"Recently opened in Highland Park, this Bavarian beer garden drew crowds on a chilly autumn evening—families with strollers packing the front patio facing York Boulevard while date-night diners settled into the dining room. The reviewer started with a glass of gluhwein, describing it as “the hot spiced mulled wine garnished with a slice of fresh orange,” then moved on to crisp potato pancakes and a soft pretzel. The highlight was “the hearty bowl of beef goulash served over homemade spätzle.” The homey stew, “chock-full of tender beef and carrots, stuck to our bones in the best way,” and a flakey apple strudel “made for a fine German finish.” — Cathy Chaplin, senior editor." - Eater Staff
