Well let me tell you about this place! my wife and I are traveling through British Columbia for her…read morejob and we ended up in this town by chance. I asked the hotel desk person for an Italian restaurant. She told me that there was not one and had suggested a place that does sell pasta but it is not an Italian restaurant. We went to the restaurant on a Monday night at about 7 p.m. and it was closed! Several of the businesses in the area were closed which was kind of shocking for so early in the evening. However, thanks to Yelp, I was able to find this German restaurant. The exterior of the building is very fitting it looks like something straight out of Bavaria. You walk into the doorway and you're in this little cubicle with a curtain. couldn't understand why that was the case until I was sitting in the restaurant. When you're sitting at the first table by the door and the sun is setting, it hits you right in the face. So the management has put up this curtain to walk through that cuts down the glare from the sun! We did not have a reservation and I strongly suggest that you come to this town you get one in advance! The waitress was absolutely wonderful I assumed she was also the manager because she was on top of everything and everyone! She found a seat and my wife overheard her telling people that she just hates to turn people away and she gave us the last seat in the house. The majority of the people in the place were elderly but then a group of ladies came in who had a mixed age range. The ambience was magnificent! The walls were decorated with plates and memorabilia from around Germany and there were flags from around the world. I've been in a few German restaurants in my time and this one even though it was small and had lots of memorabilia, it had an extreme cozy feeling. As one would hope, it had an assortment of schnitzel on the menu. I had to the traditional wienerschnitzel with spaetzle. There were two full size pieces, the side accompaniment, a salad and I could not finish it! I am no small eater by any means! My wife had the chicken cordon bleu schnitzel and it was equally as tasty. She had the home fried potatoes and love them! I think one of the more pleasant surprises was that despite this being a small town, clearly a very popular restaurant, and large portions of food, my dinner was only $17! So if you're ever in the town of Port alberni Canada you have got to make it a point to go see the folks in this wonderful restaurant! The local people heard us talking and people were chit-chatting us up without trying to intrude on our dinner. this was the best meal I've had since we've left home and honestly I think it is one of the best meals I've had in months at a restaurant. Please take the extra trip to this lovely community and go see these people you will not be disappointed! PS Make sure that you get the cheese sauce to go on your spoetzl. I was asking the waitress about how it was made and stated that it tasted like macaroni and cheese. She told me there was no cheese in it but that should be glad to bring me some cheese sauce! Total rock star move!

I have eaten at this restaurant since its inception in the 60's and have always had excellent…read moremeals. It was a go to for special occasions. Went last night with a friend but the reservation should not have been accepted. From the moment we arrived we were told to hurry up and eat as the next people would be there within the hour. Good start I ordered the cordon bleu with spaetzle and sauerkraut. The side dishes were very small and barely room temperature and definitely lacked seasoning. The schnitzle although good was half the size it used to be and the price had gone up almost double from a couple of years ago. I understand the price increase but not the decrease in the portions,, one or the other and maybe heat the food. I was extremely disappointed and will not repeat the experience. It is a shame, was always my favorite place to go for the last 55 + years.

You may spot a few horses during your dinner! The seafood chowder was highly recommended so I had that as my entree. The seafood was fresh and cooked perfectly. There were jumbo prawns, fish, mussels and clams. I enjoyed the taste of the broth as well. For dessert, they had a special Japanese style cheesecake which was light and fluffy and accompanied with ice cream, a sprinkle of nuts, and edible flowers. Great friendly service as well!

The staff are all very friendly and welcoming, and Anita in particular was awesome. We asked for recommendations and Anita recommended the Seafood Chowder to start which was to die for!!! Best one my Gf and I have ever had anywhere.. For the main dishes we had the Rack of Lamb, and the Beef Bourguignon and both very delicious and very tender. The owner Roxanne and Stephan came by and mingled with everyone and I have to say are incredible hosts and have done an amazing job with the place and the staff. Did I mention they have a 3-Michelin Star Chef?!! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to any and everyone to stay, relax, enjoy great dining and unwind. Michael and Teresa:)

Big tables, Serbian pop music playing, and attentive service. I ordered the cevapi with bread and a bowl of veal soup. Both were hearty and well seasoned. Thankfully the cevapi came with a nice heap of onions. If I had a complaint, it would be that the bread has a tougher crust than the Bosnian somun. Also I would have appreciated some kajmak (thick cream) along with the ajvar. But I think it's a place I will visit again to try other things on the menu

There are a good variety of pork dishes but I ordered a steak. It was bacon wrapped and within the steak was oozing cheese. The steak was seasoned perfectly. It was accompanied by a tomato based sauce that complimented the slightly salty steak very well. It also came with a basket of fried potatoes and a side of cucumbers and tomatoes dipped slightly in vinegar and salt. The service was attentive and on point giving recommendations based on my taste pallette. The dining area was small, maybe enough for a total of 30 people dining max at one time. The ambiance was very quiet, enough to talk and converse without having to raise your voice. Lots of wall art depicting either famous people or places from Serbia. I noticed several Nikola Tesla pictures. A destination to totally visit and wisk you away to the food joys of Serbia. Side note: in the men's bathroom, the walls are plastered with praise to Novak Djokavic (one of tennis legends) and Nikola Jokic (a current legend in basketball).
