Was Elizabeth Tugyi at Gunk Haus a mag?

I got the chicken schnitzel kaiser salad. My only complaint is I wish the descriptions on the menus were better. The wording isn't accurate on multiple dishes throughout our table of 8 people.

Tried going there because we heard they were permanently closing. Called for 2 days with no answer. When we went there we were told you had to have a reservation and that they didn’t bother answering the phone because they were full, and couldn’t be accommodated at all. Way to go out with a bang. I say good riddance. The owner has always had somewhat of an attitude. Hopefully the new owners will make it into a restaurant worth going to with personable staff.

Food was delicious (especially those stuffed mushrooms) with fantastic service and a great rustic atmosphere. It was raining so couldn't see the views but from what I know of the area, they can be amazing from that location. Had a great time! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
