This was the worst tasting food I have ever had at any restaurant. We came here for lunch and their menu was very much a dinner menu so we ordered several different items off the menu to share. We ordered a pork schnitzel, cucumber salad, sauerkraut, red cabbage, and potato pancakes. Also had a Coke Zero. The schnitzel was edible but not great. Just tasted tasted "off". Reminded me of meat in a freezer that wasn't vacuum sealed properly. The cucumber salad was so bitter! The cucumbers were also mushy. Sauerkraut was so salty and sour. I know that sounds weird to complain about sauerkraut being sour but I was born and raised in Germany and sauerkraut needs to be balanced. This was not. The red cabbage was extremely sweet and fruity. I guess they add lingenberries to it. Also tasted cinnamon rather than cloves in the red cabbage. The potato pancakes tasted like they had freezer burn. They tasted stale and were just horrible! Also took 15+ mins to bring the sour cream and applesauce for the pancakes but once we had that, it all was cold by then and it wouldn't have helped the taste anyway. Lastly, even the coke wasn't good. Way too watery and not enough flavor but I guess that aligns with the quality and taste of the food. Provided feedback to the server who then grabbed the manager. Server was very apologetic but management was more defensive. We didn't ask for a manager and we didn't want anything for free or a discount and just wanted to provide feedback as this appears to be a new restaurant and with food like this, doesn't appear they will be around long if they don't make a change.

Was not expecting much but I gotta say, I can't wait to go back! Schnitzel was perfect. Cocktails were delicious. But it was the sauerkraut that blew me away. I told them I might have to call in pick-up orders just for the sauerkraut. It was warm and perfectly crisp and comforting. Everyone I was with really loved their meals as well. Really hoping more people discover how good this place is so it sticks around! I didn't take pictures of the meal because I was completely enamored and ate it before I remembered, but I did get a picture of my cocktail.

I was one of three people here that afternoon. How are more people not talking about this??? Fantastic brunch deals, and portions to put you in a coma.

Was in for dinner on 12/4 and was excited to try some of the items. We decided to share the mushroom risotto and the new beef burger. The risotto was delicious and more mushroom than rice - which is totally what I prefer. Lots of great flavors! The burger was absolutely amazing. The candied bacon and the mustard seeds were perfectly layered for flavor in every bit. I am already thinking about my next trip in for that burger. The service and management were around the restaurant and very friendly and attentive. They are doing some renovations, but the space is still large and inviting.

Chef Gabor promises a fresh take on Alpine comfort food. His new venture includes menu items from Gabor's previous restaurant, Schmankerl Stub'n German Scratch Kitchen along with the new dishes that represent his Bavarian upbringing. Presently they are in a soft opening as the menu and some of the decor takes shape in their new space. This location on McGuire previously housed Rusteak Ocoee and most recently Bella Tuscany. I drove by and saw all the cars so I made a U turn and made plans for dinner. They were busy and the parking lot was full on a weeknight. They were in a soft opening as the restaurant opened mid July 2025. I had a short wait and then I was seated. My server was attentive and I experienced excellent service and did not feel rushed. I had the pork loin with mushroom and cream gravy which came with a choice of side and I chose the butter spaetzle. My comfort food was very tender with a rich flavorful gravy. So good and unfortunately taking a photo was an afterthought. The menu has an uncluttered layout of three columns which has an appealing design. The entree name in the first column followed by the accompaniments and sauces. The last column is the price. Appetizer and salads are $10-$20. Entrees including pasta is $18-$45 and side items are $8. Good portions at a reasonable price. I look forward to trying more new items like the ricotta-spinach ravioli and Riesling chicken.

We were excited to try a new German inspired restaurant. It is in the soft opening phase and unbeknownst to us, reservations are recommended. We did not have any so we sat at the bar and Abby took very good care of us. She is amazing and a hard worker so she definitely deserves kudos. We started with the pretzels with cream cheese and, unfortunately, the onion was so overpowering, I was unable to enjoy it. The pretzels are soft and tasty and did well alone. That item is a one and done for us. For our entree, we shared the chicken schnitzel with fries. It was so tender and tasty and the fries were crispy on the outside but cooked to perfection. For dessert, we went with the cheesecake with blueberries. This was the star of the meal and truly incredible. The inside is still the same as it was before and apparently they still have work to do before the grand opening. All in all, it was enjoyable and we will return.

