First, the great: food is always fantastic. Everything is well-prepared, delicious, and…read morewell-portioned. The service staff is always knowledgeable, helpful, and most importantly, friendly. I cannot say enough about the food and the waitstaff. My husband and I have been visiting the Black Forest Inn at least twice a year for the past 5 years, sometimes with friends or family, and have never had a bad meal or experience once we were seated. The glaring issue is their hostess. Every time I have made a reservation, I am seated 20-30 mins AFTER my allotted time. Every single time, without fail, for the past 5 years. The hostess area seems to be managed very poorly. It's been the same woman every time I go; she is tall with gray hair, I did not get her name. I realize it's busy, and I can of course understand a few minutes wait time, but what is the point of a reservation if we won't be seated anywhere near the time we booked? Not only that but she is rude and short with every customer. I was with a party of four this past weekend, and checked in with her just before 6pm for our reservation at 6pm. She took my name and said she'd have our table ready in a minute after checking us in. She never looked up again. A minute or two later at most she says "can you move over to the side and get out of the way so I can check in the other customers." Um...okay, but she said she'd have our table ready in a minute that's why we were waiting there. We can't read minds. We would have gladly moved over if she had simply asked us nicely once she got the name on the reservation. Another gentleman walked over from the bar after apparently being told by someone else that his table for a party of two would be ready, and she was even worse. She barely looked up and said, "Can you get out of the way. I'll let you know when we can seat you." The look on that man's face said it all. There were more moments like this that night, we saw it all. There were two other women at the hostess desk and it didn't look like there is a process or reliable routine at all among them but at least the other two ladies were friendly. They had a notebook, an IPad, and various sheets of paper. I've never seen anything like it at an established restaurant. I realize it's a busy, it's Saturday, and it's Oktoberfest. But it is not acceptable to have people waiting 20-30 mins to be seated when they have a reservation, or being spoken to that way. We've had similar experiences no matter what time of year we visit. The hostess desk is a mess. If they can fix this and get a more streamlined, efficient table management system and a friendlier hostess, their only problem would be solved. We continue to go because everything else about the restaurant is phenomenal, but we shouldn't have to book a reservation at 6pm in order to know we'll eat by 7:30pm. Other than that, I highly recommend Black Forest Inn. Make a reservation, but bring your patience and comfortable shoes. You'll be waiting a while and there may not be a seat left in the lobby.

We were completely ignored, as our kids are throwing a fit for just water! Dinner took us three hours, and unfortunately, the food was not enough to make up for this massive inconvenience and terrible experience. They were drastically understaffed with only four servers for a very full and busy restaurant, but either way they have an issue that they're failing to address. The paltry level of service is unacceptable for any respectable restaurant.

On top of the amazing food, the staff is incredibly friendly and caring. They genuinely make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. If you're looking for authentic German cuisine, generous portions, and warm hospitality, this is the place to go. We'll definitely be back!

The dining room and layout does have that Euro feel and atmosphere. The service is always expedient and helpful answering questions on dishes. They have German beer so get your drink on if that's your thing. My favorite dish is the schnitzel, pounded just right to perfection, add some lemon with the potatoes and you got a legit meal. The sauerbraten melts in your mouth and the serving is just the right size. It's a bit on the pricey side but it's an exotic meal in the Upper East Side, so what do you want?!

I had a group dinner here for my parents and my boyfriend's mother to meet for the first time. This is perhaps not the perfect location for this type of thing, as it was extremely loud in the restaurant. Despite being very busy, the hostess made sure we had a comfortable table to sit at and were not too cramped. As expected, the beer selection is great and I enjoyed my Berliner Weisse very much. I ordered the goulash and kasespaetzle. The goulash was rich, well seasoned and filling. The spaetzle was soft and creamy, covered in lots of flavorful aged cheese with salty bacon bits and sweet onion. A very rich dish. Although I didn't technically order an entree, I still found myself pleasantly full at the end of the meal. The rest of my dining companions ordered either the schnitzel or the wurstplatte. All seemed very pleased with their food, and some even had leftovers to bring home due to large portions. This restaurant is certainly a fun spot to come, reservations recommended. There's a reason they've been open for so long.

The food was great, everyone ordered something different then we passed everything around and shared a little of each one.

Upon Leaving warm hugs and thanks from the wife for everyone and a solid handshake from the husband as well topped off the feeling like family vibe.
