Service was a bit slower than expected, but it was relatively crowded. Appetizer was interesting with good flavor but a bit sweet for me. Schnitzels and spatzle were very bland but had a good texture. The ambiance was nice and staff was friendly.

I was taken out, by my family, for a birthday dinner celebration. We listened to live music from a special Octoberfest celebration. The musicians interacted with the patrons. It was definitely a good time. The staff was very helpful with information about the available food faire and drinks. The portions were eye appealing and hearty. Our waitress was attentive , accommodating and pleasant. A good time was had by all!

I’ve been going here for decades. I wish this place was how it used to be, with the owners from the 90s. But now the experience is just underwhelming. The weinerschnitzel is so much smaller than it used to be (for a higher price) and while I know they got rid of their famous potatoes years ago, I’m still shocked they made such a terrible decision. Since this place changed hands (after their brief closing many years ago) it just isn’t what it once was. A shame.

There is no formal dress code although you probably need to adhere to the local norms shoes pants/shorts shirt. They might throw you out if you come in naked.

Apparently this place isn't closed for business. When I last worked in downtown Chicago they were slated to close.
