Went midweek so it wasn’t overly busy, but the place is adorable inside. All the staff were very nice. Our server helped us pick what to eat since it was our first visit. The pretzel was probably the best one I have EVER had, anywhere. I’ve never had spätzle before that I can remember but I’ve been craving more of this one ever since.
I ordered the Schnitzel Dietrich with potato pancakes and red cabbage and he had the Prinz von Preussen. I discovered I’m not a fan of Gorgonzola, but other than that I could eat this meal every day. The demi glaze on the schnitzel was to die for, the red cabbage wasn’t sweet and was actually peppery (so yum!), and the pancakes were perfectly crispy. His Neal was fantastic as well, and neither of us could finish. Dessert was also above and beyond with some serious chocolate pie and a mountain berry mascarpone cake that might be favorite cake ever.
All in all, I literally have nothing negative to say about any part of our visit and cannot wait to go back.
For our mains we ordered the Prussian Prince’s pork platter, and the Maifest special pork shank roast. The pork platter was quite good and similar to meat sampler platters that I’ve had in the past at other nice German restaurants – generous portions of bratwurst, schnitzle, pork chops with sauce + traditional sides, but I’d never seen a pork shank cooked/presented this way. It first made me think of Peking Duck because of its golden brown crispy skin, which completely covered the shank – and was slightly UFO shaped. The ‘skin’ of the shank was crispy and delicious and tasted like a pork belly was wrapped around the shank. The meat was very tender and mildly spiced. The whole piece sat on some demi-glace sauce that was very nice (especially in conjunction with mustard).
I really wanted to try some apple strudel, so we had to get most of our meal packed up to have stomach space. It was rich and sweet – thin and flakey layers of crisp pastry over a layer of apples with cinnamon whipped cream on top. We did finish that! Our meal lasted about an hour and a half, so it’s definitely a spot to enjoy your drinks and chat in between courses. We’ll definitely be back…
