• Good bar and good German food. This place is popular with the locals and ethnic Germans, and I can see why. Good daily specials, and good carte menu. Appetizers are many and varied. Food is traditional and tasty. Kiki, behind the bar is a hoot. Neighborhood has good delicatessens, bakeries and shops, too.

• Guy enjoyed the "big flavor" and tenderness of the sauerbraten and the rindsrouladen, a beef roll. Loyal customers enjoy the liver dumpling soup and listening to the live polka band.
