Got there around 5pm wasn't that busy. The place is clean and comfortable. The Schnitzel entree was delicious. Mom got the Shrimp special and loved it. Had one of the house beers (wooden shoe bock) very good beer. Our server Sarah was very friendly and attentive and was knowledgeable about the place, menu and specials. Restroom was very clean and odorless. Got a glance of the kitchen on the way to the Restroom and it was immaculate. Got the brown butter cake for dessert, how freaking delicious. Gooey in the middle crunchy on the edges and warm!! What a nice stress free dining experience! Well done!

This little whole in the wall is wonderful. First time I've been there since the remodel and it is really nice inside, almost felt underdressed in a tshirt. I already knew their fried chicken is great so I tried the salmon and I was blown away. By far the best salmon I've ever had. The fries were very good too. Can't wait to go back.

The food was delicious! Lots of choices and plentiful amounts. The Senior menu was very equitable to the rest of the menu. I would recommend this restaurant.

It took a while to get a week day off to come try this place. Heard nothing but good things and it did not disappoint. Had an Alfredo dish that delicious. Their recipe was not a strong flavor, it was mellow and allowed the other flavors in the dish to be tasted. There were cheese strands hanging from my fork! 7 for three shrimp seemed steep though. My better half had the salmon dish. The bourbon glaze was good if not a bit much in volume. Also, French fries probably isn't the best pairing with a cut of fish of that class. Perhaps a loaded baked potato or a sweet potato. Time will bring us back. While pricy, that 24 burger with bacon and pork belly was tempting.
