    Absolutely delicious! Congrats to Chef Mairinger for this Austrian-German gem of a restaurant. It was our 2nd visit with a slightly changed menu this time. My wife had the German veal schnitzel with mushroom sauce with Spätzle and the cucumber salad. I had the sausage sampler with Sauerkraut. We started with the Pretzel Basket. The spreads alone were outstanding. For dessert we got a box with a selection of cookies. I think these were a Christmas special?! Anyhow. We devoured them at home, and they were equally good. The place is a bit on the pricier side, but worth every penny!

    It took a while to get our coffees, but other than that, the food was absolutely delicious. The six of us agreed that it may have been the best breakfast we have had in the LA area.

    Yeah…please don’t let the rumors cause you to miss out on this place. The entire experience was AMAZING! Starting with the Parker rolls js the one thing you should guarantee, I’ll be thinking about them for weeks. We ordered the salmon, rolls, Brussels sprouts, burger, truffle fries and TWO orders of the Chicken and caviar. Also had their take on the old fashioned and a Paloma. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly and the icing on the cake was the conversation with their customer experience manager. She solidified the visit for us and I cannot wait to go back!

    Lovely setting and really appreciated seating request at window. Glad we were away from lively (ie noisy) bar area. Food was very good and I loved the anchovies I asked to be added to the excellent Caesar salad. Service was attentive after a bit of a slow start. Good choice for special occasions or to treat visitors to a historical venue.
