It wasn't what I was expecting, not bad though. I thought it was going to be a upscale German restaurant but instead I found a quaint shop w/ friendly people. It was what I call "lunch box" style - a la carte but more like a food truck/diner. While the menu was small, the combinations (i.e. different brats w/ different sides potato salad, red cabbage, spaetzle, etc) could make for many unique return visits. I was so looking forward to the spaetzle, while good home-made pasta, it wasn't the traditional that I have had before and the sauce was a bit watery. My son, who wants to be a chef, had Jaegersauce and it was watery too but he said the flavor was amazing. While I can't say the prices were unreasonable, but at the same time for 2 people we spent $25 on lunch and got lunch size portions (probably the right sized portions - not the inflated American sized). I guess I was expecting upscale and paying $30/35, but got lunch style and paid $25. I would say if I had paid $18 for 2 I wouldn't have even given prices a thought. Overall, even with the small disappointments, a pleasant surprise and will try it again when I'm downtown and in the mood for German. Perhaps with different expectations, I will enjoy it even more the next time. — Anonymous Reviewer
