WOW! I ordered the wienerschnitzel with a beurre blanc sauce and spaetzl and it was so fresh, flavorful, and filling. I also had the goulash which was good but honestly I prefer the crappy American version with the noodles lol. My husband got the Schwarbien plate with a smoked pork chop, sausage, and double smoked bacon- I could eat a plate of that bacon by itself it literally melted in my mouth The ambience of the restaurant was a great mix of quaint and cozy while still being upscale Definitely going to keep this in our nice restaurant rotation

I had been following Kurt's Bistro on Instagram since the Covid years, but hadn't had a chance to…read morecome out until recently. My initial impression was very poor. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation, but were told our table was already ready, so we were seated. (The restaurant tables are very close together, so be aware that if anyone in your party is wheelchair bound, it may be difficult for them to maneuver around.) The restaurant is kept very warm inside, and I'm usually someone who feels cold easily, but even I was rather hot. A woman brought water glasses and a water carafe to our table and said, "If you want something besides water, just let me know," and then walked off. So, in my mind, that woman was a food assistant or a food runner. Turned out, she was our waitress! She later stopped by, didn't introduce herself and didn't ask if we'd ever been there before, but did ask if we wanted an appetizer. We ordered Potato Pancakes. She also asked if we wanted bread service, so we said yes. We did notice from other conversations at the very close tables near ours, that many of the customers are regulars and have their favorite waitstaff. The manager had stopped by a table to regrettably inform a couple that their favorite waiter was out for 2 weeks. So, that did give us hope that if they have regulars, it must be good. The Potato Pancakes were delicious! (I didn't even stop to snap a picture because we were very hungry!) My husband ordered the "Bier" + Cheese Burger ($16.95), and I ordered the Pork Shank "Schwweinehaxe" ($34). The waitress said she had to check the availability of the Pork Shank, so I told her that if it wasn't available, to put in Chicken Wienerschnitzel. Then she didn't come back to let us know what the kitchen said. My husband flagged her down to find out if the pork shank was available, and she said she'd forgotten to come back, but that it was. He also told her that it was my birthday, so she brought out a cute birthday tea light for the table. The food was absolutely delicious, and for the price point, you can easily see why people are regulars there! The pork shank was enormous! (We ate off of it 2 more times after we took it home. The restaurant gave us extra gravy at no charge, too.) The rosemary mashed potatoes were very good! The presentation was lovely! My husband really enjoyed his burger. Then for dessert, our waitress brought out a slice of tiramisu with a wedge of chocolate cake over it, berries, whipped cream, and a little birthday candle in it. Turned out really wonderful! Will definitely go back to this unique spot!

Great "rainy day" vibes, but the food was a game of two halves…read more If you're looking for a cozy, intimate spot to hide from the rain, the atmosphere here is 10/10. It's a small, "tucked away" bistro with low lights and chalkboard menus that give it a really warm, authentic feel. The service was also impressively fast. The Good: The soup! We ordered the Broccoli Cheddar and the Mushroom Soup. Both were fantastic, but the Mushroom Soup was the star--deep, rich umami flavor that hit the spot perfectly. The Bad: The main courses really fell short. Fettuccine Bernadette: Very creamy, but seemingly no salt was used at all. It was quite a disappointment. Spicy Chicken Panini: Pretty bland. It lacked seasoning and the peppers felt under-grilled. The Verdict: While the server was great and the soup was memorable, the rest of the meal didn't justify the struggle to find parking. We've flagged this as a place we likely won't return to, unless we're just stopping in for a quick bowl of soup.

The mashed potatoes and sauce were hot but the meat was cold, at room temperature. So I asked to have the stuffed peppers heated. The plate came back looking exactly the same as I had left it. I knew it was microwaved. The meat was finally hot but when I took a bite of the mashed potatoes and sauce, it was so extremely hot that I burned my mouth and was in pain for 3 weeks. I would not go back here and wouldn't recommend it.

Yum Yum Yum! I mean what more can I say?! I was very impressed with my experience here. From…read morethe food to the service, everything was amazing. The bartenders were very attentive; even with the busyness of the bar because of happy hour. I didn't order any food items from the HH menu but I did order a cocktail which was the limoncello spritz. It was good. A little tart for my palette. I tend to venture more on the sweet side but decided to order the spritz since it's springtime. The star of my visit was the Caesar salad which they call the grilled gems. There's 3 whole wedges of lettuce, grilled and drizzled with Caesar dressing and a hemp of Parmesan cheese. And they did not skimp on the cheese. And honestly that's how you're a Caesar salad is supposed to be. I would've LOVED to have croutons or maybe almonds just for the crunch but it was still good. I'd definitely come back just for that. I didn't order a full on entree but I did get dessert. The Crème Fraiche gelato to be exact. The olive oil drizzle sold me. While I don't think this is gelato, it was still good. To me, the texture gave regular vanilla ice cream. The olive oil gelato at Iberian pig is still number one in my book. I definitely want to try their garden menu which is exclusive to the patio area and the bread pudding. I hear it doesn't have raisins.

