Went here for lunch yesterday and were not disappointed. We got a chicken Schnitzel and a pork Schnitzel, one with a side of Bratkartoffeln and the other with red cabbage.
The red rabbagw could have been a little hotter, it was just warm as if heated up. The Schnitzels were delicious!
There’s a patio area for seating and also indoor seating.

Really good German food. We are big fans of German food. Excellent menu of appetizers and mains covering most of the spectrum of German dishes. Nice drinks menu too. We had the Jagerschnitzel and bratwurst with curry sauce. Both were with red cabbage (rotkohl) and sauerkraut and mashed potatoes for the sausage. Schnitzel was crispy outside moist inside and the sauce was great. The sausage was very nice. Portions were huge! We had the potato pancakes for appetizer, with apple sauce. Nice and crispy on the outside, moist inside; perfect. Service was snappy and friendly. All together a wonderful authentic German restaurant.

Cozy restaurant serving German dishes. We visited during the San Carlos Night of Lights, and the restaurant was at full capacity. I was worried it’d take a while for our orders to arrive but our food came promptly and everyone in the family enjoyed their meal!
Adults had the veal schnitzel, and kids had the chicken schnitzel and Bratwurst entrees which were quite good! We’ve had our fair share of schnitzels in Germany and Austria, and Bistro Mitte delivers a very good version. The sides were fine, albeit the red cabbage was a bit on the sweet side for me, and I generally prefer there to be German pickle bits added to a German potato salad , but overall we had a great experience and will be back!

Excellent German restaurant with authentic and very flavorful food. Highly recommended for vegetarians. The vegetarian Schnitzel was phenomenal

We were so excited to try this new restaurant because it’s German, and until now we’ve had to track to Palo Alto for German food. I’m so glad we went here! We came here without a reservation for Friday night, but locked out and got a table. It was getting extremely crowded as we left! So definitely make reservation. The food was wonderful! Everything was lovely, but I think our favorite was the schnitzel. Can’t wait to come here again. We are already talking about coming back! Very sad that we didn’t leave room for dessert.

Food was good, we especially enjoyed liver patties, and the wurst plate was delicious. Potato latkies were too oily, which is sad as I love latkies and was anticipating a treat.
Service was really good, attentive and nice.

Update. We came back and had a completely different experience. We ordered the same meals as last time but they weren’t as good. We didn’t finish any of the meals. Unfortunate change. I’m going to hit up a different restaurant next time I crave a good schnitzel.

Both of us got a blind tasting which was a fun way to try a flight of random wines!
The food was fantastic. We immediately got hooked on the artichoke beignets and I wish we ordered about 5 more orders. The shrimp and lobster ravioli was the biggest surprise, it was incredible, and the perfect portion to share!
The waiter brought us a tasting of his favorite Cabernet and it was incredible too!

The food here was just like what I had in Berlin. Arguably better! Good beer as well. The service was also similar to what I got in Germany which keeps this from being a five star review.
