    Had the chicken schnitzel, with mash potato's and spatzle. Very good. Server was wonderful, and the atmosphere transports you to Germany for sure. They had a band playing German music as well ... wonderful Valentines meal. We'll be back ... so many other treats to taste.

    My granddaughter and I enjoyed our dinners. She thought everything was delicious from the liver dumpling soup to the Apple strudel and in between (stuffed cabbage rolls). My Rouladen was tender and delicious also.

    This is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at in my 33 years of life. Best beer I have ever had in my life, the best pretzel I have ever had in my life, and the best food I have ever had in my life. Too full for desert, but if I had tried it, it'd be the best desert in which the likes we have never tasted before. Renee is the best server known to man and women. Any other server could never compare. Quite frankly, she was the best server this country has to offer. We love you Renee.

    The food is great!! The entertainment is great!! The service is great!! I come here for my birthday, my father-in-law's birthday, my sister's birthday, Father's Day- place is full most of the time, which is a good indicator of quality & service. Very kid-friendly as well- I am never disappointed at Edelweiss- Gemutlichkeit in abundance!!

    We went there to celebrate my 70th birthday. The band sang happy birthday, had the patrons lift a glass to me. Made for a fun evening. The food was delicious.