The service was amazing, especially María, who truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly kind and made us feel at home the entire time. It felt like no matter what we needed, she was genuinely happy to help, and that's something you really appreciate when dining out. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a great atmosphere, especially at night. It's perfect for celebrating a birthday or going with a group because they have a QR code system where everyone can pay for their own items. No splitting checks, no awkward math, just super easy and convenient, especially for larger parties. Food wise, everything we ordered was delicious. I shared a charcuterie board with three friends and it was really good. We also ordered the tuna carpaccio, which was amazing and came with natural potato chips that were honestly a 10 out of 10. We ordered a pizza as well, I don't remember the name but it had mushrooms and it was so good. For drinks, my go to cocktail is an espresso martini and even though it wasn't on the menu, they were able to make it for me. It was perfect, with a strong coffee flavor, which I personally love in an espresso martini. Overall, Ecco Midtown was an incredible experience. Amazing food, amazing service, and a great atmosphere. If you're looking for a great place to celebrate with friends and enjoy good food and cocktails, this is definitely a great option.

My wife's mushroom ravioli was good. However, they committed the cardinal sin on my eggplant by undercooking it. This made it chewy and lacking flavor. This is an amateur move. As to service, I can confirm what others have said about it being very slow. The waitress absent for extended periods of time. I suspect that much of the delay had to do with the lack of food coming out of the kitchen. The restaurant was less than half full on a Thursday night so I don't understand why the kitchen was having so many problems. We might give it was more try in a few months to see if the get things figured out but I'm not very optimistic.

I couldn't find the Cucina Rustica pizzeria but this is the same sister restaurant right next door…read more The ambiance is very mute, nothing special about this place. The food is very bland. We all had different things but it was a miss. They don't do substitutions on toppings so beware of charges! We didn't want any olives so we were charged $3.50 for tomatoes. It also made one of my friends a little sick. The ONLY reason why they get a better rating is because of Shannon. She was WONDERFUL. We absolutely loved her. She went above and beyond and was so so kind. I'd actually go back and eat the pizza bc of her. If you have NO other option please go see her. Not the pizza, it's not worth it in my humble option.

I really like Halsa!!…read more At first, I was tempted to pass up on this place because of the overall mid-ranged yelp ratings, but Im so glad my friend insisted on us trying it out. Customer service was engaging and friendly, and offered excellent recommendations. And our food took a bit longer than usually expected to come to our table, but I didn't mind because it seems like almost everything is made to order. Also, they describe their food as "clean". Both the krispy kale and Brussel sprouts tacos (w/ salmon instead of tofu) and the build a burger were tasty with both flavors being on point. The outdoor seating is a nice modern wooden set up with the cutest table fans that kinda resemble windmill architecture. The drinks were good..and strong, so beware. I had the cucumber bliss (gin, cucumber, lime soda, lime juice, agave, and elderflower). My friend had the house margarita (tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave). Overall, we enjoyed dining at Halsa..and highly recommend! don't let the older reviews discourage you.

The Vietnamese stall inside Super H Mart in Johns Creek closed 2 months ago. A new European stall…read morehas opened in its place. My curiosity got piqued when I was walking by and saw gulasch on the menu board. I mean, gulasch in a food court? I'm so there. But what really won me over was the picture of the bread dumplings next to the gulasch. When I was in Prague last year, I ate bread dumplings 3-4 times a day. The entire week! Bread, in an form, is my absolute weakness. So I ordered a couple of things -- the gulasch and the frikadellen. I should have known it wasn't gonna be authentic after I found out that the Korean grandmother hostess was none other than the cook. She is the nicest, sweetest grandmother, though, and fed me like a starving granddaughther who hasn't eaten in days. The gulasch, as expected, tasted more Korean than Czechoslovakian. It was really Korean stew, if anything else. It did taste bold and flavorful, and the meat pieces were very tender. Unfortunately, the bread dumplings are only for photography purposes as I learned they'll never have it available. The frikadellen (German meat patties) were as delicious as the German version -- meaty with spinach, carrots, and a bit of cilantro in the filling. All meals come with a side of salad (and soup if requested; she gave me both). This is a good place to eat homecooked European meals with a touch of Korean. Meals start at $5.95 and portions are huge. Other menu items include pasta bolognese, schnitzel, Asian noodles, fried rice, fish, chicken tenders. Where else can you order gulasch with fried rice?
