What to Order
Pork Schnitzel
A classic European dish, praised for its authentic taste and generous portions, especially with the mushroom sauce.
"I had the schnitzel, it was comparable to the one I had in Germany, I had the cream sauce rather than the mushroom gravy, It was delicious!"
Steve N.
Jambalaya
A flavorful and hearty dish featuring mussels, shrimp, chicken, and sausage, with a delightful smoky heat.
"It was amazing it had a wonderful smokey heat that didn't distract from the mussels shrimp chicken and sausage."

Beef Short Rib
A phenomenal, tender, and unctuous beer-braised beef short rib served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
"A phenomenal, unctuous and exceptionally tender beer braised beef short rib with mashed and seasonal vegetables. Fantastic!!!"
Don Kovacs
Bistro Burger
Considered one of the best burgers by many, especially the version with blue cheese.

A delicious starter, often recommended for its rich flavor and perfect preparation.

Inside Scoop
- The restaurant is small and can feel cramped, making it ideal for small groups (4 or less) or romantic couples.
- Tuesdays offer half-price appetizers, but be aware this deal requires the purchase of an alcoholic beverage.
- The noise level is generally low, making it a good spot for conversation.
- They often have live music, particularly a guitarist on Wednesdays, which adds to the atmosphere.
- The patio is a nice option, but the back patio can be sunny.
