We got there earlier than our reservation, so we sat at the bar for a while. The bartender was very engaging and we had great conversation. We sat early, it was Saturday evening and they weren't very busy. The server was very attentive and cheerful. They meals were great, I had the Weiner Schnitzel, my wife had the beef rouladen. Of the three German restaurants in the area we have been to, this was by far the best rouladen (Per Mrs.) and her dad was a German chef so she knows her rouladen.
