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.

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.

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
