Fantastic blend of flavors. The potato salad was unique and wished I could have had more. The weinerschnitzel is a surprise when it comes out looking so large but is equally as good when you "pop" the crust. PS. It was soo good we came back a couple of weeks later. This time tried other menu entrees and were not disappointed.
