Our first visit here and the food was marvelous. We had the whole place to ourselves and the cucumber salad was refreshing and really complimented our main courses. The Jagerschnitzel was just like what I remember from visiting various places in Germany. To top it off, the coffee and black forest cake perfect. We are looking forwarding to visiting again.

Chicken schnitzel, mushroom sauce, spatzle, and green beans.

I love German food so I jumped at the opportunity to check this place out. To start, the service was impeccable! I can't recall the name of our waitress, but she was very friendly, knowledgeable about every item across various menus (dinner, bar, and beverages), and she was very patient given that 2 in my party were annoyingly indecisive and asked a ton of questions. I ordered the house Pinot Grigio, which was absolutely delicious much to my delight. It was light, fruity, and a little sweet, but not overly so. It was also happy hour at the time so I got a nice discount! For my meal, I went with the chicken schnitzel and added the mushroom sauce. My sides were spatzle and the veggie of the day, sautéed green beans. The spatzle was bland, but I just dipped it in the AMAZING mushroom sauce. Seriously, I want to pour that sauce on my whole life! It was so good. I did pour it over the schnitzel, which was good on its own, but better with the sauce. And the green beans were tasty, I inhaled those too. Definitely going back here, I have plans to conquer the rest of that menu!

Empty at dinner. A red flag we ignored.

NASTY NASTY NASTY: The WORST German food I've ever had in my 33 years on this planet. We should have known something was wrong when at 530pm there was no one seated for dinner but the parking lot was packed for the bar potion of the restaurant. Hint: no one at the bar was eating. We ordered the Jaret schnitzel for two. We chewed our food in silence trying to comprehend how food could be this bad. It was incredibly greasy with no flavor and definitely not a larger enough portion for two adults. I ordered a potato dumpling for my side. The texture was dry and confusing. The poor potato tasted like cardboard. Needless to say we left 80% of our food on that plate. We honestly feel like we were bamboozled. Our waitress didn't even ask if we wanted boxes because she knew that food was NASTY. She KNEW.

After spending many a summer nights at Blobs Park and the subsequent closure, I felt the area was missing out on a place to celebrate, enjoy, and introduce German culture in the Baltimore/DC corridor. I was skeptical that the old Gunnings location could provide that experience and although there's no replacing Blobs, the food and beer selection take you to that place of Gemütlichkeit for a brief moment. My only criticism would be that they need to advertise and step up the decor just a little to either provide a bierhall or hunting lodge experience. Well done though with superb German offerings like Sauerbraten and sausages with red cabbage, sauerkraut, and potato salad. Prost!!

Pork cordon blue.

The food exceeded my expectations. If you grew up eating German food this definitely is worth the visit. The coleslaw was creamy and flavorful. The red potatoes was reminiscent of my grandmother's. The schnitzel was heaven. The only drawback was the long wait for drinks. An easy fix would likely just leave a pitcher of water on the table. Overall this has been one of the most enjoyable dinners with my family.

The escargot, the soup the shnitzel all delicious. This place is 2 and a half hour away from where we live but it is worth it. Would love to come back.

This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences…read more I ordered the rice and shrimp dish, and for $36, I expected much better quality. The rice was severely undercooked, and although the menu advertised tiger shrimp, the shrimp served were much smaller than the tiger shrimp I've had at other restaurants. The portion and quality simply didn't justify the price. The service was even more disappointing. We were a party of 17, and it felt like our table was an inconvenience. I personally asked for water three separate times and still never received it. No one at the table had their glasses refilled. There was little to no initiative to check on our table, refill drinks, or make sure we had what we needed. Instead, it felt like our server was rushing us through the meal. I understand that serving a large party can be challenging, but if one server wasn't comfortable handling a group of this size, they should have asked for assistance from other staff. Large parties deserve attentive service just like any other table. Overall, the combination of overpriced, underwhelming food and poor service made for a very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return or recommend this restaurant based on this visit.

It's so refreshing to have a traditional restaurant experience in a comfortable dining room with…read moreattentive service and yummy food! In an era of overpriced, trendy, and noisy eateries, where the staff seem to be indifferent and the vibe feels contrived, experiencing Old Europe feels special! Truth be told, I'm a fan of traditional German cuisine (and German beer), so I was excited to try out this historic restaurant. Not only were my expectations met, but they were exceeded! The portions were hearty and the flavors were authentic! I went away happy and satisfied, and looking forward to my return! This restaurant is truly a gem!

A German restaurant near Georgetown/Navy Observatory. I went there with my friend for a weekend…read morelunch recently. The restaurant had many special, European style decors inside. For food, we tried the following: 1. Wiener Schnitzel: you can choose veal or pork and 1 or 2 pc. My friend did 1pc of veal schnitzel. Served with roasted potatoes and a pickles+lentil salad. The seasoning of the schnitzel mostly came from the coating. The salad had pickled cabbage, cucumbers, greens, tomatoes and lentils; a bit salty but overall refreshing. 2. Porchierte Lachsschnitte: Salmon entree. Very disappointing. The salmon was flour-coated and pan-seared, but as they put steamed shaved carrots & green onions on it, the outside layer of the fish was very soggy. Even worse, the salmon was not fresh at all -- the meat was stone-hard -- harder than a fully-cooked steak. The parsley potatoes turned out to be my fav for this dish. 3. Apple Cabbage: Red cabbage braised in apple cider maybe? The cabbage was soft and slightly sour-sweet. 4. Complimentary bread: A small bread basket with some French bread, seeded toast, whole wheat toast, and white toast. Not fresh, dry, cold. Overall tasted cheap and bad. Service was also disappointing. We waited for over 50min to get our food. When we were waiting, our server never showed up. Luckily she took the salmon entree off my bill after I complained about it. Not a good restaurant. Not recommended even if you like German food.

Both my parents were German. So I grew up eating German Foods. I cook German foods from having…read morelearned them from my mother. So my review may sting a little and I'll try to be fair. I had hopes it was going to be delicious. I was greeted and seated quickly after i arrived around 11:30 am in. The dining hall was nicely decorated for Oktoberfest! My drink in order was taken but took about 10 minutes to arrive. I took a little more time ordering and I was seeing what other diners had on the tables near me. I started with a house salad and a pretzel. I will say the dressing on the salad was so good - creamy and a bit sweet. The salad size was generous put it contain mixed lettuce, walnuts, onions, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and I think cranberries. Really good. My pretzel was absolutely amazing! Perfectly salted and warm and chewy. I'm not a fan of beer cheese so I stuck with the mustard! For my main I had the Grilled Beer Brats. My sides were sauerkraut, German potato salat and red cabbage. The brats were delicious perfectly seasoned and served hot! The potato salad was good also. But the sauerkraut was too sweet and the seasoning not quite to my taste. I prefer a nice tangy vinegary sauerkraut with less caraway seeds. Sour tangy kraut gets the mouth watering and leads to more beer drinking! The red cabbage a touch too sweet and I removed all the apples from my dish. The kraut here again vous be a bit more sour and used more vinegar. I make my own red cabbage and it would knock the socks off anyone eating it! Since I was full I passed on desserts so I can't tell you what they had. I really wished they could offer say: bratwurst on a roll with one side for lighter appetites and also a Leberkäse on a roll. Those two things are my favorite Lieblings Essen! I'd say try Alpine Kitchen but if you're German like me, maybe not have high expectations but for the typical American it's perfectly fine.
