      Grunauer is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and they have great vegetarian options that are as good as any dish you’ll find on their menu or anywhere else. Service is always wonderful and the atmosphere transports me too Europe.

      Ambience is quite like Europe and service was very efficient. We enjoyed chicken schnitzel and the zweibelrosbraten. The portions are huge for a woman’s portion. Did not want the dessert so cannot respond to that. Our server was very attentive and we appreciated her help and advice. This is a winner and will be coming back

      Lovely late lunch! The restaurant week menu was super good - especially the carrot salad! The flourless chocolate cake was heavenly. A good time was had by all!
