    Such a cute little gem outside the bustling city. Can't wait for cooler weather to enjoy the patio and sunsets. Staff were great and helpful.

    Where are we? Way out in the middle of nowhere, that's where. Dorn Michelle's is located in a renovated farm house closer around Rio Medina just north of Castroville. We stopped in for Saturday lunch, meeting up with family coming in from all directions. Table of 7. I had Trout. Hubby had Shrimp. Ended the meal with Roasted Pineapple Cheesecake, that I shared with the table. Delicious and rich. Service is excellent. Kitchen is slow... and they weren't busy. Kitchen is also located in a separate building in back. Ambiance is really nice. Patio looks fun, like a great place to enjoy a meal when weather is cooler. I'd give it another try when in the area on a beautiful evening. Make reservations.

    Dorn Michelle is a hidden gem in the quaint town of Castroville! Located in a charming old-fashioned building that feels like someone's cozy home, this spot serves up flavorful comfort food with a unique mix of German, Asian, Mexican, and American dishes--there's something for everyone. I had the Firecracker Chicken with rice (so good!), my husband loved the Jaegerschnitzel, and my mother-in-law enjoyed the Fiesta Pasta Salad with a nice spicy kick. Great service, plenty of parking, and lots of outdoor seating make this a must-visit!

    Corn Ribs it's delicious must have definitely a treat!!!

    The Ambiance the food the drinks and especially the people. It's my kind of atmosphere and I look forward to going every time. My favorite appetizer is their corn ribs and I also get this treat First so that I can finish it...pineapple cheesecake is the BOMB!

    My other fav food place! This is a quaint little renovated home turned restaurant out in Castroville. The food is AMAZING. We've never had a dish we don't like. We go out once a month. It's a definite must try! Call ahead and make a reservation. And Ps - Wednesday night are Wok nights (Asian food) I wish I had taken photos every time we've gone because everything is great! The party melt burger is great and so is the adobo chicken

    This trip Service 5/5 Food 3.5-4 We recently came for dinner service as a group of 6 on a weekend. Restaurant wasn't packed and we were seated immediately and our server was super friendly. We ordered a couple of drinks and a variety of their dishes- jagerschnitzel ala Holstein per our server, jagerschnitzel, firecracker chicken, and chicken adobo. Food coming out was very very slow! I had to sip my sangria slowly as I needed food to pair. We were all starving. Maybe a complimentary bread basket might be nice to hold customers over while food is prepared. My jagerschnitzel ala Holstein was underwhelming and bland. The schnitzel had a nice breaded texture, but the sauce was scant and flavorless. The sauerkraut as well had no flavor and the potatoes were nice and crispy, but dry. I had to add salt and pepper as well as my friend who ordered the same dish. The entire dish needed a lift. I ate the entire dish because I was so hungry. The chicken adobo dish needed some tweaks. Can't tell from the pic, but the portion was small. Two guys at our table ordered it and finished it within minutes! The chicken breast was dry too. Not enough food for the price charged. I'm all for supporting local establishments. It is a cute, quaint restaurant and I love the farmhouse feel. Service was awesome, just a few improvements need to be added to the food.

    Loved this restaurant. Unfortunately when we went they were out of chicken and New York Steak. That ruled out a good portion of the menu. However the burgers and schnitzel that we had was excellent. The location is off the beaten path and a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The staff was pleasant and well informed of their menu.

    We have been seeing this place on a Facebook page that we are a part of, and people have been loving it! It just opened a few weeks ago on March 25th. We arrived as soon as they opened, outside it looks like a small country house with a lot of parking! We walk up to the open door and a very nice lady was sweeping and she said hello and come on in, sit anywhere you like. So, we chose a seat inside the first room, and it was very nice inside, all new paint and furniture with nice decor. She came back quickly, and we chatted about the weather a little and she took our drink and appetizer order. She quickly came out with our drinks, a few minutes later our app arrived! We ordered the Crab Rangoon, we got 6 of them with a great sauce! These Rangoon were great, seemed very fresh and handmade, not full of just cream cheese but with meat and veggies! Best Rangoon I've ever had! We received our food about 12 minutes after that, I got the Pork Schnitzel plate! (Which was huge) The schnitzel was cooked perfectly and had good flavor I really enjoyed the cabbage and capers as well! My wife got the Steak and Frites (another huge plate), the steak was cooked a little more than she asked but was very tender, the Chimichurri had good flavor and also came with a horseradish sauce that was great, and a huge portion of fries or frites! Stuffed to the brim we ordered the Pineapple cheesecake! The cheesecake was great! It came with a pineapple habanero sauce and walnuts! The sauce and nuts paired perfect with the cheesecake in my opinion. Great family-owned place with great service! We will definitely check them out again and hopefully sit outside on a cool summer night!

I had the cheeseburger wrap which was great and very filling, my husband had the rattlesnake (to die for and not overly spicy). We shared some amazing chips and queso and our daughter loved her chicken tenders and french fries- all of it made to order and fresh! My mom had the Santa Fe wrap and my husband and I split the sea salt chocolate chip cookie. Everything was so fantastic and filling and the service was top notch and as great as the food. There is a small playground for kids, outdoor seating, covered seating and very little indoor seating. I will definitely come back! My only hesitation is we came at lunchtime and there weren't many people there but there was hardly any parking. I'm not sure how dinner or a weekend is. But it's a great place!

Annetta and Daniel are the owners who are almost always at the store, and everyone who works here is very nice. They really care about fresh, nutritious, and delicious food and it shows. Sometimes they'll make a little more smoothie than fits in your cup and give you the extra in a little cup they call a "share size" (whether or not you actually share it with anyone is up to you lol) My partner ALWAYS gets the funky monkey and loves it. I tend to explore the menu more and I've found my favorite is the dreamy dragon bowl but I haven't had a smoothie I didn't like. Mango bango is a great fruity choice. Can't go wrong with the wraps and hot food either!
