My Oberpfälzerhasi brought me here for dinner this evening, and what a nice evening we had.
First, we were greeted warmly by the owner, Wolfgang, the creative genius behind WAM. In almost all of my interactions with German restaurateurs, it's implicit that we will be Deutschsprechening, but the owner seamlessly switched between Oberpfälzer and English when speaking to my husband and me. It wasn't necessary, but he certainly made me feel incredibly welcomed.
After being warmly greeted, we found a table. Talk about a beautifully appointed restaurant that, despite its clean and modern orientation, retains the rustic ambiance of Bavaria. The brasserie faces a beautiful bar. Fun fact: the interior floor-to-ceiling window gives patrons a unique and stunning view into the neighboring Mini Cooper Dealership, which houses an über vintage, Austin Powers-era Mini (Union Jack paint job not included). Viel Atmosphäre!
The owner quickly took our drink and food orders, and he effortlessly managed the other patrons sitting throughout the restaurant. And the menus are super creative -- they are unlike any other menu I've ever seen, and they are printed in both English and Deutsch.
We waited a bit to receive our entrées, but this is very customary in German restaurants in general. In a restaurant that boasts fresh, hausgemacht dishes, I would be skeptical if the food had been served in a New York minute. For my fellow Americans, enjoy the time that you get with your company. And if your company sucks, there's always good Weizen. Prost!
Our dishes were very good. The Schatzi ordered the pork loin with mushrooms and jus; he cleaned his plate. I ordered the large mixed salad with steak. It was so big it should come with a warning! The salad and steak were really good, but I really loved the house made dressing. It tasted like horseradish. I couldn't get enough of it.
I also eye-hustled several of the other dishes that our fellow patrons were eating. The burgers looked amazing AF.
The quality and quantity of food was well worth the wait in this really cool restaurant, and the service was above and beyond. I highly recommend WAM-No1 for both the discerning German and American palate; there really is something for everybody here. read more
