I came to Emma's Steakhaus for a birthday dinner. It is nestled in a quaint part of Hanau near the…read moreSchloss Phillipsruhe. My first Impression of Emma's is a cozy feeling. The walls are painted a beautiful emerald green and the furniture is modern and chic. I also am a sucker for finer details such as the plates which were unique and interesting. The owner definitely took time to create a modern steakhouse experience. I especially loved their music. They had an awesome mix of 60s, 70s and 80s playing in the background. On to the service. We were greeted by a well dressed waiter who was very friendly, professional and took great care in serving us. I have to say it was the best service Ive had in Germany to date. We ordered a variety of steaks. The filet mignon, prime rib and beef medallions. Each plate came with a side of either potatoes with thyme or house cut fries. It also came with a Cesar salad or a spring salad. The sides were delicious, especially the fries. Well seasoned and crisp. The salads were good but I didn't feel like it was really a Cesar salad. Being such a nice steakhouse, they could step that salad up a bit with fresh Parmesan, homemade dressing and crotons. Throw some flavor on it. The steaks were perfect. We each ordered medium rare and they were cooked accordingly. The steaks were beautifully made and tasted heavenly. The presentation of the meat was also very nice. We were definitely impressed. Overall I love Emma's steakhouse. It's a wonderful addition to Hanau! I am excited to go back.

We enjoyed massive glasses of dark beer from the local brewery (http://www.schlappeseppel.de/) and I had a truly delicious chilli schnitzel (had a taste of the steak too, which was also nice). The side salad that accompanied all the meals came with a very tasty sauce. Even indulged ourselves with some digestifs in the form of some fruit and nut liquors. They were great too. And the total bill barely scraped above 50 Euros. I can't fault the place!

Steaks are Argentinian beef. Tender and delicious and cooked to order. I found that temperatures are a little under what we are used to in the states so medium well comes looking like medium, so order accordingly. Our steaks were delicious!! The homemade steak sauce is a bit spicy but very tasty. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and want a change from German fare!

For my last meal in Germany, I checked out Buffalo Steakhaus for dinner on a Tuesday evening…read more Steakhouses are popular in Germany and there's historical context. After WWII, a lot of Germans moved to Argentina. Argentina is known for its steakhouses. Some of these Germans moved back to Germany. Hence the connection. Ambiance (4/5): Buffalo has both a small patio in front of the restaurant and a good number of seating inside. I prefer al fresco dining in Europe but inside made for a good choice at this elegant restaurant. White tablecloths and nice decor always help. The seating is a little cramped and there isn't A/C, but this is common for Europe. Service (2/5): This one was a bit surprising. We were seated promptly. The service throughout was attentive, especially by European standards. Efficient but not overly friendly. When I asked for the bill, I gave them cash. The waiter never brought my change back. Let's keep a couple of things in mind here. In Europe, unlike the States, one to two Euros is a typical tip. And it's not standard. This is because waiters get paid more in Europe than the U.S. so they don't rely on tips. The change that I was supposed to receive was close to four Euros. I was planning to give a tip initially but I was taken aback that the waiter would assume I was giving him a large tip by European standards without asking. Never in my life has something like this happened to me. It's standard procedure to give the customer their change unless they say not to. From there, it is their option to decide how much of the change, if any, to leave as a tip. A sour end to an excellent dining experience. Drinks (4/5): Buffalo has a full bar, including an extensive wine list. Since it's an Argentinian steakhouse, I was looking for a Malbec. One, it pairs well with steak. Two, it's Argentinian. And three, it's one of my favorite types of wine. They only had two Malbecs on the menu. The one I selected was a hit. Food (5/5): When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since I was at a steakhouse, I went with the sirloin, medium rare, with a loaded baked potato. In the U.S., when you get a loaded baked potato, it typically comes with butter, sour cream, and bacon. Sometimes cheese. Here, it comes with a lot of sour cream and some chives. I also tried some of the tenderloin and corn on the cob. Everything was beyond delicious. My steak was cooked just right. It was juicy. The sides were fantastic. A perfect meal. It won't come cheap but it's quality. I was a bit bummed my the service mishap, but overall, I had an excellent meal.
