Lots of natural lighting. Candle on the table and nice dishware elevated the ambiance. Started with the sauerkraut balls for appetizer. Lovely. I'm a skeptic with fried foods and the breading was light with a large portion of kraut and sausage inside. The mustard crema balanced it nicely. If I come back, I'll ask for a couple of pickles with it. Entrees: we ordered a wurst plate and a duck schnitzel to share between two adults. It was the perfect balance of richness with homemade vinegar sides to balance. Service was warm and professional. Exactly what I expect for the price point. Waiter was knowledgeable about the food and pleasant without being too involved (given that we were the only table at the time). Waters were never dry and the seating was comfortable. We didn't drink but it would be a nice place to hang with a cocktail. Impressive drink menu.

Otto's was my FAVORITE dinner in Fredericksburg and I already can't wait to return for another…read morefantastic meal during my next visit! It 100% lived up to the hype (it was highly recommended)! NOTES: - Reservations: available online through Tock/Resy - Parking: free street parking nearby within walking distance - Online ordering: available on their website through PopMenu for pickup THE HIGHS: - Arrived a little early for our reservation and got seated right away - Server (Tiffany) was delightful - Reasonably priced (especially compared to some other restaurants in town) - Sauerkraut balls were unique and DELICIOUS - Duck schnitzel is what dreams are made of THE LOWS: - They were out of black forest cake (which we were so excited to try) THE PRICE: Reasonably priced for the food quality and portion size - Iced tea ($4) - Pretzel Und Bierkäse ($12) - Sauerkraut Balls ($18) - 2 Duck Schnitzel ($34 each) The total was $110.40 after tax ($8.40) but before tip. BEST BITES: - Sauerkraut balls (crispy but not oily and so incredibly flavorful) - Duck schnitzel (duck breast is tender and crispy without being oily, the käsespätzle is creamy, and the kirsch demi-glacé is so unique) THE VERDICT: This was my first visit to Otto's after seeing it recommended online by so many people so it was a must try while visiting Fredericksburg. It ended up being my favorite dinner I had there and I've already recommended it to others because it was that good!

The Buzz is the Craft Beer Bar in the Whole Foods in Bee Cave…read more Don't knock going to Whole Foods to drink. The comparable establishment at Whole Foods Domain - the Draft Shack - is one of the two best beer bars in Austin. (The other one is the Beer Plant) And, no, I do not want to hear all the anguished cries of pain from fans of Bangers, the Draught House, Pinthouse etc. etc. etc. In terms of quality of selection, the Draft Shack and the Beer Plant are it. And just in case, I checked this out with God, the last time he was Yelping in Austin. (He was having Korean Fried Chicken at Seoulju, where He was impressed.) He agrees with me on the beer places. * * * The Buzz is not as impressive as the Draft Shack. There are forty percent fewer beers. There are a lot more you-can-get-them-lotsa-places items (Celis, Left Hand Milk Stout). The rare items are not necessarily well chosen. I had a Rocket Fuel - a Vietnamese coffee porter. This is, for all intents and purposes, chocolate milk passing itself off as beer. * * * However, the headline story of Buzz is the scenery and the location. This is more of a place to hang out rather than a place to get fussy over your beer. The room itself is no great shakes, but there are three balconies and these make all the difference. You can overlook the store. You can sit outdoors on the service side and look at the doctor's office across the street. Or you can go whole-hog I-love-the-Hill-Country-Galleria, and sit on the main balcony and look out at one of the busiest pedestrian intersections in the Galleria. In the Draft Shack in the Domain, you can kind of forget where you are and lose yourself in the room. It is a small internal place where all the views look inward. The Buzz wants you to sit on a balcony and see the world. So a lot depends on whether you love or hate the Galleria. The couple behind me were all-out Galleria lovers. They had been there much of the afternoon. It was quite clear that this was a destination good time for them. They had picked two chairs with good views and were wholly immersed in the passing scene. I would guess they were regulars. I am fascinated, intrigued and repulsed by the Galleria all at once. It is a fake artificially-planned city - in the tradition of the Domain Austin or the District at Green Valley Ranch in Las Vegas. For a shopping mall/city it is surprisingly well done. They put City Hall and the Public Library right in the middle of the mall. City Hall is an impressive structure. Bee Cave Police Headquarters is also right in the mall. So they do what they can to make this a real town. Citizens can go to the Galleria to attend City Council meetings and give speeches at the mike about the motion under consideration. There are public squares. There are large single family homes, of urban design but pretty nice looking. There are sitting places on the corners for people. People can and do sit on the corner benches and talk to their friends. The Galleria feels both planned and synthetic. However, it is the bona fide center of the City of Bee Cave. Life revolves around it. The store and restaurant line-up is pretty decent. There are places I would want to eat, places I would want to hang out, places I would want to drink coffee and places I would want to shop. (I actually did shop while I was there. I loved H & M.) Real offices overlook much of the scenery. The sign on the wall at Buzz promises that the balcony offers views of real Hill Country sunsets. That is kind of hard since neither balcony faces west. Just between the wall of Whole Foods, and the wall across the street of the European Wax Center, you get a ten degree snippet where you can make out a sliver of western sunset sky. I suspect most of the customers get better Hill Country views from the windows of their own homes. * * * That said, the comings and goings of the street below are not uninteresting. The Austin hippie/techie count is low but not zero. The rich teenager count is high. Half are accompanied by Mom or Dad. The unchaperoned kids do shenanigans. The shoppers have their dramas, just as shoppers always have their dramas. The late afternoon light makes everything warm and inviting. It makes you almost want to take a job at one of the offices where the sun is pouring in. * * * So passing an afternoon at the Buzz is not the worst torture that life can mete out to you. But I would still rather drink at Whole Foods Domain. The scenery here is nice. But Austin is not short of bars with great crowds and great scenery.

Growlers are sold as well, so you can take the party home with you. They don't serve food, but you can pick some up in the market downstairs and enjoy it in here. There are three different balconies outside that offer great views of the domain area. Great people watching opportunities since you are upstairs. One of the balconies has a view of the lake, which is my favorite. The drafts are reasonably priced, with most being $5 for a pint. This was a nice discovery inside the market.
