Very friendly and family oriented atmosphere! My husband had the lamb chops with veggies and fries. The chops were delicious! I ordered the French onion soup and the Nicoise Salad with tuna.

Once inside, we again waited quite a while - over an hour for our food. We were a party of four and ordered breakfast items. Thank goodness this was a long overdue connection with the parents and we had lots to connect over. Once our food arrived, it was radio silent - always a good sign. I ordered Chorizo Avocado Benny. Parents ordered eggs and ham, partner ordered breakfast enchiladas. Everything was incredible - well seasoned, locally sourced with fresh ingredients and cooked to order. Yum. Even though the wait was a bit much, we'd return. The food was outstanding.

This restaurant is already quite well rated. The main purpose of my review is to let people know…read morethat A NEW LOCATION HAS OPENED In SNOWMASS VILLAGE. It is not even on the website for the Basalt location yet nor is it listed as of this writing on Yelp. People, please -- go to this restaurant. It was fantastic. I would like to share my 14 year-old daughter's comments on her entree, which are probably a little over the top, but reflect how much we all enjoyed the meal. She had the chicken schnitzel. "This is the best food I have ever had in a restaurant." "This is the best chicken I have ever had -- sorry mom." "This gives a whole new meaning to the word, 'chicken.' " I had the jager schnitzel (pork) with spaetzle. Very, very good. All of the schnitzels we ordered were very tender, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Spaetzle was delicious. The salads were good as well. I had a "Serbian salad" which at first glance would not seem like it would be much to crow about -- mostly cucumbers -- but somehow, with the heirloom tomatoes and dressing they used, also exceptionally good. Finally, we had the apple strudel. I've never met a strudel that I didn't like, but my wife, who is a bit more discriminating, thought it was one of the best she'd had -- light, buttery, not too heavy. My daughter does not like raisins or nuts in desserts. She said it was so good she didn't care that it had the two things she likes least in desserts in it. A couple of other comments. First, when you think German or Austrian food, you think "heavy." This food was not. It was delicious and satisfying but not heavy at all. Second, for the area, the prices are pretty good. $150 for three people with a la carte salads, entrees, and dessert. The service was great -- very prompt, very attentive, pleasant, but not overdoing. Ambience was nice, except for the fact that it was a little empty, which is a shame that must be rectified by diners in the area reading this review as soon as possible. Finally, not drinking these days, but the beer and wine menus looked pretty darned good. (Which I guess you would expect in a good Austrian restaurant, but at least you know they checked that box as well). Simple, perfectly executed menu, family friendly, not too expensive, light and satisfying Austrian food. Go.
