I ended up here because of the Michelin guide. It was open on a Monday at 5 pm, so I suggested an edit on Yelp. Call before you go just in case they change their hours.
It was very chill and laid back, but a well put together atmosphere all the same. The staff was attentive, the food elevated traditional German cuisine, and reasonable prices (as compared to LA). The asparagus soup was exceptional. The flavors were both lite and decadent. I would come back for that soup, for sure.
I also had the schnitzel (chicken) with the potatoes with green onions and bacon, as well as the cucumber dill salad. Both of these were excellent accompaniment to the schnitzel. The potatoes were not hot when they arrived, I'm not sure if that was intentional or not. The cucumber salad partnered well with the fried schnitzel, balancing the heaviness. The berry compote that sat on the table, provided a slightly sweet and sour edge to the breaded chicken. I tried the pepper corn sauce also. I usually do not enjoy sweet with my savory, but the berry compote was just tart enough to be worth the risk. read more
