The food was great but very overpriced. 1 piece of veal schnitzel and a few potatoes for $39 and $6 extra for a sauce. They have the smallest pours of wine I’ve ever seen.

Everything was splendid. Best schnitzel we’ve had in a long time. We didn’t care for our apple strudel but that could be just personal taste. But all in all, we will be back again.
