Byrne HobartJune 13, 2011Don't say no to the asparagus menu. But try to squeeze in a sausage sampler plate--best pork belly I've ever tasted. Bring lots of friends, and share.

Food RepublicJune 4, 2012Emmentalerwurst has cheese INSIDE. INSIDE!!! Also, exceptional quark dumplings. Great with a stein.
Brian SchechterApril 4, 2011Come hungry. Sit at the bar. Get the spatzle, the dumplings, the kale and beer.
Come for German food, stay once you realize it's Austrian.

Katerina AnnaNovember 10, 2015The food is not good therefore it's very expensive for what it is. Nice space, maybe for a drink?
