I know, I know, people think it's gross. Not these ones tho, so definitely don't let it sit on the edge of your plate. Nothing we ordered was mediocre--even the beers! I can't say enough good things about Grünauer, and, to prove that, I'm back tonight!!

Food and menus options are absolutely wonderful, allowing the patron to truly enjoy the best Germany has to offer. Choose wisely because the portion sizes are huge. Service could have been a little better; our waiter was a no frills type of guy. I think the potted plant I saw in the window of Grunauer had more personality than him. Nonetheless, we'll try this place again as the quality of the food made us forget about the person serving it.

The cabbage role is one that I look at their weekly menu and have a hard time deciding when to go because it all sounds so good. They have one of the best burgers in town, cooked fresh hand pattied and seasoned to perfection. The cabbage roll sandwich is just perfect with a side for a lighter lunch. Oh.....and if you can resist the homemade dessert selection good for you becuase it is a must when I'm there. I even pre-order for the holidays their pies are a nice addition and tastes as good if not better than my own!

This was my first time and I felt like I knew these people or they were family. They played with our daughter, brought her food and toys. Amazing. THEN you talk about the food. The execution of these meals was second to none for this cuisine. Huge schnitzel. Delicious pairings. I can't believe I hadn't been here sooner. All you need to know is thumbs up.

So, so, so happy because my husband chose Affare Restaurant to celebrate my birthday evening! It…read morewas truly an experience eating here, and it's the perfect date night spot if you want a quiet, cozy, and intimate dinner! Since my bday was on a Fri night, parking was a bit of a challenge in downtown KC, and I really suggest arriving at least 15 minutes early. As soon as we got in, the staff greeted us (all wore casual t-shirts matching the restaurant feel). The vibe inside felt modern and bit rustic with German-inspired articles displayed near the entrance and front side of the restaurant giving it an overall homely feel - nothing too basic and nothing very fancy. As we walked towards our table, I saw my free bday treat kept on the table - fresh apricot cream and blueberries dessert with a little "Happy Birthday" chocolate and candle. I loved seeing it right away instead of at the end, and it was perfect for a diabetic lol giveeeee me fresh fruit with cream any day!!!. The waitress greeted us warmly, went over the drinks and appetizer menu, and even wished me happy birthday in German - Loved the authentic touch. I was honestly mind-blown by the selection of non-alcoholic drinks at this restaurant - I was practically jumping with joy. They had everything from alcoholic and non alcoholic wines, beers to cocktails and 0 sugar herbal sparkling waters. I chose the herbal sparkling water, and my husband went for 2 alcoholic cocktails - Armchair Expert, which had cognac smoked to perfection with a rich flavor, and the Orange Boulevardier, a bourbon drink with an orange flair. Appetizer - we ordered the half charcuterie board, which came with a variety of cheeses from nearby farms, smoked pig liver paste, salamis, prosciutto, some pickled salad, German mustard, and house bread. The charcuterie board was fun to try because we got to explore different flavors, and the smoked liver paste was spectacular and my favvvv. I thought the house bread could have been better (were a bit dry and hard), but overall I was very happy with the appetizer. Soup - Igot a soup for myself called Suppe von Wald und Wiesenpilzen a vegan, tasty, hearty mushroom soup that will leave you surprised and make you wonder why creamy high calorie mushroom soups even exist lol. Main Course - I chose the Gegrillter Barramundi which came with perfectly cooked wild rice and mushrooms, and my husband went for the Hirschrücken unter Pekannusskruste - a venison steak with apple bread dumplings. Both dishes were very unique - the barramundi was grilled to perfection and beautifully plated over the veggies and wild rice, and the venison steak tasted divine with the huckleberry demi-glace bringing sweet and savory flavors together. To end this heavenly meal, we got the same dessert, finishing the birthday evening on a sweet note. The restaurant is also priced well for the fab dishes they have. One suggestion I would give is to have a chef accomplishments wall inside the main dining area walls, because when I went to the restroom I saw all the amazing certificates and news articles the chefs had earned. I would have loved to learn about t during my dinner experience. Highly, highly recommend this restaurant!

Having sung that piece more than 100 times, it sounded like a good fit for us. Margie is half German and I'm the less significant half of Margaret! Is this the German restaurant of your dreams of days spent in Stuttgart or Vienna? No. It's decent authentic look alike menu items taste similar to what you were anticipating, but fall short of causing you to plan your next visit. Sorry. Margie had the decent rouladen and I had a rather dry and tasteless Wiener schnitzel that was more converse shoe leather than that cute little Keller around the corner from St Stephen's.
