Absolutely delicious! Congrats to Chef Mairinger for this Austrian-German gem of a restaurant. It was our 2nd visit with a slightly changed menu this time. My wife had the German veal schnitzel with mushroom sauce with Spätzle and the cucumber salad. I had the sausage sampler with Sauerkraut. We started with the Pretzel Basket. The spreads alone were outstanding. For dessert we got a box with a selection of cookies. I think these were a Christmas special?! Anyhow. We devoured them at home, and they were equally good. The place is a bit on the pricier side, but worth every penny!

This is a more intimate gastropub on the inside, with outside seating available. The service was excellent, and the food was good to great. We enjoyed the tempura-battered shrimp and fish and chips, and we plan on coming back for vegan shepherd's pie. There is a good bar menu and happy hour as well.
