Not crowded, with attentive but chill service. We had a delicious burger (hubby) with a fabulous acid-forward set of toppings; a delicious lentil-and-every-German-meat soup (me, because I am an Official Soup Nerd); a delicious pretzel with dips (us). Chocolate pot de creme for dessert--so rich. It was Strong Bier month, which was really fun. Can't wait to go back.

We happened to come in during HH (weekdays 3-5) so we got a bretzel w/ beercheese of course ($8) and bratwurst served w/ sauerkraut, mustard & pickle spear ($9). The sauerkraut was a tad sweet IMO but the brat was juicy and tasty. We also got the Schweinsaxe (I think?) which was an enormous pork shoulder hunk w/ nice fried crackling skin on the outside & comes w/ red cabbage and spaetzl. Def recommend sharing this big boy. It was good and all but I wish there was a bit more flavor to it than just meat flavor. The only thing for me is I find German beers to all be a bit too sweet for me as someone that likes stronger beers like IPAs but not dark beers much.

With things as sour as they are in the world today, it is really really nice to happen upon an…read moreunexpected treat like Otto and Anita's, and while I've eaten there before and I know their food is good the reason I'm posting today is because of their granddaughter, I had made an off the cuff comment to her about my day not being so great and having misplaced a $20 not a big deal and was moving forward with my credit card payment and embarrassingly it didn't go through the first time. she said to me, "you know what" she said, "in the scheme of things this is nothing" she said "you've had a bad day let this be on us" Now I'm embarrassed that was the situation, I was prepared to use another card and I told her I didn't feel comfortable with that, yet she insisted. So to Otto and Anita you must've raised some great children for their children to be as kind and thoughtful - as I said the food is amazing but your family in general is as well based on that experience. All I can say is a way to go and thank you. We will certainly be back - Dill Pickle Soup is the Bomb

Hubby and I really enjoyed our meal here. The server was very sweet and i loved her obvious pride…read morein her work place. The ambiance of Otto and Anita's is worn down and "much loved" - could use a refresh perhaps, but i guess their approach is let the food speak for the eatery. I had a special Swiss chicken which was delicious! The gravy that was generously applied was really deliciously cheesy without being too thick or rich. The chicken was perfectly crispy but perfectly moist. My only complaint os there choice of veggies. I am not a fan (at all) of spinach unless it's unrecognizable due to lots of butter and garlic, and this spinach is not that. Sadly i'm also not a fan of steamed carrots, the other veggie on the plate. The carrots were nicely steamed, not too soft, but not seasoned. The spätzle was really good too; flavorful, great texture, and moist. I loved my cup of dill pickle soup that came before my meal! It's strange to eat soup that sort of looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream, but tastes like really yummy dill pickles, but it works. Delicious! My husband had the chicken schnitzel. He had the same issue with the same vegetables, though he ate his, and he also would have preferred for the gravy to be on his chicken as opposed to in a little cup to the side. He loved the spätzle, but wanted more. (i thought the portion size of everything was just right) Hubby had a German pilsner and I had a very generous glass of a Merlot. we finished our evening with a piece of house-made German chocolate cake. Moist, and delicious. All of the cakes and pastries are said to be made in house, which exhausts me just thinking of that. There are lots of different pastries and cookies available for purchase in the front entrance as well. Great, slightly quirky place, that we definitely enjoyed very much.

When we tried the ham, it didn't smell fresh and had a slightly sour taste. I calmly went back to let them know and ask if it could be checked, since food safety is very important to me as a breastfeeding mom. Instead, the manager his name i believe is Ryan came out, grabbed the meat from my hands, threw it in the trash, and told me "don't ever come back" -- in front of other customers. I felt shocked and humiliated. I was polite the entire time and simply raised a reasonable concern. Very unprofessional and disappointing experience

I was looking for a German restaurant to take my brother in law to for their birthday. I reached…read moreout weeks in advance because it says to do so with parties of 8. I got a quick response from David who was very accommodating. It was slightly disheartening when we arrived at our reserved time they didn't have a table for us specifically. They said "sit anywhere" as they weren't busy but pretty much all of the tables (inside & out) were taken. We made it work for our party by moving tables around to accommodate. You place your order at the bar. We did a "family" style in which we ordered a number of options off the menu and enjoyed it together. Their fondue special was a good deal and we took plenty home in leftovers. The German potato salad was very mustardy (and I love mustard) but a little over the top. Not normally one to order Jägerschnitzel but it was very good (pork). The pretzel was slightly over done but tasty nonetheless. It was packed so service was as best as it could be. There were a couple of issues but they did their best. Overall this place is the "gem" I have seen in these reviews and with giving it a shot. We will be back with our doggies as it is dog friendly! Give it a try

We ordered a rosti for an appetizer which doesn't disappoint, just like how I remember from Zurich. We both ordered dishes with spaetzle, schnitzel and goulash. I opt for a salad with the famous Martin's dressing while my wife gets a French onion soup she claims is the best she's ever had and that's saying something, because we've eaten 3 Michelin Star French onion soup so I try it and now I'm a believer. The chicken broth is so tasty, the onions and cheese are wonderful. It's the simple things really that can make one happy. After conversation and lots of eating, we soon find we've devoured our plates. It's been awhile since I had really good spaetzle so this was a treat. Service was attentive at every step. The dining experience like high end but in a more casual setting. Would go here again. Recommend reservations since seating is limited.

From…read morethe moment you walk in, you're wrapped in a warm, cozy atmosphere that feels both intimate and delightfully unexpected, with charming Hawaiian inspired decor that somehow pairs perfectly with the rich comfort of authentic Swiss cuisine. The food is truly outstanding and clearly made with care. Every dish is prepared fresh and made to order, and it shows in both flavor and presentation. My favorite dish, the émincé zurichoise, is rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying. Pure comfort on a plate. What really sets Swiss Hibiscus apart is the heart behind it. This is a place where tradition, quality, and hospitality come together seamlessly. It's rare to find food this authentic, thoughtfully prepared, and consistently excellent, all served in such a welcoming, one of a kind setting. If you're in Portland and looking for something special... whether it's a cozy date night, a celebration, or simply an unforgettable meal, Swiss Hibiscus is a must. I can't recommend it highly enough and will happily return again and again!!!
