    Best warm pretzel I've had out of all the German spots I've tried in the city. Warm, pillowy, and flavorful with a delicious sweet mustard. Smaller than some others, but big of flavor.

    Great place to go before or after a show at BAM! Start with a Schwartzwald Spritz, add a Liptauer, then a Labskaus and finish with a Nutella Pretzel Pie.

    whimsical decor. Aviation, Pirage Jenny, Hemmingway Daiquiri. For food, really loved the rainbow trout and Duck confit.

    Great, modern take on German staples. The schnitzel tastes better than any I've ever had!

    Good, authentic German food and cozy atmosphere, but it comes at a price. Try the Anna Nicole cocktail if you get the chance.

    Nice to start with the pretzel (strong mustard). The grenadine lemonade is very tasty!

    The potato pancakes with a glass of gruner are a must. Service was annoyingly slow but they were very nice about it.

    Be sure to get the hostess' attention. She might see a 'regular', put their info down for a table, walk away and ignore you.

    Sliders and potato pancakes are out of this world. Pair that with a glass of Gruner, and voila! Yumsville.

    Adequate but unexciting. Price is high for what you get and service is patchy (15 mins for a beer, entrees brought at different times)

    Wurst plate is totally shareable. Comes with a ton of potatoes...too many for me!

    Until they open up the patio to get some fresh air - avoid sitting there. It's an oven!!
