This is probably the hardest review I've done, and I've taken some time to think about it before…read moredoing so. We came here for my husband's birthday dinner, as we were in the area for a getaway. We were both stationed in Germany back in the day, and he has a particular adoration for German food. And that German food MUST COME WITH SPAETZLE, which is the German version of noodles. Of course he also needs the breaded cutlet, but it all goes together for him: cutlet, gravy, spaetzle. As a vegetarian, German food is often harder for me, and so I really only had one entree choice: the potato pancake, although I believe that wasn't the official name for it. My husband's entree didn't come with spaetzle, but there was a kids meal with it and perhaps it came with other entrees, I can't remember, but we assumed he could switch his side to spaetzle and everyone would go home happy. Au contraire. We went for the appetizer, entree, desert pricing since everything was on the more expensive side and this way we'd just choose from each selection without thinking about the cost. The first problem occurred when we asked if the German pretzel, our favorite share starter, could take the place of one of our appetizers. After all it was the same price or cheaper, AND it's a gd appetizer, after all. Isn't it? No. We were not allowed to do that. So we skipped the pretzel, trying to keep our birthday cheer afloat. Tis but a fleshwound, right? Next he was told he could not substitute spaetzle for the side that came with his entree. Why not? We got a shrug. Then we asked if he could just buy a side of it. We were told it wasn't on the side list so no, he couldn't get a side of it. Imagine! You are told at a German restaurant you can't even BUY THE GERMAN FOOD YOU WANT AS A SIDE. Even though they have it there. At this point we were irritated. But it's his birthday dinner. So we just ordered from the menu and attempted to move on and enjoy the experience. Then the food comes out. It's absolutely delicious! The asparagus appetizer I'd selected was incredible, and my potato entree superb. Hub's portion of cutlet was generous, and he said his whole meal was on point. (With the exception of the missing spaetzle, of course.) We both had the apple streudel for desert, and the flavor was there, but it was super cold, unlike many we've gotten warm and delicious. We weren't a fan of it cold. The atmosphere was nice, and the waitress did a decent job of filling our orders, but seemed to have no empathy for our needs or desires. This all left me torn as to what rating to give the restaurant. The food we got was mostly amazing, except for the temperature of the dessert. I'd give it five stars in a heartbeat. The inflexibility to make the most basic efforts to keep your guests happy: allowing the pretzel to be included in the appetizer choices, and allowing a guest to swap a side for spaetzle or even allowing them to buy it as an extra side seemed to the point of insanity. Isn't the point of having a restaurant to serve people good food in a nice atmosphere so everyone is happy? Someone there has lost the plot. I'd give them a zero if I could for ruining my husband's birthday dinner with this ridiculous behavior. So I settled for a three. This three neither addresses the excellence of the food we ate or the basic failure to keep their guests happy. I hope they stay in business but learn to be flexible. It's not becoming.

If you can't cook a steak properly to order, it's a problem. When your server doesn't insist on…read moremaking it right, it's unforgivable. My fiance and I spent his entire birthday dinner marveling that nothing was done about a medium rare steak that came out medium/medium well (butcher issue to be fair... one end was worse). When I pointed out the steak was overdone, the server said... "It is?"... and looked at me as if I were wrong; that was the worst part. I've never been uncomfortable being honest about my steak when done incorrectly before, but here we are. So I didn't feel I could ask for a new one without lots of grumbles from staff. I was no longer hungry for anything else as offered, but would've loved the chef to insist on preparing a new one with a warm red center instead of pink. Not even one of our two (nonalcoholic) drinks was comped. At least our dog got lucky since I couldn't eat it. We just can't go back, and that's too bad, because everything else was fine.

Sitting in the tavern, we had some of the best cosmopolitans I've ever had. During our three different times having dinner there each meal was yummy, chosen from a lot of great options. This last visit we indulged in a bunch of dessert choices; all good but the cheesecake and the peanut butter and chocolate desserts were out of this world! Bruce and Emily and the staff, plus their three beautiful girls, make this a great experience. It is a sweet combination of a step back in time in a relaxing setting with more current cuisine options. We can't wait for the patio to open.

After giving this restaurant three separate chances since they opened, I can confidently say I won't be returning. I really wanted to like this restaurant because there are so few choices in the area and I love supporting local businesses. But I just can't. The service is ok (although I felt like we were getting rushed out when they removed my dinner companion's water glass after dinner). The decor is genuinely lovely, but the overall experience feels designed for snobs and status‑seekers, not people who actually care about good food at a fair price. And to be clear, I can very well afford the finest of restaurants but I still expect if I am paying a premium that the quality of the food be commensurate. It just isn't. I would have been better off at Leslie's Tavern or the New American Grill. Each visit has left me regretting the decision to try again. I kept hoping they just needed time to get into a groove, change up the menu or improve the vibe but nothing has improved -- if anything, it's gotten worse. My pizza arrived with a blackened, burnt bottom and was completely inedible. They did replace it, but by the time the new one came out, my dinner companions were nearly finished. That's not a minor inconvenience -- that's a kitchen that's not paying attention. And the pricing is simply indefensible. Examples: Six small shrimp with cocktail sauce: $19 And these shrimp were very small, tasteless and water logged. One can of flavored seltzer: $9 I was not in the mood for alcohol so my choices were limited. I should have just stuck to water but I am sure that would have elicited a look of disdain. The food is only okay on its best day, nowhere near good enough to justify the cost. And standard level dinner conversation needs to be whispered given how close people are seated near one another otherwise, the scowly looks are sent your way. Not fun. And the menu is just boring, it hardly ever changes. One companion ordered a pasta dish. They were left hungry after consuming it all to the point we were offering them our pizza slices so he could feel full. Portions are inadequate. After three visits, I've learned my lesson. I'm not going back. I wish them luck and I hope they take my comments to heart and make changes. Or not. It's their choice.
