My sister took me here while I was visiting from out of town (NYC area, so I KNOW restaurants!). She warned me that the portions were small, so I was expecting something tiny. First of all, this place is really nicely done with decor and presentation. We each got white wine recommended, ordered the cheese plate (delish!) and for dinner the mac and cheese, steak over spaetzle (sp?) and pork over white chocolate mashed potatoes. Everything was amazing! The steak was good, not my fave and I apparently don't like spaetzel. The pork, however, was SOOO good and the white chocolate mashed potatoes, although sounding strange, were perfect and I loved them (I don't even like white chocolate!). The mac and cheese was pretty amazing itself, as my sister said it would be. We were stuffed after all of that...The portions are appropriate! People are used to eating huge amounts because we are such a food-driven culture! It's rediculous to assume that the quailty of a restaurant is based purely on the quantity that is served. Sure, this might not be great quantity, but it's definatelty quaility...and maybe some of you fat people should stop eating so much anyway! If you want quantity, go to McDonalds for crying out loud. We were really just perfectly fed and happy with the amount of food. I'll definately go back on my next visit to see my sister. This place would be great for a date spot. Definately recommend!!! I wish they had one in NYC. Pros: Everything is delish! Great atmosphere, nice staff, reasonable prices for a nice restaurant. Cons: Not much...trying to think of some, but really cannot...I guess prices could be a tad more reasonable. more
