We came here on the recommendation of Carole Bucholtz; it was our first experience of German food. We were a little hesitant when we got there because it was slightly smoky and a little noisy, but Herr Klein our waiter soon put us at ease. His English was pretty good, and he led us through the maze of German names into a delicious if a little heavy dining experience. We all drank Kolsch Beer, and it was a heady experience. The salads were very fresh and full of unusual things like corn and white radish. We tried Weiner Schnitzel with fried potatoes, smoked pork with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, boiled beef with horseradish sauce, and leg of pork with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. (There were 4 of us traveling together). The only one that was a little strange was the boiled beef. The rest were great, and the portions were large.
We had apple strudel and custard sauce for dessert. Service was very fast and efficient, though not so fast that we didn't learn that Herr Klein's girlfriend is also trying to learn German and doesn't speak any more than we do. This is good solid food in a beer-hall atmosphere.
