This was a grilled bratwurst with ketchup and curry spice with a warm bun on the side. Best I've had in a while. For my main I had the cream shmizel with spaetzel and mushroom gravy. Delicious The schnitzel was thin and crispy with a creamy garlic sauce. Amazing My friend had the meatloaf smothered in mushroom gravy and warm sauerkraut. He said it was the best he's ever had. I'm visiting Tacoma for the week, but I'll be back before I leave, for sure.

The service was second to none, and the food came out hot and ready in a reasonable time frame! Our iced tea stayed refilled, which is a great bonus. :) at the server's suggestion (and after a sample!) I had the borsht (beets and cabbage) with a roll and it was so tasty!! My husband ordered the Reuben sandwich and the ratio of meat, kraut, and bread is absolute perfection! The warm, cozy atmosphere and German music is a lovely touch. It is not fancy - it's perfectly comfortable. Such a nice, clean, welcoming place to have a mid-week lunch with my ehemann. We will most definitely be back. :)

As we arrived, we weren't sure if needed to seat ourselves but by the time we were about to look at a sign, a kind waitress let us know that we can seat ourselves anywhere and brought us menus. I saw that they had tables with fires which was really cool but unfortunately there were a lot of people sitting there so we just sat at the longer tables. The interior of this place is huge and bright! They have plenty of seating inside and it looks like they do outdoor seating which is dog friendly. We were told that they will have days where they have musicians playing German music and that it attracts quite a large crowd. Our waitress Sara was hilarious, personable and did a great job of taking care of us. She really made the visit all the more memorable and fun! We did order a lot: Berliner Platter with chips and spatzle, Berliner Sliders with fries and a bratzel. We did not realize just how huge the portions were for everything, like the platter was going to be big but we weren't expecting the amount of food for other order. Everything tasted absolutely amazing though! We really enjoyed everything and they do not mess around with flavors cause you taste exactly what they advertised. The house made chips were also fantastic and probably some of the best I've ever had. My boyfriend and I are excited to return and definitely will be sharing this spot to others as we thought we had to drive to Leavenworth for good German food but it is closer to home than we thought!

The decor is rustic and cozy, with fun wall decorations like moose head and old clocks. The food was a hit for both adults and kids - our favorites is Pineapple Schnitzel; Polish Platter is a good choice if you want to try a variety. You can also to substitute, like sauerkraut instead of potato. My toddler enjoyed the Schnitzel from the kid's menu. Service was good, all the ladies working there are very friendly.

The food and presentation has remained a solid 10 out of 10. We enjoyed 2 appetizers, 1 salad that we shared, 2 entrees 2 deserts, 2 coffee's and 1 bottle of a very nice Southern Rhone wine for a price that was at least 1/3 less the cost of their value. Lamb shanks and duck breast in a reduced cherry sauce that was perfectly prepared, presented and served. I am very particular about duck even if you can find it on a menu. It was a 12. If you miss this dining experience you lose. This is European chefing at its finest. In Parkland no less. A 3 or 4 times a year type of fine dining place. Yes, we eat out often and know our stuff.

It is full of unique flavors, classic dishes, and lovely presentation. The service was excellent, our server being kind and attentive. She was warm and was sure to check on us, but didn't overdo it. There is an excellent selection in every course - even toting es cargot, which is not easy to find in these parts. The bread with the leftover garlic butter was heaven! We enjoyed a little of everything, sharing dishes and having plenty left over to take home! The bistro ambience was wonderful and inviting, if a little cheesy (in the best way). We will be back to try more of their menu soon! Can't wait!

This Irish pub did something really fun--they feature a pop-up bayou menu with a Cajun chef, and I…read moream truly hoping this turns into a full-on Cajun restaurant one day!! I'm a gumbo girl through and through, and my guy is all about crawfish étouffée, so this was basically made for us. Everything hit the spot in that comforting, rich, "yes, I will need a nap after this" kind of way. And we cannot skip the homemade moon pies--absolutely worth every calorie. No regrets. None. Also, the hurricane drink? Yummy doesn't even cover it. Let's just say it matched the whole vibe perfectly. If this pop-up becomes permanent, I'll be first in line.

When I called to reserve a table for 11, they asked whether we'd be paying separately and acted like that size of group wouldn't be a big deal. When we got there, though, the waitress seemed stressed and a little disorganized from the moment we arrived. She asked that everyone that wanted food order at the same time so that it was "convenient for the kitchen." As we were ordering food, I told her my husband and I were on the same check. She said no one told her we wanted separate checks (she hadn't asked). Some people's checks had extra items on them. The cod tacos and sliders on the happy hour menu were decent. They put groups of ten or more in the back by the shuffleboard table. It's pretty dark and you can't really hear the music playing in the main bar, but it was fine for visiting.
