Today's Berghoff menus have evolved to add newer, lighter, and more contemporary dishes, but it's still the same old Berghoff, down to the famous root beer.

Everything was great from the moment we walked in the door. We were early for our reservation and they easily accommodated us. Every person to come to our table was nice and helpful great staff. The bone marrow was excellent as were all the steaks our party ordered. The dessert was a great end to our meal as well. Would definitely return.

My very favorite restaurant in the city! They have consistently high-quality, wonderful dishes and rotate the menu so there’s always something new. They are great to us and our kids with special needs and dietary restrictions and we’re always great when they were babies as well. I’ve been coming for years and always bring out of town guests here. Get the scotch egg, drinks are great, the latest past I got was amazing and if you’re lucky to come for brunch, try the pastries!!! They are out of this world!
