Stopped here for an early lunch on a Saturday. Loved the onion soup, pretzel, and whitefish toast. I was somewhat worried the menu might be meat-centric, but at least as an ovo-lacto-pescatarian (I’m vegetarian-adjacent, but eat eggs, dairy, and fish), there were plenty of great options. Definitely hope to go back soon!

We had dinner here and tried the Kase Spatzle and the Curry Wurst plus a blackberry cider and glass of wine. Keep in mind they accept cash or American Express only. I thought the food was excellent and well priced. The total for our dinner was $70 without the tip when paying in cash. They do add a 4% fee if you use Amex. My only complaint was the person who waited on us wasn't very friendly and barely said anything, no recommendations on food or a thank you at the end of the meal. Overall the meal was enjoyable and did remind us of food we ate in Austria.

The pretzel was top notch. Got the bratwurst, yummy – although personal preference don’t love the sauerkraut. The spatzle was also good. Vibe is cozy & warm.

Great flavor small portions. Not much of a schnitzel as far as actual German schnitzels go, but it was a tasty breaded, sort of pounded, half chicken breast. . The pasta dishes are fantastic. Beers are also great. A good selection and cold tap.

Walked in and was immediately greeted warmly by the bartender and what seemed to be the manager—both very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere felt inviting right from the start. Ordered a draft beer and the paprika chicken—both were excellent. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. I’ll definitely be coming back.
