wait to come back here and try more things!

Went in for lunch, tried a sampler of sausages the curry one was really good as well as the regular sausage. had a pork snitzel with chilli and hollandaise sauce. I think chilli alone would have been better. Good beer . Id go back again.

One of my all time favorite restaurants. Our server Tiffany was the best! She was super sweet and attentive. The food is always so flavorful and beautifully made. I could tell that they’ve updated the place since we’ve been by last and it looks so great!
