    Always a favorite place for us. (We live down the street!). Last night we brought guests that just moved here. They were "wowed", as I knew they would be. Everything was perfect :-)

    Very disappointing. Service was sub par. My tuna was too salty and I could not eat it. Lamb chops were only ok. The only good thing was the shrimp gratin appetizer.

    Great lunch! The salmon with polenta and flash fried spinach was amazing. The spinach melts in your mouth! The Ahi Tuna salad was also delicious. Cooked perfectly and nice assortment of veggies in a light dressing. One of us had the cob salad and loved the textures and flavor.

    The Gruene Door is a gem in New Braunfels! Our party of six thoroughly enjoyed the excellent service, inviting ambience, and fantastic food. The duck curry was a standout, and the ahi tuna was perfectly prepared. Their wine selection is truly impressive. Highly recommend for a delightful dining experience.

    Filet was tasteless and undercooked. Herb butter was forgotten and had to ask the server for it. Not the best experience we’ve had here.
