Really if I could give the place 3.5 stars I would, but I rounded up because overall it was a nice experience. We didn't mean to eat here, but the other two restaurants that we popped into were completely booked with one saying they could give us a table at 10 p.m. On a Friday night they had a couple tables available and we sat at one of the tables across from the bar. It was a bit quieter than some of the other restaurants, but I kind of liked that and so did Mr. Snarky because we can have a conversation without screaming.
A lot of people have mentioned the service, but it was on par for Munich...actually it was a bit better than some of the other places we went to where the staff really couldn't be bothered. The menu included some classic German food, but also seemed to have a few more upmarket dishes. It isn't an extensive menu, but there were a few things that really took our fancy. I ended up going with the schnitzel while Mr. Snarky went with the roast pork. I also decided to have some beer, and of course the bartender assumed Mr. Snarky had ordered it... lame.
As I was looking at the menus on the table, I realised that it is a Brandy Bar. They have an extensive brandy menu, so if that is your thing, then you must stop in. They do have tables outside across the walk way and it is probably quite nice in the summer. My schnitzel was nice, but nothing special. I did like that it was served with three different types of salads rather than more French Fries, but if you aren't a fan of their salads, then you may not enjoy this. Mr. Snarky did not like the sauce the roast pork was in as he found it quite sour and overpowering to everything else on the plate. I had a taste and didn't particularly like the sauce, but the roast pork was really nice and tender.
Our waitress asked if we wanted some schnapps and didn't quite understand how Mr. Snarky didn't want to partake, but I took her up on it. Not actually sure what type of schnapps it was, but I was definitely warm after drinking it. When she came back to settle the bill, she kept saying, "I like you together." She had checked on us a couple of times and even though she was a bit abrupt, she at least seemed a bit interested. It was a bit pricey though compared to some of the other restaurants we went to. I'd be happy to go back again and try some of the other dishes on the menu. read more
