BRUCE S.

AWESOME! This is the best looking Trader Vic's I have been to. Drinks were great and so was the food. If you want to impress your friends and neighbors here, order the Son OF Dr. Funk. This drink comes in a glass surrounded by an ice cone and it will cause heads to turn! The basement location is great-it is so different from the decor in the rest of the hotel. We had an issue wit hthe online reservation-they didn't get it, but fortunately we only had to wait a half hour for a table and we weren't in a hurry. This is the busyist Trader Vics we have been to.

Schezuan Chicken.  Unbelievably salty.  The way you see it is the way I left it.  I couldn't eat it.  Awful.

English. Awful, Awful, Awful!!! I cannot stress this enough. Let me go through the evening. We arrived with reservations already made. The hostess seats us at a 2 top rather than a 4 top which would be nice to have the extra space around you. I get they want to conserve larger tables for larger parties but the place was about 20% capacity and it was already 7pm. Also, the hostess was jamming everyone into one section of the dining area. Would have been nice to have some space between your fellow diners and have a little intimacy while you dined. Next is the prices, this place is ridiculously priced for what all intense purposes is basic Chinese food. €6.40 euro for a very small dish of "special fried rice"? There was nothing special about it. The entrees recieved (schezuan chicken/€24.00 and a vegetable dish) were very heavy handed with salt making it inedible. The Mai Tai had a very strong alcohol flavor and they serve coca cola in the small bottle size. Can't understand why there were water glasses on the table but they were never filled. This furniture in the restaurant is old and loose. This place is an embarrassment to Chinese/asian cuisine. Dont say that you have been warned. Go anywhere but this place. The people of Munich deserve much better than this.... Deutsche (from google translate) Schrecklich, schrecklich, schrecklich !!! Ich kann das nicht genug betonen. Lass mich den Abend durchgehen. Wir kamen mit bereits vorgenommenen Reservierungen an. Die Gastgeberin setzt uns eher auf eine 2 als auf eine 4, was schön wäre, wenn Sie zusätzlichen Platz um sich herum hätten. Ich habe gehört, dass sie größere Tische für größere Gruppen aufbewahren möchten, aber der Platz hatte eine Kapazität von etwa 20% und es war bereits 19 Uhr. Die Gastgeberin stopfte auch alle in einen Bereich des Essbereichs. Wäre schön gewesen, etwas Platz zwischen Ihren Mitessern zu haben und ein wenig Intimität zu haben, während Sie zu Abend gegessen haben. Als nächstes kommen die Preise, dieser Ort ist lächerlich günstig für das, was alle intensiven Zwecke ist chinesisches Grundnahrungsmittel. 6,40 Euro für ein ganz kleines Gericht mit "speziellem gebratenem Reis"? Es war nichts Besonderes daran. Die erhaltenen Vorspeisen (Schezuan Huhn / 24,00 € und ein Gemüsegericht) waren sehr schwer mit Salz, was es ungenießbar machte. Die Mai Tai hatten einen sehr starken Alkoholgeschmack und sie servieren Coca Cola in der kleinen Flaschengröße. Kann nicht verstehen, warum es Wassergläser auf dem Tisch gab, aber sie wurden nie gefüllt. Diese Möbel im Restaurant sind alt und locker. Dieser Ort ist eine Verlegenheit für die chinesische / asiatische Küche. Sagen Sie nicht, dass Sie gewarnt wurden. Gehen Sie irgendwo anders als an diesen Ort. Die Münchner verdienen viel mehr als das ....

A basement Tiki bar serving up Mai Tais and Singapore Slings until the early morning hours in Munich. Need you ask more.

We all LOVED this wonderful restaurant! The service, food, and ambience were all terrific. This was…read morethe highlight on our trip to Munich. We would definitely come back again and would highly recommend this place. Everything from the drinks, bread with special butters, soups, truffle pasta, chicken with a pastry top version of a chx pot pie and some other entrees were all terrific. The apple dessert did not disappoint either - yum ( need to order ahead to give it 25 mins or so ) First rate -don't miss this gem of a restaurant! . Thx you for a wonderful dinner! Enjoy

Pretty good restaurant. Really enjoyed the ambiance the most. Especially because it's away from all…read morethe touristy stuff. The amuse bouche was bread with two spread and a cold pea soup. The soup was refreshing and I really enjoyed it. The bread was good as well. One of the spreads was obazda dip which I love. I thought they made it ok. We started with the veal ravioli. They were tender and tasted pretty good. I had the restaurant special which was basically a chicken pot pie. I thought it was good but I've had better. I thought the chicken was over cooked and the capers inside was a bit off putting to me because there were so many and made the whole dish too sour for me. It was a bit off putting. My friend had the fillet with white asparagus and potatoes and hollandaise sauce. It was basic but I preferred her dish. The dessert had strawberry and tarragon I believe. It was well balanced, not too sweet, and I liked the herbs with the dessert. They also had a nice drink menu and a good variety of wines. They did not let us try the wine before pouring it which I expected since this is a nice place. Overall thought the service was decent but not great.

