The restaurant appears to target faculty and students of the university, but also seeks clientele from outside the school. It is a genuine restaurant and bar (i.e., not a school cafeteria).
On our visit, we were the only Americans in dining room. The remaining customers were German. I had the calves liver, cooked to order (medium). A generous portion was provided, with each slice of liver sitting atop mashed potatoes, and sauteed onions and apples, with an appropriate quantity of brown gravy.
My wife had a green salad with roasted chicken strips. The quantity was generous, and dressing tasty.
Most, but not all items, are cooked onsite (I believe this is true for most restaurants). They disclose which are/are not cooked onsite.
Beer and wine are served.
