Food quite good, service lacking though as the waiters/waitresses did not make us feel at home, what a shame. Orders were wrong on four occasions during the evening and the loud noisy atmosphere didn't help the ambience.
Its hard to get german food in Sydney so this place is already at a headstart. The food is tasty, and consistently good but not mindblowing. They have cut costs recently, no more complimentary bread, order a side of steamed garden veggies and you get microwaved frozen veggies.
The venue itself has an enjoyable atmosphere with lots of Germanic paraphenaleur on the walls. However, it can be very noisy! Request a table downstairs, otherwise, it can be very difficult to hear your dinner companions' conversations. The value is reasonable but nothing specially: schnitzels $22-26, strudels $8-8.5, 500ml German tap beer $8.
The reviews are so low because of the service, we went in a group of 10, we try and support our local business, we found the host totally lacking in any warmth, and she came across as if we were a bother being there. So the ambience that should have been there was replaced with (oh boy, did we make a mistake coming here feeling) such a shame when a smile costs nothing and a few nice words of welcome.
The food was good and plentiful. But we all decided we would not be back or recommend the restaurant to our friends. Also the service was slow, an hour between entree and main meal. Most of us didn’t have an entree, so we sat and waited and waited.
I went there in a group of 10 so we had to pick the set menu (A). The entree was good but the main wasn't that great. The waitress that served us was rude! And they almost overcharged us as well but lucky we checked the bill.
I visited during the week to find the restaurant nearly full. The food was as good as if not better than in Germany. The beer was excellent. All very reasonably priced. However, the parking lot's small.
Waitress was rude from the moment we walked in. Schnitzel was the worst I have ever had and the food on my plate looked like "slop". My husband enjoyed his pork knuckle - everything else on his plate however was rather average. Great beer selection and dessert menu looked great, I was too disappointed to try however. Food comes out way too quickly which left us questioning if everything was precooked and warmed up in the microwave??
This restaurant is quite nice. Went on a Saturday night and the place was buzzing. Very authentic food, and the schnitzel is really really good. The atmosphere is fun, I liked all the little things on the wall, makes it feel like you are actually in Austria.
The only item that wasn’t up to scratch was the apple strudel, maybe after having a divine strudel in Cologne (Germany) I am too picky. It was on the colder side when it came, and the pastry wasn’t all that nice. Apart from that everything was perfect!