The pizza is fresh, delicious, and generously portioned. I should've brought a guest!…read more I went with the margharita with extra buffalo mozzarella. There was no wait at 2p on a Tuesday afternoon, which was perfect for a jetlagged traveler. With a margharita, the quality of the ingredients makes or breaks it - so I loved the gluten-y crust, fresh mozzarella, and high-quality olive oil. It all really came through. As a solo diner I wish I'd known how big the portion would be. The pie was a foot across! The wait staff is uniformed, serves drinks with a flourish, and speaks English quite well.

From the very instant we crossed the threshold of this establishment, it became woefully apparent…read morethat hospitality had taken its leave and courtesy had been banished to some distant and undiscovered land. Our waiter received us not with the civility one might reasonably expect when entering a restaurant, but with an air of such profound displeasure that one might have believed our mere arrival had constituted a personal affront. His manner was dismissive, inflexible, and consistently unpleasant, setting the tone for what would become an unnecessarily arduous meal. When we attempted to make a modest adjustment to our order, our request was met with remarkable rigidity. One might have accepted such inflexibility as the immutable law of the kitchen--had the very dish subsequently delivered to our table not been incorrect. Thus, flexibility was apparently impossible when requested by the guest, yet error remained entirely achievable by the establishment. And then came the waiting. The restaurant was by no means bustling with patrons. No great multitude filled the tables; no banquet of royal proportions appeared to be underway. Yet our food journeyed from kitchen to table with all the urgency of a medieval pilgrimage. Minutes stretched into what felt like seasons. Empires might have risen and fallen in the interval. But the crowning absurdity of the evening concerned a humble bottle of water. We ordered another water. It never arrived. Having already endured the considerable passage of time required for our meal, we eventually asked that the missing water simply be removed from the bill. We no longer wanted it. This, however, appeared to present an insurmountable philosophical dilemma. Our waiter insisted upon bringing it nonetheless. We paid. And only then--after the bill had been settled, the meal concluded, and any conceivable need for the water had evaporated--did the long-awaited vessel finally make its triumphant appearance. Behold: the water had come. Alas, it had arrived not merely late, but in another age entirely. Mistakes happen. Food can take longer than expected. An order can be misunderstood. None of these things alone would compel me to leave such a review. What made this experience so unpleasant was the attitude accompanying every interaction. A restaurant need not be perfect, but courtesy should not be considered an optional accompaniment. We entered seeking dinner. We departed having endured a minor Shakespearean tragedy--complete with conflict, suspense, errors, interminable waiting, and, in the final act, the dramatic arrival of a bottle of water no one wanted anymore. Would I return? Nay.

Wow! One of the best schnitzels and beer I have had. I have…read morebeen traveling around Austria and Germany and this is one of the best I have had. I stopped by here by myself maybe around 6pm on a Monday and was seated at a table because the bar was full, but told I only had an hour since they were full for reservations. That was totally fine and knew I wouldn't be more than that. If you are coming here with other people, you definitely need to make a reservation. The servers are dressed in traditional German clothes which is a very cool touch. Everyone I spoke to also spoke English. I ordered the schnitzel and whichever beer they recommended with it. I am typically NOT a beer person, but of course I had to try one and whatever this was, was very good. The schnitzel was so crispy and also very delicious. Highly recommend this place!!

The service at Haufbrauhaus was terrible. I ordered a seasonal beer and it was fantastic and the outside seating was wonderful on a perfect day. Our server was awesome and spoke perfect english. I ordered the charcuterie board and it had a couple of hummus scoops and a beef stick and this scoop of stuff that was way too rich for me with pieces of butter in it, but the Germans love it. The pretzels that came with it were great and the cream cheese scoop went perfectly on the pretzel. One of the best meals in Munich, give it a try.

This was a delightful place for a meal and not a five minute walk from my hotel. We came here…read morebecause the person behind the counter [at the hotel] told us we should try it here but be prepared to wait a bit as they do get busy in the evening. Like she said, The restaurant was busy and we did not have have reservations. The very nice gentleman who was greeting the incoming guests just smiled and asked us to wait patiently for a few minutes... Not ten minutes later, we were able to get a table. Helene (my wife) and I are pretty much creatures of habit, We usually eat light in the evenings while traveling and we are both in love with European pizza... It's always so fresh and tasty. So, we ordered the pizza and an order of mozzarella and tomatoes. Everything was wonderful. This was one large pizza (and we managed to finish it). So Perfect, everything was fresh, hot (or cold when it needed to be) and tasty! When we returned to the hotel, we thanked the team member behind the counter and told her that We truly enjoyed our meal and had a lovely time. KUDOs to the team at L'Osteria.

Nice space near downtiwn Munich. Busy restaurant but service was good…read more This is what I would call standard Italian food in Germany. Nothing extrodinary or unqiue, just standard fare. Pasta was ok with a good sized portiin of cheese. Lasagna was piping hot but nothing fancy or unique. Pizzas here are popular, big but thin crust and minimal toppings.
