The Summary:
This was a very unexpected jewel we found hidden in a corner. Excellent service by our server, Natalia, great schnitzel, wonderful sausages, cold beer, nice goulash, and some sort of a fried applestrudel different from what I had seen before. Worth revisiting.
The Experience
A little boomed because the Oktoberfest was full so we couldn't get in, we started looking up German food places to at least feel like we celebrated.
We found this little place at a corner, very cozy, kind of empty, clean and nice.
We were greeted by Natalia and sat at a table.
First order of the day: a tall, cold beer, the Koestrizer German dark lager couldn't be in a more perfect chill point. I wished I wasn't driving so I could order another one, but what are you going to do? One had to be enough.
As for food, we ordered three dishes to share:
A Goulash, a sausage sampler, and a schnitzel.
The Bavarian goulash was good. I'm more used to the Hungarian or the Romanian versions, but the Cuckoo Clock's Bavarian Goulash is pretty good in its own right.
The original Wiener schnitzel was almost perfect, sided with a nice potato salad and red cole slaw.
The more mixed feelings I have are about the sausage sampler. The potato salad and the cole slaw were good, and some of the sausages were very nice while I didn't enjoy a couple of the others, but I couldn't tell you which were which.
For desserts, we ordered the apfelstrudel. which was very good, but it reminded me of a huge McDonald's hot apple pie, as opposed to the pastry I usually get when I order an apple strudel anywhere else.
Overall this is a place to come back. the service is awesome, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and it's a very peaceful and quiet place to eat.
