    We had a great NYE dinner a pre select menu that offered great choices of meat, fowl, and fish. We had the queen prime rib with baked potato and salad that was delish and well enjoyed. Quirt place to enjoy a celebration. Wait staff was very attentive with water refills and extra garlic bread. Enjoyable evening to ting in the new year. Thanks to Mark our server!!🥰

    Jason was an excellent waiter and all 4 of our meals were cooked to perfection. It’s not surprising that Jack Pandl’s restaurant has stood the test of time.

    Had the Sunday brunch Wiener schnitzel and snacked on the pastry basket. Very filling. Alas, no German pancake this time. And I forgot to take a picture of the Treasure Chest!

    We had a 6 pm reservation on a Tuesday evening. We called ahead to let them know we'd be late and they thanked us for that. Our table was waiting and we were seated. Things went downhill from there. Two servers were on duty plus two or more assistants busing tables, etc. as well as the hostess. We were seated at 6:20 but didn't get our order taken for half an hour; our soup and salad came almost an hour later. There was one table of 10, but the place wasn't that busy. (I've worked as a server.) The server we had showed no "hustle" and gave no updates or reason for delays. She mostly ignored us. One order was not put in and was brought later. Most of the food was up to Pandl's usual standards except for the partially-frozen shrimp cocktail one of us was served. At $21, that was irksome. We've been customers for years and have never had such poor service. We won't let one strike be a reason to avoid Pandl's next time, nor will it wipe out the memory of many enjoyable visits. But this incident will not be forgotten either.

    Our waitress really knew how to work the room. The food was on time at Fred. It was fresh. This the ambience was old time, but the crowd got bigger and people were having a good time. It was a lot of fun.

    Our group of 6 received outstanding service. We enjoyed a variety of entrees ~~ specials, German specialties, seafood, and poultry ~~ all carefully prepared and delicious. Desserts of Schaum torte and strudel completed a memorable meal. Our waiter was knowledgeable, personable, and efficient, joining in our merriment. We will return often!

    I ordered Chicken Liver Dumpling Soup and Crab Cakes. Both were outstanding. Our waiter, Ryan, (who I believe is the son of the owner) is efficient and friendly. It was a very pleasant lunch experience. If you have not tried this restaurant, I suggest you do. Prices are fair with the quality of the food. The cocktails are also delicious.