Liked the Alpine restaurant so much we went back just a week later. Crushed that they didn't have the fondue anymore. Steak tartare was solid. Mushroom parfait is not a parfait at all, but terrific app. Onion soup also very good. Loads of Parmesan cheese on Caesar salad. Almost comical amount. Wagyu burger was simple and flavorful. With just ground mustard and burger sauce, it was tasty. Would be better with a thinner patty and tomato, lettuce, onion, cheese. Mushroom risotto was fantastic. Veal sausage was a little weak in flavor. Surprised pretzels and traditional brats not on menu. German beers were terrific (again).

I have seen them at some of the food events in Winter Park and Thorton Park. I really enjoyed what they had, so I had to visit them at their restaurant. I went on a Saturday evening. I was greeted immediately upon arrival and seated to the bar area that I requested. Food and drink menu were provided and I took the suggested tin drum (16 dollars) cocktail drink. It looked like an old fashioned, but tasted a bit more bitter. It was also decorated nicely. But best of all, it was very strong that I would have chanted tiki toki if they had a live polka band. For my entree, I tried the pork schnitzel (22 dollars) with cucumber salad as the side. The pork was pounded nicely, still being tender. The breading was just enough and fried just right. The lingonberry sauce provided the right amount of sweetness. The cucumber salad was a bit soggy, but still very enjoyable. The dill added was just right. It almost tasted like a pickle, but in a very good way. The portions were quite generous, but the food was light enough that I could finish the whole thing. For dessert, the cheesecake (12 dollars) was rich that I did take some of it home. I could tell it was homemade as it had the right amount of vanilla beans for the flavor. There were a lot of blueberries and sauce, but it still complimented nicely. I am glad I took some home so my mom could also enjoy, but I may finish it the next day if there are still some left. The service was excellent. My bartender was very friendly and provided me great suggestions. He explained the story about the restaurant and owner. He also talked to other guests as it was not busy at all. The dining area is only on the right side, and looks like the left area is not used yet. That wasn't a problem at all as there wasn't much of a crowd. It was pretty quiet that the soft DJ boots and pants (remember from the GEICO pig commercial?) like music were playing in the background. This restaurant is quite underrated, and deserves more recognition. I know most people go to the famous Hollerbachs in Sanford for great German food, but Alpine Bar and Grill still deserves a try as well. The food is really good and the cocktails are amazing. Maybe if they can get a live German band to play as well, then more patrons can visit and enjoy such amazing German food! Prost! Overall: A

Wanted to try out the new German style restaurant in Ocoee on the corner of Maguire Road and old Winter Garden Road. Staff was super friendly when you first come in but seating is limited on the right side of the restaurant only. So the service was pretty quick for a Friday night. We ordered the pretzel sticks as our appetizer with the pretzel being fluffy and crispy on the outside though the cheese spread that was given to us was fresh out of the refrigerator and too hard to spread on our pretzel sticks. But the flavor was good. My husband ordered the veal schnitzel while I went with the standard pork schnitzel and both were impressed on how perfectly cooked they were with a light breading on top. They're both served with Lingonberry sauce on the side with side item of your choice. My husband went with the standard french fries that were nicely crispy, fresh, thick like steak fries. I went with buttered spatzle that was, plain overall. I did ask for the upgraded Jager sauce with my pork schnitzel, but was not impressed to spend $10 for the upgraded Jager sauce. Drinks wise I ordered the black forest colada which was light and refreshing, but definitely had a sense of drinking potpourri and my husband did like that. They had his favorite whiskey at the bar that he ordered neat. Overall, our schnitzels were cooked perfectly and everything else was either a texture issue, or not appetizing or had little to no flavor.
