“ Great German food, great whiskey selection, great atmosphere (can't go wrong with a George Costanza on the wall for that!). Try the 'steak au four': a pork steak, topped with a white sauce pork stew, and lots of cheese. ”
“ Cool place, good food. It was confusing tho that I called for reservation, but the waitress said in the phone that there'll definitely be seats, and it turned out that all seats indoor were reserved for people sitting outside, so I had to sit there with the risk of being kicked out in case of weather change brings the people in. It was also confusing that the menu says steak but it turned out to be pork. ”
