Great little German store restaurant in the middle of Downtown Berkeley. Pretzel was simple and served with a housemade honey mustard, little sweet, little spice. Spaetzle was on point for its traditional texture and flavor, which paired beautifuly with the mushroom rague. The fish cake sandwich had great flavor, good texture, just need a touch more salt for the everyday American consumer's palate. Of course, the sto... View all feedback.
I started with the cheese and salami platter as an appetizer, followed by the pork cutlet while my friend enjoyed the Schnitzel. I also had a full Stein of beer, which was fantastic. The portions were large and the food was delicious. I also enjoyed the traditional German outfits worn by the staff. The atmosphere inside was not too formal and the people were friendly. Overall, a great experience - I will definitely be returning.
We went to this restaurant to celebrate my Dad's birthday with a German meal, and ended up making some new friends and discovering a definite place to revisit in the future. The food was delicious and satisfying, with perfect portion sizes. We particularly enjoyed the traditional breads. Our server, Anna, was very friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. I had a mishap with my Dad's cake on the way to the restaurant, but the owner (whose name I unfortunately did not get) fixed it for me and saved the day! The food and people here are wonderful. I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself.
Unique and immaculately prepared food. The staff was very friendly and had suggestions for beer pairings at every step of the meal. The space is beautiful and the chairs are comfortable. Perfect!
Truly a diamond in the rough. Amazing food and drinks. Friendly quick service. Better than eating in German. They also make their own mustard which was delicious and had a little kick. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting an authenticEuropean food experience ????????????
Absolutely everything vegetarian that I've tried has been outstanding, which really makes it fun to try new dishes because you know they're going to be great, you just don't know exactly how this time. I have only tried a few of the beers but they've beentasty, too, so the owner and staff really care about the quality. I love going here, but have to moderate my desires because ofhow expensive it is
